True story, the only woman I never dated beat me at chess. I should have proposed on the spot. It was a real simple Chess ender too, was like lol gently caress your knight, checkmate with a queen and a pawn ffs.

How have you missed the pages & pages of gifs & pics of men failing at weights in this thread?

I know a couple in their early 20s who make considerably less than 6 figures combined and they do crossfit. The woman was already skinny and attractive. The guy works in construction and was already ripped from hauling stacks of shingles up ladders all day. I think the only reason they're not injured is that they're both under 25, and were both in decent to pretty good shape already.

I think for them it's just a trendy form of exercise and they're young so they have no idea what they're doing or that they're paying way too much.

(the S is for skeleton)
A crossfit gym moved in to the space next to us at work. They are THE MOST OBNOXIOUS neighbors to have. They refuse to put in any soundproofing (it used to be warehouse space), and they don't give a poo poo that they're right next to an office and they shouldn't really be there in the first place. So we get to listen to their loud music and grunting and yelling and dropping weights all day, since it comes through the ventilation system in a weird way. They're constantly breaking property rules by running all over the goddamn parking lots and pretending they didn't know it was a problem. Someone tried to take a video of them loving around in the parking lot, and they claimed they were being harassed and threatened to have their "lawyer friend" come after us. They even got an off-duty cop who's a member to come over and try to intimidate us, because we did... nothing? I loving hate crossfit thanks to them, and the fact that it's actually a piece of poo poo is also bad.

A friend of mine tried to do crossfit and they actually wouldn't let her do exercises when she couldn't do correct form, so apparently there's at least one crossfit group out there that actually does make sure their members are doing things safely, but it sounds like that's incredibly rare.

You need to call the police on them, they're definitely violating some ordinance or other. And on-duty cops are a lot better than off-duty ones for getting poo poo done.

has anyone actually tried to defend crossfit yet because if you think it is better than normal strength training or has any legitimate reason to exist at all, even if you aren't doing the stupid poo poo, really then you're a dipshit

Crossfit is a sound mix of plyometrics, strength training, and circuit training for people for only have 3-4 hours a week to spare.

A lot of people who get attracted to crossfit are wealthier and don't have a lot of time. They're exactly the type of people who are arrogant and don't listen to coaching and believe they're capable of anything. In my experience maybe 20% of males have good form, and these are the guys who stay injury free. The rest burn out one way or another. Blaming that on crossfit is unfair, because they would do the same thing in any weightlifting regime. We've had one injury in a year, and it was some rear end in a top hat trying to push a ring muscle up after he was told not to do them until he'd mastered a foundational movement.

Not surprisingly, women are less arrogant, more receptive to coaching, and better about staying within their limits.

Judging by what I see on the facebook, crossfit does indeed make a lady look much more attractive, but it comes with the downside of making your life totally revolve around crossfit.

This one chick has dated and broken up with 2-3 fairly fit/decent looking guys within the span of a year because they "just didn't get it".

Also 95% of all facebook posts are crossfit related. All liked by the other crossfitters, and nobody else, because nobody knows what the gently caress they are talking about with all the acronyms and numbers. Or gives a poo poo.

She does look fuckin' bomb tho.

Is that what it is? Just image poo poo? That's not a reason to exercise, that's a reason to seek counselling. You should try to get healthy to live a happier, more energetic life. Also, there was a chick I worked with who told me she was weight training to "fight off attackers" and I rolled my eyes. You're 5 feet tall and half my weight. I could kill you in an instant.

Misdirection and lack of education are rampant in the "get fit," movement. People who commit to this genuinely feel it will help them, because they aren't aware of the implications and reality of the useless of some of the exercises.

If your friend is half your weight then it probably is a good idea for her to bulk up a bit, don't antagonize her and these people for their attempts to achieve their gender roles as healthy/attractive individuals.

source your quotes



if this is actually your post, then no. It's not "sound" anything, because the only requirement for a regime being "crossfit" is a 2 day training course and a subscription fee. Some gyms have trainers who received instruction and experience elsewhere, and those gyms are good DESPITE being crossfit, not because of it. Other gyms have "trainers" who don't even know what good form looks like, let alone being capable of spotting and correcting bad form, and have been specifically pumped up and told to make people push super hard, and couldn't recognise a dangerous exercise if it bit the on the arse. Their FOUNDER blames people for their own injuries, mocks them and reclassifies the workouts that nearly killed them as children's workouts.

All the pictures of gyms with dogs wandering around, and people lifting weights while balancing on yoga balls, and getting run over while pulling trucks, all those are crossfit gyms because there's no oversight, regulation or credentials requires.

isnt crossfit the one where you quickly bend and thrash around while lifting weights? like a quick jerk of you back while you toss a 20lb weight in the air and catch it?

also what's zuumba? i had a health nut professor who kept talking about it but i cba to google it because goons probably have a funnier description of it anyway.

back when i played football you just lifted a drat weight if you wanted to get stronger :( now everything sounds weird and dumb

I call mine "digging the garden". You go to my garden, dig all the beds out but you attach weights to the spade and kip the digging with a yoga ball. After you're done, you mow my lawn by pulling a ride on mower behind you, don't worry, if you're not a PUSSY it probably won't run you over.
