"Can I work in with you?"

Yeah, I guess so.

"Thanks!" *proceeds to take off a 25 plate and a 45 plate on each side, does 3 reps, doesn't put the plates back on*

that would be annoying if they changed the weight, or did not at least change it back

the rule should be if you can't finish and return it to my former weight by the time i'm rested up for my next set THEN BEAT IT

My friends and coworkers tell me that I'm crazy and take counting calories too far.

The thing is I'm not that anal about it and last Friday I consumed over 4k cals of beer and rich and fatty food.

Maybe tracking my food intake at all is what makes them think I'm crazy.

I knew a guy that only consumed protein shakes and rice, because that way he could control his caloric intake down to the gram. He probably had an eating disorder.

My mom can't handle the concept of scanning food into MFP and looking at serving sizes, so im p sure its the latter

like, she's tried thrice and fallen off the wagon each time because taking 10 seconds to scan barcodes is haaard

One of my friends who's getting back on the health wagon said that it was too stressful for her. Which I guess I kind of get. For me it has been more empowering. That added since of control really makes a difference for me.

I went to University with a guy who had an eating disorder. He would hover around the dorm kitchens and be like "what you got there? Looks delicious. Can I try?" Took a bite then would be like "do you know how many calories is in that?!"

He relapsed and had to withdraw midway through his first semester. Never saw him again. Poor guy.

What are the benefits, if any, to kipping a pull-up?
It allows you to continue the exercise past the point of failure (which may happen after a small number of reps if you use strict technique).

It's a similar concept to doing drop sets:

But the guy you're trying to shame is stronger than you and gets paid by crossfit. Probably doesn't hurt himself with warmup weight deadlifts either.

That dude's going to have some SWOLE(n) rotator cuffs brah. Ladies love a joint that sounds like its full of gravel when it moves.

edit: I kind of feel that crossfit is in the same league as mud running and krav maga, all things that people who have jobs and families and responsibilities would do to feel a bit hardcore and superior to their peers. Much like how I lift weights as a crutch for not having a personality.

Would you like to have a pullup contest? 1 set, strict form, you choose the grip, loser eats a 1 month probation?

Alternatively, keep bagging on a hashtag from a dude that is undoubtedly much stronger than you, and getting paid for it. You're seeing the trees, not the forest.
