Are you condoning adultery?
I think it's fairly well-established by now that Fat Cat would fuck anyone in the ass. I assume that this must be in the Bible somewhere, although I don't remember it. Maybe it's in the Teacher's Edition.

GDG!

PS 40K is so close!

The way it's organized and the way posts are edited in the Bucket, it's hard to find anything. Which I guess might be part of the idea?

All that's left is this

http://www.crossfit.com/discus/messages/3456/18210.html

basically my original question - which was asking someone to explain why Couch's post wasn't nonsense is gone, as are the more sensible senior crossfit responses, like Robb Wolf's, and the lame CF is magic defenses too. All that's left are the cuts on me.

The Bucket is obviously very a effective way to stop people from discusssing these types of things.....as this thread reaches 40k hits.

I suspected that was it based on the "Manna" title, but was confused by why the latest posts were from January.

Guess you gotta move fast to avoid the censors. Hm, it's surprisingly like being an online Chinese dissident, no?

The sectarianism and selective righteousness over there is enough to keep me from ever doing CF.

I can deal w/over the top hyperbole (DD, Furey, etc.) but creepy true believerism ala @Fit and Sonnon drives me away from their products.

The workouts are named after his favorite tranny hookers.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

It is not flame. He is defining the difference. Someone on DD opened it up.

I look as the CF forum maybe twice a year.

I just value the "....overflowing with foulmouthed ignorance." line.

But now they've deleted it. Therefore we are polite and knowledgeable.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words I delete never happened.

After a 12+ week cycle experimenting with the way they do stuff @ Xfetish, I would agree with this guy about the efficacy of their WoDs. The mixed mode anaerobic stuff is excellent, though not really distinguishable from Mahler's HOC. The other bit that is quality is the Crossfit Philly KB-centric WoDs that cimes frequently does, which are circuits that are not appreciably from the stuff purveyed by Maxwell, Whitley, Pavel, and many others. However, as has been said before here, their idea of strength training is next to useless--trying to max out once or twice a month in a major movement with no consistent practice between these efforts is absurd.

This is a very good statement. I've been told that the XF trainers spend a lot of time on correcting exercise form. However, if you look at some of the WODs, they rarely go over 60kg for stuff. If you are a 100# woman this works for a while, but not for anyone with a good amount of strength.

Even the ME Black Box stuff is way more suitable for experienced lifters than beginners.

The "mixed mode" stuff came from a similar place as the "Liftinov" stuff from Dan John. Do some lifts, then sprint off with a sled or pick up a rock and run for a bit. Simple, yet highly effective.

You'll get stronger, faster if you follow Rippetoe's recommendations from "Starting Strength". Notice that Rippetoe is the lastest "Strength" guy recruited for XF. He's got the XF-Wichita Falls thing in his WFAC gym as a kind of subset. I'm waiting for the fallout, because Rippetoe's not the kind of guy who will stomach bullshit.

I hear he's ignorant, foulmouthed, a coward, and an incredibly weak performer. Once he spits out the KoolAid that will be the official line.
