I suggest everyone check out: https://www.youlooklikeaman.com/collections/all

This is a site run by some female strongman competitors.  It started as a FB/instagram page (that is spectacularly funny and outraging at the same time) that took all the nasty shit guys would say about female strongman/bodybuilders/athletes on the internet, and putting them on motivational poster-style backgrounds.  

It includes several personal favorites, such as the "you're losing your feminine mystique" unicorn poster, "big clit energy" tank top, and the "don't blow your butthole out" unisex tee.  I'm also considering the "I just want to tone" tee as an Xmas gift to myself.

This is an amazing store!

Unsurprisingly, the girl behind it all (Jessica Fithen, who won "World's Strongest Woman" in Alaska this year), is one of the funniest people I've ever talked to.  She also runs "Fourth Place Apparel", which her and a gym mate started after perpetually finishing just off podium.  Their motto is "exceptionally mediocre."

I think you're lost. This is the fitness thread and you're looking for the Chucktown thread.

So your clean and jerk would come after seeing TJ's snatch, correct?

 

[Road Guy]

[tj_PE]

[Road Guy]

And just so people dont think I am some perv like MA here is a snatch

 

[MA_PE]

Hey it’s Ble that’s the perv.  

 

[Ble_PE]

Hey, I'm just interested in a friendly workout competition. Aw hell, who am I kidding, I am a pervert.

To quote George Carlin:

”snatch, box, and pussy all have other meanings.  Even in a Walt Disney movie you can say ‘we’re going to snatch that pussy, put him in a box, and put him on an airplane.’”

 

[Road Guy]

oh boy..... here we go...



so back to fitness, anyone got a good how to program for double unders?  I bought my own rope and practice but I think I am practicing wrong!  Even though I pay for two people for XF I cant seem to get much free instruction out of my box!  other than "you just jump higher!" duhh...

 

[akwooly]

jump higher and spin the rope faster.

 

[akwooly]

double unders were one of the only things i could do really well at crossfit.  thanks to years and years of wresting, so many hours of jumping rope for conditioning and making weight.

 

[akwooly]

And just so people dont think I am some perv like MA here is a snatch

that is a deep snatch

 

[Ble_PE]

jump higher and spin the rope faster.

Basically. It's like a lot of other things, the concept is easy but it takes time to build up to it.
