Aren't these guys football players ? http://www.crossfitpia4sranch.com/

Maybe this has something to do with Welborn taking off.

Mckenzie is a good guy. He deserves any money that he's requesting. cF just doesn't like to pay out people that help them. Same as DD.

OMG these are fucking priceless...just a few responses to Morgan's KING KONG on youtube.

Very impressive. He made 275# cleans look easy. But I must say, in a Crossfit competition the time would not have counted. He did not stand all the way up in the cleans and the muscle-ups were not at full extension. Regardless, that performance is incredible.

definately an impressive job with that workout... but KING KONG is not a CrossFit benchmark workout... its not even a standard/main site workout... i would like to see some of his times on workouts that don't favor a former Olympic weightlifter... "Nasty Girls" "Murph" "Fran" "FGB" "Cindy" match his times and scores to Crossfit then and see how his strength, endurance, skill work hold up... i just dont like people bad mouthing crossfit b/c an olympian crushed a workout stacked in his favor

super time and brilliant lifting. Would like to see a fran or a murph though!

These morons are criticizing his form and saying the time wouldn't count at the gaymes...fucking delusional. Guess he'll just have to live with his memories of the OLYMPICS.

from Dave Tate in an old article "My guys can get a fuck of a lot closer to what thos guys (CF) do than they can get to what we do" I gotta agree. I watched a BB do fran with a douche fitter and he was tossing up thrusters like a warm up set and did dead hang pull ups (vs butterfly) and the times were like 7+ for BB and 5 for CF. the bodybuilder had a 485 bench and a 380 squat vs. 185 bench and 240 squat ?

That is actually a valuable point. Years ago, one of our distance runners was mouthing off that "we work harder than anyone else." Coach Lualhati just broke him down pointing out that running five miles in the morning is not the same as snatching 260. One can easily match a "good" runners workout in just a few years, but to deadlift a "good" national level meet is simply stunning. Going from strength focused sport to endurance stuff has to be miles easier than going from endurance to high end power work. I work with top level guys in some sports that do lifts that, honestly, freshman boys make on a regular basis. I have a non-elite 14 year old freshman who power cleaned 175 easily today, yet I deal with men who can't pull that much at a greater body weight, but dominate local and regional events in sports.

Working "hard," or the perception of working hard, doesn't really mean anything. Sweating, vomiting, and breathing hard could be a good workout or a tropical disease kicking in.

Dan, I hope you dont mind but I stole that and posted it on the @fit forum in the Starting forum titled "the time has come to end this"

I totally agree with what you and Dan are saying regarding the transition from strength based training to endurance based training.

Back when I was training for my PT for the police dept. I went from not even being able to complete a 1.5 mile run to getting sub 9:30 times on a regular basis in the matter of a couple of months.

Not elite level stuff I know but I hadn't done any endurance training for years at that point.

Crossfit. It conjures up many images for me , none of them good. After my experiment with this workout and community I have come to realize its not for me. I am neither bigger, faster or stronger than when I started. I know I will come back with proper programing and heavy weights though.
These moronic things you call workouts seem to be designed by an idiot. Granted there are affiliates doing thier own thing and some are good, some arent.
This community and board seem to be filled with bored housewives and desk jockeys. The insane drivel that gets posted here is nauseating. The injury section alone is reason enough to avoid crossfit. The Koolaid cult will survive for a while longer, while I will go my way and train properly and continue to progress safely.

Narcissistic obsession with 'leanness' is exactly the same thing as *****boy bodybuilders worrying about muscle size and preening in front of the mirror. A casual observer of this forum would think that instead of 'Nutrition and Health', the title was 'Low Carb Dieting and Visible Abdominals'. Skinny does not equal healthy, you bunch of wasp-waisted weak sisters. Function is what matters, not some Weideresque cookie cutter appearance ideal forced down our throats by some New York ad agency ****ants who have attended more aerobics classes than I've had bowel movements.

Anyone who spends a lot of time thinking about their cuts or bodyfat levels has something wrong with their heads. If you own a set of calipers, seek professional help. Or better yet, have a bananna and chill the F&%k out. Next time you see that roid-bloated mass of sarcoplasmic hypertrophy that we all look down on at the gym, tell him he looks a little fatter than normal. If he reacts the same way you would, you're the same guy.

Brian Mackenzie (CFE head douche) owns the @FFB and @F Balboa domain names.

Story is he's extorting money from Welbourn for both of them. Seems he's pissed about being left out of the new Paleo Brands business and wants more $$ from the involved parties.

No one would ever accuse any of the @Fers about being money-hungry, though, would they?

Rip leaving the fold, internal conflicts between the @F splinter groups, what's next? The @F implosion will *not* be televised...

Football is back up...with a snarky reference to a story about cybersquatting.

CultBuster wrote:I have surplass hate for Tony Pudding and Dave Castrate equally. The true reason I train is to get hard enough to rip Tony's head off and shove it up Dave's ass. My hate for them could start a religion! At least B-boi had the stones to leave the fold. He was killing it with Blaur and Couch had to come and make nice so they could sell certs all year on the East.

Brother! Douchiness aside, BBoi did was trade a late model ride in for a new one and hook up with a legit dude. He's got a nice piece of trim, a good store of anabolics, and access to all the training at Blauer's he can handle. One could do worse.

There isn't near enough hate dished out for the two faggots. Mainpage programming and the @F Journal is overseen by Butting. For all practical purposes, he is the face of @F. Not only is he a douchebag, he is a weak performer of subpar intelligence. Pudding brags that he spent six months in total silence or some stupid shit.

Castro coordinates the logistics of the operation. He's such an asshole he is no longer allowed to communicate with the gurus. He just keeps the Level I money trains flowing.

What an awesome couch.

Bony Pudding and Nicolavar are putting the squeeze on the more independent affiliates holding specialized certs, in an apparent attempt to get some more money for themselves at Couch HQ. Or so I hear.

Rip's probably not the only 'specialist' who will go away. I do hear that Burgener is very pleased with what being affiliated with XF has done for him.

Oh jeezus, the only way this douche shouldn't be embarrassed is he if just had both legs replaced.

So that's what an Forging Elite Fitness is like, BRO!

Oh come on guys! He's showing how NOT to do a clean...right? I mean, with all the "fake" strain on his face and the @Fit coach studioulsy watching....

Yeah, but he used lifting straps and that's so not funk-shun-al. </sarcasm>

Plus he's too slow...
If he halved the weight and went 3x faster, he'd have achieved way more...

That's an advanced move called "the wrist breaker."

I also noticed he only did one. Aren't you supposed to do like 75 of them in a row to achieve greatness?

Show us the @fitter who can clean and jerk 125kg 75 times. If she exists, she must be quite a lady.

obviously only 19% or the couch would have intervened. duh.
