Crossfitters get way more ladies than powerlifters…thats where this is really coming from.
Always remember that survey where like 500 ladies were asked to chose between a cover model of flex magazine or Men’s fitness…and like 85% chose the men’s fitness…and…their comments like totally belittled the bodybuilders… Flex (or Iron Man I forget) then ran a little thing about their mag used for this survey and the Flex guys responses were kinda like some here… Whiny ove the top criticism of Men’s Fitness routines…sophomoric slandering, gay bashing… Human nature’s funny.

Funny, I just wrote something about this on another forum. It’s no secret that a lot of ladies prefer a “fitness look” over bodybuilders or powerlifters. The problem is that almost every insecure male on the planet is striving for that look in the hopes that they’ll attract the attention of the fairer sex. If there’s one thing we have in abundance in this world it’s insecure guys. 
I say the sensible thing is to target the chicks with weird fetisches. There might be less of them around but you won’t exactly have a lot of competition either. I’m sure SOME women have a sweet spot for the “fat ogre look” and that’s where powerlifters come in. This will only work if you’re truly freaky though, if you’re something inbetween you’ll be big enough to scare off the normal chicks but too small to attract the freak hunters.
“as our athletes have the strength of powerlifters, the speed of Olympic sprinters, the stamina of pro boxers, the work capacity of clydesdales, and of course the bodies of Gods.”
read this comment from the article. I’m now a victim of the lolocaust,

I can’t even…
Powerlifters are the sexiest men alive.
Well good for crossfit , ill stick with 531 and some hill sprints “fads come and go but the barbell remains the same respect it accordingly” Jim Wendler no need to re invent the wheel.
Its a total of your 1rm Squat + deadlift + OH press for those wondering. I think it was determined by Rippetoe and a couple of others.

you’re elite with your DL alone
I really think there are four things that could get powerlifting to surpass crossfit culturally.
-
Get Raw powerlifting into the Olympics. People go crazy over the olympics and they will be screaming curse words at the television while a U.S. lifer is lifting. Keep it raw to keep it simple.
-
Make a movie about the life of a powerlifting great either fictional or one such as Ed Coan.
-
Hot chicks! Young guys like hot chicks, old guys like hot chicks, and even some hot chicks like hot chicks. Let us bring them in. Maybe sponsorship by Hooters? It will make us look a little pervy, but we will have hot chicks, so who really cares?
-
Make powerlifting a school sport. This is an easy step because as a school sport many other sports already want their athletes to be strong so it will do the work for them. Also as young men, and some women, these kids will be very competitive, so competing against themselves and others would be very enticing. A current equivalent would be track which is very popular in schools from what I have seen.
I dunno what chicks that clown was referring to and hanging around with, but NO WOMAN that I know would be swooning over those scrawny fucks on the video. Also, it was missing the mandatory crossfit move - lay on floor like roadkill. They like that one a lot!

Good lord, that’s fucking terrbile. I’ve seen bad form on the quick lifts, but they’ve managed to establish an entirely new level of terrible.
I didn’t read anything past page 2, but here is my .02.
Greg Glassman is a fat fucking slob that managed to create a massive, lucrative fitness movement. Long gone are the days of like 20 people showing up for a picnic and workout that was called the Crossfit Games. Glassman is hardly even relevant to what is happening today with the mass amount of affiliates not knowing or not caring what Crossfit did to get to where it is. All they care about is the appeal there is to Crossfit.
The athletes are on a far higher caliber than they used to be, more people are involved, and the amount money and popularity will just keep drawing more people in.
Crossfit is here to stay, like it or not.
I know nobody cares, but I would really like to have sex with Chuck V.

Ed Coan lifted in gear and failed several drug tests. Why would he be your pick to represent the history of a sport that you want to see in the olympics?

I think you’ve dropped subtle hints about that once or twice in the past. 
I can’t say I blame you though, I really dig chicks and all but I’d almost consider putting out for Chuck in all his purple and neckless glory.
Oh yea, no homo of course…
