Let's be honest, Jez, the bar is more likely to blow away in a stiff breeze than crush her.

Is it meat substitute, as in a macburger?
It's basically thinly sliced turkey balogna. It's pretty meh, IMO.

One of the butchers at the farmer's market here makes a beef bacon. it's basically smoked brisket that's sliced bacon thin. Very lean, and very yummy.

At least it isn't PVC.

I felt kind of gay today at work when I was handling a section of PVC. I walked about 75 yards with it across my shoulders to put it away in a rack.

$5k should cover the Anavar for an elite @Fer for a year, right? Plus STD treatments, of coarse...

Just look at the first comment on that:
As cool as that is, there won't be a single competitor there for that prize money. It's for something else, and that something else is what drives me to get better every day.
Yeah.....right. I am sure 5 grand will be the last thing on the minds of those gunning for the first place position.

It kind of makes me want to just enter the games some time to see how I do. You know, some kind of WTH effect of doing heavy, basic exercises mixed in with some running and kettlebell long cycle workouts for some cardio work. I would bet money I would destroy most of those fuckers over there.



Also, let us not forget about the latest development on the shitfit boards:

Stretching is just too simple for the retards. Maybe they will have a cert for this one too.

The CrossFit Bikram cert, no doubt. It'll be a hit - you can get two cults for the price of one! \


Joe, I'm really not bothered or worked up by anything. I'm generally a pretty calm guy nowadays.

The prizes have been announced for the 2009 CrossFit Games! The amazing field of competitors from around the world will be competing for the title of "Fittest Person on Earth" as well as a few more rewards.
According to whom?

If it was a 6000x100mm sewer pipe section ("whippy thick bar") , that is deemed acceptable in the trade - and not gay. But maybe not use terms such as handling when it comes to pvc?

Nope. It was about 3 meters long and about 3 centimeters thick. I also had almost this irresistable urge to squat it, maybe even overhead squat it as well. I restrained myself for fear of looking stupid to people that might see.

I started to reply, but I'm too angry to properly hate this after reading the comments. These people don't fucking get it. @F is not a sport. You are not the fittest people on earth. The Gaymes winner may not be the fittest slapdick in @F. Nobody wants to watch your stupid shit on TV.

Gin Man, let me give you some fuel for your fire...

Start Here: An Introduction to the CrossFit Games

What are the CrossFit Games?

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling two-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is almost completely a mystery.

In 2009, the format is still a complete mystery.
...
We define this fitness as increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. What this means is that you have functional capacity in all different types of movements at a variety of durations of effort. If you are increasing this broad work capacity, you will be competent at both short bursts of activity and extended, longer workouts. No single test can adequately assess these broad capacities. Even our rigorous two-day CrossFit Games can assess but a small portion of anyone's true capacity.

But, it is our considered opinion that the CrossFit Games are the best test on the planet for true, elite fitness, and that the winners of the CrossFit Games are the World's Fittest humans.
And everyone knows that to be teh gheyest at the Gaymes, men should prepare by training in sleeveless half-shirts. Seriously.

Am I the only one that noticed a complete lack of full hip function on those cleans near the beginning? I'd have sex with the girl though.

LMFAO!

By their own calculations, I'm pretty sure this un-elite human just moved more weight across more time than the entire group of Gaymers do in an entire 2 day weekend.

Five seconds into that video, they show Jen, and I'm like, "Okay, okay. Sleeveless half-shirt. It's another one of those CrossFit chickdude jokes." Then they show Jerome.

What the fuck?

I'm gonna make my own workout vid of me banging chicks while wearing a 40# weight vest. Then I'll cut to a shot of me curling a stack of hundred dollar bills. Then slow-mo out-of-focus shot of my abs. Then cut to closeup action shot of me doing pushups while sniffing lines of blow from a stripper's tits on each eccentric. Then close on a shot of me kissing my biceps.

It's gonna be awesome.

That girl is kind of doing a donkey kick on those cleans.

That guy is kind of wearing the gayest shit imaginable. Knee high socks and a half shirt?

Pretty solid video production, though. If it was something other than @Fit I might have gotten excited about it.

It's all about the Abz.

You better all check yourselves, @FT H.E.L. means bidness. What does H.E.L. stand for, Gin Master? I'm glad you asked.
To evolve the individual, physically and mentally, and infuse them with discipline, fortitude, and humility so that they personify the highest ideals of integrity, strength, and courage and stand as equals in a family of warriors.

CrossFit Human Evolution Labs is a fitness training community dedicated to the identification and development elite athleticism, superior mental fortitude, and an indomitable spirit - the characteristics of a warrior.

At CFHEL, training is the means rather than the ends. We follow the CrossFit methodology as a means to train the body and the mind, but we do not train simply for the sake of training. We are dedicated to developing warriors who, by definition, are athletes. Not all athletes are warriors, however. CFHEL uses elite fitness methodology to imbue discipline, fortitude, courage, and humilty so that our family can rightfully be considered a part of the warrior class - individuals who control their own destiny and take responsibility for their actions, who serve their community through force of action and will, and refuse to surrender (quit) despite the odds.

The training staff at CFHEL is of the highest caliber. Their objective is to deliver the highest amount of service and leadership to the CFHEL family. Our coaches are, at a minimum, CrossFit Level 1 Coaches who are personally interested in the successes of each athlete. Our training staff undergoes constant continuing education creating a knowledge-rich environment. You will not find a more committed group of athletic trainers anywhere else.

BE IT KNOWN - CrossFit HEL is a training facility for individuals who have proven themselves members of the warrior class. Due to the nature of our training, our membership is limited to those who can pass Boot Camp. For more information on the membership process, click here. The training you will find at CFHEL relative to the training that takes place in your local 24-hour or LA Fitness is like comparing NASCAR to Student Driver Education. We train to perform at an elite level and therefore must undergo some preliminary training before engaging in high-intensity workouts. Our membership process is open to all, our membership team is reserved to warriors.

CrossFit Human Evolution Labs has no peer. We are unique.
Does every fitness copywriter have a Chuck Palahniuk starter kit? I'm going to choke somebody the next time I have to read crap like this.

At least they cleared up one thing; Jerome didn't get that physique power jerking 60kg. @F Lab, indeed.
