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

[ThunderHorse]

Getting ripped like that is all about clean nutrition, to an extent once you get there it's all about macros, based on the fact that one of my friends just got pro card as a Physique competitor, dude eats shit I can't do at all.

It's not often that T-Nation writes something even approaching 'positive' about Crossfit, but this is definitely one. Pretty balanced article, and makes a lot of great points.

Today was a quite interesting workout day. We did two WODs:

WOD#1:

EMON
box jumps: 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3
KB (20kg) GTO: 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24

After a couple of minutes rest we did WOD#2

4 time:
-5 x 5 reps
-DL 100% BW, HSPU (I did STO with 50% BW since I don't know how to do a HSPU)
-every round we added 10kg to the DL.

Broke my PR (not my back ) and made it up to 5 reps of 110kg DL.

6 months ago if you told me I would be lifting 150% of my BW, I would think you are eighter crazy, drunk or on crack.

Time for some fun

In Poland, Easter is celebrated for two days. On Easter Monday we ususally meet with our families, eat, drink, catch up and stuff like that.
The other aspect is poaring watter on people (more HERE).
This year Polish crossfitters decided to do something special. A nation-wide campaign was set up to celelbrate Easter Monday with watter, but watter from our bodies
Fitmania was no different.
The WOD was being done in pairs, it consisted of:

150 thrusters (20/15 kg plate)
200 SDHP (30/20 kg)
200 push-ups
200 sit-ups
200 squats
50 burpees

We had 35 people participating in thje event. Best time was 24:11, and it was done by our oldest croffit pair. They showed us young guys/galls how to put out.
Here is a video:

Today my CF gym friends did one of crossfits "Hero Workouts". We did "DT" in honor of SSG. Timothy P. Davis (a Combat Controller from 23rd STS) who succumbed to his woundes whem his vechicle was hit by an IED Feb 20th 2009.
It was an honor to do this workout.

I disagree with that method if you don't already have a foundation. I thought I could teach myself how to do a snatch off of youtube videos... I was wrong.

Seeing some of the form I've seen in xfit gyms... I don't know if you'd be any worse teaching yourself the lifts

Well, when you are first learning the lifts - most do not look very pretty. And that goes whether you are in barbell club or a CF gym. It takes a lot of time and practice to even look half way decent on the snatch.

What the shit is this?



Is this considered cool? This guy should be beat to death with a rubber hose. Wtf. What if he fell forward? Dropped the bar? Etc etc?

I bet Reebok is just thrilled to death that their logo is in the background.

This is a classic example of an "Idiot"

I don't know how that isn't illegal in some way lol.

I don't know how that isn't illegal in some way lol.

Probably because there hasn't been an accident yet. Give it time.

Small man, big load

Why did you post a picture of Dr Seuss doing crossfit?

 

[AWP]

One fish,

This "like/hate" thing confuses me.

Not sure if @DAVE101 hated my post bc he doesn't like what happened... Or if he disagrees and thinks it is cool to put a baby's life at risk and act like an asshat for the sake of taking a picture.

 

[SkrewzLoose]

So if the guy wearing the sweet socks weighs 160#, he's only lifting 225#. And why the gloves? I am not that strong at all and I can lift 150% my BW (no straps) when doing DL.

Because he's not a bad-ass like you.
