This woman can flip a tractor tire at 41. Can you?

I love you X-fit guy simply for the entertainment value. RIPPED and SHREDDED posts are hilarious because people get so worked up about it.

I know why you feel so threatened by CROSSFIT. You know about the results, all the shredded muscle mass. You know that if one of your runners starts crossfitting, they will never look back and you lose a customer.

But that's what CROSSFIT is all about. Survival of the FITTEST, not survival fo the scrawniest.

That assumes that the xfit guy isn't just Mr. Chest reincarnated. Don't think so because Mr. Chest was actually funny to read.

Man, I always like those Mr. Chest posts. Those and Kilgore were my favorites.

NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL!

I'm 63 and can Flip a house.

I hate when that happens.

Real nasty, maybe. They are as real as her skin color.

I live in Wyoming and hunt big game. I hunted last fall with one guy who was an oil field worker/cross fitter, another guy who is a cyclist, and myself (runner). We were hunting north of Dubois on Spring mountain which is around 7,000. I took to the ridge and started stalking some elk cows that I had seen heading up Spring Mountain from a drainage below the mountain. I was hoping I could intercept them. The other two grabbed a snack as they had already filled their tags, and they said they would catch up. They told me the left about 3 minutes after I did. Well sure enough, near the top of spring mountain, about 1.5 miles from where we parked I tagged I very nice 7-year-old cow (575 lbs). The cyclist showed up just as I had it situated to do the field dressing, we completed field dressing in about 20 minutes. Then, a scrawny cyclist (160 lbs) and a scrawny runner (153 lbs) dragged that elk over the downed timbers and rocky ledges back to our truck.

The cross-fitter made it about 0.5 miles up the mountain (so about 1/3 of the way), and was GASSED. He didn't bother to help us get the elk the rest of the way down the mountain, or help lift it into the truck.

The worst part is, he was talking up crossfit all morning, and how he feels incredibly fit, and how we should be giving up cycling and running because crossfit is so much better for your overall fitness and ability to lift (by the way, he does look relatively fit and weighs 190 at 6'1").

So this is a real-life FAIL.

That's the problem, these guys don't do much in the way of cardio work and they're too heavy to begin with. It's fine if you want to watch yourself in the mirror, but not so much on a 30 mile hike through the mountains.

I just wonder why someone so into crossfit would come to a message board about distance running?

I used to run a lot more, heck, I even "SLOGGED" like you guys. Until I realized that all that running damage my muscles and in the end, there was an alternative. Maintaining superior running abilities without any SLOGGING. Just heavy lifting, CROSSFIT STYLE SPRINT REPEATS and the ocasional SUPER FAST 5K race (with backpack). Couple that with a PALEO diet/lifestyle and you got a recipe for SUCCESS.

Or a recipe for being a tool.

6% body fat. Now THAT'S healthy for a female.

I think 6% is a bit low. Maybe crossfit is too hard of a workout? That much intensity can't be good for a woman.

I don't even know what Crossfit is, and I mean to keep it that way.

I can eat 50 eggs.
