Saw a guy today wearing a Crossfit San Marcos shirt. When he turned around, the front read "snatch is paleo".

I couldn't help but laugh.

Ah yes, the oh so clever CrossFit innuendos...

Bet he's had a lot of practice at the clean and jerk.

Our Crossfit gym is run by two women, who happen to be a couple. It really shouldn't make any difference to anyone, but... Fortunately, the biggest way this has played out is that we have absolutely NO cocksure, arrogant wanks (don't want to be told what to do by a woman, especially not a gay one) or any Lycra, fake tan and make-up bimbos (no buff gym guys to impress)

Yesterday when I was at the gym, there must have been about a dozen of us training. There was a LOT of barbells in use, plenty of pull-ups going on, discussions about training and nutrition, highfives and slaps on the back for jobs well done. A really healthy, supportive environment.

Best bit was... It was all women. The first guy didn't show until just before I left. :D

I really love my gym!

Was training on Saturday at my local gym...just doing my deadlift thing and saw 2 things:

A PT training with a client, getting her to do squats on the smith machine...it looked awkward and painful to me but I'm not a PT so just watched on my rest 

 

3 lads doing bicep curls...using as many of the 5 kilo weights as they could on an ez curl bar...I don't know if their form was good but I was pissed off as no one else in the gym could train with 5 kg weights as they'd stolen them all...I was so mad I hulked out and lifted a personal best on my deadlift 120kg!!!

 

So I guess in some ways it was helpful!

 

Overheard in the bar that night:

 

One of my mates who'd not seen me for a good few months commenting on how buff I now looked!  Damn good feeling!

My local Crossfit is Crossfit Green Box. Pretty much the same color.

Didn't see this so much as I did it myself.. It'd been raining out and I was wearing high heels. So I come in and somehow slip, almost fall, almost get my balance back, sortof fall again and doing multiple steps at the same time towards one of those machines where you train your legs by opening an closing them, hoping to have something to hold on to. Then, I did fall landing on my knees with my head basically in the crotch of the dude using the machine... So yeah i murmurred something and quickly went to the dressing rooms feeling pretty embarrassed.
