Re: The couch thread
The article itself is far too long and complicated for the average reader, and yet couch lets his besotten old man rage on about global warming in a FITNESS JOURNAL.
The comments from the sheep are what make this an @Fit classic.

Well at least they keep up the comedy part of the Journal. Couchfit: we invented keeping records.Bony Pudding wrote:Daniel,
This is a fitness Journal. The fitness definition that we promote is the first in the industry that is based on measurable, observable, and repeatable (MOR) data. MOR data is one of the primary criteria of science. Prior to CrossFit, there was no one practicing this kind of science in relation to an overall definition of fitness.

Re: The couch thread
I don't understand why narcisistic train wreck and potential Gaymes Champion Amanda Miller doesn't get more attention in this thread.

I don't quite know why I'm happy today but maybe because I started my study drug yesterday and I have high hopes for it making me feel better for awhile at least. I found out my belly was swelling because my liver is failing. It's quite painful when the doctors don't want to do anything for it. I just lay in bed all the time. I'm just waiting until these meds kick in so it helps. Decided to post up some pictures on what it looks like. Most people just say "hey Amanda now you look like me" but for those of you that know me.......this is about double in size and trust me it is. It's an extra 8 lbs and it hurts. Well mom here is the closest you'll get to me being pregnant...hehe. That's what I would look like, no thanks.

My doctor reassured me that this drug is only a temporary fix and it's only a matter of time before it doesn't work anymore. I talked with my father for awhile yesterday and my doctor and I think I'm going to start the process to get myself medically retired. I still have to talk to a few people about benefits side to see if it's the absolute best option but overall I think it will be the decision. I haven't told my chain of command yet and I'm not until I make my final decision, so those of you that read this and know my chain of command do not open your mouth because this is not final yet, thank you. I have to say that because it seems I've already had a problem with people going behind my back and doing things that I don't approve of because you didn't talk to me first. If I do decide this, my doc says it can take 6 months so I'll still be here for awhile. It's just kind of hard to justify staying away from family to be at work when I started dying last week. I know my work is like family but they can't fully wrap their head around what's going on. I mean, still expecting me to be at work? Really?! I'm having to take leave just because I can't be there because of what I'm going through.
I know I'm blabbing, sorry, just wanted to give a good update. I don't go back to UCLA until next Sun. I get readmitted then for another 3 1/2 days and then off to hopefully a normal life:)

She's dying of melanoma and we could probably find someone better to fuck with.

Best wishes to her family.
couch, you are a fucking asshole of the highest order. Fooling people into thinking that "work capacity" is equivalent to their "health" status. This woman, RIP, was in your Gaymes JUST LAST YEAR. You really should read more REAL science about just how much excessive exercise, particularly endurance exercise (like your precious @F has turned into), is suppressive to the immune system. At least DeVany understands that much.In this two part lecture, Coach Greg Glassman unifies fitness and health. This lecture is the first time we’ve published a revolutionary new component (a three-dimensional model) that has the potential to both redefine and unite the health and fitness fields forever.
Health can now be concisely and precisely defined as increased work capacity across broad time, modal, and age domains.
Best wishes to her family.
Re: The couch thread
Don't worry Gorilla, it was obvious from your first post that you didn't know. RIP Amanda.

Re: The couch thread
What about the lady who dropped from an aortic aneurysm while doing @fit? Is that a great example of achieving supreme fitness & health across broad modal domains?
Re: The couch thread
Damn, that's awful. Melanoma can take you very young; I lost my BIL to it. Being a redhead doesn't help the situation either.
Condolences to her family and loved ones. RIP.

Re: The couch thread
It sucks, no doubt. However, don't beat yourself up about it if you didn't know, right.
The whole "broad time and modal domain" shit has gotten phenomenally stupid.
