Wait, Greg A is blocked? Details and knowledges please.

whatever happened to the original x-fit stars--greg a, the climber (whatever his name was), eva t, fuckable asian annie, etc? did glassman reward them with a piece of the action? or are they simply yesterday's news, working as trainers at their local affiliate?

Here's where a lot of your names are working now.

As far as I know, Amundson is still in law enforcement.

thanx doc. are they mere x-fit trainers in n cal? or do they own some piece of the business, as a reward for having been there early and helping it become the success it is? are they involved beyond their local affiliate? just curious whether they got some reward for their important early contribution, or whether glassman shucked them like bad oysters.

anyone who has started a business and leaned on people in the early days knows that decent people reward those who were with them at the outset.

Greg A. went to work for the DEA a year or two ago and was busy with the academy, training, moving around, etc. for a year at least. I have a friend of a friend who talks to him every now and then and I believe he's switched to a more strength focused program is possibly a bit disenfranchised as well. But everything other than the first sentence could just be something I created in my mind.

I have no idea beyond what teh Googlez tells me (and you). My guess is Eva owns most of that affiliate.

They're all like B-list celebrities now.

Yes, but they're much happier now. They keep their heads down, train their people, and cringe every time Couch does something stupid.

Greg A. was a metcon machine, but he wasn't strong at all. Hopefully he's come around.

Eva is still around Santa Cruz. She was at least for a while helping at Rippetoe certs.

HQ only even ran that piece because they were shamed into doing it by grassroots support on Facebook and elsewhere in support of Clever and Holmberg.

I hope I'm not talking out of turn here, but my good friend Jay Ashman, who's no fool, is on lockdown (post moderation) at the forumz after starting this thread:

http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthrea ... ght=clever

HQ really doesn't understand how badly they're pissing away their brand with their childish antics and their North Korean approach to media management. One day they'll shoot themselves in the foot too many times and there will be a full scale affiliate revolt.

Whoa-ho-ho! There's a second post in that @FJ page about Clever and Holmberg:

That's hilarious and sad at the same time. You have to wonder if next year's events will just happen to favor a more "marketable" body type to win the big prize.

I'm sure there's going to be a fitness posing/swimsuit modeling/andro babe event in the next one that will count for 95% of the scoring.

If that becomes the case, once again they're riding my coattails.

The Gorilla Games will be a lot like The Crossfit Games, except there will be nudity. And wading pools full of Jello. Stay tuned.
about 2 hours ago via web

Also, the webcast will have lots of slow-mo instant replay. It will be like Wipeout only hawt.

You should also sell the Jello to the freaks as an extra source of revenue. I'm sure the die-hard @fitters will want to eat androbabe-flavored Jello and be willing to pay for it.

Mmmmm. Gristle-flavored androbabe jello.

I do hope to see a WGM-approved version of the @fit Games at some point.

I'm thinking that heat exhaustion at the venue won't be a problem because there will be garden sprinklers set up next to the workout areas, spraying down the athletes. Style points will be awarded for flipping your hair around will licking your lips mid-workout.

I think that Triathlete Magazine should not publish the article out of spite and twitter back:

"RT @CFE - We changed our minds. Fuck you and the anaerobic eleeetz horse you rode in on. <3 TriMag"

Dirt Diva comes in strong with some good innuendo for Andro Friday:

I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.

LOL

AM revelations...good news: I'm better at snatching than previously. bad news: snatching is still really bad for a torn rotator cuff. Ouchy.

Sigh...
