100% rubber. Most of those are 10lb plates.

Thin ones probably 10, thick ones 25 I'd guess. Mixing up your routine is good, learning your technique via crowd sourcing not so much. Not to mention peer pressuring dangerous exercises at weights they shouldn't be trying.

So it's...exercise LARPing?

Seems like the entire point of this is the adrenaline of getting to that lifty point. I dunno. Whatever makes people happy.

Alright, I could make out the 10 on the side, but assumed it HAD to be at least kilograms.

Is there a point to using these rubber plates other than to make it look like you're actually lifting something heavy?

Because the bounce quietly and bend rather than break.

Yep, what he said. So they bounce and don't crack the foundation of the gym. It's cheaper to buy rubber weights than to pad the entire floor.

That was supposed to be a reply

Hitting a tire with a sledgehammer actually sounds pretty fun if you can't do any real log splitting for some reason.

Not the damn Paleo diet. I knew a reservist who was heavy into both the Paleo Diet and Crossfit. I figure its crank magnetism.
Dude's trying to tell me that beans are bad for you and that wheat = crack.

Now don't get me wrong the dude was in really good shape. Just annoying.

I am firmly convinced that we invented cooking things so that we didn't have to have bloated bellies filled with fiber and raw meat and that we'd have enough energy to fucking build the pyramids. Fuck the paleo diet. It's not junk food but its junk science.

I tried the Bulletproof diet briefly (similar to the paleo diet) but god damn it was too hard to stick to. I refuse to give up legumes. FUCK THAT.

What is their beef with legumes? The only reason Mr. Paleo said they were evil is because you had to cook them. They're a low fat source of protein and fiber, what's not to like?

I knew a bodybuilder that ate and entire jar of salted peanuts every day. He was a beast and had tons of energy. Maybe that was the steroids?

I bake fresh bread every day and nobody can take that away from me.

I knew a body builder who ate an entire jar of natural peanut butter every day.

Thank God I don't know any bodybuilders.

Everything I need to know about the paleo diet I learned from hearing PUAs endorse it over and over when I was submitting that last wave of PUA videos.

Dat wobbling.

I don't know anything about crossfit.

Does the staff teach you how to do the lifts, or do they just sit there and let a 84 lb woman try to clean and jerk 200lbs her first time?

If they do teach the members, they do a horrible job. Most aren't standing righ, lifting right, moving their feet right...
but rather than correct them and have them re-do the lift right/safely, they pressure them to complete the lift wrong.

That's the thing, and it's obviously the #1 complaint that "real lifters" have with CrossFit. While I'm sure that there are knowledgeable, GOOD CrossFit trainers out there (there's this CF dude on YouTube who does some really great mobility stuff), all you need to do to be "certified" is pass a fifty question multiple choice test... and they run the courses that prepare you for this test in ten cities at a time, 3-4 times a month. So you get these goofballs who sat still long enough to hear about "CrossFit's conceptual framework" opening up their own gym where soccer moms deadlift fifty times in a row before really learning how to actually deadlift.
