[I'd Hit It]

ahahahaahahahahaha

Yes, shoulder injuries for all!

[Holeyfraggaroley]

That dude destroying his elbow in the Olympics will pale in comparison to the jackassery that will take place.

[Cave Canem]

Hah! Was copied on an email that detailed this 2 days ago

And you didn't share????

[Shafpocalypse Now]

There was a condition that I not post it publically.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Yeah.

Burpees....sagging lumbar area, overall shitty movement mechanics for the majority.
Snatches...because it's for time, it's gonna be stiff legged rounded back ghetto power snatches.

Overall impact will be strained backs and shoulders.

I occasionally glance at things like the crossfit reddit, and it's always amusing to me to see the flurry of articles in advance that they post from their coaches saying, "EVERYBODY SHOULD DO THE OPEN," and all the questions of people asking, "SHOULD I DO THE OPEN?" (the answer is always "OMG YES") This is an utterly ingenious way to milk money out of these people. $20 and you can't even do the first workout. And even if you could, you didn't need to spend $20 to do it.

So what is the benefit of "competing"? something something broad time and modal domains more like birthday party. CASH FOR GLASSMAN.

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen!

If the thought of falling off the rings and breaking your neck is foreign to you....

This is a testament to the unknown and unknowable. Looking at the snatch/burpee WAD, I would've called blown discs and broken teeth, but hammies? Torn labrams? Nice!!! Pouring one out for the couch right now.

[Turdacious]

one guy dropped a bar on his teeth.

At least the bar missed the baby.

Any interwebs discussions of people talking about the injuries we could read?

I had a real one with a friend yesterday, an ex crossfitter. His wife was doing the wod as we were speaking. He said, "it's ok she's too weak to hurt herself"

Damn. Tearing a vagina lip must hurt like a mother.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Wow that's shitty fucking form

[Alfred_E._Neuman]

Wait, how the fuck do you score that workout? Jones said she got 140sumpin.

[syaigh]

Every rep, burpee or snatch, is a point.

[Holland Oates]

Damn I hate those belly flop burpees.

[climber511]

That's Sprinter Marion Jones? Dang - serving time and getting off the sauce wasn't kind to her!

Thank God Xfit is saving Oly lifting in the US.
