How do you row on a C2 when your hands are all kinds of fucked up?

Hold the handle like a pansy, of course:

Thank you WGM.

That topped the hate tank off for the day. Stupid fucking faggots.

I fucked my hands up doing way too many half snatches a week or so ago and was fucking pissed off at myself because it was going to cost me training time. And these faggots think it's cool.

But they are E-LEET!

Motherfuckers!

Like this thread, just stale old shit and reposts of reposts.
This sums it up. This thread has lost its vigor. I can't read through most comments without wanting to vomit. We have way too many ex-@fit weak performers these days. We need to thin the herd.

I've gotten there as well. There's too little dissection and destruction of all the bullshit fallacies that @Fers, as a whole, hold dear, and too much hoo rah-ing about fit, little tittied women and the douchebags who stalk them.

Andro Friday has grown to be an insipid exercise in endurance.

No hate, just tepid tolerance.

Fuck @Fit.

Hell, Fuck the couch thread.

Well fuck, what have either of you done lately to post otherwise?

Fuckers post here with dazzling tidbits about @fit HQ losing it's AZ licence for not filing tax returns, and nobody follows up with it.

Some other fuckers post about franchise issues, but like the weather nobody seems to be able to do anything about it.

Further, many fuckers keep asking "What's going on with the RRG?" and nobody has any fresh news.

Is the wikiwar still in stalemate? Nobody's updated us.

Thing is, like many unpleasant things in life, the garden variety dumbassery of @fitters is something we've all gotten inured to. It just doesn't fire us up the way it used to. Grandpa Gorilla used to say "a man can get used to anything except hanging."

Is this how it will end? Will @fit die out with a whimper, instead of the bang we're all hoping for?

All you fuckers who make proud but oblique references to your inside sources need to work harder to dish the dirt for those of us who are on the outside looking in.

That's the thing about @fit dumbassery, is that it's ubiquitous. It's neither funny or remarkable to see a picture of an @fitter doing something that's in equal parts retarded, mechanically unsound, and using a pussy weight: It's the status quo.

Image


And they know it, too. You'll note that they don't really talk about virtuosity anymore: now it's all about slop in pursuit of intensity.

Parodying @fit is one modal domain that they do better themselves than we do.

This. While Andro Friday and drinking from the bottomless well of @fit idiocy are merely fillers while we wait for the juicy bits from those in the know, why is that a bad thing? Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see how anyone could ever tire of laughing at shit like this:

or this:



or, in the emerging @fit trend of adding bands to everything because Louie Simmons uses them with people who are actually strong, this:

or using a 95 pound barbell to simulate carrying a cross through 14 stations in 'The Jesus WOD'...

My thirst will never be slaked as long as @fit continues on its current path. :drinkers:

+1. This thread used to fall to the second page all the time. Nobody lets it sit for 15 minutes any more.

In my limited defense, I was posting some older classics to get shit moving. I have limited access to any good info. VaBeach went nowhere! Coach bough those assholes a gym, fucking over everyone in the process and no one cares. RRG money is gone and no one is insured and no one cares. Idiots who are just plain fucking weak are adding bands to deadlifts, when they still need to add iron and no one gives a shit. The one thing in looking at old coach posts is that he will directly contradict what is going on now, but again no one cares. "Quality rises to the top" but he inserts himself in affiliate vs. affiliate business when his "boy" is losing. Fuck couch, fuck astro and boney..fuck @fit
Not only that, we don't go heavy often enough (maybe only 3 times per week) for the body to change into a bulky, fat monster without some type of artificial enhancement via steroid use. The other way to get big and bulky is by lifting heavy and then topping off that heavy lifting by eating like crap and lounging around in front of the TV, or spending too much time posting on various message boards, or Facebooking hours on end instead of training hard with metcon workouts in conjunction with the heavy days.

a couple of you guys need to go undercover, joining an x-fit gym, attending certs, and returning with inside info. if you're not old, fat, and ugly (like shaf, for example), you'll get it wet regularly, which seems fair compensation for the assignment.

Yup. Andro Friday is that joke the was funny the first time you heard it, still amusing the next couple times and then everyone you know had to tell it for months on end. Fuck, now dudes are posting the shit all week, "it's Friday somewhere!"
I say can the androgirlman shit, or if not, keep it to the gorilla only as it's his baby anyway. All the fucking newbs keep posting shit he posted WAAAY in the past. We need to get back on the hate.

2) This is the most interesting cult I know of. Maybe the thread is lost in the weeds, but I'll never lose interest in these fuckers and their better andro broads.

C'mon Gary, on one hand you say the thread is dying, on the other you have info like this?

Please discuss as soon as you are able. This is a major raison d'etre for this thread!

I dig Andro Friday.

The newbs are alright even if their enthusiasm is a bit misplaced, they are only trying to please.

My hate is still strong it's just more well tempered.
