I sure hope the local personal trainer school that wants me to teach realizes my lack of knowledge before I taint their students' raw minds.ButterCupPowerRanch wrote:Quack has an extremely limited understanding of metabolic energy pathways.

I wonder if the child workers in the [Reebok] sweatshops where this new gear is being made know about CrossfitKids. Maybe they could bang out a few WODs in the dark between their 15 hour shifts...

Damn:
As for "Reebok-wear", let it come. And if they're apparell heads are looking for general community feedback on where to start, I'd welcome the opportunity to give some input on ladies' sportbras. Nike and Champion are kicking Reebok's butt in this area, designing for women who've sacrificed any sort of breasts for broader lats and pecs.

I mean, if there's no breasts, what's the point of a sportsbra anyway? Let their buff chesticles do the job!

At the end of the day, why would Greg Glassman do something (e.g. partner with Reebok) that he thought was not in the best interest of his passion and own creation, Crossfit?

Integrity and Glassman in the same sentence- the very definition of oxymoron. Let alone the promises part. Couch's promises are as solid as the Greek economyReebok symbolizes progress; a natural evolution of CF that will make us far more than we could have become on our own, if managed with the integrity Glassman promises.

Spot-on other than this...these are actually damn tasty and a great way to drink too much without getting a hangover. Sugary drinks kill me the next day...drinking good liquor like this doesn't. It's also far closer to a real Mexican drink, so it's really more like a "real margarita" than a "Norcal margarita".Jay wrote: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.

pretty sure the fuckery going on with the judging is all just about conditioning the koolaid kids to accept whoever hq wants to put on the podium. kinda like the tsa is getting us ready for the fema camps.WildGorillaMan wrote:She's the fucking Terminator, or the real-life version of Francine Fransky from the kid's cartoon Arthur: the hyperathletic kid who always gets picked first for every team.Gin Master wrote:Shit.

Exactly... so why make up a name for it. Just say "Tequila with a half lime squeezed in" to avoid the sour mix shit.JohnnyBadAss wrote:Spot-on other than this...these are actually damn tasty and a great way to drink too much without getting a hangover.

Late this afternoon, CrossFit Oakland was informed that we can no longer operate at our new location due to unforeseen permit issues. This means no clients can enter the building for any reason, including using the restrooms.
The city has agreed to let us hold workouts outdoors until we can resolve these issues or find another location. We plan to continue with the same programming, but hold the workouts in the parking lot until we can come up with a better solution.
Obviously, this is a very disappointing setback and we regret that we must inconvenience our clients in such a manner. We apologize profusely and thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility. We will keep you informed as we progress.

New WOD Idea!
Submitted by Justin McNulty on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 09:42.
Lets do farmer carries from the new CFO parking lot to the dumb asses office building in Emeryville that inforces this crap. Then we will play loud rap music, take our shirts off, and make sweat angels post WOD on the front steps of city hall. They have no idea that if they f*@# with my CFO experience I will bring this fight to there door step. Keep us informed because I know we are all willing to help with whatever needs to be done to keep our place of health and happiness open.

Damn:
Reminds me of this Doc I watched a few years ago about the Mardi Gras beads and how they were made by farm girls in China relocated to a factory and living in dormatories. When they camera guy told the Chinese girls that girls in the US show their tits for these beads and that people paid more money for a bag of beads then they made in a month you could see a few reactions from these girls.1)question and express total disbelief 2)smile and giggle 3)seeing hope leave their bodies as they realize the life of despair that they will live in a shithole Chinese factory.
