We have 3 now at the gym. I was wearing my vibrams and swinging a 'bell around so obviously he thought I was kindred, he didn't notice I was doing skillful work with no slop.

Seriously, I'm just fucking sick of arguing about it. Weak, skinny @Fers seem to breed like maggots on the corpse of legit S&C principles.

I hear that, I am just about up to here with @fit as well.

Its a marketing juggernaut and clueless people who think they are getting a great workout by working themselves to the bone constantly while trainers don't correct bad form, encourage speed over technical precision and who think laying on the floor looking like they just got hit by a truck is the end to a solid workout.

I am ashamed of myself for ever doing it, encouraging it and taking part in it... I should have known better and I regret it.

Now we are seeing sports teams use CF to get ready for the season??? For an untrained HS kid that may work short-term but it will do more harm than good in the long term.

Things were much simpler when we lifted to get strong and ran to get in shape.

Yeah, that Connor Martin has supposedly done CrossFit for years since he was 14 or something like that. Apparently it's not enough because he didn't make the CF games when he tried to qualify.

All those people who keep saying "oh just wait until real CF athletes start doing this from a young age, wait until they dominate everyone" -- yeah, right.

Wasn't there a girl who was the same age as him that also didn't make it in and had basically the same amount of years doing @F?

It's great when they use anecdotal evidence to support their claims, but when someone fails (repeatedly sometimes) - it's never the fucking programs fault.

Oh, Kallista Pappas, I think. She'd be doing CF for awhile, and I guess nothing came out of it.

From Mayor McCheeze's I-R-SKEERED site http://www.iamunscared.com/the-murphy-c ... es-part-3/:

Last week was just too busy for all of us so TJ decided to meet me up in San Francisco for a 1/2 day clinic at SFCF. TJ has already met with Kell, and obviously been training with me. Quick recap. He walked into SFCF limping after I explained to him this is where he needed to start in order for us to start training. He walked out normally after seeing one Doc Starrettski in one session. Kell had him squat and did a few other black magic “tricks” and TJ was ready to come see me. Obviously it was a little more intricate than that, and TJ is writing about all of it… Just know, we teach “BLACK MAGIC”.

Since CFE can't back up their claims of eliteness, they now will stand on being MAGIKAL to entice the masses.

What the hell do you expect when you wear gloves on your feet ?

Elite respect.

So I'm sitting in Starbucks, post workout, and a customer from the restaurant where i work comes in, either headed to or from the gym. I'm logging my workout, and she says, "What are you doing?"
Conversation leads to the fact that her daughters boyfriend is trying to get her to try @fit.
showed her my computer screen, wrote down the web address, and she may be here later to get the dirt on crossfit. I told her that Irongarm is responsible for educating the masses about the gin soaked couch, and warned her that it borders on pornographic. (That was a bit understated!)
Hopefully, I'm doing my bit to prevent another needless injury.

And, I just thought I'd mention, the closest affiliate to me just moved into a bigger space. One of the owners mentioned to me that they train with a strength bias, so maybe they are one of those affiliates that calls themselves crossfit without actually crossfitting.

It's funny how flat rejection of Crossfit's founding principles is still considered "Crossfit."

I have not posted on the couch thread in many months out of a general disgust for the lack of venom. It seems as if things got soft and couch thread became more about hoping @fit fails instead of working to unhinge the machine with unbridled hate. But after reading Shaf's comments I could no longer lurk.

5 feet lengths of PVC, weak insects proclaiming eliteness, facebook narcissism and fucking vibrams are the @fit calling card. If you wear them and do not look like Jesus Christ w/ full blown AIDS, morons will assumed you are an @fitter, approach you and ask what make of board shorts you are wearing, bro.

Fuck, I even saw Jay sporting them on facebook. I would like to drive up to Cleveland and throw rocks at him from the parking lot of the nearest @fit gym.

I have less problems with @fitters mistaking seizures for workouts, then the 6 foot tall, 145 lbs RKC certified instructor that showed up to train this weekend. I hope he gets leukemia and dies tomorrow as punishment for that big a weak cunt.

The couch thread has lost its way. It remind me of the thread my ex-girlfriends stated a few years on DumbSlut.com back talking about what an asshole I am, how I cheated on them, treated them bad and how they would get even...blah...blah...blah. It became a daily log of my exploits and was more about celebrating my conquests then trying to ruin me and only added to my hero status.

This thread is what is keeping CrossFit alive. I hope this thread gets leukemia and dies.

This is the end of my lurking.

Yes, I own vibrams... so does Jason Pegg, JL Holdsworth and a dude here with a 2100 total. Doubt if anyone is going to confuse my 270# ass for a bar-swinging, burpee-laying @fitter though.

Yes, they are confusing you with @fit b/c they do not know any better. And if that 2100 total is geared then they will assume a 165 or 181 lbs guy that lifts weights, wearing vibrams does @fit.

Wait, is Shaf no longer a power bear?

One of the benefits of our shitty economy here is that @fit is seriously struggling. Hopefully I can get stuff cheap soon.

I am not 100% positive but some dude was talking to the Sand Guru in the parking lot yesterday and I thought I heard him say a NEW @Fit gym opened around the corner which would make THREE in the same square mile (already @Fit North Scottsdale and @Fit Scottsdale are right there) as da Sand Castle.

Wrong Beelzebub. If anything is keeping @Fit alive, it's WGM and the many MANY wimmenz who need to show off their narcissistic tendencies while wearing short-shorts and knee-high socks. (Not knocking WGM, he does good work to where now the wimmenz are begging to be apart of the Gorilla Harem).

The Couch Thread is still doing its job. But you can only hate so much before getting really really tired...until someone like Couch, Shave, or Mayor McCheeze does a really stupid-ass thing again.

Hatred is a character flaw. Mellow out and enjoy the antics, bros.

I'm just filling a niche.

Bmac n' cheez either just got over a bout of dysentery or this is what @fit endurance will do to you after prolonged exposure.

You're not exactly rooting for @F's failure. This thread has lost some of the juice because a lot of us have lost contacts within the community. Why don't you come strong with some goods so we can get this fire stoked?
