I had two steroid shots last week too so I am thinking that plus all my CF the last 7.5 months and he will be a really strong little guy!!

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

The purpose of a WOD is exercise. The goals of which are:
building strength (and to reduce injuries by building stronger bones, muscles, and connective tissue)
reinforcing your body’s ability to adapt and recover
building neural adaptation and ‘practicing’ good movement
to push to the limit of your physical and mental boundaries
but most importantly: to be able to come back the next day and do it all again!
The purpose of a WOD is NOT:
to rip your hands so you can’t deadlift/pull up/clean/snatch/KBS the next day
to succumb and be a ‘slave to the clock,’ ignoring all proper form in order to get a faster time than your workout partner
to work til you puke/pass out
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

Is this the shortest drug testing policy of all time?Drug testing is required for any Athlete or Team to advance or collect prizes. Failure to timely
comply with CrossFit’s instructions regarding drug testing, including failure to follow sample
guidelines or failure to timely provide a sample, may result in the Athlete, the Team, or members
of the Team to be disqualified from the Event and any future Event(s).

Not if the test is multiple choice? As in HQ will have the choice who passes and who doesn't.

Too bad saving a file to your hard drive isn't the same as creating it, but if you want to believe something's real, you will.

Funny story, "biscuits and gravy" is one of I dig big chicks' favorite sayings. Coincidence? I think not.

So, funny story: for upwards of a month I've been bored with the shenanigans, and was trying to figure out how to make a graceful exit. If they'd continued to ignore me I would have just gone away like they wanted.Terry B. wrote:

However, if you ever do go away, you should pass your password to somebody anonymously in the middle of the night, with the stipulation that they must pass it on to another generation when they are finished.

Here's the thing: Couch and @fit get smeared all over the Internet. A basic search reveals that he personally and his creation are constantly getting bashed and made fun of on forums, blog posts and putative training articles hither and yon.
Yet he's living like Jay-Z and @fit is more popular than ever. Legions of haterizing has done nothing to stop their ascent. Possibly the opposite.
So why would HQ think that principle only applies to them?
Let's take a roll call:
Dan John
Mark Twight
Josh Hillis
Robb Wolf
The OPT guy
Soon to be WGM?
Who am I missing?

Re: The couch thread
Well, this is dramatic.
The Gorilla’s fan club went on the offensive this weekend. Have you seen how many affiliates have asked to have their sites linked on the Friends Of The Gorilla sidebar on TEAM GORILLA? It’s a lot. Those are just the ones who overtly favor The Gorilla. There’s even more who pass him info (and pics!) on the downlow, keeping their noses clean.
Do you know how many of them read IGx? Almost all of them.
When you have enough people ferreting out intel, including people who are close to or inside HQ, all kinds of things come to light. There are no secrets on the Internet. Very important for PR pros to understand that.
So it turns out Pukie is an employee (two employees actually) of HQ, but not "authorized" by HQ.
I now know who one of the guys is. It’s only a matter of time before my fan club finds the other guy. A secret is only a secret if only one person knows it.
Pukie started as kind of an inside joke, HQ was not actually sure who was behind it but they let it go because they thought it was funny.
However, they did not think this past weekend was funny.
They did not think it was funny at all.
There is a difference between shit talking (good natured or otherwise) and slander, believe it or not.
People at HQ are pissed, so much so that they’re investigating. I may talk a lot of shit about HQ, but credit where it’s due; they know how to have a good old fashioned witch hunt.
Don’t kid yourself; HQ’s higher ups know how to contact me. Hell, they have my cell number.
That said, I’m kind of a jerk sometimes, and I know that, but I’m not so big a jerk that I’m going to casually reveal someone’s personal information to the Internet. Not yet, anyway.
DearPukie.com’s registrant is locked behind GoDaddy’s DomainsByProxy.com service. But that only discourages casual snoopers. If you read the FAQ, they will happily roll over for a subpoena, such as might be obtained by a company whose intellectual property has been violated, and whose reputation is being smeared by an imposter.
This is suddenly so exciting. I wonder what’s going to happen next? Especially when my fan club sees this post and starts spreading the link around…
