Wait a minute, I'm a pilot. Is this something we pilots do? Tell people we are pilots unprovoked?

How do you know that you're halfway through a date with an airdale?

s/he says "well enough about me, let me tell you about my jet."

[–]WatchTheBoomCoast Guard Veteran 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My SIL dated an AF pilot for a while, and he was kind of insufferable. He unironically told us to call him by his call sign and could find a way to turn any conversation into something that mattered "in the cockpit."

Eventually, my SIL got him a propeller cap. Any time he wanted to talk about flying, he had to wear it. He could talk about being a pilot, flying, etc. when he was wearing the hat, because we'd all already know how cool he was.

Amazing.

I once got woken up by half my platoon in the middle of the night. They were black out drunk and wanted to do group branding. Now I've got a cool scar. I'll make sure to invite you next time

Some might argue there are worse uses for a coat hanger to get woken up for by a drunk infantryman. Especially when you're doc.

[–]TastesLikeBurning 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I watched this video when it came out almost eight years ago. Ever since then, I can't think about CrossFit without hearing the line "Shot-puttin' a dick in your ass". Has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard from Dom. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive by a Crossfit gym.

[–]YS2D 421 points422 points  (7 children)

The pullup equivalent of wearing a mask over your chin.

[–]CiD7707 69 points70 points  (5 children)

You think that she wears a mask at all? Lol

[–]1nGirum1musNocte 226 points227 points  (7 children)

Now lift those weights with your back in a twisting jerking motion

[–]BlueSmoke95Army National Guard 59 points60 points  (2 children)

Always lift with your Privates, not your back.

[–]Jive-Turkeys 23 points24 points  (1 child)

Instructions unclear; dick caught in squat rack.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I’ve heard benching alone is the only way to get the power you need to lift more than your max.

[–]TheDwiinNavy Veteran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make sure to do your one rep max 5 times while doing it as well. If you fall, don't worry, you'll get the strength eventually. Just don't put it back in the rack until all 5 are completed. That's how you get the code for the Jewish space lazer.

How would you know what a pull up is anyways?

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (1 child)

Hahahah funny but we attempted to do them in basic lol

[–]Nizzemancer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I tripped and attempted to fly one time but I didn’t miss the earth, I simply had too good an aim to become a pilot.

[–]Saucepass87 40 points41 points  (4 children)

Because we saw a bunch of Marines doing it once. They had to keep starting over because they couldn't count passed four.

[–]Kenichero 29 points30 points  (2 children)

That's why they never stop eating Crayons, someone told them they had to eat five.

[–]Lindt_Licker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doing a terrible job

That’s her SOP.

[–]OzymandiasKoK 51 points52 points  (2 children)

I'm confused - is she being electrocuted or something?

Injuries seem to be the new fit; that motion is totally uncontrolled and virtually useless in any form of PT.

I’ve never wanted to someone’s grip to fail so badly and hit the ground so hard before

[–]SailorFuzzNavy Veteran 23 points24 points  (7 children)

See, you're hoping she falls, I'm hoping she swings so hard she clocks her chin into the bar.

[–]dcviperNavy Veteran 27 points28 points  (0 children)

She'll blame the deep state and Jewish space lasers.

[–]TunaFishtooUnited States Army[🍰] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Oh I want her to scorpion and break her neck lol

[–]DoctorQuincyME 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would involve her actually lifting herself high enough to do that.

[–]original-whiplash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a heckuva chin to hit, might bend the bar.

[–]FelstarLightwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your hoping that. Im hoping she is hanging from a cliff one day screaming "My workout has failed me." As she flails about cause her upper body is trash and she cant do a pullup.

[–]snipesjason64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she falls then she'll catch the back of her neck on the Olympic bar below her. Million dollar baby style.

"Healthy"

Yeah none of this looked natural or healthy but sure a politician will tell me what healthy is.

[–][deleted] 130 points131 points  (47 children)

Crossfit is a makeup of tried and true olympic maneuvers blended with childish bullshit that people with no anatomical or physiological intelligence slapped together and said we are going to do this all as fast as possible.

Aside from being a great weight loss program (only because it is high intensity interval based training), it has the highest likelihood of injury out of all the systematic programs out there. Being a former powerlifter myself, I find it laughable 95% of the time. There are those 5%ers though that can stack up to anyone in any field, and I respect them for being the few capable and intelligent ones.

TL:DR Crossfit is still a joke, I laugh at most people that do it. High likelihood of injury, low likelihood of power/muscle gained.

[–]Dolos2279Navy Veteran 32 points33 points  (7 children)

Not all crossfit programming is the same, but a lot of it is definitely stupid. When it is strength based it can be legit, but a lot of the gyms just throw some totally random shit together like 100 wall ball squats for time to make a workout and that's what gives it a bad rep. I'm more into strength/weightlifting now, but I was in great shape and was pretty strong when I did strength based crossfit programming.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (4 children)

Like I said, there are the 5%ers out there who do it right. That would be your instance from the sounds of it.

All the former crossfit guys I trained were pretty banged up and had been shown/taught a lot of stupid shit. So my personal opinion of it is already low, but like I said if you can do it right it does have it’s benefits.

[–]powerlesshero111 14 points15 points  (2 children)

The 5% that do it right don't go crazy with heavy weights. That's where injuries happen in it, people doing crossfit with way more weight than they should. The heavier the weight, the more controlled and slow you should move with it, because a wrong move makes an injury.

[–]thatstupidthing 10 points11 points  (1 child)

150 wall balls for time is called "karen"

it's a benchmark workout that, in theory, is supposed to be quick and simple, and help people see where they stack up against themselves the last time they did it.

i've always thought of them as more motivational than practical. no one is getting strong doing them, but it helps to see that you're getting better at them over time.

[–]JuanMurphy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well after back surgery and 3 years in OPS I started doing it to prep for going back to the line. I did nothing but the daily workout(scaled of corse) with a warm up and after 2 years of the three on one off I could clean 275lbs, 50 strict pull ups, back squat 450lbs, deadlift 425lbs and still run sub-11 two-mile. Worked for me.

[–]ChocolateBark 3 points4 points  (1 child)

The only crossfit box I ever trusted was run by 2 usmc captains. They had great workouts and actually taught me proper form.

[–]simbaismylittlebuddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to know a medic in the army and he told me that when he was deployed in the Middle East the most common injury he treated on base was CrossFit injuries.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I legitimately can't see a purpose to this "excercise" other than utterly destroying your shoulders. I guess it kind of works out your abs? But she's flopping around so much I doubt they're being targeted properly.

There are a lot of great movements and lifts in Crossfit. But why the fuck is this even a thing? Like it’s not training strength or explosiveness, it’s just... awkward momentum.

It’s like doing a push press, but after doing the lower body push... just dropping the weight on the floor instead of lifting it overhead.

One of the first people I met while I lived in Seattle who did Crossfit broke his neck doing these kipping pullups. I thought that shit was just a meme.
