Shit girlfriend I better get on it. Didn't realize my 2-3" jump when doing doubles was considered piss poor and noneffective. Since I wanna be Efuckinglete too, from now on I'm jumping a good 8"-10" like this guy! :supz:

Not anymore, unfortunately. Lots of ink in the youngest generation of SF (by that I mean US Army Special Forces, rather than the all inclusive SOF), including plenty of sleeves. There was a time when folks avoiding getting tattoos. Some still do, but not like before.
The big no no was having your DD214 tattooed all over your body. As many learn in SERE school, kind of hard claiming you're pvt joe snuffy, company supply clerk, while a POW; with a Ranger Scroll and Ranger Tab tattooed on your arm.

I had tattoos while in, but never got anything military related, for the reason I stated above.
Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of the free man from the slave.

I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

A local crossfit adherant just injured his back doing high rep power snatches. I saw it happen.

Yes. Snatches are something one wants to do for time in a fatigued state. That makes complete sense.

So where's the cut-off between a clean&push and the "overhead anyhow" they will be contesting?

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.

Well, clearly if there are no standards, there can be no bad reps, it's a Care Bears Picnic where every rep is a winner!

I am actually still amazed this thread is almost at 1000 pages. Has there even been a fitness movement more universally loved and hated as @fit?

No, it's like a Strongman Competition: you don't get points for form, and all that matters is the points. So why bother with petty details like form?

It all makes perfect sense if you just shove your head up your ass.

IMO, there certain things in life that you lie about, or at least don't show publicly. This is such an example...

Cave Canem wrote:The following is a public service message from the founder of the CF Masters facebook page re: the Gaymes;
The time for accounting is upon us. Now, we will be measured. Now we will be exposed. Now we will be seen for what we are. And, what we are is a CrossFitter. We do not hide from the light of judgment. We do not slink along the corridors out of sight of others who might view our acomplishmets. We proudly write on the white board of life the evidence of our effort. We declare ourselves to the world in time and distance and total weight, and rep count. We expand our environment by projecting our performance into the world for everyone to see. We offer recognition to our fellow CrossFiters not to agrandize ourselves but to encorage each other to continue and strive. To exert maximum effort in all things.
We rise each day, seek the sun and then, with one heart and mind, strengthened by each other and our own sense of power and pride, built through our community, strike out to be the best we can be. And, if at the end of the day we can say, we left it all out there, then we have done all we can do and are happy to sleep, and do it again tomorrow.
So rise today, register if you have not already, and participate. Work hard, post your numbers. Tell stories about the effort and enjoy each other's company. You are not just one of your fellow men (or women) any more. You are a leader, a beacon, a guiding light for all who know you and can see you to follow. You chose to make your life better. You chose to help your friends and family be better.
Make a statement about the human condition through your effort. Now go.
Seriously, where do they get these people ? Especially people who should be old enough to know better. Sweet Baby Gorilla Jeebus, it's just a damn exercise program.
