127.5lbs wouldn`t be to bad if it was a one arm push press or jerk.

That is most triumphant.

I am going to go down the the Factory Seconds Tombstone Outlet and have them carve that into a chunk of marble.

More and more of the ATIS weather pre-recorded information broadcasts are now in the electronic voice of our favorite @fit youtube videos. Always good for a laugh before every take off and landing.

Someone who is associated with the people at HQ, but not entirely sympathetic to them, tells me that whenever someone talks about the couch living in a darkened, filthy house with his cousin, like a pair of squatting, boozing, stoner hobos, HQ gets agitated.

Couch, you got my number, bro. Let's get the freeloader out of the house and let's get you back on your feet and in-charge again.

For fuck's sake, the cousin's an attorney. He should be litigating and overbilling, not living off couch's seconds.

Couch is living together with his cousin? What's up with that?

Is he an older, divorced, out of shape, gin-guzzling nymphomaniac too? I need details!

The Gorilla had a morning business meeting that ended up taking up half my day. Regardless, better late than never.

Here's what you can expect to see:

And many more.

And since The Gorilla is an egalitarian gorilla, and since at least 30% of the dudes on IGx will want to look at this and about half the broads, here's the sister site WildGorillaGirl, which I really should start marketing a little more vigorously:

And for the last order of business, we're test driving a new WildgorillaStore.

Suggestions and feedback (and purchases, of course) are welcome.

Two Time Olympian and current 77kg american record holder in the clean and jerk (190 kg)Chad Vaughn is registered for the USAW/Crossfit meet.

I want to watch the @fitters faces as a real elite athlete humiliates them.

I just sent David Morgan an email informing him of the upcoming competition. Here's hoping he can make it, along with any other true high-level OLers willing to learn double-unders.

Bad idea, he'd be disqualified for keeping his shirt on, and I don't know if they make oly sleeves long enough for him to put on @fit plates.

The ladies are not the key demographic. Although they're the ones asking for big sweaty 70s Big looking dudes, so pony up some pics brah. I promise that I won't enjoy them.

This. The sub 200lb shaved guys, not so much. You need some Gregor Edmunds looking men.

I would think so... but who knows. chad is not an "athlete" and has a club foot which he has overcome much like doug hepburn and become a great athlete in spite of. But I wish him the best.

Now, if someone like Jon North competed, it would be game over. Former division 1 running back, hell of an athlete, currently snatching 340lbs and clean and jerking 420lbs at under 200lbs bodyweight.... and did whatever CF workout that is 30 clean and jerks with 135lbs in 1:41... wityh absolutely no endurance practice.... If guys like him competed, fuck. He could beat 99% of CFers at CF, let alone a CF + OL hybrid.

Why? because he is an athlete!

The only humiliation would be from him outlifting the CFers in the initial portion of the event.

The competition itself is intentionally set up to be scored in such a way that the single conditioning routine will score as many points as the points from the Sn & CJ combined.

Additionally, they'll be bringing in top lifters (read: exceptions to the rule) to pad their results.

Example of how OPT with a less than bodyweight snatch scored:

Sn-80 + C&J-115 + 255 = 450

Mountebank · Post by **Mountebank** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 5:50 pm

It appears that David Morgan will be on his honeymoon during that competition. He also didn't seem to think it was worth it to travel all the way from England. Fancy that.

Re: his muscle-ups, the @Fers had a field day already saying they didn't "count", like they always do when beaten at their own games.

Considering that Mr. Morgan pursued the world record for dips in one minute (half-dips, really), I have little doubt that doing @F-style swinging spaz-ups would cause him much difficulty. This is in addition to him not taking advantage of ANY "slop" in the workout.

Also, hearing about how @F is supposedly benefiting OL in this country when some of their best aren't even snatching BW is laughable.
