Cooch himself is a Deca cycle away from a 3 minute Fran and you know it.

Yeah, I can't do them either.

I could always do them. They are not hard if you have some upper body strength. You miss the point. It's gay for adults to be doing them in public like some 8 year old showing off.

Rant, you seem to forget that a lot of @fitters are adult children.

I thought I was making a joke. Clearly I was wrong.

So, back to your actual point: how much of what @fitters do in public isn't like some 8 year old showing off?

We do handstands and cartwheels all the time as part of our warmup for jiujitsu, for spatial awareness and to get used to inversions.

8 year olds don't have these to show off.

Hate to follow up those beautiful titties with more @Fit nonsense (ANYC should be separate thread of her own, IMO) but here is gem from Pukie's Glorious Bucket:

And LOL at this shit: http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=39750

Okay, I'm trying not to panic and hope that someone can tell me what to do.
I somehow let my prescription for blood pressure med run out and my doctor won't be in the office to call in a new one until Monday--after that I have to wait for it to come in the mail (insurance covers the mail kind only).
Soooooo, after 2 days without it, I'm puffy all over and can't take a deep breathe. I dare not crossfit until I can get this swelling down!! Or should I try and see if I can sweat some of the fluid off? Or will I have a stroke/heart attack from stressing my body when it's already struggling against a river of water retention????? I'm not doing anything until someone responds.............hurry!!

Does @Fit make you stupider or do only the stupid buy in? Duh, obviously do a Helen to solve this blood pressure issue!

There's chronic stupidity there. I suspect that most people who have an ongoing scrip for diuretics probably just need to fix their eating habits.

One of the guys at the gym claims a 2:47 Fran.
He's a fantastic athlete, & invited me to time & watch his next Fran.
I don't even know WTF a Fran is, but I'll check it out.

Dude, you gonna get raped.

This just in. Couch is MIA and rumored to be checked in at some sort of "clinic".

He is not making his usual appearances at certs.

Shapecharge · Post by **Shapecharge** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 7:42 pm

Marc, even the best of us lose our edge every once in awhile.

This guy's "hey, would you like to time my Fran?" is very similar to my "hey, would you like to go camping?" If he's got a cardboard box full of old Beanie Babies in his car you better jump out.
