On that note: Forged Clothing's attempts at being edgy have made themselves a caricature

I can't believe how bad they fucked this up.

Whoever is in charge of marketing and merchandise in regards to the @fit/Reebock deal should be fucking fired.

I can't believe how funny this shit is.

they should be promoted actually... @fitters spend money like crazy, this is marketing gold for them.

That being said, this shit is wicked overpriced and it goes to show you that @fit doesn't give a fuck about the average trainee, they give a fuck about money... just as every other corporation does.

Fucking Saran is a big fat fucking liar and here is the proof. Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!

Holy shit, someone drag up those quotes about how Reebok won't change anything. LULZ!

Couch is laughing at the utter ineptitude of his chosen successors.

If it comes out of HQ's mouth, its bullshit.

The gubmint tells more truth than @FHQ.

I am amazed at the lack of design in this shit. @fitters are the Affliction of the fitness world, they dress gaudy, want flashy colours and catchy slogans, they want to stand out, they want their clothing to yell, "hey, I'm a @fitter motherfucker... screw you and your million dollar NFL contract you fucking specialist piece of shit... I can do a 'Fran' faster than you faggot"

It's confirmed. Crossfit really is just adult daycare for white yuppies.

Heavy kettlebell squat cleans can be difficult with shorts that don't give.

If you have to squat to clean a KB or even two KBs you probably need to squat to pee.

I've heard that chlamydia, herpes, and HPV are running rampant through the sexually promiscuous @Fers. Hey, even though you're stupid enough to be doing @F, do yourself a favor and practice safe sex. Just because he or she looks clean, doesn't mean they are clean.

Andrew Wilson said STDs will be the next thing he starts tracking, since he's had about 25 emails talking about it.

******SORRY! THIS IS NOT A NEW TREND, BUT RATHER A REVISITATION ON THE TOPIC, WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY APPEARED IN THE COUCH THREAD.

I'm waiting for hepatitis to show up via the bloody equipment, or other blood born disease.

They just have to make sure and use the Reebok/@fit rubbers-- only $72 for a four pack box.

Anyone notice the '74 on the tshirts?? I thought it was just a random year thing that clothing companies love to throw on shirts marketed for the kiddos these days.

But no "CF est. 1974" WTF???

ridiculous, that's the supposed year when couch rambles about how a 14 year old gymnast discovered how doing muscle ups, deadlifts, and quarter mile runs made him the fittest motherfucker in the world.

Dude, they shouldn't be fired. I wouldn't be surprised if that store does $5 million per year. At least. It's fucking stupid, but fuck it's like printing money.

Maybe it was to commemorate the first time Couch read supertraining...

maybe the year the copyright ran out on John Jesses's book?

No, 1974 was when John Jesse's book was published right down the road from where Glassman lived. I can see a curious ring-boy picking it up and stealing it wholesale.

LULZ.



It's available from Bill Hinbern for ~$50. I wish someone would scan it some we could distribute it.

Maybe they are going after similar demographics as Lulumon, only people that are eleete instead of yogi's.

Is a pre-op tranny really the best person to model your women's line?

can't remember what i was watching, but some character on said random tv show was referring to his local meat market as club mydia. could easily refer to many a xfit box.



"heheh. he said box."

Why is the douche in the shorts taped up for fucking air squats?

There are a bunch of post by Saranwrap about how Reebok won't change anything. I posted on awhile back, not sure if this is the same one

"It's always entertaining to listen to the experts on this thing (Yes, Jason Ashman, I'm talking about you). I don't recall you being in on the drafts of the agreement I was in on, but good on you for "knowing" and "explaining" it's ins and outs to all of us - who actually helped negotiate and draft it. Right now, I think I hold the only execute copy (on CF's side) of it in my file cabinet.

Let the "sell out" cries come. Whatever. We've been approached by dozens of companies offering massive amounts of cash to buy up affiliates, or regions, or other aspects, and all have been politely rejected. I still have the rejection letter I was asked to edit to a multi-million dollar TV deal from a major production company a few years back. And the "wheelbarrows of cash" mantra is always funny to me. Always written by people who have exactly zero experience in business negotiations. There was no giant check handed over to CF. None. I know, I was standing there at the signing with Coach, Reebok's Chairman, and their attorneys. Didn't happen.

And just to prove how little the naysayers know, Reebok and Adidas are owned by the same parent company. THEY (as in the owners of both companies) made the decision to select the marriage for CrossFit and Reebok - not Adidas.

As to the original point of the thread - I was there when Graham signed his sponsorship deal (as in at Reebok's HQ, not in the room). Graham is a great guy and ambassador, as well as being very conscientious about trying to represent himself, CF, and now Reebok, as well.

As to how this came to be - it's quite simple (mostly). Reebok HQ had some CF'ers who were high up in the food chain. They basically brought the idea together quickly and Reebok's management clearly was enthralled by the Games. Now they're the title sponsor. I have not received any "direction" from them, nor has anyone at HQ, about how to run CF - notwithstanding Mr. Ashman's claims that it is inevitable and that you all shouldn't kid yourselves. Reebok wants to be associated with our brand - and I may not care for "toning shoes" or some of their other products - but so what? They're the first company that's really put up or shut up when it comes to sponsoring CF and elevating it and being willing to stand behind it.

What I don't get is that no one was b#itching about Under Armour and its plastic-y shirts or shoes when they became a sponsor. No one thought the sky was falling then. But now because it's "Reebok" - the world is ending. Talk about amusing. And hypocritical. But the more important point is that there is NO "perfect" sponsor, whom everyone in CF is going to like or believe "fits" what we are, but it's time to grow up a little bit and join the adults at the big table for serious conversation. Reebok has shown they are committed to elevating our sport and athletes to a level that no one else was willing to - in short, they were bold and "got" our vision - and they have gotten behind it. As far as I'm concerned, that puts them way ahead of almost every other company we've spoken with. And I always think of it this way - what's more likely to happen: CrossFit(ters) to become "Reebok-ified" or Reebok to become more "CrossFit-ified"? The Games was streamed free last year and it is not a cheap event to put on, in terms of money or man-hours for CF. It could consume the company as it grows. We needed a sponsor for it - anyone with any business sense could see that. Voila. And Reebok agreed to sponsor while letting us control every aspect of it - i.e. running the event OUR way - and went way further in terms of their commitment to CF and CF athletes. They LOVE us and they genuinely want CF to help them remake their image from the Olivia Newton John, step-aerobic image that they can't seem to shake from the 80s, into something authentic and about fitness. Read up on this company (and their origins), you might be surprised (first company to sponsor an African American - Jesse Owens at the 1936 Berlin Olympics). They also dig what we've done in terms of elevating and empowering women in fitness. I'm not embarrassed, ashamed, or concerned about our relationship with them at all.

End of my rant."

There is so much wrong in his fucking retarded rant.

He has to be the dumbest lawyer alive... no wonder HQ loves him.

Then again I wonder if their lawyer interviews consisted of two questions:

1. Do you worship Glassman?
2. Are you a douchebag?

If you said yes to both, you are hired as official legal counsel to CCCFHQ.

I'm still amazed at what a shitbag Saran is. There are a lot of crappy lawyers out there who say a lot of stupid crap, but I can't imagine even the lowest barely-licensed attorney ever engaging in public debate like this about a client.

Y'all are faggots. I'd gladly move that ball out of the way and let her squat down to my face. I'd have to "no rep" her a lot so we could work on that depth.
