Bad press about people who put pictures bloody hands and people puking all over blogs and brag about how much pain they are always in. The press takes that and puts a negative spin on it?

The SF Weekly comments section is losing momentum, sadly.

Can you poop with your knees caved like that?

I wonder if Panda Express offers Zone options.

Tire Flip: You're doing it wrong.

I'm a glass-is-half-full kinda guy. I envision that tire being loaded with @Fers and shoved down a hill onto an Interstate highway.

The SF comments are amusing.

Guy from Tuscon (RQ, is this the affiliate there?) in his confusing defense (?) of Couch.

You have a beef with Greg Glassman, because he may have scorned you, called you out, didn't share his gin with you? Well why not use a public forum to express your disgust and lump everyone in who does CrossFit. A cult? Maybe... Or maybe people follow CrossFit because it makes sense and they see results, unlike the hours they spent daily in GloboGym twirling around like hamsters on a treadmill, or isolating their muscles like Elite Bodybuilders. Maybe the hundreds of thousands of people are willing to risk injury to make themselves better, be a part of something, just like Professional Athletes do every year.

Reasonable @Fers like Freddie stick out like a sore thumb.

As far as "elite athletes" go... I don't have any elite athletes at One World, but I have about 100 folks Crossfitting who are living happier and healthier lives. They are performing better at work and better at play.

In defense of Kelly. Couch...not so much.

I feel bad that Kelly and SFCF is getting lumped into a pot with hundreds of bad CrossFit gyms and a cult leader that is better suited for drinking, debauchery and ordering public executions of anyone that dare speak against his program or his waist line. The Hitler videos have given me hours of laughter and i look forward to more. The problem is in an attempt to battle a fitness program designed to forge weak and small dudes who train with their shirts off, we are damaging an excellent coach and gritty gym.

Robb has learned to toe the line while downing the program. He uses the @F banner as a draw and as a money maker (good for him). I doubt his programs look anything like main page @F.

For ATHLETES I approach things differently than I do for fitness generalists. The lion’s share of Glen’s work is Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics strength moves and fight training. His off seasons are classic “crossfit” but with my obvious biases.

Now what you are trying to say is, because I disagree on HOW to get somewhere or because I disagree with what HQ has to say on this topic or that topic that I’m not crossfit and it’s simply NOT the case. If I were a power lifting or olifting coach who had fitness oriented clients and athletes I’d use my tools at hand, with my biases well manifest, to reach the goals of the people paying me for specific reasons. The programs would have some similarity…it’s not really that complex.

So, yes, planning is critical for success. Yes we are a “CrossFit Gym”. I’m sorry but I do not know how to measure “CrossFit” Success any differently than I do for anything else. I tackle it one individual, coach or team at a time.

The rower's brother.

My sister, Erin Cafaro, did win a Gold medal in Beijing and she does use Crossfit. No, of course crossfit didn't make her what she is but it has helped in areas that she and many rowers are weak in. READ: This does not mean she follows the website daily. Just as Robb has done with his successful athletes, when Kelly or I program for her it is specific to her needs to perform as a rower. She rows with a team and often does her lifting and extra work separately. Was she successful before crossfit? Yes, two NCAA championships and a world under 23 world title. Did a better SC programing a la heavier lifting and circuits/intervals aimed at improving anaerobic capacity improve performance? Absolutely, more world titles and olympic gold as a member of a strong team. Sure she did some 21-15-9 workouts and helen, but no system made her the hard working and genetically gifted competitor she is. I will tell you confidently though that the principles of crossfit (which aren't new ideas at all by the way) sure improved her 2000m rowing performance.

I must have been preoccupied with other critical IGx business, but are you all saying that Paddy O'Donnelly is a virgin?

No, he is.

I hope he marries that Latino slut with the three kids and four STDs. At least one of them needs to bring some knowledge to the game. Marrying another virgin would be like two neophytes trying to teach each other snatches and jerks, so to speak. Guaranteed bad habits formed, lack of efficiency in movement, not to mention the possibility of injury.

[Hank Scorpio]

O'Donnelly better not let his mom find out he posts here. He'll get grounded for sure.

Pod's latest @fit endeavor. You know how virgins are always playing with their balls....

In her defense, she does have high elbows, a rarity in @F land.

I don't know this guy, a little Google-Fu leads me to believe he's the blogger for @F NW Tucson, which would explain the cult defense play.

Has ShariBaby found her soulmate??? Stay tuned!

I like how Couch is turning into the old, alcoholic uncle of @F. They vehemently defend the program while hoping Otis doesn't peek around the corner and piss in a geranium.

That is no chain-wallet wearin', mohawk sportin' dooche...but he does have neck tats and looks younger. Let's hear it for Shari...yay, Shari!

[TerryB]

I'm proud of ShariBaby and think she'd fit in well here, but her latest boi toy has the exact same face and neck structure as our petite, little ShariBaby.

does the @ in @fit stand for "auschwitz"?

Dead link to the Zone shirt.

Sage B. regrips the bar that way in her warmups. Since most @Fers learn their tech from videos, he's probably regripping for hang cleans. Or maybe he's trying to cheese grate his palms so he can fit in.

Somebody add some Emperor Palpatine lightning coming from that hairdresser's hands in the second pic.

Girl in pics 3 and 4 has a long, lickable torso.

Folks all over are using the gin reference. Awesome.
