Wow, this thread must have been a foreshadow of my back workout today. Luckily my gym is devoid of crossfitters, but one of the regulars had his brother in town. This kid is 21, in pretty good shape. Trains hard. His brother seems to be the same age but is apparently a crossfit instructor. Looks to be the make equivalent of a cardio bunny he also does pushups ever now and again. He talks his little triad in to doing burpess, dumbell cleans, then pull ups. He wanted to time them and said "I'm going to smoke you all." Well his two buddies finished only slightly behind him. So I ask them "was that a race?" and "who won?". New guy says "yes, I did" and explained what they had to do as if I couldn't tell. So I then stated, "but you didn't do any pull ups, only they did. How did you win?" This was right after I over heard him talking about me, how I was only cosmetic muscle, no legs (even though my thighs are over developed for my upper body and one of my calves is bigger than both his arms together). So I walk over, he obviously was concerned I over heard. That's when that conversation happened. He walked off without saying anything when I said that, I talked with his brother talking about how there is no "end all be all" training, how cross fit actually looks fun, then as he brother walked back he said "yeah, I think it's just a fad". The I walked off to the pull up bar, did a set of 25, did some split stretches flaring out my quads, and left.
I feel Get Big low now, oddly, feels good...man.
