That whole piece depicts a tale of lifelong exercise addiction and extreme dependence on external validation.

I cannot feel sorry for her.

I feel sorry for the individual who is conned by the @F promises of good health and vibrant fitness as an adult, and who is then injured and will be in pain the rest of their life.

I wonder when Rob Orlando will come to the same conclusions she did.

Most people will keep their affiliation for the marketing aspect.

I'm sure he has. He'll go public when he has enough money to be satisfied.

Also, Rip's a horny dude. Eva T's a horny lady. There may be dots to connect.
Eva T is a horny lady because she took enough hormones to blur that line between the sexes and may have inherited some of the male sex drive as a result.

You are just angry that Eva T makes more test naturally than you do with hormone replacement.

Rob came into CF with some inherent resistance to hard stupid things developed from strongman and I suspect he's smarter with his trainign that 99% of the other CF people. He may ride it out for a quite a while longer.

Methinks the "fixing broken @fitters" will be a very richly rewarded profession .

LMFAO.

I hate to break it to those excited folks who started @Fit during this current wave of popularity explosion, but a cool pair of knee socks or Vibrams and training the crap out of yourself 5-6 nights a week doesn’t make you a @Fitter. Eating “Paleo” (when everyone is looking) and talking like you even know what Paleo REALLY is about doesn’t do it either. And, no, it won’t help if you add running before or after your WOD or you Zone your Paleo foods. Not even the “On Ramp” class you did with the coach who got his Level 1 last week makes you a @Fitter…
[...]
It’s also up to us to keep CrossFit from becoming another “Everyone is doing it, no one does it anymore” kind of thing. We’ll know it’s over when Spencer Gifts is selling CrossFit T-Shirts right next to the UFC and Tapout stuff. If that happens, I’m out. But until then…

It's funny because those "practical paleos" are fuckign wannabes too. It's like a fat goth kid calling a fat harry potter fan weak.

WTF is a practical paleo? Thats like saying "I'm a practical lifter; I only lift when it's practical for me". It's not that fucking hard. You go to the grocery store, buy a bunch of veggies, fruit and meat and cook. Thats it. You go dinner, order a salad with oil and vinegar with a steak.

If you want to do paleo, fucking do it.

I will say, the Norcal margarita is fucking awesome.

Plus, that dipshit Adam Farrah is a koolaid drinking douch anyway, that whole article is a fucking Glassman handjob. Overhead swings with the kb are stupid and wrong.

I see there are 24 guests.

I bet you are all piece of shit Crossfit affiliate owners who don't have the balls to break with HQ. I hope the money you make will compensate for the guilt you feel when your clients get rhabdo, a SLAP tear, achilles rupture, knee, or back injury. I hope for your sake someone doesn't drop dead because of your stupid, fucking retarded programming.

IMO, that would be a really bad idea. These people posses eleeet levels of fitness, thus they are harder to kill. Some of them have even taken a striking certification.

Do not dismiss the tactical application of 'wall ball.' It's what cost Rome at the Caudine Forks, the German's at Verdun and the British in Singapore.

This photo accompanies the "Why can't anyone swing a kettlebell right?" article...

A quick visit to the mainpage to look for something reconfirmed my earlier belief that there is not a larger group of douchebags on the planet. The pictures. The stupid workouts. Two people vigorously dragging a sled w/ less than 100 pounds. Some nut backsquatting driftwood who took time to lay his handgun on top of his backpack to be sure it showed up in the photo (establishing cred I think?). Some dipshit doing knees-to-elbows off his mom's miranda instead of eating dinner.

what a pack of morons
