to be fair some are in the 450-500 range. I occassionally do x-fit WOD's and posted a 450ish one a month or two back, and a few people beat me.
If you read the logs, some people implement x-fit quite intelligently - eg have a weights/strength focus day and then a couple of gpp days. But then again, there aint really much difference between what they do and, say a Charlie Francis approach of alternating high intensity weight sessions with low(er) intensity tempo runs and bodyweight circuits. I guess it goes back to the question of 'what is x-fit?'... and to be honest, it's nowhere near important enough to warrant such naval gazing.

I'll be the first to say that coach brings most it on himself by opening his mouth. But I've stolen tons of great stuff off of xfit for free, and I'm grateful. And even if you disagree with everything, he's forced people to rejustify and hone their arguments, which is A Good Thing. Finally, I don't think "the breaks of naval air" include this...powerlifter54 wrote:Breaks of Naval Air for Couch.
Nothing he has ever said or done justifies that, to me. There is a line, and bringing in his wife crossed it. I guess I have an officer's screwed up sense of right and wrong. I think only Grandpa's Spells called him on it. Everyone else either agrees with it or is a moral coward for looking the other way. It's the IGx version of koolaid drinking.I think I could contribute to this discussion by smashing Gxxxxx's face in with a KB. Someone set it up, and I let you help me tag his wife over his bloody corpse.
Fat Cat, you're a piece of shit for saying it, and a fucking coward for not saying it to his face. You're just another chickenshit internet tough guy like Marc. You owe his wife an apology, at a minimum.
Bill F, I can't imagine having my real name tied to that quote, much less reveling in it like a dog rolling in two days old shit. I continue to be amazed.

I just offered to help her through a difficult transitional period and you get all out of sorts. I thought it was the gentlemanly thing to do. Please take your pamprin and get over your estrogenics. Since you don't really offer anything to anyone here, and can't back anything you say up, one wonders what the fuck you are doing here.nafod wrote: Fat Cat, you're a piece of shit for saying it, and a fucking coward for not saying it to his face.

NAFOD,
Alot of Fat Cat's comments are tounge and cheek, it's not like he went over to a sight she is on,one her freinds are on or would know about and said that shit.
But I respect sticking up for a woman.
Stow the Officer Checkenshit =), this aint some O club, it's more like the bar in Roadhouse.
We cool, I'm not piling on you, just pointing out some things.

Most interesting is the third post down in the thread from DB/JR's post. "If you can't say something nice..." Now that's funny shit.

"...tied to that quote" The only logical meaning that could have is my name is "tied to that quote" because I started the thread about Couch's training dipshittery in which Fat Cat typed very mean things on his computer. Since you're all over this thread too aren't you "tied to that quote" too. Are you stupid enough to think someone couldn't find out who you are with one phone call if they needed to? (I found a guy typing from a public library computer on a free hotmail account under the name murderurfamily, he's in jail) Are you stupid enough to think that someone with half a brain would hold me responsible for Fat Cat's rage issues. He also says very mean things about Jews. I'm a Jew and I told him stop, but he didn't. Do you think I'm a Jew hater? Another CF jack off implied that.
All I've said in this thread Is Couch is a fatass who likes to talk shit but doesn't like to train. Oh yeah, and he likes to insult guys like Mark Twight, Dan John, Steve Cotter and Jack Reape who he's not qualified to be in the same room with. He also manages to alienate his own best people. I stand by what I said in my name.
Talk about anonymous internet tough talk. You have the jumped the shark from annoying to white niose.

Well I wonder if Nafod will be back after Marc's comment but if I may add less than my .02 cents worth...dude you could dial back the self righteous indignation just a bit. You roll into our little band of unsavory brothers here and get offended at a comment made that has absolutely nothing to do with you. This site is just one iteration of multiple versions over the last four years or so founded on the single notion that nothing is sacred and you can say whatever you have the stones to say. That can be some very liberating but also very heavy shit to deal with. You stated you're some kind of engineering teacher/professor so you are obviously educated and bright so I'm amazed and amused that you'd take the stance you're taking...like jumping into a mosh pit then getting pissed when someone kicks you in the head. But hey we can all make an ass of ourselves on occasion...I do it quite regular.
I used to frequent a sportbike forum years ago but I wasn't on there much nor did I post much. I was looking at it one day reading a post by some kid about his "best kill" during the first Iraq dustup. As I was reading the various replies I started getting very pissed that these lying little shits were talking so callously about killing. I made a reply, calling them all a bunch of pretending little cocksuckers and to pony up some proof of even being in the service etc. Sent a message to the moderators and basically made an ass of myself. The head moderator agreed with me but I felt like a dumbass because I got stirred up over nothing...just kids talking shit and it was their forum not mine. So pretty please with fucking sugar on top, chill or bag ass.
Oh and lastly, nobody and I mean nobody, gives the Golden Lawyer God with the Adamantium Abs trouble, you got that?

The only reason I said it wasn't cool was because I'm very familiar with the lack of character and tact on the CrossFit forum. Someone was going to (and did) take Fat Cat's quote and rabble about it on the CF forum to score points. There, Greg's wife might have gotten wind of it, and that could fuck with the sleeping habits of a possibly perfectly nice person with unfortunate taste in men.nafod wrote:Nothing he has ever said or done justifies that, to me.

But I wouldn't blame Fat Cat for that, any more than I would blame ogrish.com for being utterly uncensored when some dipshit sends me a picture from there. I get pissed at the dipshit. Greg was very stupid for cross-posting an IG thread to CF, as were the folks repeating Fat Cat's joking statements, as if they were serious, where Laurie might read them. THAT is reprehensible.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
I was born to talk shit. Anybody who has a problem with that, makes me laugh. Cooch treats people like shit, and I'd be happy to return the favor.
But ya'll know I'm joking...I wouldn't ever fuck a Jew.

Just for your information so you don't take this too seriously. IGx was started after off topic barbs and opinions were disalloed at dragon door. One Steve Freides, self appointed netcop and owner of a head like a chia pet to go with a warped sense of training knowledge got us kicked off a server for some harsh, very innapropriate, and hilarious comments. Most of which were over the line, but that is the point. This site is about over the line, and nobody is above reproach. The couch and his acolytes brought their weak game and intellectually indefensible training approach debate to us. He was not asked, nor were his minions, to defend the pukey and rhabdo here or at DD. They jumped in at both places and 80K hits later it is still a huge source of fun for all. I don't know the man or his wife, and if she was offended i apologize in the broadest sense. Still, this is a site about over the line. We all can name something about each of the patrons we hate, for example the jealousy everybody here has for me is sickenning, but i plod on.
i suggest you plod on and not take this seriously. But hone your verbal knife fighting skills.
