I'm assuming this Cash Reynolds is Kirez Reynolds brother if not Kirez himself. It looks like Kirez and he has the same dog as the guy in that video.

Kirez is the tard who was running a @Fit out of his grandma's backyard in the far west valley and got shut down. He e-mailed me a few times about buying stupid shit and generally wasted my time. He also bought a couple kettlebells at one point of the Cockjumping Guru and came up to the gym acting like a @fitter acts (ELITE).

I live in the Arrowhead area so it saddens me that he may now be in my neighborhood.

When I was training the OLYs I was never taught to jump like that, if he used 25% of that energy to pull under, he may have a pretty god snatch.

I'd listen intently to anything this man says regarding lifting a barbell.

good friend Cash Reynolds. He has a CrossFit Affiliate in Peoria. Cash is monster strong ( His Power Snatch PR is 205) Cash stomps his feet. I like stomping my feet.

Kilos, right? That's pretty good, then.

Oh, wait.

I've never seen such artful mastery of gymnastics and weightlifting put into one. You're like the Baryshnikov of the Barbell.

Do you teach? You should teach. People need to learn these skills. In today's fast-paced world, you never know when you might need to flip over a weight and then lift it, all the while making a face like you're passing a turd made of sea coral and razors.

Gimme a call. I may be able to get you a trainer gig. You have insurance, right?

you are a serious fucktard...how dare you soil the history of the barbell with this faggoty shit?!? do your unborn children a favor and kill yourself soon...maybe the gayest cultfit "wad" i've ever seen...how does a person not get jumped doing these moves in a park???

gorillasoph
You're just overestimating the intelligence, honor and courage of the average park attendee, I guess. There simply aren't enough people as good as you around, to step in, identify and pass judgment on the quality of the movement and its illegitimacy in the traditions of lifting, and beat down a gay fucktard with a barbell. The world has gone to shit, alas.

There's a Pukey @Fit Greyskull thread on teh FORUMZ: http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=51858

Probaly not worth reading but I skimmed the first few pages and a king douche among douches emerged quickly...John C. Brown from Colorado.

Here's some of his assheadedness:

"Huge Decline in Quality"

This is one of those sweeping generalizations that, for all intents and purposes give me a case of the runs.

Are the points in the article valid? Some, yes, some no. Do we need to consult SMEs on the Games programming? I think that that is ridiculous. This past year's games saw some of the most amazing feats of physical and mental strength and did well to accomplish the two goals that it set to accomplish: to establish the fittest man and woman on Earth for the next year, and to do so in a way that was unknown and unknowable. In my opinion CF doesn't need a lot of help there.

Are there gyms that need to be better at what they do? Absolutely! But instead of merely complaining, why not do something about it. Get your local gyms together and talk about training and how to become better. Offer to trade out weeks or months of programming for each other's gyms. If strength is what you think is the biggest issue, then start holding olympic and powerlifting meets and invite all of the local affiliates. If bad programming is the issue than get people together and offer ideas. One of the biggest problem with the chipper workouts that are constantly programmed at some gyms, is that the gym owner/ lead trainer doesn't have enough equipment to do workouts for everyone, so they do a start and finish. If no one gives them ideas on how to work around these issues, like say breaking into groups, doing team wods or starting in offset positions, than chippers is what they get... If they don't have enough bumpers (and really, how can you ever have enough) than they are afraid of doing strength days, because the clientele complain about waiting around or some such BS. Well, tell your clients that if they want more bars and bumpers, donate some cash. Mike Burgener passes the hat at "Mike's," if it isn't too good for him, why is it too good for you? Our building is huge and costs a boatload to heat in the winter (Colorado= cold), I told my folks that if they wanted the heat on to bring in more people.

I have not met the folks from Greyskull, although I have heard from more than a few people that they are good people and that their biggest priority is their clients. That is awesome, I am sad to see them go. The bottom line is that if they were really disappointed with things, they would have taken steps to change them rather than walk away. As far as the bad CF gyms, they will likely fail on many levels, this is the business model that Coach Glassman wants... I think. I once had Jeff Martin talk to me about my seat on the bus, well it seems to me that Greg and a few others are firmly in the driver's seat. If I want to change the direction, I better have a really good reason why, and the proof to support my argument, otherwise I would plan on packing my bags as well. Not because I disagree (the aforementioned business plan allows for that after all), but because I decided that I didn't want to play the role that was meant for me and I was asked to step off the bus.

If you want to change things, do it, don't cry about how bad the world is.

I said that they weren't necessary to plan an event that wasn't their subject matter, i.e. The "CrossFit" Games.

Now, words are tricky I know... Need for instance would imply an incapability to do without... What I am saying is that it wasn't necessary. How many of us know a dead when we see one? I would say most. How about "ground to overhead in one movement" which was the standard for the snatch workout on the second day (by the way, Coach B was there, every step of the way). Maybe we should have had Lisa Lugo and her affiliate crew program the Affiliate cup wods... after all, no one knows affiliates better and she herself owns one.

Tricky words...

No, they most certainly shouldn't. I am close friends with several of the SME's. I look up to them as mentors both in business and in training. I call them "Coach" more often than not. These folks bring CrossFit and CrossFitters up, make them better at all of the various pieces and parts of CF, but it is still CF, to which the expertise lies firmly on the shoulders of those that plan the Games. Going from not consulting them to getting rid of them is a GINORMOUS leap! Do "The World's Strongest Man" competitions consult with Rip? I doubt it. Are they dead lifting things in the competition? I would say so, but their expertise in the events is what gives them the right to program the events. I am sure that there are several other examples in the sporting world, this one seemed to be the most relevant one that I could find at 8 am.

The SMEs jobs, as I am to understand them, are to make CrossFitters better at (primarily) coaching those things that they specialize in. I think that they accomplish that job better than just about anyone in the world... Including Rip, we just did the Total at our gym today and have been programing in (relatively) more strength components in in general. Not however at the cost of a compromise across the 10 general skills as a whole. Do we need to be stronger as a community? I would argue that we don't; anymore than we need to be more flexible or have greater Cardio-respiratory endurance. We recognize the need for a broader and more generalized fitness. The SMEs facilitate us in meeting those requirements... as well, I might add as making the affiliate owners and trainers better at what they do.

Also, since the SME's were not consulted you don't have all the experts getting together to make the event more balanced or well-rounded. Furthermore, I thought CrossFit was supposed to bean exercise plan, not a business model? End Quote

CrossFit is a fitness program... congratulations Captain Obvious. CrossFit Inc. is a business, it requires a business model. The business belongs to Greg and Lauren Glassman, they have decided to share it with folks like myself who choose to make a living training people. It is up to them how they choose to run their business, it is up to me whether I stay with it or not. Currently, I would have a very empty future without CrossFit and what it has done for me and my clientele.

As to the Games, they are open invitation, if Olympic and Amateur athletes want to compete, they can. However, I would argue that due to the specialization required by their sport that they may not do as well as you think. The best Olympic weightlifter in the U.S. probably wouldn't have qualified, neither would have the best long distance runner/ swimmer. Of course, this is all speculation, because they don't come out, they have their sport to focus on.

To your argument about the fittest man and woman on the planet... go back and read again mousekateer, I finished by saying "for this year." The very nature of the Games requires that people be adapted to wide ranging stimuli or: "Broad time and modal domains." Whomever can accomplish the most work over a given amount of time is, by CrossFit's standard, the fittest. That is what was tested. Switch one or two of the events and the winner would have changed, the stats have been done: Take away sledge/ row: no contest, Mikko destroys the field. Take away the run: no contest, Khalipa destroys the field... Take away the dead lift... Maybe Speal makes the second day... and then destroys the field. They are all BS, the events were what they were and none of the athletes could have trained specifically for those events, that is what makes CrossFit unique. As far as well rounded goes, I don't know if it could have been more well rounded. Seems to have covered most of the time and modal domains that I can think of... What do you have? Because again, the thesis in my OP was that there was a lot of complaining and not a whole lot of suggestions on making things better.

I am not the type that implodes when someone pushes back, I encourage it, so long as the argument isn't inane...

CrossFit is not in the business of making people better at CrossFit, the program itself defines fitness (something which no one else has done in a more logical way, go look for yourself) and then outlines measures to achieve that fitness. Rip prefers the business of making people strong, he offered that CrossFit could do with a bit more strength programming, if you go back and look at the main site, you will find that that happened. He offered a test as a way to measure the increase in that strength, CrossFit adopted the Total. You say that CF doesn't listen to suggestions, well there are two perfect examples of how they do. If something is true, it is always true. If it isn't always true...

There is a ton of faggotry contained in those posts. And the thread in general has a good volume of GAY-tensity.

http://www.rickross.com/warningsigns.html

Too good to not repeat...especially in light of the RRG (see list one number 3)
...and Greyskull (see list two number 10)

Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1) Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.

2) No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.

3) No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.

4) Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.

5) There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.

6) Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.

7)There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.

8) Followers feel they can never be "good enough".

9) The group/leader is always right.

10) The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

Ten warning signs regarding people involved in/with a potentially unsafe group/leader.

1) Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.

2) Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.

3) Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".

4) Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.

5) Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.

6) Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.

7) A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.

8) Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.

9) Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.

10) Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.

OK, because of that stupid filter, I don't post my wod results here. That said, what is it with that CFE bullsh!t? Are those tossers anything to do with CF? I farging hope not. I'm busting my balls, like most of you, working out and studying and trying to comprehend and perfect everything I learn here, and along comes some farging wanker claiming to be CF, but hey, let's be better, let's add a farging "ENDURANCE" at the end. That done, we'll confuse ten colors of dogsh!t out of everyone by describing the daily (pathetic) workouts in first grade arithmetic. 20 divided by 10 multiplied by eight, followed by more crap that was all supposed to mean: do a god-dammed tabata. Why the hell not just say so?

Hey Puff (comment 189) - Don't knock what you don't understand. CFE is a great program for those who embrace CF but also want to follow their passion for endurance events. Since you don't understand the CFE/CF programming, I suggest you go to a cert and learn something about CFE before you go off on the program and spout your ignorance.

Comment #190 - Posted by: Steve - CF Ocean City at October 7, 2009 1:43 PM

This is the shit that is even funnier than the park video (almost) you have a dude who puts "puff the magic dragon" as his signature and [email protected] as e-mail and he spouts some wanna be english madness to get a rise out of someone and RRG lawyer takes the time to swat him down...can't they see that the reson that people post shit like that is so some tool will get on and quote Glasshole or list the CFJ Article number about it. More douchery...

I really respect Dave Tate and his knowledge on weightlifting. Great coaching tip about really emphasizing heels loaded during the thruster. The tip about the chin up though could be looked at in a different way. Straight line is the SHORTEST distance between 2 points but the FASTEST would relate to the speed of the object in motion. If I use the dead hang as my pullup of choice b/c of its SHORTER distance between the top and bottom, I will only be able to use about 30-40% of my total body muscle mass. The Kipping pullup will incorporate about 70-80% of my total body muscle mass. So, 185lbs(BW) spread out over 30-40% will fatigue faster then spreading it out over 70-80%. Also, the Kipping pullup travels at a FASTER speed between the top and bottom, meaning I get more acceleration of my mass(F=MxA), meaning I get more FORCE traveling the same or more DISTANCE in less TIME, which equals more POWER.

Fxd/T=P

P.S. 99% of all percentages are bullshit, use them as a general idea, not as an exact number.
Comment #14 - Posted by: TommyRudge at October 6, 2009 6:02 PM

If this is true, the entire post is pointless?!

I got sucked into an offline discussion on Dave Tate's comments and Thrusters, and that discussion prompted me to write a post here regarding the thruster. It got caught in the filter. The thumbnail version: you cannot posterior-chain load thrusters, they are necessarily a quad-dominant movement.

On the top one...

1) There is a finger print on the lens of the camera, seen over the guy in the rower
2) I also don't like seeing "little people" exploited like that, assuming that noone would put their minor child in those pants.
3) Ginger is looking kind of soft over there, needs to drop a few blocks per day to cut.

Bottom...
1) Shopped - there are no black crossfitters let alone black cooches
