what’s everyone’s go-to (lame) joke at the gym?

@ross11 Done this since I read it 19days ago. Never gets old.

@elsiejo My favorite is asking someone I’m lifting with if they want to start with a ludicrous number neither of us want to do.

Sooo, where we working to? 405? 435?

@maryeldermusic Must be deloading on the bench.

@elsiejo Every. Single. Time. When doing warmups and coach tells us to go into the yoga pose known as up dog I shout, “WHAT’S UP DOG?!”

 

[catholicnewbie]

@silverthorne I came here for this. I am a HUGE Office fan and have wanted to bust out that line since I started. However, I’m a newb and dont feel I’ve earned it

 

[silverthorne]

@catholicnewbie Do it. It’d be like the CrossFit equivalent of going to jail, finding the biggest guy, and slugging him right in the jaw. Which, as I understand it, is a great idea also.

@elsiejo When we are doing wall balls or thrusters right as the ten second countdown starts yell “SQUAT OR POWER?” Coaches love this.

 

[seekinggodswill]

@tim_goodnews A coach version of that joke: when someone in the class runs to the bathroom right before the WOD, when they've been in there for about 15 seconds, yell out 'THREE... TWO... ONE'. Watch them come frantically out of the bathroom still pulling up their shorts.

Then everyone laughs at them.

@seekinggodswill Win

@tim_goodnews From the rack or off the ground? I heard a guy ask this about snatches once. The coach was NOT amused.

@tim_goodnews I’ll have to remember this obe

 

[bncompton1228]

@elsiejo I work out at noon. I always say “Back to work to get some rest!”

 

[samerobert]

@elsiejo Ok this is totally my sense of humor

 

[yuliza]

@samerobert People that dont laugh at that have no soul.

 

[ladygemini]

@elsiejo During the warm up run I tell everyone I’m just gonna get something from my car, then I leave.

 

[eclipse122778855]

@elsiejo “PR or ER” is another good one

 

[seekinggodswill]

@elsiejo When the 15 minute WOD is about 12 minutes in yell "HALF WAY THERE EVERYONE!"

 

[kyle727]

@elsiejo I have two:
1) when the coach demos strict/kipping movements I love to call out no-rep
2) when the coach demos the movement, and is visibly sore from the day before, I always need to see a second rep

@elsiejo “Asking for a friend but you said that (blah blah blah).” Coach responds and I’ll turn to one of my buddies and say “Coach says we need to do it this way.”
