1. Can’t believe we lost last night should have put the tie to bed but you don’t count on those snail eating frog loving cheating gits!!!!!!

2. Agreed Gutted they really need a TV ref

3. :’(

   I went out with low expectations but when we were all over them and then scored a goal I was sure we’d get another. Lousy cheating french.

4. TBH they had a few chances and messed them up shame really i have to say they played bloody well and this is coming from a person who doesn’t watch footy.

7. Fuck it, it’s freedom fries from now on!

8. Sounds like FIFA got what they wanted with the Football, cheating b’dards

   Any of you flying over for the Velocity Invitational Saturday week, guess I wont recognise anyone after the hugening.

9. Scott,

   I’ve tickets to Ireland-South Africa (in a real sport ) that day so I won’t be travelling. Pity thought, I’d like to compete at something CrossFit soon.

10. Hey at least you can both use your hands in Rugby.

    You going to be competing in the Euro qualifier this year? Im still interested to see if there going to have any regional qualifiers in Europe and then a final. You have any heads up on it.

11. Yeah I’ll prob throw my hand into the qualifiers alright.

    Haven’t heard anything about the qualifiers for Europe. They might give it to Mikko’s affiliate to get him some press.

12. Strange article about quitting. I’ve bailed on a few workouts but that doesn’t say sh!t about anything else I do in life. I might be taking it out of context but if your back starts to tweak in round 3 of something ridiculous like “mr. Joshua” then you should damn well bail. Are ya a lesser person because of it? Maybe, but at least you can still walk…

13. On a somewhat related note to Ed. People (internet people) are always talking about how the push harder in other area’s in their lives since taking up crossfit and nonsense like that. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m as lazy as ever at everything outside of crossfit. Getting out of bed in the morning etc still kills me, it’s a daily struggle that one.

14. I’m with Ed here.

    I bailed on a workout once. It was actually very similar to DT:

    Five rounds for time of:
    60kg Deadlift, 15 reps
    60kg Hang power clean, 12 reps
    60kg Front Squat, 9 reps
    60kg Push Jerk, 6 reps

    Had an old PR of 15 mins something on it (one of the better times on CF.com that day, as all the heavy hitters were tapering for the games that weekend ) and was nervous as hell about beating it – I died for it first time while fairly fresh, and this time I was so overtrained I could barely get out of bed, and had such serious DOMs that I was struggling to break parallel in the squat.

    I decided to train anyway – as I was suffering from a disease known as “complete fucking idiocy” at the time.

    Started my stopwatch, somehow got as far as the 9 front squats, and then couldn’t find the strength to put the bar overhead. At this stage I was shivering uncontrollably, breaking out in a cold sweat and having to strain to hear my brother shouting “are you OK?” at me.

    A little voice in my head said “maybe this isn’t the best idea you’ve ever had” at that point.

    Thankfully, I actually listened to it – took 5 days off and came back hitting the WODs with renewed enthusiasm and smashing PRs left and right the next week.

    It’s important to shut out that voice that says “I can’t do this” sometimes. It’s also important to listen to it sometimes.

    Learning to distinguish the former situation from the latter takes a while. Hopefully you’ll learn to do it before things like surgery step in and do it for you.

15. Colm/Will,
    I’m on shift today so don’t finish until 7, but I really wanna give this WOD a go, so is there any chance I can come to the 8 o’clock class and just do the WOD?

    Yours pleadingly,
    Pixie

16. Ed and Will you are both clearly weak performers.

    So a question for Will and anyone else who’s done a WAM zone: did you count your fish oil toward your fat blocks? I guess if you’re using zone for calorie restriction you would have to, just curious what the consensus is.

17. I hang my head in shame Kyle!

18. No fish oil counting for me. Free calories! You’ll need these to live for long on baseline zone.

20. baseline zone?

21. I imagine by baseline Zone Will means your base 16 blocks or whatever your block allowance is, when you start fiddling around with half carbs and trible fat blocks etc you’re moving away from that baseline Zone… then again I could be wrong, and Will will correct me once he’s back in front of a computer again.

    Oh and Kyle I don’t count my fish oil as fat blocks…and well there has been some talk about the gym of me being a little on the nazi side when it comes to the eating so by gum I’d say your fine!

22. “you’re fine”

    Sorry the grammar nazi in myself could let me away with that!

23. The standard prescription, where you eat equal blocks of protein, carbs and fat. Your energy requirements are met by your body’s (rapidly dwindling) fat stores at this stage, and when you reach your desired level of leanness, or your performance starts to tank (these 2 dont always happen at the same time), you ramp up your dietary fat intake to meet your needs.

    So an x1 (or baseline) 4 block meal would look like 4 blocks of carbs, 4 blocks of protein, 4 blocks of fat, x2 would be 4 carb, 4 protein, 8 fat, x3 is 4,4,12 etc

    This can go all the way up to situations like me a few summers ago, where I was doing 5-6 WODs per week and working 6 days per week on a building site – my daily intake looked like 19 carbs, 19 protein and a more or less constant stream of as much olive oil as I could drink.
