The couch thread

[zak-zombie]

Just a little bit of friday irony, never actually read this thread all the way through - seems like a total cluster fuck of shit though.

[I'd Hit It]

The Crossfit/USAW "Weightlifting" Open ran their first day today, score sheets are out here. Not recognizing many USAW lifters, seems like mostly Crossfitters. Also noticed on their score sheets that the "total" is a combination of the weightlifting total plus the number of reps done in the Crossfit metcon (# of rounds you can do in 10 minutes of 6 55kg squat cleans, 12 pull-ups, and 24 double-unders). Which means that apparently adding an extra kilo to your snatch or C&J is the equivalent of doing an extra double-under. Interesting interpretation there.

The original announcement here says the score would be based on the number of rounds, not reps . . . Wonder why they changed it?

They never really changed it, and the goal was to game the scoring so that only @Fers would likely be able to win. This was tested by ELEEEET @Fers before the meet so that the metcon would account for approximately the same number of points as the total.

Correct. If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

Holy nigger fuck! Checked my email for the first time in over a week. Talk about some insane shit coming out of @fit in the past week.

And fuck you Tyler Hass you cunt.

Now the real question is what is Robb Wolf's alias on here? Or did he post under his real name at one time?

What is up with boy Tyler did someone steal his idea for the agility ladder now?

It's believed that Tyler has been trolling the board to try and figure out who is posting at IGX and then running to Couch with the info.

That's funny

Sad really. It's not like most of us aren't known by Lynn-E.

Way to reinforce the opinion that crossfitters are whiny cunts Tyler. Couch should just have his wife whacked. Save him a fortune.

[Crust Bucket]

Isn't Tyler the douche that didn't know how high a meter was and started jumping out of 10 foot trees with his tennis buddies after Andy told him it was 10 feet?

That kind of tattle-tailing actually goes on? Wow! Must be nice, to have that kind of business model, lots of free time... It's as if some of them never mentally developed past the fourth grade, and they're running it like an eleet fucking lemonade stand. I'm totally gobsmacked.

I'm still stuck on my Members-Only Tree Fort analogy. If there was a deal in the works, and the accountants and analysts showed up at HQ for their due dilligence, I'm honestly curious about what they'd find.

It's a good analogy. They probably even have a secret knock to get in the door. A real "Outsider's Inner-Circle" if you will.

Did I ever tell you about the time when I worked as a lab tech at a prestigious art college? I observed the students forming factions, little eliteist groups of hipster who'd look down their noses at the other students. I remember once saying to a friend of mine "I have no idea where this elitism comes from, because God knows, they were all picked last for dodgeball growing up."

Same thing, here. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Set up a group that "empowers" people, gives them the impression that, by being involved and participating, they become elite, you're gonna need a way to insulate yourself. An allegorical "tree fort" as you call it, built entirely out of insecurity and suspicion and where god-only-knows-what goes on.

The sky is probably the limit. I can't wait to read about it...

The ad copy here gave me a headache: http://weightlifting.teamusa.org/news/2 ... year/38853

Disgusting.

That's not a jump-rope, it's a leash. The dude in the Trample shirt is her sub.

Fixed.

Much like the spindly leg faggots wearing the "Shut up and squat" shirt while doing 1/4 squats in the smith machine.
