This has a good..."sure I will talk to you but you have to follow me, because I have something more important to do" undercurrent.

lol

Josh is an animal and seems to be a really nice guy.

Anyone know if there are any 200+ pound guys at the games this year?

I don't give a fuck who is playing in the gaymes.

I'll admit though that the gaymes are a clever creation by the old drunk. They take attention off the fact that X-shit hasn't developed any real athletes. Every dipshit remotely involved in X-shit is training for the gaymes. When do they have time to train all of their make-believe world champions and gold medalists? X-shit used to boast that they had created so many champions but when no names were available, they suddenly had their own gayme to play. If you suck at every other sport, it only makes sense to make up your own.

Real coaches train real athletes, and real athletes don't fuck themselves up in the gym playing with pvc.

Cooch is never going to admit that the infamous ring injury was a 1989 session at Burger king that ended up with cooch in the hospital with a colostomy bag. After 743 onion rings and a quart of Safeway gin your guts would pop too!

Ahem.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS The New Film by Sevan Matossian and Carey Peterson About the Extreme World of CrossFit Training-The Phenomenon that has taken the Fitness World by Storm!

"Meet the fittest people on the planet as they train for the 2009 CrossFit Games. The events are so challenging and so demanding that even the greatest Olympic Athletes would struggle to complete the first day. Professional athletes shudder at the thought of such a grueling and all encompassing test of fitness. The drama unfolds as the planets greatest athletes train and then come together for the greatest test of physical strength and stamina in modern times."

Painful to watch, hard to imagine imprinting that kind of jerk form on such a young athlete only for the sake of doing "adult" weights and getting a video on the main site. He's lucky he didn't drop the weight on his head like that girl in the Gaymes did.

Hahah.

Yeah, because professional athletes know what side of the line their bread and butter is.

2 days at the Crossfit games would probably undo 12 weeks of intelligent programming and planning for their competitive season.

My arms are swollen

So after completing last weeks Thursday and Friday WOD my arms were super sore and then started to swell on Sunday afternoon.

I have always been an athlete, kept in good shape and am fairly strong for a girl. I obviously over did it... What can help with the reduction of the swell ASAP. I hate having ballons for arms

All I know is I once looked at Eva and it shriveled my swollen muscle instantaneously.

=D> So true.

It's funny to think that he probably wants to do push jerks like the big @F boys do because of their faster turnover (and higher werk capacitee!!!)...when at the rate he was going, a normal split jerk would have served the purpose just as well (and not trained really poor form in the meantime) and his foot position catching the push jerk wouldn't be resembling those of a HS freshman just learning a power clean.

Sad to think, that form is from the son of the head of @F Kids. Pyur vertchewosity there.

The CrossFit Games are like the Special Olympics, only with less pity.

He was close to doing a split. Mitch Blackburn would kick his ass.

Comparing Mitch to the @f kids is an insult to Mitch. Come to think if it, comparing Mitch the 'adult" population of @f is an insult to Mitch.

I disagree. This thread is Exhibit A in defense of the contrary. Also: a lot more scorn.

It's not about being strong, it's about being FIT. Who fucking cares if there are women of the same age and half the weight that could beat (or at least come close) to your numbers.

What's with the wrist straps?

Patrick Donnelly wrote:What's with the wrist straps?

I'm pretty sure they are the wrist strap part of these: http://www.newgrip.com/

I first saw them on this guy, wondering what the hell they were:

Coincidentally, some article I read around the same time led me to the New Grip website.

If these help prevent callus-ripping stupidity, one has to wonder if they will be banned from all OFFICIAL @F competition...

Watch...after this post there could be an update on the Gaymes page about them being illegal...you might have just heard it here first, folks.

There will be a day of reckoning where only the "functionally fit" will be saved. There will be monsoons followed by fires, and space aliens will come to town riding on the backs of dinosaurs. It will be on that day that the rest of us will wish we'd spent more time mastering PVC, wall balls and kipping palm tears. The strong will be vanquished. Only those who accept the CF Journal as the word of our true savior will live to tell.

You are on the wrong path. Confess your sins. Repent. Do 5 rounds of 25 sumo high pulls for time and let Couch fondle you and you will be forgiven.

Kipping pull-ups all of a sudden seem so less "functional" once you need grips to do them.

It seems as if the guy in the background might be wearing gymnastics grips too. I hope not. That'd be a retarded way to protect the hands... The best way would be to simply avoid kipping like a chimpanzee on meth. The next best way would be to just use tape.

Maybe they protect him from ripping out his belly button and nipple rings...

Wouldn't the whole kipping pull-up callous issue be solved by just wrapping a towel around the bar?

Looks like a tape grip on the guy in the back. I have a wad of those in my gym bag, nice for covering rips. http://crossfitvirtuosity.com/blogs/art ... you-part-3
