    in before the butthurt and accusations begin

    ::remembering the "hate speech" thread::

    :laugh: :laugh:

    If there is any real butthurt in this thread...

    ...they're doing it wrong.

    The same could be said of that thread. One little joke about cauliflower and all hell breaks loose.

    As soon as I posted that, I regretted it...or at least realized how valid reasons have never been a prerequisite for butthurt in the MFP forums.

    You're too logical. Reported.

    That's fair.

    The sooner I get my three strikes and am no longer able to participate in the forums, the better...

    ...for everyone...


    ...but especially for myself.

    I still don't really understand what crossfit is. Every time I look it up it says something different and i keep hearing about people getting hurt? From what I read I just imagine people partnered up jumping around a warehouse!

    I saw a sign advertising "Crossfitbanana" today, so these two gifs together are most appropriate.

    I'd say you pretty much got it in one.

    Now if only someone could tell me how assing around throwing barbells while using medicine balls as hippity-hops is more functional than "a heavy thing is on the ground, bend over and pick it up"...:noway:

    The only time I have seen this barbell catch "movement"...

    ...is in this particular gif where it is posted as a reason against crossfit.

    Not once have I seen it in a WOD...

    ...but still, crossfit bad. They want to injure you and video it so they can put it on youtube...for profit...or something.

    I'll let you in on a little secret... I've got nothing against crossfit. I even did a modified WOD one time several years ago. In my own gym, though, not in a box. The big beef I have with them is that nearly everyone who goes appears to turn into a cult of paleo member. And I have no beef with paleo, but it does not work for me. And I don't need them telling me I'm doing it wrong. I know very well how to keep my brain chemistry stable, TYVM, and it's not worth the risk of tinkering with it because of their imaginary-friend diet.. And what with studying quantum physics and cosmology and all, I like doing workouts where I don't have to count higher than 5. When my trainer gives me high-rep sets, I mock him with "What is this, crossfit?!"

    But my serotonin system is broken, not my sense of humor, so this thread is still funny no matter what I think of crossfit.

    You're right. The walls have ears.




    Whoa that went creepy in a hurry didn't it? :wink:

    I think I'd rather miss the ball than miss the bar...

    ...since that appears to be the door to the basement stairs.

    Also, those shorts. WTAF?

    I can't tell if it's a closet or stairs, but that's what I was thinking, too. And it looks like he's wearing wrestling headgear.

    No worries...

    ...there are still plenty of men for you to look at in crossfit too.



    (Oh, wait...maybe that isn't what you meant.)

    Also curious about this. And curious as to why the OP slams Crossfit by comparing it to "women".

    ^ Yeah, I didn't catch that. Although I think the OP she's referring to the is the OP of the misogynist quote. Not the actual OP.
