Feel like that should bring clarity to your bravado.So Chad benching 275 and Mattox repping 405 raise no eyebrows, but me putting up 300 is the most ridiculous thing ever...

Thursday Shorts:
- Looks like the Cubs are the team to beat this year. On one hand, I hate the Cubs. On the other, my passion for MLB is seriously waning and one of my lifelong pals is a born Cubbie (his late father is from Chicago) and I'd like to see him enjoy some success.
- You golfballs pumped about The Players Championship?
- May is usually about as consistently nice of month as you'll get around here, but this year-> [eyeroll]. 55 degrees on Saturday. WTF?
- It's been probably 10 years since I could have any idea what I could max out at on the bench. Looks like Boat made the mistake of taking one of my posts too literally.
- Not a HUGE fan of Moscow Mules or those copper mugs.
- Needed some bourbon so just picked up some Jefferson's. Thoughts from the bourbonheads?
- Cal is hard for this team because they're going to be long, athletic and nasty. As fun as last year's team was at times, I think Cal hated them. His ideal team is tough and defensive-minded. May be ugly early at times, but we're going to be tough to beat.

I could give an ish less how much weight I can actually pick up off a bar and move around. I just want to look like I actually workout.
My roommate is a crossfitter. He's top 5% in his age group so that's pretty cool but I touching hate everything to do with crossfit.

No, I know what I've done. Aside from the last 5 years, I was always in pretty good shape.
Pretty much. I do it for the exercise, stress relief and vanity. I know some fellas need goals and such with fitness. That's cool. It's just not my motivation.
If in 2016 you are still a cross fit animal you can lose my number
Why? A lot of people love it. If you're working out and find something that works for you, I'm all for it.
Last year's team was primarily a jump
shooting team that had to rely way too much on the 3 and was by Cal standards a porous defensive team.
Cal doesn't like jump shooting teams
that depend heavily on the 3 bc they're fools gold. When the 3's are falling you look like unbeatable but if you depend too much on the 3 you're playing with fire... I.e the Inidiana game. You go cold.. Done.
We were soft last year as a whole and practically had a non existent inside game.
Cal loves teams that are super long/athletic, a pack of dogs defensively and great at rebounding. Sprinkle in some good outside shooting to keep defenses honest--> 2011-2012.
Hopefully Bolden's a Cat and Monk & Willis can provide enough outside shooting. If that happens we should be scary good.

I believe stupid **** like this, and the cross fit games are pretty much why. Cross-fit guy is first cousins with softball guy, IMO.
That first gif is a guy trying to clean and jerk 315 lbs you fat touch.
FWIW, I don't consider you Cross-Fit Guy. Well, I didn't until that post.
Is it okay to ask why he's trying to clean and jerk 315 lbs?
Yes. True. And he's hated and ridiculed in every aspect of life.
Yeah, as he should be, but that doesn't mean everyone who does CrossFit is CrossFit Guy.
It's in a competition. Same as any other. Why did CC bench 405? See if he could, get stronger? I don't know.
It's become a sport, like it or not. Thank ESPN for that.
- I don't give a rats *** what someone else does to work out. But I find it hilarious (Chappelle kid voice) that people who don't regularly workout criticize the style in which someone else, who is in shape, actually works out.
But to each his own.
- PTI wants to laugh at me, fine. He runs 100 miles a week. He hits the gd pavement.

Stop taking up for people Chad! That's not what we do here! We pick a small thing out and blow it up and exaggerate! Jesus Christ pull it together.
Sorry I'm not in your corner, bro. Maybe I'm still a little sore about being told to, and I quote, "Die in a fire" earlier this week.
Whether you like it or not, crossfit does produce impressive results.
Most everyone I know that takes it seriously ends up looking very fit.
Unfortunately, I also have seen way more injuries associated with it than pretty much any other kind of activity.
So focus on that form I guess.

Where have you seen the most injuries? Shoulders are what would scare me the most.
Shoulders probably the most, torn rotator cuff and labrum. Herniated discs quite common. Bicep ruptures. Torn meniscus. Ligament tears in the wrist.
It's not like these injuries don't happen in weightlifters either, but the incidence is definitely more in the crossfit group...in my experience.

Ever see someone herniate a disc eating steak? Tear their rotator cuff flipping channels? Advantage fatties.
If you guys can't get behind making fun of those spastic looking weirdos in Chase's GIFs I don't know what to tell you. They look absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention crossfit guy tends to only talk about crossfit after a while and be extremely thin skinned about teasing him about it. In general the people that I know that did it become extremely annoying.
Oh, do crossfitters typically move out of their ****** apartments after reaching certain milestones? Do some of their kids get time back with mom or dad once they can clean/jerk 315 lbs? Instant raises at work for those who can deadlift barrels full of gravel?
Because that would indeed be impressive.
hey guys just a heads up I don't care how/if you exercise fyi fwiw gfy diaf xoxox
#realtalk what I do care about is what I see as a growing cavalier attitude towards basic rules of hygiene/personal appearance that seems to be creeping into some professional classes #brushyourteeth

I was speaking in terms of physical results. Maybe some of their success will translate over...
I have some good friends who are "into" the lifestlyle. They are pretty strict paleo dieters as well. She's mid 40's and he's early 50's. Both look 10-15 years younger than their actual age.
They invited me over for dinner one night with their crossfit friends. Definitely had kind of a cult feel to it...not gonna lie. But then again, health care workers are also pretty guilty of bogarting the conversation around medical stuff. Richie can attest.

Good stuff, SAE, and a great guy to go after with such a rant- the dude who went to school for 15 years through the military and spent time in the Middle East.
I can only imagine how akward that dinner was. A bunch of hard bodies in tightly fitting gym gear dropping WOD bombs and flexing. Meanwhile, drfatman is in the kitchen butt lugging vino and red meat in his plain white tennis shoes and dad jeans.
What an outcast.
What an outcast.
When in pairs or more it's best to avoid healthcare people and lawyers at social gatherings. Just a little policy of mine.
I'd definitely avoid lawyers in groups. They'll either (a) be so cynical and depressed they'll make you want to kill yourself just by being around them; or, and this is much worse (b) be law dorks and consumed with being a lawyer.
