    From urbandictionary.com's definition of Crossfit;
    A bunch of rich white people paying $250/mo. to have an uncredentialed coach instruct them to have spasms with PVC pipe and siezures on pull-up bars until they vomit. They generally do this for a period of 10-30 minutes and call it a workout. Those who partake in these group activities also have the option to pay $1000 to attend a weekend course where they have an alcoholic instruct them how to better lift their PVC pipe. Some people who do these activities may also confuse being nauseous with being elite.
    Guy 1: Hey, I started this great workout program lately. It's called CrossFit!
    Guy 2: You go have fun with that. And don't bother calling me when you need someone to take you to the emergency room.

    Guy 3: Dude, when did you get all those tribal tats? You didn't start---
    Guy 4: Hey man, I just started doing this awesome workout program called CrossFit!
    Guy 3: Oh, ****.

    Guy 5: The CrossFit workout was brutal today! I'm already sore as hell!
    Guy 6: Maybe you should have scaled down to 1/2" PVC rather than 3/4".

    oh the sensorship of it all, you an your boundries, I wouldn't imagine I could aspire to submitting txt to such a plethora or celestial beings. With conversation limited to who has the largest thighs and who squats where, it just seems far to homoerotic in my view, I couldnt begin to join in, I imagine I like the nomenclature, as most straight men do.
    wha?? :confused:

    90% of people do them as an odd swivelly movement of their shoulders rather than an up and down shrug movement. What more could you want from a lift???

    I confess - I do this (although I haven't really ever done shrugs as part of a workout) but I can't see how it's wrong. Surely it's better to bring your shoulders up and back, pinching your shoulder blades together?

    The way I see most people do them is a swivel of the shoulder blade in a circle almost. Its not really a shrug its just the only way they can move the weight, doing it with their joints rather than their traps. What you're decribing sounds ok to me anyways, I wouldn't really concentrate on bringing the shoulder blades together but thats just me.

    The swivel-y thing is a bit silly because it puts a lot of strain on the rotator cuff and other internal musculature. Shrugs are a trap exercise; the focus is on the traps. The movement of the shoulders is a side-effect, not a goal.

    Barbell clubs, there seems to be none of them over here and you'd imagine there'd be some interest in them. So sick of seeing collections for local soccer teams or whatever in the supermarket. Wondering how much collecting would I have to do to open/keep a barbell club.

    its actually an old dog, and its surprising she is still around because thats true about chocolate and dogs. if i put a sealed bar of chocolate (in a bag) into a high press, she will sniff it out, unreal:confused:

    I though Hercules was just a gym. Y'know, yearly subscription, bikes, treadmills n'stuff. I was thinking of a club run voluntarily and for little cost to the club member.
