Is there a list of "athletes" that were tested for the games, or should we assume everyone was using?

Did they list their stacks anywhere?

i am usually a fan of Andro friday but today, August 5, is the most disturbing WGM Andro Friday ever. With 2-3 exceptions, today was way more Andro then Friday.

Disturbing.
Jesus. That ginger on the right has a brow ridge bigger than mine.

It's an Icelandic trait. In my family we call it our "neanderthal brow".

What about those massive bags under the eyes? Icelandic trait, or signs of stage 1 adrenal fatigue?

Damn, the only time my eyes look like that is when I have a melatonin hangover from taking 6mg.

I don't have time to post pics of the top three competitors right now, but since everyone knows what they look like already, I figured I'd post some pics of the bottom 3 finishers in the @F gaymes. Can you tell any difference?

(dead last) Mona Pretorious (an Olympic OL hopeful for South Africa):

(next to last) Candice Howe:

(third to last) Tarasa Barnett:

General leanness and delts/tarps as compared to the top three are obviously WAY different. What's the guess that NONE of the top three women actually got "randomly" tested?

Didn't you make the point, like a year ago, that very few men are able to get the upper back development that these "women" have without being on the needle?

I was not a fan of this friday's postings. Sorry WGM.

The degree of leanness coupled with the overdevelopment of traps and shoulders is definitely suspect. Below is a pic of a decent natural woman bodybuilder. Note the definition and size compared to the XF winners.

To be fair, they're probably from the swim goggles.

She had a few kids at some point too.

I don't believe she competed in any "drug tested" CF Games until 2011.

Hmm...

Sorry, WGM, but I agree with the above. The rank and file @fit chicks and the SINS girls, and even the lower half of the finishers as posted by Captain Quack, are way hotter than the top gaymes competitors with the exception of Camille. But you know your target audience better than I do. I just hope you're not contributing to body dysmorphia among your already truly hot contributors.

See! Crossfit IS better than bodybuilding for size!

Sakamoto definitely has the look, now, and if you look at some pics when she was one of the three Crossfit poster girls, she had a bit of it then.

Even with the Games all wrapped up Reebok is not exactly aggressively marketing @fit beyond the existing community, are they?

So, is their mission to sell @fit to the greater masses, or to sell silly shit to the @fit community? Which is it?

dead man walking · Post by **dead man walking** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 3:00 pm

how much control does or will reebok have over x-fit?

training program? spokesmen/women? featured athletes (is reebok comfortable with the amazons who were at the top of the games)?)

if you partner with a cult, do you change it or do you milk it? the former may not work. the latter makes you some money as long as you can endure the embarrassment.

They see how much money CF'ers are willing to pay for items that say Elite or Crossfit on them they figured they might as well attempt to cash in on it too.

Well, no offence, but IGx has never been my target market, if you know what I'm saying.

That said, those shirts are bamboo, which is soft, wickable, eco-conscious, and expensive. I'll probably cook up those slogans on basic cotton in the next while.

Sakamoto said she only did 7 weeks of training to prepare

That's a hell of a 7-week cycle then.

I'm waiting for the mens shirts to come out. I hear they'll have a loop on the left shoulder for sunglasses.
