that was a freak accident that could have happened to any Oly lifter, and has. Ogars lift was early in the set, and a very manageable weight for him, had nothing to do with "CF" itself. Regardless it was a dîck comment. No need to make your point that way

Wait happaned to him?
 
Crazy prices for these cross fit places! I moved to a new area and was looking for a new gym and saw a few of those for no cheaper than 125 a month. I joined the Y, which is in an old Golds gym and it's the nicest gym I've ever seen. Deadlift platforms, multiple squat racks, rows and rows of dumbbells and more. For my wife and I it's 50 bucks a month, can't beat it!

It was stupid to have plates stacked right behind him. If he was in a clear space he never would have suffered the injury. This is on the organizers, who I understand aren't crossfit, but are associated with them.

he never touched the plates! He was actually a few feet in front of them, had nothing to do with his injury. You obviously haven't seen it or read anything accurate

He didn't but the bar did. There's a good write-up about this on t-nation.

It's important to understand that the accident happened on the first rep of a snatch with a significantly-sub-maximal weight. While the context of the competition may have contributed to overall fatigue, it was the exact same kind of rep performed by thousands of lifters everyday.

In my opinion, calling this a "CrossFit injury" is creating a quintessential strawman argument and does nothing to allow intelligent discussion. If Ogar had, as Glassman so elegantly forewarned, fallen off the rings and broken his neck while performing spasmodic kipping muscle-ups, then you could call it a CrossFit injury.

^Took this right out of the article... Sums up my thoughts exactly
 
Farkin New Years resolutioners just started thinning out and my gym runs a $9.99 a month special. Now it's full to the brim with dbags even at 5:30 AM. FML.

This time I'm trying EOD instead of ED. At least for starters... Running clen & t3 as well. I will be the guy sweating buckets and wearing shorts with 2ft of snow on the ground.

I thought you already did that??
 
Ugghh. Apparently UnderArmour had a sale on sleeveless gray Men's tops. Every freakin newbie is wearing them at least a size too small. It's like a herd of harbor seals invaded my gym.
Just a heads up: These shirts don't work like Spanx, fellas. Your man-boobs and beer guts are still in plain sight and nastier than ever.

Haha harbor seals!! Lol i have an UnderArmour cold gear outfit that i where to the gym often. I'd have to say it really is great lifting/running clothes so I can't blame them.
 
I have a buddy that works at UA that owed me a bunch of $ and gave me a lot of UA gear instead and I have to say I really like all of it, even the shoes are nice

the UA shoes are awesome!! I wear some hats and sweats but not a big fan of the tight shirts. I'm more old school with cutoffs, stringers, racer backs or just a tshirt

he gave me two compressions in the largest size, they strangle me badly, I really like the one tho (the Thor shirt). I usually wear it for back day and it looks stoopid. The loose fitting shirts actually fit me nice in an XL tho, they are comfortable and breathe well
 
so im finishing up my death to legs workout and this guy comes up to me on the leg press, i had two plates on it just starting out going for higher rep burn sets. So he comes over "how many sets you got left?" i said "4" and he just stands there ....... and gives me the oddest look so i ask him if he wants to work in and hes like "sure but throw more weight on". so at this point im like alright fine, toss another plate on, this guy does ****ing QUARTER REPS @ 3 PLATES FOR 4 REPS AS HIS FIRST SET. WHAT.

then i go and end up hitting 20 reps all the way down knees to chest, as it should be, and he gives me the weirdest tlook. wtf is up with this giving me looks.

i finish up and get the phuck out of there.

now im over doing calves and see him still on the leg press doing 8 plates on each side..... goes down for about 1.453 centimeters and reracks it.

****ing idiots, and ive seen this dbag before. he will talk to EVERY girl there. hes like 40 and he attempts to talk to 20 year olds his whole workout. who the phuck does that?

on a side note, saw some guy get 405x2 on bench going all the way down with no help, that was impressive.
 
Some dude yesterday was trying to lift 80 lb dumbbells on the incline press, couldn't even move them once he got them in position, then set them down. I asked if he wanted a spot, and he said no. Then he tried again and still couldn't budge them, then he pretended he was doing a row and reracked the weights lol.

Hey! I've got proof from broscience .com that heavy 1/4 reps provide huge gains, increased facial attractiveness, and larger genitalia. So :-P
