Louie Simmons....WTF?

10

LOL ^^

I spent 8 hours with Loui in his gym (in the spring of 2002) being trained. He is a rare and fine gentleman. I so much it still amazes me. I simply can’t say enough good about him. The video has no context. Let’s not make ugly assumption about a wonderful guy who has given us so much.

PS: I saw him bench 575, I think he was 54 at the time.

Im back.

Sorry I had to go to work.

Nice cock.

Lets argue.[/quote]

Lets not and say we did. I dont argue with children. Thanks for admiring my cock, maybe someday you can have a cock as nice as mine.

I haven’t read the whole clusterf%&k of the thread, but 1 thing remains true, no matter what: a guy who can bench a freaking truck, deadlift a sperm whale and squat a building as the right to do any foo-foo exercise he likes.

And btw, I do think this one might be good for loosening up PLers’ hips that got banged up by lifting said objects.

For the sake of killing this thread, I have a question…

Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?

Discuss…

I thought we already had a thread arguing about BBQ? Rudy’s is the best

Damn that was quick ID

First, what people want to for exercise is their business. But this concept of “all around fitness” is a misnomer. Fitness is the ability to do a task. Health is completely different. Exercise influenes it both in positive and negative ways. Diet can be a positive or negative. Mental outlook is important.

But a crossfit trainer is not necessarily more healthy than any other athlete. For example my cardio right now is okay. I normally walk with a weighted vest once or so a week. Strength is more my bag now. I’m almost at a 600 pound deadlift at 47 and 200 pounds. All around type of training would not get me to my current goal .

But if someone is into it, whatever. My son for instance is a wrestler who powerlifts. He lifts for increasing his strength, 5 3 1, and does his wrestling drills for his sport and cardio.

Sellout, fuck no.

KB’s and Crossfit are not things to shit on.

At some point in your life; if you spent it like Louie, you’re going to need to start thinking about general health and take some focus on heavy weight.

Having a training program that emcompasses GPP into it is a great idea.

East Oakland frowns at you for your judgement. [/quote]

As long as East Oakland doesn’t open fire I guess I can live with the frowns.

Yeah, well it is nice. And although it might be bigger, MINE is way harder.

I mean of course you’d expect an Iron Dwarf to have an iron cock, right?

this is one of the best threads in a long time

Its not just about the hardness, its about the movement of the cock. And Girth.

Watch what you say about east oakland, or they will use terrible grammar and a bunch of acronyms that stand for things that shouldnt have acronyms

They have over 120 dead people

Actually now that you mention it please don’t tell East Oakland that I’ve been talking shit. I might have to drive by there this weekend.

(sadly I can’t see the video from work but will look when I get home tonight)

Well good luck to you. Just remember, they can smell fear, but if you stand perfectly still, they cant see you.

I’m not sure I get your point. But I’d bet that average crossfitter is healthier than the average lifter, all things being equal, like diet. If you think walking with a vest once or so a week is equal to a regular regimen of cardio training, you’re wrong. At your (our) age, your deadlift is irrelevant. Your cardio health should take precedence. I’m guilty, but working on it.
