Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Originally posted by pelagius View PostI've come around on Crossfit. I like it. I'll probably never do it, but I like it. I think if I did it I would suffer a catastrophic injury within a few weeks (it's not Crossfits fault I can only engage in a 2-3 different movement patterns at this point in my life).
Furthermore, as mormonism is to religion, crossfit is to fitness. For example:
1. Founders that are considered prophetic by members and pretty much crazy by outsiders
2. One true chruch/one true fitness regime.
3. Crossfit costs are the fitness equivalent of a full tithe.
4. Highly centralized/top down authority structure.
I enjoy crossfit for what it does for me. When I am able to schedule my time to be at THE BOX three times a week, it gets me in better shape than anything else I've tried since high school. But as I've said before, I'm not afraid to refuse to do a certain workout if I'm not comfortable with the movements (for example, I rarely do snatch and absolutely refuse to do workouts with excessive reps of snatch for fear of my form breaking down and seriously injuring myself). I also don't buy any of the clothes and pretty much don't participate in the open unless I feel like it. I guess you'd call me a cafeteria crossfitter.

I don't remember if I've already shared this (so I doubt anyone else will, either), but i was running one of those ragnar-type relay races a few years ago and we were in a parking area waiting for our runner to arrive when we noticed a van of crossfitters. When their runner got to his finish line, they handed him a kettle bell, at which time he went into a deep knee squat routine fresh off his uphill run. I couldn't help but be impressed with his athletic fortitude, but I also couldn't help but feel a powerful urge to kill him with his own kettle bell for being the biggest douchebag I'd ever seen."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

So one of my good buddies who lives in Utah is raving about Orange Theory fitness, which I guess it's fairly popular out there. I hadn't heard of it (no locations in Dayton) so he told me about it and I looked at their site. I called him back and asked if he was going with the old Bloodhound Gang trick to try to get chicks. No other explanation for why a dude would want any piece of that.

Go watch the last 4 minutes of Ben Smith's 16.2. It really is exactly that.
