But I am surprised by the complaining. If it is too hard then you dont have to it. If you can't do it then there are a ton of other programs out there. This is the one I found works best. And last time I checked I played football with my whole body everyday...so i train they way I am required to play.

NFL Player= Huge PAYCHECK = snorting cocaine off the ass of a high priced call girl's ass.

Crossfitter = small pay check = can't even whack off to online pics of Allison big tits because you're pissing blood from WOD & on top of that depressing news, can't even have a beer because cavemen didn't have beer.

I actually like a lot of the shit that Cultfit Oneworld does but fuck you are going at your own liver with teeth and finger nails taking this man NSAIDs when you are "tore up."

Rather than treating the pain why not treat the actual cause of the pain.

Cassidy had been through it before, every one of them had at one time or another, but it had never been quite this bad. Denton called it 'breaking down,' although Cassidy preferred the nomenclature of certain Caribbean quasi-religious groups: 'walking death' was much closer to it. Quite a bit more, really, than the simple exhaustion of a single difficult workout, breaking down was a cumulative physical morbidity that usually built up over several weeks and left the runner struggling to recover from one session to the next.

The object, according to Denton, was to 'run through' the thing, just as he maintained one should attempt to 'run through' most of those other little hubcaps life rolls into your lane; everything from death in the family to cancer of the colon.

Damn! He said, "I'll see your meth calves and raise you some heroin quads. Because nature favors ME, dammit!"

I don't have a problem with the football programming as much as the pain med prescriptions. My shoulders and elbows hurt for a month while I adjusted to Oly lifting.

The genesis of Hard Style was the development of GS as a sport in the US. It quickly became apparent that to train successfully for GS one had to break all the party rules. RKC's were conflicted and confused that the secret TLT techniques were not effective. Hard Style was put forth as a way for them to feel better about themselves and their sub-optimal training.

And now we have the SSST and TSC.

I have huge respect for Tycens attitude, both for the work he put in on the video and his response here. At the same time, I think it is the duty of this community to note that his movements do not meet the specified requirements. If one wants to call anything a record, it must conform to the standards. To me, for a competition or "record" it can be as ugly as he wants, rounded back and all and it counts (although I do not see the point), but must meet the ROM requirements. So push jerking and not standing to finish the rep equals "Zero".

I think the attitude that gets expressed hurts CrossFitters going for a competitive sporting approach. If I was a judge at the Games (as I was last year, and at the Mid Atlantics) I would not count those reps.
