This. Unless something of note happens, it should stay off the front page.

Some pregnant white woman picks up 50 pounds and the Internet outrage machine hits "I hope the children of NRA members get shot at the mall" levels of mouth frothing indignity before you can say "there's more important shit to be worried about".

Everybody on both sides of the argument needs to back away from the screen and go take a walk outside.

Maybe you should go into social work.

He was a squid, dammit, don't belittle my beloved Chair Force.

They go buy a ten class series. My work here is done.

The Rhabdo Post

Posted by sexyasfuck

Wow, what a week it has been for Rhabdo and Crossfit. My facebook, Twitter, IG, MySpace, MOL, and aksjeeves.com accounts are flooded with discussions about rhabdo. I know there are people out there waiting for what I have to say about it. I don’t want to write about it. I hate reading about it. But in order to hopefully end the fucking endless discussions or at least mitigate them I present to you my take…

Bottom Line Up Front: There is so much else wrong within the Crossfit community, why the fuck would someone focus on something so rare?

List of shit wrong within the Crossfit community that is worse than Rhabdo

1. Complete retards are opening gyms. For 1000 dollars and a weekend (plus 3k to HQ and some other bullshit) you can own a Crossfit gym. People who know even less about fitness, if that is possible, will trust you to teach them how to get healthy, olympic lift, powerlift, do gymnastics, and a ton of other bullshit. Less than 1 percent of Crossfitters get rhabdo. But more than 99 percent of Crossfit coaches are complete retards.

2. Steroid Use. WWE has more stringent drug testing procedures.

3. Inappropriate coach/client relationships. Raise your hand if there is an affair happening at your gym. Keep your hand up if that affair involves a coach or owner of your gym. Keep your hand up if that person has ground guts with a coach/owner of more than one gym. Your hand is still in the air isn’t it?

4. The struggle to invent new shit. Ring rows from rings suspended from your partner’s neck, partner deadlifts, people suspended from barbells whilst others lift them, and the list goes on. HQ has created some stupid shit. But nothing like the retards hosting competitions come up with every weekend across America.

5. Safe movements performed dangerously. Box jumps and depth jumps, when performed correctly, are a great way to build explosive power. Pullups are the king of upper back workouts. Sumo deadlifting is a real sport. But somehow you turn these into a contest for time. And ruin the fucking gainz.

6. Using the word “Elite”. Its all over the military too. Elite Marine Corps and Navy units. Have you ever seen what 99.9 percent of the military does in a “Combat Zone“? Shit would make you laugh. Have you ever seen what 99 percent of Crossfitters call elite? Shit makes me laugh. Rich Froning is elite. That fat fuck who has been “Forging Elite Fitness” for the last week, is not.

7. Alienating everyone who knows shit or refuses to take a Kool-aid IV. Rippetoe, Wolf, OPT, Beastmode, Naked Crossfitter, and probably more. Sorry if I left you out. The best leaders kin the word take criticism and make changes if needed. They laugh at jokes. And they sure as fuck don’t execute their knowledge base. Stalin did that shit. So did Hitler. And the mother fucking Al-Qaidas. All of these people Crossfit has made fun of in a video btw. (LULZ @ that video for comparing Mark Rippetoe to UBL.)

Recap – Rhabdo is serious. People die from that shit. People also die from gonorrhea but that gets spread around the boxes like a paleo brownie recipe and no one says anything. There are major issues with Crossfit that need to be addressed. Dwelling on Rhabdo is equivalent to worrying about illegal Candians in the country when we have millions of people starving and without proper education.
