I started Crossfit in January of 2011 as a New Year's resolution to do something about my deteriorating physical condition. On January 1, 2011 I weighed in at 5'8", 203lbs and 34% body fat
At the end of June, 2011 I weighed in at 5'8", 158 lbs and 18% body fat. I'd lost 42 pounds, 16% of body fat and my wife sincerely asked me if I was doing steroids.
There still is a healthy HEALTHY dose of myopic self-image though...

They are getting on yahoo.com, self magazine, ESPN, etc... for all of HQ's shenanigans and idiocy, they won and the haters have lost.
Now we can continue to hate and ridicule all we want but nobody listens except for us.
They are still idiots, douches and jokes to real training but that is what the public wants and what sells.
@fit is like Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper and they will never admit that.
For all the time wasted on this thread by all of us posting our hate, anger, laughter and disgust hundreds of boxes opened up, millions of dollars were made off certs and media exposure increased exponentially.
Yea, we didn't make a difference whatsoever, we are just people yelling in an empty room.
I'm not on the couch thread to make a difference. The arrogance and financial success of @F HQ make them fun to hate. Associating with Self Magazine and opening up corporate style globo-gyms exposes them more than I ever could. But that didn't surprise any of us.
I'm just here to swap stories with and talk shit to the older martial artists, broken down lifters, and other miscreants on this virtual aisle of misfit toys. IGX is a good place to do that and pick up a training nugget or two.
I find it interesting that people who find this such a waste of time continue to spend there time here.
This thread helped me, and I'm sure many others, realise crossfit wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
It has also provided me with many examples that I can use to convince others of the folly of crossfit.
Aside from that I'm here for the schadenfreude.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller

I honestly stopped caring, a lot of us have as well. People may love to make fun of them and all that but its old and it gets to a point when it just reeks of blind hate and stupidity. We all know people like Mackensie are a joke, Glassman is a jackass and his personal saga of women and booze is worthy of poking fun at, but nobody cares.
And as far as the roids and @fit is concerned, who the fuck cares. I take shit and openly admit that and I am sure a plethora of @fitters have and do as well. Steroids and strength sports are as synonymous as peanut butter and chocolate, so who cares that a @fit trainer got busted... so did Ryan Kennelly and nobody here bats an eye.
I'm heading to the gym to lift, get stronger, compete and put the hate behind me, in every way. Why waste my precious time, energy and resources with so much stupid shit?
LOL @ your earnestness and severe butthurtedness over the couch thread.

It appears that Andrew Wilson was playing fast and loose on the board over at CA. He requested the thread be closed but before that it seems he created alter egos to "argue" with himself. There was an attempt to re-open the rhabdo thread but it looks like Wilson shot himself in the foot and got booted from CA.
That was some of the best shit I have heard in a while. it has gotten to the point now where his lies are so big and no one will say a word so they get bigger. The shit about at 15 he was so much stronger than all the other gymNasts that he figured out that if gymnasts would do barbell and dumbell work they could be strong like him? The older he gets the better an athlete he becomes.

This guy has probably made a bigger physical change than most of us. He got off the couch and did something positive WRT his health. He's no doubt burned out and needs a new direction to get stronger but he can do it I bet. He already did the hard stuff.

That's almost identical to what I did. I went from 220, at about 30 %, to 180 at about 20% in around the same time frame. About five or six months. I'd never want to be lower than 180 though. It was the most rewarding decision I ever made.

Andrew Wilson = Rant.
How many of the new cats is Rant?
I'm seeing more and more similarity in posting styles in certain members. And which of you fuckers was Raptor? He disappeared once we started ignoring him.
