Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller

xfit masters competitor/beaten wife Patrick McCarthy: owning a Crossfit gym is srs business
Joe Lengel, owner of CrossFit Toledo, was a two-time CrossFit Games athlete in the master’s division. He was murdered one morning as he was opening his gym. He was approached by five thugs, apparently with the intent to rob him, and one killed him with a shotgun blast to the chest. Forgive my liberal use of this phrase, but you don’t get much closer to being killed in the line of duty that this.
"Forgive my liberal use of this phrase" -- nope, sorry. Getting murdered during a botched robbery is a shame and a tragedy for Lengel, and his friends and family. But Charlie didn't sneak across the wire and bayonet him while he was doing wallballs. That shit could have happened just as easily on his way back from the AM/PM or outside a titty bar.

Ugh. Nothing to do with duty. There was no duty.

Glassman has a massive boner for soldiers and LEOs.

And, looking at it, he gets a lot of support for Crossfit in both those areas, no?

I think the embedding problem may be iPad related. I used to be able to do it on a computer.

Not so much...It hit it's stride on posts around 09-10. There are still groups that do it religiously but the amount of Vibrams and faggotry you witness on the day to day has decreased significantly.

Great commentary on Crossfit. Comedy gold.
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.

I love that the ref started to give the "no lift" motion before running over to help her.

Having observed Crossfit for approximately one month I don't see much difference between it and when my Drill Instructors at Parris Island thrashed our platoon.

Competing in CrossFit is very similar to the pit crew experience, where you have tens of thousands of people watching you and you have to perform precisely without messing up. It prepares me physically for the actual task, but it also prepares me for the performance pressure.

Seems to me that a Nascar pit crew demands insect-like specificity.
