I want to keep getting, stronger, faster, better, more fit all that jazz but how can i when i am constantly injured? Got to a doctor for my wrist, go do ART for my back, stretch more, foam roll... I do what i can, i could do more, I dont have health ins so no doctor, but I shouldnt even be needing to go to a doctor for a training injury? Training for what? To be better at training for the sake of training? Man it s a good thing no one reads this stuff, they would be convinced i was totally over it which Im not, im just frustrated with being injured having injuries stack up on top of each other and not feeling like I can make any progress because of these injuries.

Funny shit here!

Joc Olfiting.jpg
She is so fine and thick in all the right places
A walker not just a talker.

C&J- 191lbs/86.8kg
Snatch- 148lbs/67.2kg- 4lbs over body weight
Split Jerk- 205lbs/93.1kg
Rack Jerk- 223lbs/101.3kg
F.Squat- 235lbs/106.8kg
B.Squat-240lbs/109kg
OH Squat-173lbs/78.6kg
Deadlift- 325lbs/ 147.7kg

Squat pic is 120 kgs according to her.

Like most @fitters who are strong brought her strength with her from college sport training.

Still caught up in Paleo, "120kg Squat= Paleo+Linear Progression+Good Coaching+Shear Bad Ass Ness "

If Glassman had ever done the work to get a paper published, he'd know what the place of peer review is. Those of us who actually work in scientific endeavors are familiar with the benefits and weaknesses of peer review.

What happened to those faggots solving shit through "competition, not debate"?

Things will be solved through "competition" this year. The whole preliminary regional/sectional bullshit is to eliminate non-crossfitters from the Games. The application process asks what the participants "bests" are in various lifts. Since each venue can pick and choose what the events are, there will be things chosen to "favor" some and make things more "difficult" for others.

@F has always been known for stacking the deck in their own athletes' favor. In the first Gaymes, certain choice people learned of the competed exercises something like a week ahead of everyone else.

It's really not fair that Jag's putting the hurt on Puss Greene and Jason Twat-skin. It's like putting Gallagher in a room with two watermelons, you know those fruits are going to get their heads smashed in repeatedly.

Apparently keeping one hand on Daniel's back, next to the gin bottle, qualifies as a gymnastics move.

Speaking elite badassness...check out this amazing shit:

The best part is the comments:
Chad Cilli - 365? Nice
Brad Miles - Actually 335lbs. thanks
Chad Cilli - Those are some thick 10 pounders. That's a damn good lift!
Russ Greene - This is a badass picture.
Hey Brad...your max isn't even quite to the top of my warmup sets. So much for "your workout is our warmup." Elite, indeed.

I could be wrong but I think that is a ladies' bar. Something inherently wrong with going for a max on such a thing.

80% pass is just within the 20% slop. Pass indeed.

Loads of information about what "core strength" means. OK, it's actually a couple of minutes of patent nonsense. But there is a cool stick figure at the end.

Preach it, my leader.
LO fucking L at the video. Anyone notice the totally rad, unused, bikes hanging in the garage?
Also, looks like couch just woke up and sounds like he has a cold. :-k
