taking a mental health day today, but i earned it cos i got my tom waits ticket this morning! Go me
I’m perilously close to buying a ticket. Tom Waits is the absolute cheese, but those prices are really taking the piss.
Just watched What about abs? All of what he said was largely true.. Im just wondering what the lecturers excuse for having a rather large Ned kelly is????? His physique or rather lack of wouldn’t exactly inspire you to listen to too much of what he says image is everything in the fitness industry and his image is awful!!! As is burgeners..
they are expensive all right will, but as far as im concerned this is a once in a lifetime chance to see one of my all time favorite artists so it’s well worth it.
also, dont know if there is a way to monitor/assess this but im wondering how many people crossfit.ie has following her WODs? There only seems a handful of people who post scores, and they tend to be the people at training in HQ.
Any ideas Coach Colm?
“All of what he said was largely true…”
Paul, please take a look at Monday May 12th, following the link to ‘Ad Hominem’. Your intention seems cleary to spark an argument. Why?
Oh, and if you see Liam, tell him hi for me.
No kyle,
Just stating facts yes he knows his stuff but he isnt a good advert for getting fit. That article the other day on “10 things you should know about the fitness industry” Says exactly what I just said why take advice from people who don’t know how to get themselves in shape let alone anyone else.. Im merely stating a blatant fact that whoever he is he aint in good shape maybe he was but he isnt now!!
He’s lecturing on the subject on abdominal training and yet he hasn’t got a visible set of abs.. Its like being taught to swim by someone who has never gotten wet themselves!!!
I think Einstein’s theory of relativity is bullshit for the same reason. What did that clown know? He wasn’t even travelling at the speed of light when he wrote his papers.
Paul,
I’ve forgotten who you are but please refresh my memory. You’re bordering on trolling with your last few comments.
Colm
Trolling had to google that! “wickedness and mischief” why??? For stating a point that cannot be denied. I am the first to admit that that guy has alot of knowledge. But in this day in age where you are judged by how you look unfortunate but true. Even me when asked, What are my hobbies in general conversation? I say weightlifting, Martial Arts etc, they snigger because I aint a physically imposing bloke and people associate size with ability (ignorant or what).
That guy in the video would antagonise alot by stating how to achieve a six pack when he hasnt one himself. Why not? If he knows how to get one who wouldnt want one eh?!
In all my time working in the fitness industry I can count on one hand how many people have a visible six pack!! Yet everyone has a view on how to achieve one.
Do you know who “that guy in the video” is Paul?
Paul,
You didn’t read the definition of ad hominem, did you? Listen, I can’t speak for anyone else at this site but generally I enjoy a good debate because either I successfully defend my position and can rest assured in it, or I can’t and I make a new distinction. This, combined with my desire to explain the Crossfit methodology to those who don’t know, are the reasons I generally tried to contribute when you were posting as Liam. This isn’t my site so I can’t tell you what to post, but I think I’m done getting drawn into arguments.
All the best.
Yes Kyle I read that article!! You still refuse to accept though that he is in terrible nick at this moment in time.. Will, who he is doesnt really escape the fact that he is now carrying alot of excess weight all over particularly around his gut fact!! Yes he is successful because he has the knowledge and thankfully America tends to have more open minded people than us narrow Irish who don’t look beyond the exterior.
Watching that link contradicts so much of that other article that was posted the other day said! Would you seek out an obese personal trainer? Or a dentist with rotten teeth?
Even me as a guy with a wealth of knowledge struggles to get clients compared to a bodybuilding type personal trainer with mass why?? Because the general populas look at me and look at him and say. “Look what your man achieved in terms of mass etc and look at what I didnt achieve!! Thats a fact I have being constantly dealing with over the years. I wouldnt mind if that particular personal trainer I’m referring to was good but he is rubbish no interest whatsoever in the clients and limited knowledge won’t expand outside of his meat head world but he’s making the dosh!!!!! People associate size with being synominous with ability and thats a given.. I see it all the time. If you were to see me in the morning you’d most likely make the same assumption ” ah sure you’d blow him away”..
Paul-
I don’t think this debate will go anywhere unless you can convince people you are not “Liam” posting under yet another alias.
Paul-
Are you saying you don’t take Glassman seriously because of his appearance and bemoaning the fact that people apply the same standards to you? Odd.
Oh yeah, the scores!
Rob & Dan did back squats, serts of 5:
Rob: 50Kg, working on form
Dan: 60Kg
Shane H, Front Squats
50,55,55,57.5,57.5,60,55
Shane- Keep it up! That’s definitely quitting the hard way, the easier way being to just make sure there’s no crap available in your house.
Robb Wolf had a great post on this a while back actually: http://robbwolf.com/?p=78
