My hate for Barry grows daily. This guy claims to be an affiliate - yet he owns NO BUSINESS. Yet he runs a blogspot page advertising himself as a legit business owner that will come train you at your house. Come on man.

You own no business.
You never post anything but on the rest days.

Who have you trained? Let alone how many athletes have you trained? To the local level? State, regional level?

That is some strong work on the snowballangel blog there, bravo!

If she is smart she will ride this notoriety into the HQ fold, as the community rallies to support her through this trying time.

After all the crossfit community is like that, all supportive and stuff.

I suspect it will all be short lived though...If I recall it's only thin veneer of sexiness, there is not much to back it up.

Not shocked that Couch has finally responded to pound another nail in the Robb Wolf coffin. What a douche.

http://www.crossfit.com/cf-affiliates/2 ... 91207.html
Let me share a difference between a bit of scientific fact and applied clinical knowledge.

Dr. Sears, when asked about sodium intake, offered that sodium retention was governed by aldosterone and that aldosterone was controlled in turn by insulin, which is ultimately controlled by carbohydrate intake.

I asked later who knew what to do if a client found herself very dizzy on standing days after being put "in the Zone". Nobody knew. The answer is/was "get her to salt her food and see if it goes away".

Same mechanism. One clinical knowledge the other not. We need a cert based on successful clinical experience.

Our old cert was sketchy on science, at best, and entirely bereft of clinical knowledge/experience.

It's entirely my fault. We're fixing it.

Are refunds being issued for those past "faulty" nutrition certs??

And, what's this?? I thought Casstro said personal attacks weren't useful.

I'm confused too. Brother asstro led me to believe that all diets were equally good and could be included within the ever expanding definition of @ssFist.

Didn't you know? Cultfit is now being based more on "clinical" data rather than "on the ground" experience.

My thoughts exactly. Afterall, he is a "Doctor." :vom:

BTW, nice work on the snowangel comments. I laughed so hard, I was running out of breath. Sort of like Barry Cooper after walking to the cupboard for another pull off the Jim Beam bottle.

With that said, I find crossfit strength bias eerily similar to Jim Wendler's 5/3/1. The "waves" are packed into 1 week, and front squat or something is used instead of bench press. The loading intervals between sets are more aggressive though, and they expect you to PR EVERY WEEK.

A lot of assfisters probably actually do PR every week as a result of lifting fucking weights.

Well, that's good. When can we expect the peer review? :-"

Man, I could do that Snow Angel shit every day. That was good stuff. I think must've made 25 posts or so over there. Good activity for an off day from work.

This will be my place to rave about achievements and vent about anything that happens to be frustrating me at the time. Hopefully by talking about Crossfit on here I can tone it down a bit around my friends (who think I've joined a cult!)

I'd love to see the look on snow angel's face when she sees 60 new comments on her old blog post. Nice work.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound like an arrogant prick, but I feel so much better about my own pathetic power and squat cleans after watching that clip. And I truly feel mine suck; but they suck less now in comparison. <<<<q
