@josephfaith Whoopsie, Freudian slip?

@rip2006 There are alternatives to "speakeasy gyms" aka selfish clubs. You don't even need equipment to work out at home. Gymnastics work, bodyweight fitness, cardio, etc. No excuse for this bullshit.

@dawn16 Your position of "it is an individual's choice to affect others regardless of their consent" is what flies in the face of the community of CrossFit. Especially when there are MANY safe alternatives to ignoring gym closures mandates. There is no excuse.

@dawn16 Exactly. And that's the issue. The people who ignore business closures are the same people who would ignore something like telling people they interact with that they've been potentially exposed. It is a selfish decision that is rooted in selfish behavior.

@dawn16 You really think people selfish enough to ignore the closure would inform their friends and family about the risk they're introducing without any of their consent? Somehow I doubt it.

@dawn16 Because it demonstrates an utter disregard for the health and well-being of others. These preventative measures are not about protecting the individual. They are about protecting others. And if individuals are too selfish and/or ignorant to realize that and comply (like in the...

@neogaia777 I can't believe people here don't realize not only gyms are being affected. And the reason is for such hurting across the whole nation is the lack of effective federal response to the pandemic. The $1200 one-time payment plus absolute farce of distribution of $500 billion was an...

@dawn16 he's also not meeting standard if bending elbows, so multiple problems there!

@iconpharm First, it affects everyone differently. There is enough long-term, lingering lung damage alone across all cases to keep me from making such a stupid generalization. Second, I don't trust that someone who can't keep themselves out of a place that has explicitly been closed is...

@iconpharm People have a problem with the selfishness of the decisions being made. It is a shame you don't see that.

@tigr He popped for testolone and endurobol. Just because they might not be as effective or used in the same dosages as "what Hulk Hogan took in the 80s" doesn't mean they have no effects. Testolone increases lean muscle mass (and subsequently strength) and rate of fat loss. Lean muscle...

@ezie It's not like he had to stop training. And the benefits of his use back then didn't magically go away, he was still able to build off of where he got to while using PEDs.

@lisarose001 Well, he took your advice! lol

@grace4nan My only issue with your comment is that if the athletes have GPP then they don't need to know the events ahead of time. Otherwise they start training specifically for the events/implements/skills rather than for "general physical preparedness". This is treating the Games as...

@grace4nan I disagree. If, for example, a few Games ago they knew there was going to be a peg board event six months ahead of time, then everyone would have worked their butts off training peg boards. That doesn't speak to GPP in my mind... That's specificity. I'm fine with those types of...

@sarahjamison19 Totally fair, sure. I acknowledge my opinion leans pretty far on one end of the spectrum between "no information ahead of time" and "everything is detailed for athletes xxx months out from competition". The only nit-pick I'd have about this is that the athletes already know...

@grace4nan I mean, to me that defeats the whole purpose of the Games (ideally) being a showcase of GPP though.

@ingeborg They have some interesting "the making of..." videos about implements and rigs. For example, their Wheel of Pain build that they made for the Strongman Classic -- it goes through their thought process about what the athletes were capable of, how to make it look impressive to watch, etc.

@jarvis75 It was neat to see which athletes were just wrecked and how they were dealing with their exhaustion, but I agree it should've been "glances" instead of the focus.

@lisarose001 Yep.
