I support this. Anyone who combines casual semi-nudity with being female is laudable. I may be falling in love.

There used to be a great divide between practical training and stupid human tricks.

Crossfit and Gimmick-Style training in general has done much to both shorten that divide and build a bridge across it.

They got the first part right. But they had to get that little dig in, didn't they? Who cares? That's like telling Usain Bolt, 'hey I'll never run faster than you, but you'll never run faster than me while balancing an egg on a PVC pipe.'

Not only is that second clause completely ridiculous, but it's not even true. The sub-3 minute Fran is a joke compared to an actual athletic accomplishment that takes years of training like the 1000# squat. I can tell you from having done well under 3:00 on the Fran that it does not represent elite anything, and it's not even that hard to develop. Konstantinovs can bang out 55 kipping pullups in a row, and I'm sure he can toss 95# like it's straw. Add a little bit of cardio and he could do it, no problem. Not that he would care to.
What those cuntfit fucks selectively ignore is that through proper training, I'd be willing to bet any top level lifter could achieve elite cuntfit numbers at whatever the fuck it is they do. The reverse is NOT true.

you don't even need to be a top level lifter, just have a DECENT strength background. Jason Khalipa won their gaymes in 2008 and everyone looked at the kid like he was a god for having a 480lb dead and a near BW snatch. Wow - who'da fucking thunk it?! Being strong actually helps.

I think it was Dave Tate who said(in reference to Crossfit) "We can train to do what they do, but they can't train to do what we do."

according to the drunken master couch, Tate is wrong:

Exactly. Here is what one of the sheep had to say about the couch not doing ANY workouts:
The embarrassing thing for all of these haters on here is that, over the course of CrossFit.com's existence, there have been multiple pictures of Coach performing gymnastics movements that most on here will never be able to perform.
Of course, a Google Image Search reveals none of this multiple pictures of the couch doing anything remotely athletic.

I have never, ever, seen a pic of couch doing any exercise except holding up a bicycle.

This includes ALL of the early XF Journals.

The moobs, beer gut, forearm atrophy, chicken legs etc. that couch displays are clearly the result of superior programming.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I want to see more @fitters. I'd much rather have to fight some limp wristed faggot @fitter in the parking lot of my local bar rather than some juiced up meathead who trains like the Power Midget. Now I don't know if I feel the same way about their women.

The lack of pics of Couch doing gymnastics (or anything else) have been a regular talking point on this thread since the beginning.

Where are all these pics then that Douchewimple is bragging about? Also how long has This guy been doing @fit?

I'm not kidding. I've been with XF.com almost since it's debut online, and never, ever seen a pic of Glassman doing anything but lecturing, or looking drunk, horny and smug.

From a 2003 WOD posting.

I think I've seen one other picture of him doing a front lever. I've never seen anything else. Who knows how long, if at all, those positions were held.

OK, I stand corrected. There he is doing a front and a rear lever, moves that I've seen a 220lb strongman do the first time he tried.
