Possible IGXer or future IGXer as the OP? Seems like he is over the idea of blindly trusting an unproven system.

Also, never noticed that cunthole Mark Wallace too much until popping on there recently. He drank a little too much of the koolaid.

Plus, if USAW lifting rules are enforced, there will be a cascade of triple reds on press-outs, hitches, elbow touches and not waiting for down signal.

These would seem to be truths that have been divined through competition, not debate.

The vast majority of the threads are injuries previous to beginning CrossFit or ones sustained through strength lifts.

XF = loads of money for OL equipment manufacturers. So much so that independent brands of OL shoes can be manufactured and labelled.

Shaf is right. I was just mentioning to another IGx'er that I paid $200 for Adistars ten years ago, and $99 for Rogues two years ago.

The first time I priced out a set of bumpers and a training bar ten years ago, my cheapest option was Ivanko at three grand. Three years ago, BFS bumpers and a Pendlay bar were well under a grand, including shipping.

Make all the usual jokes about how 5kg bumpers have plenty of profit margin in them, the overall price compression, and explosion of brands wouldn't have happened without Crossfit, and we all benefit.

Between the huge increase in available equipment at affordable prices and what Crossfit does to women's bodies, I think we're all net positive on this equation.

Teh Gorilla has a point. Rogue is awesome, and they appear to cater to x-fitters.

Plus, I like andro.

I do agree. The quickness with which so many @Fers reach burnout and/or injury means that their equipment is up for sale used on Craigslist at even cheaper prices!

word. i have capitalized on this myself.

If the USAW leadership thinks comingling with Cultfit is going to save them, they are a bunch of naive morons. Glassman made what, $2 million or something last year? He doesn't want to "increase USAW's profile," he wants to take over, wipe them out, all Cultfit all the time. You don't run an organization and then let "open up" your doors to another organization that is designed on taking over YOUR sport. It's fucking basic. 101 shit.

Coochy coo made 2 million on T shirts. There is significantly more money to be made in douchefit than there are stars in the sky.

Affiliate fees, cert fees up the wazoo, cut of trainers fees, i am sure that motherfucker is like Ronald McDonald and gets "appearance fees". the actual amount is scary once you start adding things up.

Lauren has some. Couch has some. HQ has some. I bet couch has a shitload in saving and investments.

Couch makes MC Hammer look like Suze Orman. Why do you think he's dried out and gone back to work? His savings account DNF'd, and he's back on the prowl.

Justin Bieber is ripped!

Yup--do the math. A local douche has 7 trainers which is $7000 2 are level 2 so another $20000. All 7 trainers have jump rope, endurance ect...5 supp certs by 7 trainers is $14000 add on $2000 a year affiliate and the fact that the bulk of them work for free most weekends (HQ Training Staff) so you are at $25k in under 3 years for ONE BOX! Look on main page...250 people at $1000 per 35 weeks a year! Couch is a dopey drunk fat mother fucker, but he hets paid!

I imagine a lot of Couch's money went to those fancy clothes, expensive hair styling and plastic surgery. You don't look like him without spending some serious coin.

I want to return briefly to BMack's failed running events and just have one last laugh. If the XFE founder can't get it to work, how can anyone else? The hubris inherent in filming a 40 mile solo run then failing to get more than half way into it is low comedy at it's most esoteric.

TWIGHT WAS RIGHT! HAHHAHAHAHHAAH.

His recent failure has him hard-riding the coattails of Brian Chontosh, better known as "Tosh", who did the distance that BitchMack failed to do. But Tosh is not proof of XFE's success, but shows how much of an oddity he is like David Goggins. It would explain why these guys are so successful in the military. Plus, unlike BMacNCheeze, Tosh would have still kept on going if he suddenly had a gimpy hip.

But for everyone else, Twight was indeed right.

What was Twight right about?

That you need to go long to perform long, and that short metcons and lifting aren't enough.

And that getting the fuck away from @fit is one of the keys to success.

Wait, that was Twight? I thought that was, well, everyone!

Don't kiss his ass for that. Enduro-types have said that for all along. Twight just drank the kool-aid before going back.

If you want a model for the benefits of intense circuit training for enduros, look at ShariBaby and the Diva. They never cut miles. They just added deltoids and lost a few items of clothing.
