"...Couch Glassman, and I, are ready to discuss in person, or on the phone, or ideally over drinks how everything you publicly stated..."

I had to fix it.

Hilarious!

I love how all of these enlisted personell (assuming they're truly active duty) speak to an officer. Even the communication from Lt. Col Dan & Spider Chick, both of which are outranked by a Navy Captain, are borderline in my opinion. I think it would be different outside of internet land...

Ah, a buddy of mine did that. I don't know why I claimed I fixed it.

I thought that odd too, RPC. Awfully fucking chipper to a superior officer.

That Navy guy didn't seem in bad shape either from his pic.

Always bothered me that Couch was such a military nutswinger.

Stupidest posts in that comments section is where someone figures you have such a better chance of survival in combat if you do x-fit. Those here who actually have been in it, know what total bullshit that is.

LMFAO

Spiderchick is seriously fucking delusional.

I'm glad the psychos are training @ssfit instead of actually lifting weights and getting huge.

That's just that few less psycho meatheads strolling around in the world today.

I'd much rather have to worry about tangling with a chemically imbalanced, 165# androgynous male, with a sub 4' Fran than a 250# mongo looking motherfucker that overhead presses more than I weigh.

Garrett Smith finally says something right! From the Pmenu. The rest of his post wasn't bad, either.

If it isn't obvious to others from the pictures and the videos, anabolics have well invaded the competition already. They are not against the rules and likely never will be.

What percentage of the commenters who claim to be mil really are? 5 or 10%, maybe?

The punchline for stosh, at least, is why in the freakin world are they so agitated about criticism of an exercise 'program'? I mean, you could read my log and call it non-productive or call it ignorant training or call it communist, I'd sit here and continue to eat my burrito. It's freakin exercise and physical play. There're some genuine perspective problems there at Couchfit.

Here's a fav from the comments section:

If your ancestors were gatherers that picked berries and ran to survive you will always be a pathetic creature that runs from adversity. To all those who come from hunters and warriors keep on fightin! Crossfit will take you to levels you never thought you could go.

Link please. I'd love to see some debate on the addition of anabolics to the @fit protocol.

Of course the Navy is against Crossfit. The Navy is known to dislike the tranny & GQ look we seek & covet here at Crossfit. Other then the tranny & GQ look, what else is there to Crossfit?

Truly sig worthy Couch:

CrossFit is closer to physical therapy than it is to being dangerous. We're fixing more people than we're breaking.

Thanks, CM. Going there, I found this:

Uber Moderator wrote:This thread is borderline... Regardless of opinions RE steroid use, let's save the claims until there's actually evidence of such. As I understand it, the games will be tested next year, so the potential for a problem has been recognized and is being addressed about as well as it can be in any sport.

Just remember - this is not a forum for bashing CF or the people running it (or anyone else). Let's keep the discussion strictly technical or it's going to disappear completely.

Killjoy. Anybody else notice just how many moderators they have on the PM? Also, take a look at Alan's warning that the thread was pushing the limits of "polite discussion." WTF?

I've kept fairly quiet about this recently but I can't stand it anymore. I hate @fit. What I hate most about it today is the blind obedience of my colleagues. GJ is right it: won't keep you alive. I'm fighting back against the tide I'm afraid, but I will not submit!

WRT @fit and metrics. I'm sure most people here know I'm a Personal Hygiene and Sanitation Consultant at Haliburton. Sounds mundane, but we're pretty competitive bunch outside the waste water treatment facility. Recently we had a competition at work that I logged in my journal. Looked like this:

me wrote:18 April 2008

Got up this morning a little earlier than usual and decided to do some light conditioning work:

1. Push up: 92x1 (1:00)
2. Sit up: 51x1 (1:00)
3. Pull up: 15x1
4. Dip: 23x1
5. Run 2 mi, (pavement)
6. Swim, 500m
7. Run, 5 mi. (pavement/sand)
8. Ruck: 7 mi (55#)

Took a bit over 3 hours.

I beat all my @fetishist colleagues to bits on the muscle endurance events. Having only run maybe 3 times this calendar year up to that day, I obviously sucked at running, but coming out of the pool, I had outswam about half of them. Enough to offset time lost during the second run. This, plus the way we "scored" it, meant that after my time was adjusted for reps in events 1-4 above the group average, I placed in the top 25%. I think the unadjusted average mile on mile difference between me and the fastest guys was less than a minute difference. Also, If it had been scored by line item I wold have won first by an unweighted average of individual event placings.

My run time was admittedly not great, but I'd rather take my program than one that produced a statistical average of 6 strict pull ups and 11 dips. I add in some conditioning to my program, and I've got the @fags beat across the board next time, too easy.

Oh, and at the end, which I didn't log, as we came in we dropped rucks and did an immediate 2 min BJJ match. In mine I quickly broke the guard of a rabid @fitter and submitted him with a bent arm bar. No need to get someplace fast if you're just hurrying up to get your own ass kicked. Small victories, as we say.

Bunch of cheaters too, guess there goes integrity........

"I was arguing with someone just before the games started about the pullup standard. Adam or Gaucioin maybe? I argued the standard is fine, but it wasn't right that the elite guys knew ahead of time. I was, shall I say, scoffed at, and informed that everyone was informed the same day the video was posted on July 4th. Well, OPT clearly states in the video he had 5 days advanced notice. Just food for thought. Make the exercises as strict and tough as you'ld like, but you have to make a good faith effort to inform everyone at the same time. Peace my bothers, peace.

PA Rob #583,

<<As for the professionalism… i.e. “hot mama” video, the profanity, and some of the other video’s obsessed with the female backside… you just ran right by those didn’t you?

Yeah, prudery and disgust at the female anatomy are not part of my composition. Quite the contrary, I’m rather enamored with women. Don’t tell me you don’t like beer or tacos either?!?! BTW, we never did a "hot mama" video, but you're showing promise here.

I think you're considerably nicer than you think I am. I appreciate and respect your niceness. I honestly believe that the world needs people like you. Duty prevents me from being that nice.

I need to add GG to the BMF thread....

it's a direct quote from the glassman explaining in part why he has the right to rip some navy captain a new asshole over the interwebz because by not using crossfit, he's putting sailors and soldiers in grave danger..... the whole thre4ad is so brutally fucking stupid that someone should die over it.
