Yeah, that's basically by design. Cossfitters pretty much consider getting Rhabdo as proof they're finally training hard enough. Crossfit is basically looking at all the science behind regular exercise that tells you how to do things safely and efficiently, and then throwing it the gently caress out and replacing it with GOFAST instead.

Additional info: if I'm not mistaken this result means that Netherlands has to win Sweden by 7 goals in the last game (instead of something like 3 or 4 which would have been unlikely but somewhat possible).

Because they brought it back as a special cross promotion with one of the most popular shows on TV right now, to the point that they actually made up new advertising standees and packaging for it.

They then only shipped out 20 packets per store, not every store even got their 20 packet allotment, and some managers stole their shipment to sell on ebay.

The military did a study on the feasibility of using special bombs to temporarily make people gay, so that the enemy would be too overwhelmed with dude-lust to fight. They cast a pretty wide net is what I'm saying.

I don't remember anything particularly stupid but it's been some years so maybe things have changed. I think the dumbest thing I remember was having PT conducted at the squad level which meant we had e5s who were just as lazy as everyone else in charge so we'd just go hide somewhere and bullshit until we could sneak back to the barracks. and the military doesn't like injured people because injured people mean they have to spend money on troops sometimes for the rest of the injured person's life. and that means less money for the F35

I get that marketing hyped it up and appears to have done a remarkable job. And McD woefully underestimated demand.

What I meant was why are people queuing up for FAST FOOD. I can see the restaurant's being particularly busy, but lining up out the door and down the sidewalk? For shredded and fried chicken with a limited edition sauce?

It's mind-boggling to me.

What are they studying excactly? :confused:

CrossFit, Inc. and the branded gyms are one thing, but the combination of weight training and cardio was not invented by Glassman, he just gave it a name and got people to pay him for it.

They will be doing crossfit rather than PT

quote:

Researchers with Kansas State University's kinesiology lab will track 20 groups of soldiers — more than 200 troops in all — over four years. Half of the troops will do by-the-book PT training, and the other half will get trained up in CrossFit.

One of the big things that make crossfit different from normal HIIT is the weightlifting element. It's also one of the major problems in crossfit because no one is ready to coach weightlifting after a six hour certification

I once got on the wrong bus (off by one digit) and would've ended up in god drat Raisio* but the driver threw me out on the city border because inter-city tickets cost more. Close call. Welp that's my bus adventure story god bless!

I get how the second one could just be unfortunate juxtaposition (if they had put the black woman on the right it would have been fine) but what the gently caress is the first one even trying to convey? How do you spin "our product will turn black people into white people" in a non-racist way?

Apparently it was supposed to be a whole 'Feel like a brand new person' thing, because there's also one (Or later in the same one?) where the white woman turns Asian... but it's seriously shortsighted and kinda feels like someone might have done it on purpose for controversy.

Any media or story that reaches a mass audience and has some type of deeper meaning will be misunderstood. Think of Jesus, who brought a spirit sword to destroy society and told us to turn the other cheek in face of violence. These days his supporters vote for Trump.
