Whats wrong with crossfit?

[Jonathon Sullivan]

You're a guy, be honest: does it really make much fucking difference what they wear? We look at them anyway.

There it is. [/argument]



Edit: Dammit. I've gone and done it again.

Hey! You're not supposed to be posting in this thread!

Like I said, it's Spar's fault. I haven't said the C-word, now have I?

To be perfectly honest I don't typically stare at women or look at them in the gym, I make an effort to not make them feel uncomfortable and will typically divert my eyes an put my attention towards the weights not what they're doing. But when a woman dresses in booty shorts and sports bras I feel they have forfeited their right to complain if they get looks. Perhaps that's why it bothers me, you're giving them the benefit of the doubt and trying to treat a woman in the gym as an equal and with respect. You think they're there to lift like any of the men are. But there she is in booty shorts, knee high socks, and a bra screaming while lifting an empty bar. Jesus just come in tomorrow in a fucking catholic school girl uniform, maybe a dominatrix outfit will really help you get that fucking bar up...

If the shoe fits wear it you fucking prigs....

? I must be dense; I have apparently missed something...

Edit: Oh. Yeah. Right. I'm dense.

Ok, I'm out, for real. This time, I promise.

It's okay Sully. It's tough not to tell Tbone she's awesome, sometimes.

My wife is my training partner so wandering eyes could really get me fucked up. I find myself just staring at the floor in between sets to play it safe.

The fact that they post this without realizing how offensive it is to not only animal rights people but to hunters and anyone who has any respect for animals at all is mind boggling. I don't ever take a photo after a kill and certainly would never do it with dismembered parts and blood coming from the carcass.

Oh poor Micky, trying to be all respectful, but those nasty bitches in their tight tops make him all flustered.

A "serious lifter" is defined not by their clothing, but by their approach to lifting. If the person uses basic compound movements over the fullest possible range of motion, and has a planned progression of the resistance, and they work out on a regular basis, then they're a serious lifter. The length of their shorts doesn't come into it. As well, a serious lifter is focused on their lifting, and is not easily distracted by others around them, whatever they're wearing.

However, a guy doing leg presses and curls should probably not be lecturing anyone about what a serious lifter should be doing. A serious lifter will if they believe they're injured seek detailed medical advice (more than a GP's "um, rest I guess" - and here's a clue, if it's your lower back, leg presses and glute-ham raises will fuck it up even more than squats!), or if it's not serious enough for detailed medical advice harden up and ignore it, or get coaching to ensure it's not just their shitty form hurting them, instead of wussing out.

The floor. That sexy, sexy floor. huuuummmm...

[hsilman]

i take it you're one of those people to whom i'm referring, who sounds like he's constipated and can't quit get the turd moving

I'll be sure to ask your opinion next time before I groan while squatting.

There's a big difference between someone who yells at every rep no matter what the weight, and having to grunt/scream hard against the valsalva because the weight is actually hard FOR THEM.

WildGorillaMan friended PETA just so he could repost that picture and tag them in the post.
