Sticking in an order on iherb, what brand of coconut oil would you recommend?

Kev M

Brilliant.

He must have bought synthol from Greg Valentino!

His forearms are tiny in comparison.

Yeah, they often mention popeye, but its the reverse of popeye, who has huge forearms and tiny upper arms.

What a truely sh1t article

While its fun to gawk and mock him, what Schlitte has done is actually quite ingenious. If you think about it, by only increasing the size of his one forearm and no other part of his body, he has allowed himself to arm wrestle in lower weight classes, even though his arm is as strong or stronger than much bigger men than him.

He has some sort of bone disorder.

kevpants

Another one. Stupid b1tch.

deadlybuzzman

Seen a great reply to that on another site. "Well my wifes excuse is that shes not a ****ing idiot"

kevpants

They should take the baby and then her uterus.

deadlybuzzman

A 1000 euro says shes already got her 1st post natal front squat session planned-obviously while wearing her baby directly under the bar

DL Saint

Talk about a dream birth. I can picture it now. A woman is on an angled leg press, wide sumo stance, she lowers the weight down, goes deep, then pushes the weight back up and out pops her little bundle of joy. Who needs stirrups and a doctor when you can combine something you hate with something you love

In all seriousness though, these women do not deserve to be mothers...

Really can't stand all the 'what's your excuse again?' crap. I wonder how the disabled athletes feel about being used in them.

I think these are 45g in weight with 45% of that 45g being the actual protein content. It says at the top of the page that the bars work out at 2.64 per 100g and the price of a single bar is 1.19.

I only use safety razors , you can pick up the refills on amazon so cheap , 10 euros and I'm sorted for blades for the next couple of years!

Might cut your face the first few times getting used to it. but after that it's great

Single blade, sharper and better shave, allegedly!

DE shaving is great, and shaving.ie provide a really excellent service.

I got a Merkur Progress and a selection of blades a while ago. Initially I was a bit gung ho but a few days where I felt like I had dipped my face in acid quickly taught me that you have to really take your time with it, and not move up to the more aggressive blades like Feathers until your technique is very solid.

It does take a good bit longer than a cartridge razor and can of foam though, although it's much more enjoyable.

There's a huge thread about them on the facial hair forum. Some of the guys on there have massive collections of razors and luxury shaving products, but funnily they all focus on how much cheaper the blades are!

I do. God what kind of bromance is this you don't even know me!

Yes they are the choice of the hipster but I started using them because of serious ingrown hairs on my neck that, because I have a real job, were freakin killing me when I was wearing a tie. You don't get that stuff with a proper razor.

You don't have to get a gold plated ivory tooth hippo skin razor, Boots sell plastic ones for €5. That's what I got and had it up to 2 years ago when wifepants bought me a steel one.

They're seriously cheap. I bought blades 5 years ago, I still haven't run out. I bought a badger brush (that's right hippies it's made from actual badger!!) at the time and a little bowl for shaving soap and I've replaced the soap in it twice in the 5 years.

Do yourself a favour. Invest in the DE feather blades and a merkur razor. You'll never go back to using a gillette or whatever piece of **** plastic you used before.

Is everyone ready to have their minds blown? This may actually belong on the Conspiracy theories forum... I just connected the dots.

The lizard people or the reverse vampires or someone are behind this Crossfit thing and they're trying to DEVOLVE the human race! I was reading a diet thread in here and every second post was about paleo so, being a Friday afternoon, I decided to look up the Wiki for Paleolithic man. What read shocked me to the core. It's littered with Crossfit references.

1.

Human population density was very low, around only one person per square mile.[2] This was most likely due to low body fat, infanticide, women regularly engaging in intense endurance exercise

2.

most Middle and Upper Paleolithic societies were possibly fundamentally egalitarian

First 4 lines of "What if Crossfit" section from here

3.

the main themes in the paintings and other artifacts (powerful beasts, risky hunting scenes and the over-sexual representation of women) are to be expected in the fantasies of adolescent males during the Upper Paleolithic

4.

the abundance of such female imagery has led some to believe that Upper Paleolithic (and later Neolithic) societies had a female-centered religion

Fran, Cindy, Helen....

5.

the elites of these societies (like the elites of many more contemporary complex hunter-gatherers such as the Tlingit) may have used special rituals and ancestor worship to solidify control over their societies, by convincing their subjects that they possess a link to the spirit world that also gives them control over the earthly realm

Are we seeing a new branch of the human eveloutionary tree forming? In 10,000 years time will homo sapiens be fighting it out for control of the earths resources as homo kippiens seeks to replace everything that exists to be good at one thing with loads of sh1te that's not really good at anything?

d'Oracle

Not if Rich Froning has anything to do with it.

I for one welcome the War...

Sure there all at it....some other twat around here was trying to run a revolution lately as well...

That Albany crossfit video - how can anyone let these clowns teach people??

Doctor_Socks

For anyone looking at developing false grip for rings I found this a great help. Progresses from building false strength on a standard chinup bar to rings. Lots of other quality gymnastic tutorials on it aswell

http://gymnasticswod.com/content/false-grip-progressions-pt1

Video on the site isn't in youtube format so wasn't too sure how to embed it on the site

Hanley

Ouch. THose false no-grip wrist pull ups look like they're be harder than muscle ups.
