Coupling Magnusson's deadlifting prowess, even in some sort abstract/obtuse fashion with CrossDouche, well...is just plain wrong.

It may intuit well that if you can pull 1015, pulling 250 for 21 reps at a high heart rate is a fucking joke.
It may intuit well that if you can pull a 250 pound deadlift 21 times coming to the lift at a heart rate of 180 beats per minute, then 500 pounds for a single at a resting heart rate is perhaps manageable.
Correct Version:
If 1015 pounds for a single at an aroused heart rate is observable, then it may intuit well that you can pull a 575 pound deadlift 22 times resulting in a heart rate of 180 beats per minute.
I can't even make a couch-speak joke out of this. What I'd really like to see is Benny step on Castro's chest and try to pull his arms off.

Heh. Try.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

Skinny 20 somethings w/ no tits or ass to speak of are a dime a dozen. The 25 pounds overhead or whatever it is adds nothing to the mix.

Anyone have pictures of her mother? Or her deliciously chubby sister??

Which one earns you the right to wear the bikini-briefs? A 65lb Sumo high pull or a 450-odd lb rack clean?

Quote:
At sixteen, Addie Kozlow and Christian Kloot are just old enough to drive. As their peers are using their newfound freedom to drive to friends’ houses, get drunk, and mess around—Kozlow and Kloot are hitting the WODs. While they may be young and new to CrossFit, don’t doubt them. They’re turning out impressive numbers in the Open.

My favorite:
Addie plays goalie for her high school soccer team, but finds herself sneaking out of practice to get in a CrossFit WOD if it covers movements that she needs to practice. Ever since finding CrossFit, she has set CrossFit and Olympic lifting as her top priorities. Addie says that her peers don’t get it. They think it’s just a workout, but it’s more than that to her.

The empirically-proven methods of @fit will no doubt turn these two into olympic-level athletes, given how young they are starting down this path. Assuming their shoulders survive.

Has any kid who has passed through @fit actually gone on to play collegiate sports?
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Not sure. But if they have, it prolly wasn't the ones that cut out of real sports practice to "practice" crossfit.

What ever happened to that kid from GSX who was raised on @fit since he could crawl?

Some unhappy and doubtful fire breathers over at @fit1World.

Check out the Superhuman post and the following comments.

I love it. I especially love the "HQ will take care of everything" bullshit that is being spewed by the minority.

I'm afraid Freddy is going to get kicked from the fold. I can't believe he hasn't already.

He actually failed to impress in the first Gaymes if I recall correctly.

I find it funny how, in teh comments on the oneworld piece, there were people saying that 135# or 155# thrusters would sort out the cheaters. 135# thrusters? really? Okay, I admit I haven't done them for high reps, but I can do 135# presses for reps pretty fast and 135# front squats aren't even a joke, so I'm not sure what's supposed to be hard here in the combo... Perhaps a broad mode domain is missing...

Freddy = good guy.

But.... if he has such a problem with @fit and what they are doing, why continue to use the name? You don't have to pay the annual fee to use it, he can just say "thanks but no thanks" and keep doing what he is doing without actually paying them.

It's always a marketing decision, and he probably still gets more out of using the name than he puts in.
