These people need some serious fucking help."What is Crossfit as a sport?" and "What is Crossfit as training?" may be the two most interesting or important questions. As a training tool Crossfit stands as one of the most effective ways to achieve overall or supplemental fitness. But as a competition and sport, it is up to the creators to define how to measure athletes against each other.

Are ice cubes Paleo? I think if you make them in the freezer they aren't, but if you chip them off a glacier they are.Yes I Have Balls wrote:Kazuya Mishima wrote:It's just a new cert to trot out, and then the flock will go back to their metcon torture so they won't feel guilty about eating icecubes and apple skins.![]()

Price controls by the franchisor.It is really disapointing and is kind of moving away from the "free market" approach since HQ is determining the rate for all of the affiliates.
Check.

SME's "Louie Simmons"
Has anyone seen the Movie Bigger Stronger Faster.
If not Google it, if you have netflix watch it online. Get to about minute 45 and you willl see mr Simmons. Im not really sure if this a person who should be used by crossfit, it seems to me he advocates using steroids. maybe I misinterpreted his comments if so I apologize. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this. Please If i am incorrect let me know, as I do not want to spread lies and rumors. But Crossfit is about doing things the Natural way, and this seems counter intuitive. thanks.

Also, several @fit mods still lurk here hoping to catch an IGX troll. To them I say, take your AUP and shove it firmly in your ass.

And Master Blaster aka Lynne Pitts has this thread as her home screen on one her 6 computer screens from her compound in Hobbit Land. One screen is used for the morons on the gay ass boards, one is a screen links to a camera that looks into Glasshole's hovel and the others are dedicated to this...
