I'm pretty sure Progenex isn't going to sponsor the games this year.

This is getting really entertaining.

Are Reebok's due dilly people sleeping or are the already aware that the other major sponsor of @fit is seriously dubious and plagued by scandal, not to mention that happenings at HQ itself tend to get a little goofy?

I say Reebok is going to walk.

Why don't we start the IRG (IGx Recovery Group) and step in when Reebok bolts. @fit Gaymes brought to you by IGx...

Hey, WGM, in all seriousness.

This dude needs a feature on Andro Friday, Blocky Tuesday or Penis Having whatever day. An article about Jason Khalipa gets 15x more replies than an article about her "snatch?" Make working out more like a birthday party indeed.

Well no doubt, considering that they appear to be losing $97 on every $60 pound of protein they sell.

Holy crap, it's been a while since I've looked at the injury forums, but it would be comical if it weren't so terrifying. Rhabdo, rhabdo, SLAP tear, "SDHPs hurt my shoulder"... I realize a lot of crap happens to anybody who wants to train (we all have a list of injuries) or just wants to live (we aren't made for desk jobs), but, seriously, what is wrong with these people? Why is anybody ever getting rhabdo?

I've given Kris more press than HQ ever has. To the victor go the spoils, I say. In the aftermath of the Games we already covered how she's gotten shafted relative to the way HQ promotes their other stars.

She also doesn't seem that keen on me making a big deal out of her on Team Gorilla, so I have to respect that.

I'm actually surprised that you guys haven't hit it off yet. You've got a lot in common.

You both spend enormous amounts of time goofing off on training forums thanks to having spouses with highly paid jobs.

You're both obsessed with and fascinated by the Iron Game.

You both have enormous numbers of people who either like you or hate on you.

She, on the other hand, sets goals and achieves them with almost frightening focus. So I can see how there might be some friction there.

Regardless you guys should really get to know each other.
Good point. Shafley is all about teh abz and forcing his kids to eat hummus instead of birthday cake.

WGM, you can have your concubines pimp your site on FB all you want, but you can't expect such blatant attention whoring to go unchecked here.

They don't understand their market. @Fers would gladly cover that differential and then some.

Clever is a fine example of how to be a winner. Deep down she knows she got the raw deal from HQ in favour of the prettier and flashier ones, which is fucked up. Who gives a shit that she doesn't have long flowing hair and looks like Camille? She won their games.

So she keeps quiet, stays out of the spotlight, and trains hard. More of those narcissistic idiots could take a HUGE cue from her. I applaud her and I hope she wins again.

I hope she wins too, but for Couch's sake - you know he's not going to be able to use her as the typical walking endorsement of @Fit to wimmenz.

Figured this was apropo, from the Reebok website:
Cute bottoms are athletically inspired for daily activities.
Indeed.

There were some awesome tidbits in there. A bunch of good stuff from the old supertraining discussion group.

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.
