I knew that would get a response out of you. I personally don't like crossfit because:
1) The moment 95% of people do crossfit more then a week they automatically become the grand authority on working out at least in their minds anyway.
2) Those same people talk sh!t about how everyone else's workout is inferior because it isn't crossfit, while flailing around looking like an idiot and not even doing the d@mn exercise right.

Now an actual issue with crossfit itself:
1) The movements seem entirely too jerky to be good for you, and yes I understand some exercises require a jerk motion i.e. clean and jerk.
2) The majority of the cult around crossfit seems to promote doing halfa$$ed repetitions because they are too worried about quantity over quality.
3) The crossfit games further the quantity over quality mentality.

I think if done at a decent pace with more controlled (non flailing) movements and quality stressed over quantity it might not be too bad for you. Of course there is one other thing that crossfit denies like no other. Uncle Rhabdo, now I completely understand that can happen with anything done to an extreme but it seems to be more likely in crossfit due to the mentality surrounding the program.

i think it really depends on where you do xfit, it seems like a lot of places that xfit isn't huge this is happening. around here xfit gyms are basically like families, we have dinners, competitions, fund raisers etc. and no you can't do xfit until your trained correctly which gets rid of those people that flail all over there selves like monkeys with weights in there hands. i agree they willl absolutely hurt themselves.
3) The crossfit games further the quantity over quality mentality.
incorrect, if your doing the exercise correct you can do both, rich froning best xfitter in the world 2 years running, this man can work out like a kenyan running a marathon and have the best quality out there in every exercise, if you are doing the skill correctly your workouts will exceed from that, not mentioning if you don't do it right ti doesn't count for a rep. Until you have gone threw a full ONRAMP course or a level 1 i'd highly recommend knocking on it :D

Well, as all of you who have me on FB have seen, I'm officially on final countdown to no longer being with Verizon Wireless. I'm going to Maxor Pharmacy in the IT field. It's a raise, a field change, and, most importantly, it's weekends off. Unfortunately it means I get ZERO vacation until after 10/28/14 so, no off-roading trips next year, though, we can still try to set up another deal in Amarillo next spring if everyone wants to...

Given a situation like you're talking about where the gyms actually train people before letting them do crossfit then I can see my 3rd point being invalid. At the same time though if it's a place where it isn't huge then I could see the mentality getting more out of control because of the games.

Our crossfit gym in Altus has multiple classes for levels of experience and health and the trainer does a really good job emphasizing form in the earlier classes. I think that when they do get intense that the competition gets a little in the way though. I had to stop for money reasons but I liked it at a less intense level.

Damn, I missed all the crossfit talk. I do P90X and Insanity hybrids plus mtn biking, trail running and general training for mud runs, etc. I flat out destroyed the crossfitters in our gym at work last spring but in a good way. These 20-somethings saw a 40 yr old crush their workouts and were awed and inspired. Now they are inspiring me as I rehab from ACL surgery. Not knocking crossfit in any way or saying my workouts were superior because that isn't true. I can't wait to go add crossfit to my workout repertoire and mix things up. I have to catch back up to the kids!

Ok guys need some feedback here. My heater doesn't blow heat at idle, once I accelerate it will. Talked to a mechanic back home he said it could be my mix is off on my antifreeze, air in the system, or the heater core starting go. He can't look at it so he just going off me talking about it. What's the general opinion on this.

When I had air in system I could hear a gurgling sound behind the glove box - usually when driving and had similar symptoms. I found a how to on tnx to burp the system. Can't remember the steps but parked on an incline and opened a burp valve. The newer model years self burp (technical terms not coming to me this early). Definitely check your fluid levels, mix and then burp and recheck before going to the heater core.

That's what I was planning was to drain/refill before doing the core. Might as well try the cheap easy fixes first.

Greetings, from the "happiest" place that'll send you a puffed rice cereal treat on a stick when the company meets revised revised revised sales expectations instead of giving out raises or bonuses.
