“CrossFit is the application of the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics to human movement, something else that is kind of unique for us,” Glassman says.

I wonder why they just apply the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics.

Imagine how awesome they'd be if they, like, applied ALL of Newtonian mechanics!

And enough CF'ers will believe this... Every sport I've played or participated in has talked about the the bio-mechanical physics and how it relates tot he given sport. Some have gone rather indepth, none were CF.

Fuck them and their antiquated garden physics...me and my niggers exercise according to the principles of Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity.

Gravity...pfffffft.

My Fran time curves space, bitches.
I thought that @Fit was already applying quantum mechanics, what with the randomness and all.

You're thinking of Chaos Theory, GDG. Totally different axis on the fitness curve.

And gut-busting EL OH EL at applied physics being unique to @fit. It's like a whole generation of Soviet sports research just went *poof* as if it was all a crazy dream.

What about Schrodinger's Cougar? She is neither Andro nor non-Andro until you open the box and see.

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

Rocky trained in the snow running up mountains, chopping wood and pressing a cart full of his family and friends. Drago lost the fight because he did chest flies.

Which one do YOU think did @Fit?????

Don't miss the actual free videos on couch:

What a bunch of doublespeak garbage. The sheep (except the one guy asking a question, who is dumbfounded that couch can't understand it) just sit there with their mouths agape, not understanding nor questioning the bullshit being spewed all over them.

And that pretty much summarizes Cultfit. A bunch of morons who know nothing lapping up retarded doublespeak from another moron who knows very little.

Anyone who knows anything got ran out and/or slandered.

As usual, I'm slow on the draw and what I'm thinking has already been posted but I had to laugh at the part when he states he has all these PhDs supporting him and then refers to Wikipedia.

Now when I watch these videos, I try to spot the future IGXers in the crowd. They're usually the ones with a glint of life in their eyes and no drool on their chins (from mindlessly nodding with their mouths agape).

Watched the video, someone needs to draw a picture for Glassman. He is using such lose (despite what he thinks) and broad definitions that one could shove almost any exercise they under that definition. Everything is Crossfit as I recall one person posting on the CF boards.

Ha. At our DFW seminar this spring i plan on showing you how to make gravity your bitch. As well as the time-space continuim and progressive tax rates.

couch says he's created a fitness program that encompasses all three energy pathways and the 10 physical skills and makes one fit for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING...and then tries to run around an honest question that is asking, "don't you think your definition of fitness is a little BIG?"

Hard to believe there were actually educated adults sitting there listening to it.

"By what metric would you assess the stupidity of @F sheeple? I just don't see the magnitude."

Well, we do and can. Words simply cannot describe. The weak attempts of people to hang their @F hat on the one-dimensional community aspect while ignoring the elephant in the corner of retarded programming and management is beyond words...that big.

He didn't necessarily invent the pushup, but he was the first one to suggest doing it randomly, with terrible form, while applying the Weider superset principle with GHR situps. This makes you excel at all sports and probably will get you a 700 lb deadlift in a year or two.

BRILLIANT!

How else was he supposed to get up after crashing face-first into the ground?
