Running low on hate?

CrossFit Cincinnati: Maximal Results, Minimal Time!

Check out the vids (sub-cooch should stop filming and start checking form)

How long before someone is hurt and sues for negligence, how long before that leads to the "deep pockets", who provided the "certification"? I hope couch has his cash in untouchable offshore gin futures.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for the common man getting fit, and I applaud the people wanting it, but I truely believe many people in the vids are too deconditioned to be WODDING and I don't even pretend to be a fitness professional.

Maybe I am totally off base?

The quotes at the end of the videos are good "speed of the leader, speed of the team"? (don't think so)

Gah...must stop watching...lol

This is a legitimate question. I do consulting work for an area CrossFit and they are great people, but someone somewhere is going to get more than a torn callous from high rep cleans or a little bump on the head from losing their grip on a half-giant kipping pull-up, and when that happens things might change.

No, no, no. This is the super secret levitation training that Cooch was talking about. That's actually why it costs a grand to attend.

One of my favorite jokes of all time. :supz:
I saw Mick use it in a post and laughed my ass off so I thought I'd try it on as a nom de guerre for a while.

I have destroyed my right shoulder on more than one occasion doing fucking kipping pullups, over head squats, and snatches.

Some people just aren't built for that kind of shit and the @ssfit methodology is a sink or swim environment that leads to over use injuries.

Hell I tore a pec doing @ssfit due to 2 weeks of workouts that included an ungodly amount of ring dips that led to 2 strained pectorals and a tear while hanging from a fucking pull up bar trying to loosen up my lower back.

Not to mention my first 6 or 8 month experiment with @ssfit led to my squat and deadlift fucking plummeting to teenage girl levels.

Gawddamn I hate @ssfit.

If they are doing it right I think I'll stick with doing wrong and enjoying my training.

Don't hate the snatches man. Just because @f1t has you doing them for sets of 75, doesn'T eman the lift is bad. Same goes for OH squats.... I really can't defend kip pull-ups though.
They're more efficient, but working such a ballistic move for so many fucking repetitions is like throwing a baseball day in, day out at full speed. Your elbows WILL get fucked.

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

I don't hate them I've just come to realize that overhead squats and snatches agravate old injuries.

This could very well be due to piss poor form since I don't have a coach.

When I'm the most knowledgeable person at the gym in regards to the Oly lifts there is something seriously fucking wrong.

Sorry kiddies, the Great Couch no longer has to leave his rancho in AZ for the certs. The lemmings are covering the bulk of them now.

You'll probably see him only pop out for the occasional photo op with some fire, leo, mil certs. The question is now exactly WTF this guy is doing now. Juniors running the certs, lemmings running the affiliates, and wifey posting the daily WODs.

Hilarious. So craftily engineered that all the praise and thanks still goes back to him.

Here is what the Cross Shit Games site says:

"Our workouts are competitive events."

"The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”

What the fuck is he talking about? Who the fuck have they ever dominated? Is this mother fucker really that delusional? Every Cross Shit picture I've ever seen is of a 100 pound meth addict would couldn't deadlift my dick.

Crossfit is a cult. Can't proove shit in the real world so they created THEIR world.

Oh my GAWD!

Not 100 air squats!

That is so freaking hard core.

No wonder the @ssfit geeks dominate every aspect of sport and fitness.

Perhaps gravity is stronger in their world, have you considered that?

Here are some more "elite" byproducts of couch's magic. My son's 8th great football team would tear these mother fuckers apart.

The only air squat worthy of attention is sitting my ass on the throne and shitting down the mouth's of the Cross Shit cult.

Welp, seems the cultfitters had their "games" this weekend and cooch now has him a new bicycle...

Unfortunately they didn't pull a Jim Jones and all suicide, and no mass accidental explosions occurred that I know of. So we'll have to keep hearing from their oddness...

Cooch says their making a movie, and have deals with ESPN. Holy shit, just shoot me now...

I swear to God those fags have to take video and pictures of any goddamn thing that moves. Note the idiot crouched down trying to get an upshot of Laurens skirt...

About the only nice thing I can think of is, the one dude does have a nice Hawaiian shirt but christ o mighty not with the red pants. The rest of the bunch looks like some folks they rounded up at Commerce St. and asked them to put down the bottles so they could take a picture.
