Have any of you or your clients ever suffer from Global Transient Amnesia?
My wife trained a client yesterday and had a bout of amnesia at the conclusion of the training session. Dr. said that it can be triggered by either pshychological or physical stress.
Thanks!

Easier than explaining the kind of 'training' she was giving her client.
I'm not clear from the wording of the comment just who had the GTA episode...the trainer or the client. Even better if it had been the trainer, a manifestation of deep seated guilt and remorse.
It wasn't very informative, but two things jumped out at me. One, the video suggests that the RRG is just the holding company for captive lawyers who are also @Fers (Couch defender extraordinaire, Dale Saran, probably fits in here somewhere). Two, I get the idea that the RRG is not going to even consider settling a rhabdo case (for fear that it will encourage more rhabdo suits and settlements).
Ummm...so they're going to bet the company on an ex-JAG (who is currently writing cease and desist letters for Couch) to successfully defend a rhabdo lawsuit?

There are some things you just don't do in-house.
My wife and I were discussing this last night. They don't stand a chance in hell of backing up an affiliate that gives some poor sap rhabdo. All a judge or jury is going to hear is that some idiot trainer took a noob throug a RIDICULOUS workout that left them in the hospital with failing kidneys.
@F's lawyer du jur will spew some bullshit about training modalities that nobody in the courtroom other than couch gives a shit about.
Back the money truck up.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

I think this is one of the main ideas behind the RRG. Faced with a rhabdo suit, a real insurance company would just settle for a few bucks, then never write another policy for @fit. To couch, though, a settlement is as bad as a defeat. Either way, CrossFit gets officially tagged as unsafe, and that's the end of the gravy train. The RRG will turn any lawsuit into a fight to the death.
If a really serious case comes along, don't be surprised if Glassman sells out his own trainers to protect HQ from responsibility.
couch said so himself wrote:"It can kill you," he said. "I've always been completely honest about that."
...
But for Mr. Glassman, dismissals of his extreme workouts merely help him weed out people he considers weak-willed. "If you find the notion of falling off the rings and breaking your neck so foreign to you, then we don't want you in our ranks," he said.
Think those quotes by the GWF would come up in court? At least he was being honest...

I bid 100 dollars and a pack of gum for Nicole, as she is yesterday's news but probably still doable.

You should have consulted me, the line "her tits are so big it's like staring into the sun" by one of the olympic lifters at Lost BAttalion Hall would have been a great fit.

One, that cum in your eye hurts LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER! For HOURS afterwards! Can't believe I made it to 35 years old before I discovered that!
And two - remember ever laughing so hard that milk or whatever food you were eating actually came back out your nose? Well, so can cum. If it is shot at just the right angle in the mouth/nasopharangeal passages. Yes, I actually had cum come out my nose.. awesome! I don't think I could do that on purpose if I tried. But it sure was fucking funny!!

I was wondering what happened to her. It seems to be that she's reaching out too hard for attention now to be come the next @Fit Superstar. Glassman wants damsels in distress, not sluts who whine about getting a bit of jizz in their eyes. That would never do for him.
(I thought that I should add that, as we discussed before, I don't really support the degradation of women. Simply saying that Glassman wouldn't have it any other way.)
My old high school friends think the latest and greatest thing is to post humilitating high school pics so that your now friends can laugh their assess off at you. Some of these are too fucking funny to pass up.. so I'm passing my humilitation onto you.. Be nice..
I'm on the far right of the couch..
And with the way she's behaving, she'll never get close.
Had to throw this one in to reaffirm that I'm not that hideous anymore.. In fact, a gratuitous crossfit photoblog will likely follow so that I don't have to go back into alcohol-immersion therapy to block out high school all over again..
I'm so over Snowangel. I thought she might really be @fit's next "It Girl" but she's just a poseur. She's not really selling the crazy and slutty routine; it comes across as forced and contrived.
