And with such a shitty set-up.
Have her pull the shoulders back and arch properly and you could take away three boards.

Machete will be fucking awesome.
They'd have to try real hard to fuck that one up.
Werewolf Women of the SS was said to maybe be made into a feature length movie. If they keep nicolas cage in as Dr. Fumanchu, that one could be awesome as well.

It's not supposed to be.
I don't even think it was supposed to be a true grindhouse movie.
More an hommage to grindhouse cinema.

Yes, but holding an L-Sit/Handstand /= Feat of Strength.

You know those things that form lines at banks, amusement parks and Taco Bell? I always do either L-holds or dips. And escalators. I try to do an l-sit hold the whole way down. That's what kids do until they get too old and it starts to piss off people, so they get yelled at. Or they don't get yell...

Was exactly what I expected. According to older interview's of his, the story to inglorious basterds started out as an italo-western and slowly, the story line evolved until it was set in nazi-occupied france. You really notice this as well. Starting with the long introductory scene, the long, slow ...

Old school hate... nice.

This is why people hate @Fers. You don't see gymnasts running around with a need to say "Hey, everybody, look what I can do!!!!" in public. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs133.snc1/5689_1129892701458_1651451387_329924_2567334_n.jpg Especially if it's just a basic fucking ha...

Another problem with crossfit is its uprise parallel to the overall functional fitness craze (which started way before crossfit was popular).
Hence every college coach instructing his athletes to do power cleans nowadays supposedly does this due to crossfit.

Almost everybody thought it was funny. I live in a big citty though, so mentality will likely differ when going to a cinema in some ass-backwards bavarian village or such.

Can't remember where you are. Are you in a German speaking country? That is only place I know where Turks live anymore. Yeah, Germany actually. Bunch of turks and arabs here... more turks though. Which is okay. I'm fluent in turkish and have lived there a couple fo years, so it's not so estranging ...

Here, even with a shitload of turks/arabs in the cinema, the audience was roaring almost thorughout the whole film...

The amazing thing is, if they just dropped all their OTW bullshit, crossfit could be a decent think tank for metcon training, to use along with anything else one pleases to do. And now they're acting liek they are inventing every fucking training modality under the sun. When I hear people refer to t...

I am just wondering why POD's sex life seems to be the focus on this thread.

Feeling uncomfortable?

Hank Scorpio wrote:I must have been preoccupied with other critical IGx business, but are you all saying that Paddy O'Donnelly is a virgin?

No, he is.

Oh come on, let the man be. There are people with religious values that don't believe in premarital sex, and people that are just waiting for the right person. To each their own. I'm not the most seasoned IgXer, but come on... you're on IgX, on the couch thread, defending religion, morals and POD?

http://www.sfweekly.com/2009-07-01/news/ripped-literally-as-in-the-muscles-of-some-new-recruits-to-the-fad-of-fitness-bootcamps/ Bad press about people who put pictures bloody hands and people puking all over blogs and brag about how much pain they are always in. The press takes that and puts a neg...

The problem with most @F devotees is that they got into this lifting shit through couch. So their mental progression is centered around CF. It's not their fault. They are so blinded by couch's dogma, they can't see the fucking forrest for the trees. There is more than a choice between @F and inactiv...

The way he over-pronunciates words like gymnast makes me want to snap his fucking neck. I wonder why he has never posted a picture or newspaper referencing how fucking borderline-great he pretends to be in his dreams.

you're right. the only thing that really resembles crossfit about that set up is taking yourself too seriously...

Point taken.

Solid exercise for shoulder, thoracic, wrist and ankle flexibility. Genious.

the whole thing seems ghey as fuck. how is this not crossfit? do a sport. have fun while not losing wife, kids and sense of humor. that muthafucka is fitness . You know what the fucking problem is? It's gotten so far that everything that resembles a mix of max strength and endurance training is fuc...

Seriously. Fuck @F.
Working to excel at the above disciplines would need no PVC shit, no bitchy-ass cert, no wall-ball shit and definately would require keeping your shirt on.
Plus you'd probably kick any @Fers' ass with that combo.

Test of fitness: Day 1: Floor to overhead anyhow 1RM Weight for height Deadlift 1RM 5k run Day 2: KB Snatch 10min, unlimited handswitches Max Push-Up/Dips Max Pull-Ups Hike w/50lbs backpack for time/distance That would be pretty awesome actually and wouldn't need a lot of equipment.
