The "CrossFit Culture" is a bunch of DORKS!!!

[ThunderHorse]

In regards to the "environment," my last roommate in college dug deep into me, he said if I couldn't be a self starter in the gym I shouldn't be commissioning. He was a minor league ball player with a crazy work ethic, it ended up not working out for him. So now almost two years later I don't need motivation beyond music once I've entered the gym. The whole cheering an community bullshit can, you know, blow me.

Also, from total frat move...I think the guy is a doucher, but hell it was a funny read:

and then a response from one of his readers:

Whatever. It is none of our business, nor the business of anyone else. She wants to look fuckable three weeks post partem? I am all for it. I should email her my number.

I like her shoes.

It's nothing new. Pregnant chicks have been doing CF for years, for some reason that pic caused a shit storm though.

It would be humorous if she cleaned and jerked her way into delivery... OOOOOOOOOOPs..... sorry, can somebody call adoctor, I seem to have delivered at my best weight yet...

This is a great article on the difference between those who compete at an elite level, and everyone else. Chris is a veteran of the sport, and has been around the block more than a few times when it comes to the CF Games.

Been doing CF for about three months now. Improved my overall fitnes level and met some fantastic people. And I'd guess that's the reason why I started doing this.
I hate the gym, I find it mundane and boring, so most of my life I've been staing as far away from them as I can. I also find the gym culture is something totally repulsive - for the most part.
Plus for 80PLN a month (that's aprox. 25 USD) I can train all I want.
I also learned how to climb a rope - small victories

^ $25.00 a month for a CF gym?!? Damn I need to move to Poland.

Our women are gorgeous, our food is delicious and our vodka is absolutletly breath-taking. Yeah, you really should move over here

Who the fuck came up with that WOD? Your lower back is gonna be so fucking sore you won't even want to stand up straight.

Actually my lower back is just fine, my legs are a little sore. If you do it right your back is AOK. But I know what you mean. I did DL and my lower back hurted for the next 4 days. Learned to keep my back straight the whole way.

I just don't see the point of doing high volume DL's and KB swings in the same work out, they are both lower-back centric exercises.

 

[Ravage]

Yes and th ekey was to do it the right way, meaning keeping the back straight every single time. We weren't running for th egolden globe, but more of a 'take it slow and learn the basics while WODing' type of thing. All th epreasure went into my upper legs (at least during the KB swings), which was the goal here anyway.
