… but not this.

However this shit is so fucking funny I can’t let it go. Thanks to my friend for sending this to me.

crossfit doesn’t make your dick bigger, but it does make you a bigger dick.

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Thank you, thank you, thank you James for showing me this. I love you.
Crossfit is imploding. It’s even on Wikipedia!
CrossFit has been criticized for its perceived “cult-like” mentality.[1][6] Some fitness professionals[2][7] and a senior officer who commands the U.S. Navy’s Center for Personal and Professional Development[8] believe CrossFit workouts are so intense that participants risk […]

it’s not just my (former) gym

Apparently ALL crossfitters are not afraid of blood-bourne disease.

Man how I love cults.

CrossFit LA goes bragging

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Shortly after they kicked me out of the gym, CrossFit LA posted this on their website (thanks to a reader for alerting me to this yesterday). They are really proud of themselves for throwing me out.
Can’t wait till I find out who said they wished they’d thrown me out earlier. What an impressive way to […]

So I’ll just let him say it.

Crossfit LA: it’s the Kool-Aid or else

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

It is not my intention to be a dick, but at the same time I am a big proponent of telling the truth. This leaves me conflicted here but as always, the truth wins out so here goes.
As it turns out, I didn’t have to make a decision about what to do about CrossFit LA […]

what to do, what to do

Friday, December 19th, 2008

So this is me. I’m overhead squatting 125lbs, which is well over what I weigh. And as you can imagine, that feels pretty awesome. I can do things that I didn’t think I could do (yesterday I almost bench pressed my bodyweight, which has been another goal of mine). I’m stronger than I thought I […]

my gym isn’t afraid of anyone’s blood

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

The pull-up bar at my gym.
This is my gym, CrossFit LA. Maybe I’m a pussy, or maybe I’ve been to one too many lectures on universal precautions, but the sight of dried blood on the pull-up bars, barbells, and dumbbells really makes me stop and ew. Though I pointed this out to someone today (another […]

forging elitism

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

Sadly, something has happened at my gym (Petranek Fitness or Crossfit LA: Los Angeles - they changed their name to this redundancy a few months ago) recently and there’s been an epidemic of arrogance and egoism which continues to grow. I’m not exactly sure what’s happened, but I’m pretty certain they should change the motto […]
