Specifically at 1:10. He likes to bitch about the round back.

Compare to every fucking vid posted by affiliates of their trainees squatting, deadlifting and either snatching or cleaning, and tell us again about @fit's commitment to technique virtuosity.

But then again, 4 days prior to the Caviston video, CF fucking posts this shit:

What the fuck, over. They are fucking full of shit over there.

Lets see a video of couch doing anything other than swaying back and forth on his bad knee. Tell me how a bad knee makes the gut grow?

One of my friends was at an L1 where some dolt of a chick (redundant description given the location?) kipped herself off the pull-up bar and broke her arm. She passed the cert without issue.

Go on . . .

If you're going to come in and say shit like this, have the bawls to back it up with an anecdote.

That's a short, meaningful story to all you @fitters.

We are not all @fitters and if you need an anecdote after reading 500+ pages of this thread to figure out Lisa is the latest xfit nut job you are a "retard"

Did she make sure to log it in the injury forum, or did they brush that under the rug?

Owner of Dynamax medicine balls and originator of the “10 components of fitness” which Couch stole. Despises the uses to which his products are put, and therefore vilified by the @F masses who use $100 medicine balls to check their squat depth or to bounce off walls.


Mark Rippetoe
A strength coach renowned for a no-nonsense approach to strength training, author of several excellent books, and long-time defender / supporter of @F. Recently driven away by Dave Castro’s endearing personality coupled with @F’s insistence that proper programming and periodization is inferior to doing random shit for time. One of a growing number of SME’s with the potential to change @F into something halfway useful that are being alienated by the mothership’s ineptitude.

I have a buddy that speaks with Cawley in a regular basis. Apparently Cawley has enough Couch hate to melt the IGX servers. Someone who knows him should get a little info on this.

Rip didn't quit because of Castro. He hasn't dealt with Castro in months. Rip basically left because 1) he wanted to expand his own class to offer quality instruction and require actual competence and 2) he got fed up with @F ignoring the pleas of the SME's to implement some actual standards in the program.

2) he got fed up with @F ignoring the pleas of the SME's to implement some actual standards in the program.

Implementing standards would mean the use of the F word (Franchise). Couch won't do this as he has stated that there would be 10's of millions of $$ in costs if this happens.

Was reading through this old Sherdog thread and came across this gem:

So is this Glassman crossfit guy a kick ass superman athlete who can run, jump and fuck better than everybody else?

If not, he's contradicting himself right here and further cementing his douchedom to the world.

Again, I am acquainted with someone who showed up in the last half of day two and walked out with her certificate.

I have an L1 (I've got your virtuosity right here swinging). There was no test, no performance criteria. Fuck, they didn't even do roll call. For anyone to say that someone "struggled" during a cert is patent bullshit. There are dozens of students to a handful of trainers. They just didn't have the capacity to pay that much attention.

They do at the beginning of every cert as you walk in to see if you showed up, and to make sure people don't get in without paying the gin money. Don't fucking lie.

If picking up my name tag counts as a roll call, I guess they had a roll call.

@F Redding

Brittany Williams of Crossfit Redding is her name. Runner apparently.



Here's from some photoshoot she did -

Shitty brand of KB and her shoulder isn't elevated correctly. Hot and stupid, its unfortunate CF did the second part.

CultBuster wrote:one of their gurus said you will always perform better at a higher body fat than you will look good at. I think the numbers were ripped at 8-10%, but fire breather at 12-13% and skinny fags wouldn't budge on it.

Show up at Buds at 8% BF and you will hype out very soon. One of the hardest core, mentally strong guys i went to school with, captain of x-country team type, just a stud, didn't make it through Buds due to inability to not hype out in cold water.

Skinny strong? Nobody cares about your low BF% when you drop from buds and end up general duty guarding the North ramp in Bahrain.

Truth is if you want to mess with a sasquatch bodybuilder, wait until he is dieting for a few weeks. They are nuts from deprivation but have no energy or strength. Your stronger when you are a bit smooth. Going on vacation where your shirt
will be off a lot? Get shredded but lose a lot of strength and stamina.

BTW, love the couch saying he wouldn't take the Navy's endorsement. Who does he thing he is kidding? He would trade a shipload of Gin, Leesa, ANYC, a shipment of "supplements" from Mexico, and 2 "players" to be named later for a Navy, USMC, or AFPJ endorsement.

The root of english word "@fit" comes from the Latin word for "nutswinger".

We do have to give @fit credit for having such a great collection of hot, fit pussy.

Oh, and we do. We really do.

[Up until then, we’d had a good amount of people following our programming on line. CrossFitters and exercise enthusiasts from all across the country (and across the pond) were posting after workouts like Overhead Math and the Sissy Test. But come week three of the PTP program, all but a few loyalists had abandoned our workouts. When we asked why, people commented, “the workouts got boring,” or “it seemed too easy,” or “I missed my met-cons.” Fair enough, maybe… but also a crying shame. Because the people who DID stick around put up to 25# on their deadlift and 20# on their press in just two months. And on top of that, they PR’d workouts like “Cindy”, put weight on their clean and jerks and got a lot more comfortable under (or over) a heavy barbell. Boring or not, the PTP program worked, and the people who saw it through reaped the benefits./quote]

This is where @fiters eat their words. They claim they want performance, but I see this same thing over and over. It was like one of their gurus said you will always perform better at a higher body fat than you will look good at. I think the numbers were ripped at 8-10%, but fire breather at 12-13% and skinny fags wouldn't budge on it.

CB, where did you get this? I'd like to send the original to somebody.
