You just want to post images?? Its not difficult. Type "
". Just without the quotation marks and without any spaces.

Also, I'm eagerly awaiting Arlechinno's post in this mother.

Given that I pretty much disagree with everything they are and promote I will say the one positive thing I can. I'm very grateful for the exposure they have given weightlifting.
 
Hate it with a fiery passion. Reasons:

1. Teaches bad form on major lifts
2. Includes major lifts into cardio cirquits, therefore taking away from what they are meant to do (build strength).
3. Lack of prgraming
4. Cult like mentality
5. Lying about how CF is the training style for elite atheltes and special forces
6. Teaching strongman lifts to people who are still learning how to squat and deadlift.

Bro when you're squattin' two plates you're obviously qualified to pick up the 180# stone.

Seriously though when I found out they had 165# stones I was pretty surprised. The only time I had ever seen one before that was a strongman I trained with who made it for his wife.... to warm up with....
 
I want a Log and some stones. Those events seem fun.


Legio, IIRC you were using a log in that montage. What brand was it ?

Pitbull. It's one guy who whips the stuff up at his home workshop. He has some of the best bang for the buck SM equipment out there, IMO.

The only contact info I know of off hand is his old myspace page.
Alan Benninga (Pitbull Strongman Equipment) on Myspace

When I dealt with him the guy was extremely nice and helpful. Got my order out to me straight away. Log, yoke, farmers. All arrived five days after ordering.

Some people make stones but the best way to get them is to find someone local who makes them. They're out there. Go stalk the marunde muscle forums and you'll find someone.
 
Sweet, I'll keep my eye out.
 
As someone who was here in 2006, I can say I don't remember it ever being well accepted with the strong/knowledgeable posters in F13.


A quote from Urban in 2007:
Urban said:
Why don't you just do the WOD if you're so interested in crossfit? IMO, the whole thing is myopic, overly random, non-specific, and innefficient. A better route would be to spend a couple years learning to train for real and create your own crossfit taylored to your needs.

I have it dvr'd at the house and was going to watch it when I get home in about 20 minutes. Sucks for me. Oh well, at least the Patriots lost. Would be super bummed if the result got spoiled and the Patriots won.
