Those Freaky Crossfitters

So I've been "doing" crossfit for about three weeks now. My first week, this is what my coach told me:
1) While doing front squats: "Put that up on your meat shelf."
2) While doing deadlifts: "Just get it up 2 or 3 inches, it will come after that."
3) While doing squat snatches: "It hurts when you put a squat in your snatch."

There has been a whole lot of other innuendo and I've died every time because I can't comment. You see, this is a Christian Crossfit gym I've joined.

Is there any other "innuendo" I should prepare myself for before I kill myself mid rep when someone shouts something out?


DISCLAIMER: I'm new on this group and hope I'm not violating any group rules.

    The snatch jokes are so played out that rather than smirking or cracking a smile any more, I just find it annoying. I am sure there are other little jokes but I can't think of them right now.

    I imagine it's even more played out because of MFP and the obsession of weight lifting versus "crossfitting". That aside, I still find a lot of other stuff quite funny, just can't think of it right now. Problem is, that most of this stuff is being said while being encouraged to go for more reps and it's actually killing my concentration. I'm sure it will stop being funny after a while.

    My thoughts as well. That wouldn't work for me. I cuss like a sailor, especially when I miss a rep I think I should have nailed. Which happens often.

    I am a lost sheep and I cuss along with the best of them, but I do have control over the words that come out of my mouth. It hasn't been an issue yet. I'm sure I'll leave them with mouths wide open one day.

    I live for the freaky innuendos. Never fail to lighten up a rough day. Just gotta take it all with a grain of salt.

    I imagine so, especially after a long hard workout.

    Christians can't talk about sex or enjoy innuendo?? Wow. That sucks.

    It looks like you haven't come across a jerk yet? I think that's the other most commonly snickered-at movement name. I've never had it break my concentration, though, mostly because if a coach is talking to me, I'm tooooootally listening. I'd rather not break myself.
