For those that don't know I made a bet that Mikko woulld win the games this past weekend. I was pretty sure he was going to win so I bet 200 burpees in a dress, this is what transpired.

Translation:

I wanted to fag it up in a pink dress, so I made a "bet" I knew I wouldn't win, acted put out when I lost, and made a video for approving @Fers.

Concise translation:

There wasn't really a bet. LOL. I just want some dick. XOXO.

WGM. @F involves lifting "weights". Women are afraid of "bulking up" and looking too masculine.

There is a very good reason why @FHQ would ignore Kristan. It's the wrong image, exactly the opposite of their "desired" result, regardless of how good she/he is at metcon.

That haircut doesn't help the case. The standard long(er) hair and bolt-ons would definitely change the situation.

HQ isn't happy about this. But they weren't happy last year, either. They want someone that looks like that Camille chick to win the Gaymes, but they ended up with a WNBA player (last year) and a chick that looks like Short Round (this year).

Clever has been dominating the scene for some time, and there's no good way to gerrymander programming to keep her off the podium. She's not on drugs, either. It just looks like a Caster Semenaya situation. Broad shoulders, tiny ankles. The non-herms don't stand a chance.

It just further reinforces that HQ are a bunch of hypocrites who don't really mean it when they talk about function over appearance and how they reject popular culture norms.

I mean we already know that, but it's still fun to watch them squirm.

Oh lookee, the "world record holder for box jumps replied to my email calling him a fraud:
I watched the video. I've seen it before. Here is the deal: 1. He is much taller than me. The world record was based off of athletes height to box height. 2. His video was not sanctioned by guinness or the world records academy. It takes months of paperwork too. 3. 56 inches isnt even my PR. 60.5 inches is my best. You might not know this, but you don't go guns blazing and hit the highest height. When "setting a world record "first ever" you set the record at a height that others can beat. Records companies want breachable records. Not impossible to beat records. Creates friendly competition.

Again this is based of my height to the box height. The man in the video would need to hit 63 inches to beat my 56 and higher to beat my 60.5.

Maybe you could research this stuff before you email someone next time.

Just a thought,

Ryan Moody

and
Lol. You um do realize that I have the plaque for the record. And that I am in the books for it. Go to www.worldrecordsacademy.com and type in ryan moody. You will see that I AM the world record holder.

you might want to check your facts before you claim you know what your talking about.

Do you have a plaque, Mr. Balls? You don't? Did you do months of paperwork? No? Then shut your whore mouth when addressing a WRA World Record Holder.

And the apologists on your facebook page are just full of shit. Seriously. The bottom line is, the winners aren't "pretty". Like someone else said, if Kristan had bolt-ons and booty shorts, it might be different. And Graham, well, he just lacks in the "manly" department. Maybe I'm wrong, can't find a lot of pictures, but he looks like he might shave once a week. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but HQ can't be happy with the average results of their "elite" claims. It just isn't very sexy and that was their claim to fame.

Are there any sports that both men and women play where the high-end performers don't end up resembling one another? Why should crossfit be any different? Ballroom dance? Bull-fighting? Maybe NASCAR.

I don't think so. That woudn't be the correct term. Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is the more likely explanation.

Yeah box jumps are great.
" In past attempts at different heights, i have put dents into my shin bones, split my leg wide open, nearly dislocated my hips, been knocked unconscious, and even lost layers of skin on my legs. The potential for slipping, or missing a solid landing, and falling is very high. If my footing on the landing isn't solid, or is misdirected often times this results in a legs overhead fall to the ground.
Of course the guy never really had a chance.
When I was 8 years old I flipped over the handle bars of my bicycle and landed face first on a sewer drain. I shattered my teeth, and permanently damaged my neck and back.
And since when do you measure a record based on % of Height.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller

Epic Douchebag. Good box jumper, but come on. Do you really think "getting an official plaque from a record company!!!!" means jack shit? Of course not. It means nobody has (a) bothered to think of your "event" as a "world record" sort of event, and (b) even if they had, they can't be bothered to look into how to go about "officially" getting a record.

How do you keep from falling off a bike and knocking your teeth out? By doing the WOD with 100 feet of handstand walking, of course.

Can you imagine the emptiness of someone's life, that their claim to fame is going through months of paperwork for a non-event and then watering it down to a percentage?

What the fuck do you expect from the likes of Pudding and Asstro? If there are two more shallow, lame dudes who work together anywhere else, I'd be surprised. Scraping the bottom of the class gene pool.

Is there anyone at HQ who could genuinely be described as "classy and decent"? Serious question.
