You know what, you OT ballers are right. No one would ever want to be as athletic or aesthetic as those guys.

99.9% are on juice... Don't get me wrong it still takes hard work and a clean diet to have bodies like that, but don't kid yourself about them not juicing...

mean come on. Let me sit in my living room and follow this hyper active weirdo and the guy with a fake leg.

Who has the fake leg?

About time you showed up to bash hipsters

hell p90x for most ppl is the anti-cult, i do it alone at 6 on the morning

i think the whole beachbody thing was designed to do it at home to fit a busy schedule, but i've seen group workouts at places like gold's gym

i never liked the gym setting or working out with a group. even when i was in school and played ball and HAD to lift/work out i felt distracted if i was with a group.

i may give crossfit a try one day, trouble is most of the ppl i know that do it fit that cult mold, i need to throw it down with LE

Kipping pull-ups are something they recommend doing when pull-ups are in the WOD.

Today had 3 sets of 20 pull-ups around a 12-10-8 deadlift/clean rotation.

If you're in BR (not sure about NOLA) you could have had 5 free crossfit classes at any CF gym in BR in the month of July. They called it the fitness crawl to give people a taste of CF workouts to see if it interested you.

You still have a chance for 3 days free if you so choose.

Are those rotating pull ups something that is taught within the cross fit routine? You know the pull ups that use a shitload of momentum?

---

yea they are taught. WE also do strict pullups as well.

there's a great debate to whether the other ones are dangerous are not. Im not the lightest dude(about 208), so im pulling a little bit of weight. Ive never felt anything abnormal doing them TBH

yea i have a couple of those

I am not a hipster, but I do the latter. I don't post workouts, refer to them as WODs, when people ask where I have been I say "the gym", and I have yet to have a single injury because I have been slow to increase weight on the bar and have listened to instructors who are extremely knowledgable and have had much more than a weekend of training.

There are definitely people who fit the "cult" description, and they are just as annoying as the P90X commercials that I wake up to every morning because I fell asleep with the tv on again.

grip strength is underrated
