Fraction Weights - where to get quality ones from?

[MBasic]

Now that is what gets me dissapointed. I used to believe SS coaches were the most informed ones around the web.

WHO created the first Crossfit RIG system ?
Who created the strap safety system?

It might surprise you how many products of Rogue are just a shadow copy of mostly 3 other brands. And no they have not obtained permission for (at least some of) these stuff. I have personally asked the creators.

I own a small construction business. The John Deere salesman used to use this argument:"Deere was the first inventor/to build a tracked excavator"... But yet CAT is the world wide leader is this area for as long as I can remember ...so what who did what first....pointless

Yes, because I'm sure no one else ever thought of making round circles of metal to go on the end of steel poles for the purpose of lifting them. I'm sure that's an idea original only to the manufacturer who is no longer making them.

Really, any other things you want to waste time on?

Thagg may have a intellectual property rights case/ law suit here....his round rock with hole in middle dates back to 10,000 BC

Hard statistics then: WHO invented the first crossfit Rig and the strap safety system?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm sure it is. Rogue are just a bunch of hapless imitators. Out of curiosity, what is a "CrossFit Rig." Once we arrive at an acceptable definition, how would we determine who built the first one?

The idea to bolt together racks into one big piece of economically space-and-tool-wise piece of equipment know as a RIG.

The EXACT SAME RIG with the exact same j-cups and holes were Sorinex's design.
The sandwich cup, the safety strap system and even the landmines and wrist rollers were 100% exactly copied by Rogue.

Elitefts can make their own shit however they rarely if ever steal with no pre-thinking. Do you really believe elitefts cannot affort to create some of the products they sell from different brands??

Imagine i get the exact insides of the book starting strength, shoot my photos (same idea, same angles and etc.) and i put my logo on it. Don't give me the "well it will be copyrighter bla-bla" because with some minor tweaks you can get away with it. Heck i can even get the WFAC logo with just a bit of vector changes so it does not fall under the copyright laws.
And i sell that shit.
What would you think of that??

[Tom Campitelli]

Firstly, why are you so mad? Secondly, how do we determine who came up with "RIG" first?

[Steve Hill]

Bitter much?

Your example is laughable on its face (tell me, what do you think of Stronglifts? Rhetorical question, I don't want an answer) as a book is a different thing from a piece of painted metal.

I'm still laughing at you thinking the idea of making a 1# colored plate is somehow unique, let alone patent-able or worthy of copyright.

I'm going to let my inner Rip out and say it's time to shut the fuck up, you've been given suggestions, please go buy some plates and train.
