ordinary? really? is it an 8yr old girl?

For when the outside world doesn't give a shit about your "achievements"...

Interesting phrase posted on the affiliate site today...a CF Book of World Records...I think this is a great idea...maybe an online record book of validated achievement. Anything from the biggest med ball clean circle to most double unders in 10 minutes or most consecutive burpees...

logsitall might be a good place for this, but there would need to be evidence that the claims are legit.

Any thoughts?

Even if it is, those weights better be in metric.

Is it just me, or is some of this terminology starting to sound like a gangbang bukkake fest?

Come on Barky, go for some records. Start a circle jerk then a train fuck. Double under a few and come up burping.

Some suggestions from the OP:

Fastest rx'd named WOD's
Most consecutive Muscle Ups, Pull Ups, HeSPUs
Tallest "Box Jump" (could be tires or any apparatus)
Best Tabata Squat score
Consecutive Double Unders
Most Burpees in 1 min

Another chance to show off their mediocrity. There are already WRs for:
pull-ups: Stephen Hyland (GBR, 2009), 493 dead hang chins in 30 minutes
burpees: 15 min: 470, 19 Feb 1992, Stocks, Birmingham WR
HSPUs: Mako Sakomoto (1960s), 163 consecutive full range freestanding handstand pushups on parallel bars
double-unders: Can't find this one because double-unders are a @F focus; nobody that trains with a rope starts with this. Anybody old school boxer or wrestler can beat the shit out of the best @F jumper. Start with Mayweather.

Back on the food quality post from Robb Wolf another comment from him -

Chef-
Good word and thank you. I HOPE HQ sees that food quality matters. They have not embraced that linear progression is beneficial for building stronger athletes. Stronger athletes dominate CrossFit….and limit singles are not the best/only way to get there…

Nice, considering the Back Squat singles put up by HQ today.

Gin Master, had to steal the records thingy and post it on @fit. See if it stirs up anything.

If your gym / "fitness center" isn't smart enough to invest in an oly platform, don't feel bad about the floor

Decided to hop on their forums today for a bit. The arrogance (and stupidity) of most of them is absolutely incredible.

I can't find where you posted it over there.

Community thread under World records topic.

No problem. I hope it sparks something. Say goodbye to your sock puppet.

Holy shit, where is this?

If they videotape the attempts at this, they could singlehandidly put America's Funniest Home Videos out of business. Jackasses faceplanting into tires = EPIC WIN.

@Fers can't jump like real athletes...



Over and done. Can't @Fers get it through their head that their training isn't geared towards being able to set records in anything, other than in the rate of inducing chronic fatigue, injuries, and delusions of grandeur?

No I have been playing nice and even did 2 WOD's The not stipid ones - singles deads and squats. I even offered helpful advice once or twice

Got it. I rarely navigate from fitness or exercises over there.

He might be being sarcastic, he might not be.


This reply to his was pretty good:

I can't decide if I would beat the **** out of you with a wooden bat, my bare hands, or an Eleiko bar (since it has a good warranty) if you did that in my place.

While you probably can't lift anything heavy enough to damage a tile floor if dropped, crapping on somebody's equipment and facilities is poor form. Arrogant, entitled *******es like you make it harder for other CFers to train in main stream gyms.

Not everyone there is completely retarted.

Singles are a great way to build strength, but Cultfit HQ even managed to fuck that up b/c just yesterday, all the Cultfitters smoked their quads ("as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes" of a circuit including either 15 squats or 10 pistols). Doing limit singles today with pre-exhausted legs is sabotaging their attempt to improve limit strength.

If you want to keep your hate strong then by all means visit the Cultfit forums.

But I must warn you my friends that the stupidity will over power your higher brain functions.

When I gave up on the forums my anger level dropped significantly and when I quit visiting the main page and limited myself to a few Cultfit sites that actually have some sense my anger level very nearly bottomed out.

The latest examples of CrossFit excellence:




One trains at CrossFit Compton, the other trains at CrossFit One Crackpipe.

Just IMAGINE how much higher they could jump...ON CROSSFIT!

It would first take 5 years to break them down, but then just IMAGINE!

Holy shit the second guy did that shit in fucking slip ons.

I've gotta start training hard again.

I doubt I could hit a 36" box with out some serious injury now days.

Check it out -- recently we, at CFLA, were visited by Leyon and his brother Leroy. They were both collegiate football players and are currently training to be heavyweight boxers. They train in a gym almost 6 hours every day. This is a video of their FIRST ever CrossFit workout, and then Andy and Jonesy's effort at the same workout a few days later. For them, simply getting through the workout was an accomplishment... lets just say that they severely underestimated CrossFit!

Thread is shit (apparently they did the Crossfit workout AFTER 4 hours of boxing training?), except for Pendlay's reply:

They are training for boxing? Wonder what would happen if you boxed with them? just askin'

and, just for the record, never ever want to get crossways with a boxer... yes i am a wussy when it comes to people hitting me, I just dont like it.

It's unfortunate that people don't realize that a 41" or 45" or 50" box jump doesn't equate to a 41", 45", or 50" vertical leap. Two completely different ball games.

Of course, that post is from Gant Grimes. Guys like him and Jay Cohen really have nothing in common with the CrossFit ideology anymore.


No new growth in the RRG since yesterday.

Gayest thing I have seen for a while. No funny captions needed because the original is such a fucking joke. I love the guys whose only problem with this design is that it has too many colors to print a shirt with.
