"The Butt Test"...the newest random method that @Fers are using to non-functionally assess their asses. Original article here: http://www.liftbigeatbig.com/2012/01/butt-test.html

The @F Journal endorsing it.


The stupid, it hurts.

You're cherry picking your story, Quack. Like everything else in official @fit, they stole it without giving proper credit.

The whole thing began with LiftBigEatBig:

http://www.liftbigeatbig.com/2012/01/butt-test.html

Here's the actual video:



And in typical HQ fashion they've been busy deleting every comment that points out that HQ ripped off LBEB.


The real joy comes from the number of "Top" Elite @fitters whose glutes don't pass the test. There's been a lot of butthurt from people with 1x BW backsquats that the test isn't "valid."

Are you asking about his deadlift PR? If so, yeah, he's a 181 deadlifter.

a couple fat girls were doing this in my gym on the weekend. They were all cheering when each of the 150ers passed the test.

Lift big eat big? The haterz will say there's not much of either is going on here. The haterz will say that it's not a good sign when the plates are cropped out of a picture. But can those haterz wear a weight vest and half a roll of physio tape when deadlifting 100kg? Hardcore! :supz:

I wonder, does the shirt come with the $1000 certification, or did he have to pay extra? Do you think it cements his role as the powerlifting authority at his box?

Let's not use the couch thread to drive traffic to @F sites if possible. If it's appropriate to c&p the relevant text, then do so. If it's more appropriate to link, then do that.

I still don't understand how random is better than progressive and planned. If we applied that model to parenting, medical care, or accounting, we'd have some big problems to deal with. And the people who do, do it because they are stupid, uneducated, and/or too arrogant and self-centered to consider the effects of their actions and voluntarily keep the blinders on.

This. Also good to discuss things that @fit likes to keep under wraps-- like STD issues.

Yes.

STD transmission is high among certain XFing populations.
Marital infidelity is also certainly higher amongst XFers than general fitness pop.
Let's talk about the 100x greater occurance of rhabdomylosis among XFers.
Let's mention the fact that the RRG still isn't protecting affiliates, and is really for HQs protection, if it even exists.

I came from the “grass-roots” class of CrossFit, throwing down with a rusty barbell, in a gym smaller than my bedroom, surrounded by shirtless guys and ‘puke’ buckets in every corner.

A "rusty barbell", shirtless guys, and puke buckets? I'm pretty sure that was a gay Roman orgy, not a gym.

CROSSFIT IS FOR ANYONE.

It is for anyone. Not just the elite or the underground circle of tattooed, chiseled abs, “fire breathing” ninjas that I (thought) had once been exposed to. Anyone can do this. ANYONE.
Since when?

It's not for people who need STFU therapy.

It's not for people who demand statistical or scientific evidence.

It's not for people for whom falling off gymnastics rings onto their heads is a foreign concept.

It also isn't for the multitude of people who suffer rhabdo while doing it.

Who IS it for exactly?

It's for people who want to Zumba, who want to hoola hoop, and people who want to use PVC for their entire training career.

Pretty soon @BokONE boxes will be Judgement Free Zones, complete with fat acceptance counselors and Lunk Alarms.

I saw Crossfit on the cover of Competitor magazine today in one of those magazine dispensers on Sixth Ave.
It's awesome because everything Crossfit railed against circa 2003 is now what they've become circa 2012.


I can't wait until Michelle Obama does her first Crossfit class.
