WOD


Crossfit lingo at its finest. Did you really workout if you didn’t post your WOD on social media?

Well, yes for the Masons, for CrossFit all you have to do is go the the Y at 5:30 in the morning.

Crosssfit is for people who don’t have the desire to learn how to do the exercises properly. Terrible at cleans, terrible at deadlifts, terrible at squats, just plain fricking terrible. The Crossfit games are the biggest displays of people doing ridiculous and dangerous exercises for no reason. Stupid sport.

Not all gyms are like this. I would say all the ones I coached at took pride in their OLY lifts.

I agree with the games. It’s dumb.

However there are some legit OLY + CF gyms here that have certified weightlifting certs and you won’t get a regular bar until you have mastered the lift with PVC.

Yeah? Do they teach you swing your body like a fricking retard when doing pullups or dips?

I’m assuming you’re talking about kipping?

Yep. Not allowed at both gyms I taught at. If you can’t do a regular pull-up, you’re set doing negatives or ring rows.

Huh. Well maybe I’ll cut you some slack. I generally vehemently hate the sport for puting snapping spine city on national TV, but you guys teach that your Lumbar is not supposed to actually look like an L, then we’re cool.

Yeah. These gyms are hard to come by. I miss my gym so much.

We never did stupid WODs like 85 snatchs for time. Seriously. You take your time during Oly lifts. This is why people get hurt.

Why do they turn powe movements into an endurance exercise? Never got that.
