this...i would say about 75% of crossfit population is beyond douchey, the other 25% are good athletes and cool people

when the programing is done right and properly how its supposed to be done. at a good gym with smart trainers it can make people fucking animals ike the games competitors, or get you in really good shape.

when done wrong like in most cases, it makes everyone hate it because it looks silly and people get hurt....hence the hate

 

This is impressive

this video leaves me questioning life and wondering what the fuck is wrong with people...and what the fuck is taped to the barbell?? a paper plate

 

I want to punch everyone in that video in the face
repeatedly

looks like a makeshift shoulder rest

 

It's called a Manta ray

 

I have never seen one of those in my life lol

 

It kinda helps with the positioning of the bar....if you use it right, unlike fuck nugget in yonder phag highschool vid.

 

Anyone used this?

a friend of mine does, he swears by it

never tried it though

 

Link doesn't work for me. What is it?

 

bench sling shot

 

I'm hungry as hell right now but there's no good food in my house

 

a giant elastic band that goes around your upper arm that provides support at the bottom of bench press reps
also kinda looks like a weird noodle in product pics. haha

 

Sounds pretty cool

 

OMG I'm full...

 

After reading an article on micronutrients and looking at the meal plan I've been following for the past few months last night, I realized that I'm deficient in almost everything lol! The only real vegetable/fruit I'm eating right now is a red potato and a banana. To solve this, when I make my bulking meal plan, here in the next couple days, I'm gonna try to add in as few things as possible that will help out. From what I gathered, simply adding these foods will meet or exceed everything:

Milk (biotin, B2, A, B3, D)

Spinach ( E, B1, folic acid, A, K)

Green beans (B6)

Bananas (B1)

Berries (C)

Broccoli (C, K)

Sunflower seeds (B1, E)

Beans (B1, folic acid)

Carrots (A)

Hopefully, I can incorporate some of this into my bulking diet, but probably not
