Legit. Cornerback at UGA. Then he was on the practice squad for the Dolphins.

Results not typical.

WGM, this just the lull in the storm.

We just have to wait until the wind picks up again.

He's in the back, reclining on a giant throne with Josh Hillis chained up in a gold bikini.

Obese people should be the last ones to exercise. Anything they do is either going to be terribly useless (eg. walking on a treadmill, leg extensions, 5lb curls, quarter squats) or cause injury (eg. box jumps, piggy back rides, burpees, quarter squats). So, maybe they blow 90 minutes on a treadmill and burn 750 calories. With that same ninety minutes, they could have:
1. Prepared a good breakfast and bagged lunch. Keeps them off the Krispy Kremes on the way to work and the pizza/cake at the office, and satiated throughout the day so they don't have to snack on Twix and Pepsi. That alone will save them 750 calories of pure sugar and grease, and make them feel much healthier than the junk food would. Diet changes alone can result in 2lbs/week of healthy weight loss.
2. Spent a few minutes stretching. Otherwise, flexibility will become a problem when you are ready to start barbell lifting.
3. Gotten an extra hour of sleep/relaxed to manage stress.

Which do you think would be better for the person's health?

By the way, don't ever actually tell a fattie this. I tried once. Didn't really work out.

I love how they took a photo of a power clean, but cropped it to just show the guy's chest. (Shirtless, naturally.) I bet CrossFit was the program that got him that physique too!

Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of ninnies in your life?

Interesting from a legal perspective. I'd think that X-fit for a training business is confusing with Crossfit, but I'd question whether Crossfit is a protectible mark.

WildGorillaMan · Post by **WildGorillaMan** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:21 am

Ouch. The Crossfit spokesmodels have taken a real downturn since the early days.

Not that I never did the same or worse back in college when staring through the bottom of a bottle of Viuda De Romero, but I wasn't engaged in a branding exercise back then.

Freki · Post by **Freki** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:50 pm

Ah crap. CrossFit's going to be on a local radio show in a few minutes.

EDIT:

The sidekick opened right up w/ "it's like a cult." Which the Cultfitter agreed w/. Just a very general overview pushing the circuit and full body aspect of the workouts. Cult was dropped a few times, including when they mentioned that crossfit.com is where the cult meets. W/ no sense of the unintentional comedy.

@Fit is always awesome for their underloading of strongman exercises...this guy takes it a step farther by needing to clean his faggot-sized tires.

Ok, I just picked up and dropped off 4 tires for my work outs. I *think* the weights are between 50-60lbs for the smallest tire and 150-200lbs for the biggest one.

My question is, what's the best way to clean them? Soap and water? Bleach spray? Anything? I'm not sure where they have been or what they've been in. I'm not to worried about myself but, I have my 19 month old son to worry about.

So please give me comments or suggestions one the "proper" way to clean these tires. I'll try to take a quick iPhone picture in a few but, I'll get better pictures with my camera tomorrow.

Thanks all.

Michael

This thread is awesome. While putting together a rant for somebody I tripped across this: http://www.crossfitla.com/cms/index.php ... eat_it_up/

Remember the steroid guy from the CF Games? ( http://games2008.crossfit.com/athletes/ ... bourn.html ), ( http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football ... sion_x.htm ).

He's teaching nutrition now, apparently.

"John Welbourn is the owner of CrossFit Balboa and is a professional football player. He attended UC Berkeley from '94-'98 on a football scholarship and graduated with a BA in Rhetoric, and minor in Nutritional Science. During ten-years in the NFL, he played and started as an offensive lineman for both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. As a professional athlete whose career depended on consistency and peak performance, he has always been fascinated by nutrition and its effect on the human body. He currently writes the CrossFitBalboa.com blog and is the creator of CrossFit Football - a new CrossFit certification that is specific to the rigors of the game."

Hmm... No mention of roids. How odd.

No lie.

Crossfitters, the real ones, like affiliate owners and the originals and such love 'roids, especially for chicks. Not so much for male Crossfitters, cuz that shows how fucking shitty xfit really is to build muscly stuff.

Pattty, you fucking retard. Like most @fitters you are demonstrating that you don't know shit about shit.

for a fatfuck the MOST effective exercise is walking and fatties absolutely should be exercising. just becuase they can't go ghey and do a muscleup doesn't mean it's not exercise. and shut the fuck up abut diet while you're at it...bagging lunch and "managing stress" is not the problem.

Well this is just hilarious and ironic on several levels. A former football player will teach housewives and poolboys that all they need is more GPP to become football players.

Welbourne will soon be the NFL's wealthiest man, IMO. I believe he is actually PARTNERS with Couch on the @Fit Football thing...meaning Couch is gonna throw his marketing behind this cert. This could be the new BFS for high school idiot football coaches.

No. High school football coaches will not take the time to oversee something as stupid as @fit.

As someone who works with high school athletes on the daily I believe you are overstating the current amount of oversight going on in a high school weightroom. If Couch markets this shit right he could easily get it in there.

I know this is his plan. In conversations, the question came up: What's the best way to get into the public schools. At the time, I suggested the curriculum route. I then related how I had used some @fit drills in training JHS athletes.

I don't think he remembers the conversation.
