Oh yeah, hahah, I agree with you all the way. I won't sit here and defend Crossfit. Like I said, I'm a notch below those guys (maybe more than one notch) when it comes to the insanity factor. And yep, you have people paying for the pedigree to run a brand-name gym who may or may not have any business managing anything at all. I'm sure release papers are signed upon applying for gym membership, but you have to wonder if there's still room for lawsuits if the fad keeps spreading.

For training, as with anything, you need to know your limits. Trying to hit your max (or higher) after you've been doing other taxing activities? Not really a good situation to put your body through. Especially when it's televised. The chicks lifting 365? Yeah, I've never deadlifted above 275, but I also didn't look anything like that while doing it.

Anyway, I'm on a cut now. Lost about 11 pounds within the last two months. Mostly fat, but also a bit of muscle mass. Still lifting big, but eating at a caloric deficit. Jesus, this is the most bro paragraph ever typed up on Hubski. Maybe even the whole damn post.
