Can you spot the crossfitters in the crowd?
They do make themselves known.

The whole thing is full of lulz but that humble warrior shit cracked me up.If you're reading this it's probably already too late. You're a member. Of the cult. Crossfit. The exercise and elite athlete training phenomenon that is infecting the health and fitness industries as well as pop culture at large. Well guess what? We're addicts too, as well as filmmakers, and decided to combine our passions and bring you the first fully scripted show set in the world of Crossfit.
"Crossfit Hollywood" will be a TV style drama, released in ten minute episodes, that follows a Crossfit team as it competes to get into The Games.
We're focusing on the professional sport, and not just the exercise. As any Crossfitter can tell you, completing a workout at this level of intensity demands extreme commitment, and while we have no problem poking fun at some of the goofy rituals in the box, the sport itself is no joke. Our aim in making this show is to pay respect to the ethic of Crossfit, to the incredibly supportive community and the humble warrior culture it breeds. We want you to feel like you're right there in the gym, pushing past your limits, re-defining who you are, finding your place on the team and in the sport. Kind of like Crossfit itself.
front should say "it was no accident Allison NYC rhymes with Tits Magee"; back should be glasshole with his best Otis the drunk face where a number would be, across the back instead of a name "what, me worry?"Gary John wrote:Reality and satire can't keep up with each other.
Flavor Flav's chicken empire is collasping, kind of what will happen to Glasshole when X-fit joins the dumpster of history.
Would like a reality show following Glasshole around. Him being what he is, contrasting all the bullshit X-fit claims to be. Gimpy drunk vs. uberwarrior fitness hype. His picture should be on the back of every X-fit t-shirt, put any slogan on the front.
Yeah, those two look like idiots, but shouldn't they be closer to the starting line? I mean, due to the intense nature Fran, Cindy and Fight Gone Bad, they're both gonna finish the 5k in under 17 minutes, right? They should be getting ready, not just milling around with the average insect.j-cubed wrote:Did a 5K charity run today

On that spring day across America, the CrossFit faithful gathered--and toiled. There were hundreds of thousands of them, certainly. Maybe a million, maybe two. In an old industrial facility in New Orleans, they hoisted themselves on gymnastic rings and did dips up there. In a strip mall in Santa Cruz, California, they threw 20-pound medicine balls against a wall over and over again. In a business park near the Dulles airport in Virginia, they pushed weighted barbells above their heads, first once a minute, and then as fast as they could for three minutes straight--or until they couldn't lift their arms.
Meanwhile, in a bar called El Borracho, the king of CrossFit finished his tacos and ordered a second margarita.
Great caption.ROLE MODEL Glassman is no longer living the life himself, but he inspires fierce loyalty in some of the world's fittest people.
I was forced to do a lip sync and "dance" on stage by myself to that fucking Barnum song in the 8th grade...can still feel the trauma.JonnyCat wrote:Laughing all the way to the bank. Barnum was right.
It'd be fun if some of this shit ran afoul of the IRS.Glassman reigns over this rampantly growing horde like a tribal chieftain. He now owns 100 percent of CrossFit and answers to no board of directors. Cash tends to race through the company. Until recently, the Glassmans each drew a salary of $750,000 a year; the travel and entertainment budget is in the tens of millions of dollars, and Glassman also spends money on what he calls "brand statements," including a set of $15,000 single-speed Swiss bikes and a $350,000, 1,500-horsepower fully customized 2011 Camaro convertible. (Before our visit to El Borracho, I followed him to a meeting to see about another "brand statement": custom luggage for his senior team, emblazoned with Uncle Pukie.)

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing to think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
