Here's another good one:
Whats up everyone, I have not been on a cruise since I began eating Paleo. I know there is a ton of food on board the ships but I cant remember what "Paleo Friendly" options were available. Can anyone that has had this experience help me out a bit?

Thank you in advance!

Only if you're into whaling. And the only Paleo option is to spear them while paddling in a sealskin kayak.

Seriously though, the @fit Forumz have devolved to such a point that even other @fitters only go there to point and laugh. It's the fitness short bus; even SS is a distant second in sheer dumbassery.

I got to admit, I've never thought of using my desk chair for unweighted box squats. Those will certainly build some explosiveness. I wonder if anyone has a Westside template for those?

I wonder how quickly I'd be shown the door if I tried to pull this crap at work.

Paleo (n): a way of eating that guarantees at a restaurant you get your food spit in when you ask the waiter if any of the ingredients has any gluten in it and you refuse to eat the ribs because BBQ sauce has sugar.

NorCal Margarita (n): An asshole Paleo way of justifying alcohol consumption by acting like you are superior than the others a the bar who drink that sugary sour mix shit, but they forget that alcohol causes inflammation as well, so all that gluten-free, sugar-free, tons of fish oil diet is thrown out the window with that drink.

Anyone who goes on vacation and worries about staying Paleo needs to be beaten with a bag of flour.

The dude in the video looks like he belongs in a half marathon rather than teaching "fitness"

a few points...

1. Desk chair "box squats" are stupid. Do a fucking squat, all you have to do is move your chair out of the way. Leave the box squats to the real squatters, not the people who are skinnier than 12 year old bulimic girls.
2. If you are that busy where you have to workout in your office, chances are you are THAT busy where you can't workout in your office.
3. Nothing screams productive like wasting 20 minutes during the day doing squats and shit in your suit and tie.
4. I'm sure your boss will love the idea of you flopping around like an ape on company time.
5. I'm sure your next meeting will love the idea of you coming to your sales call with sweat stains on your tailored shirt.
6. If you can't find a fucking gym on a business trip, you are an asshole.
7. I think the guy in the next office over will love the sound of your shoes hitting the wall trying to get into a handstand pushup position.

Finally....

8. I take people more seriously when they are not wearing a backwards cap, call me old-fashioned but that's just me.

Its another example of some random fitness "expert" trying to think outside the box too much.

I used to work 4 jobs. I was a Union Electrician going to apprentice school 2 nights a week, trained people parttime, bartended 2 nights a week, bounced 1 night a week, had rugby practice once a week and played on Saturday. My schedule was booked tight as shit. I still found time to lift 2-3 days a week. I made the fucking time. Anybody can. I used to leave work at 3:15, go to the gym down the street from the Hall, lift for an hour and head either to school or home to shower up for the bar. I was probably in the best shape of my life because I was still playing 80 minute games at a D1 level in the front row. When people say they have no time, they are making excuses, there is always time.

Working out in the office is a copout and a way for some random fat fuck to justify actually trying to workout.

Would you mind expounding a bit on the idiocy of desk box jumps when you get the time?

It's nothing more than typical @fit attention whoring. This faggot doing box squats in his office is accomplishing nothing other finding something else fucking stupid to talk about when someone asks him what in the fuck he is doing.

If some says hey Ed why are you throwing that med ball/shot, I say to try and improve my throwing. I don't have to give some 30 minute diatribe about how I am an eleet caveman.

Brother Jay is on fire!

I have a Swiss ball in my office. I sit in it sometimes because it's better than my chair. that's not the reason I really have it, though. When the busty women in my office come in and ask about it, I tell them I have a bad back from sitting in my chair and I need to lay back on the ball a few times a day. then, of course, they try it themselves. "oh, this does feel good on your back." Always the gentleman, I'll say, "It's here anytime you need to use it."

I think that LaLanne was smart and would do it quietly and with plausible deniability:

"Want to try beating me at swimming? $100 to each of you that can beat me, one-half mile out and back."

Somehow during the swim each of them would drown. Mysterious and sad, but these things happen.
