I have my first foray into the dark side (CrossFit) tonight. A peek at the listed wod has me feeling ill already. I’m so unfit that just reading things like timed row, and circuits amrap in 12 minutes have me nauseated. Chance of me throwing up is probably >90%

I’ve also looked into this many years ago. I was told the chances of vomit in the first workout is almost 100% for everyone.
Fun fact: a modified crossfit WOD was the only workout that’s ever made me vomit without already being ill.

I’ve always wanted to try CrossFit. Mostly for the women though 
unfortunately I have zero mobility.

@samul I told y’all not to trust him when he said deadlifts ain’t shit 
They think the US started WW3, but they aren’t correct.
I just started it.
I’m bracing for the storm.

I have just been called a fucking clown dick for telling paul carter that the medial delts don’t exist.

Out of interest, what is a clown dick? Is it true that dick size is proportional to shoe size, because if so…

He’s gonna argue this one forever, you know. Never mind that there is a lateral and a medial meniscus, so I’m not sure why he’s referring to what you call something when it’s dissected, but there’s a reason I never made a comment on this, and it’s because it will go nowhere but insult-town.

My first workout in Eric Brown’s RP-21 programme came close to making me puke today. Something about the walking lunges
In Paul’s defence, something I never thought id say, if someone asked me question about the medial delt, and it was clear they meant lateral, i would 99 times out of 100 just reply and use the term medial delt knowing I’d be giving them the information they wanted.
In your defence, you are absolutely correct.

For me it was a 1k rowing sprint when I was rowing for the university. This was a time trial for rookie placings so I gave 100%. I won, but I puked, so I definitely didn’t win.
I’ve puked for far less productive reasons than that. Especially in uni.

Paul Carter seems like the kind of man who would blow up into an impotent, dick-measuring rage over the tiniest infraction though and that is by far the most fun kind of person to mildly annoy.

You know, these forums are really handy for deciding on coaching/methodologies to follow.
Thibs’ programs look interesting and effective, but all that neurotype bullshit he spouts/sells means that he’s basically coming across as a snake oil salesman and I’d have a hard time buying in to his style of training.
Paul Carter’s programs look similarly solid, but he acts like such a petulant dickhead online that I would never go to him for any sort of private coaching.
Jim Wendler is pretty normal on here, and I haven’t been put off 5/3/1 at all. I’ve actually bought more of Jim’s stuff since joining these forums.
There’s probably a lesson there for people making a living off selling training programs and the like.

the comment about program hopping had me rolling on the floor
@flappinit thank you for taking my defense man
I have just posted what’ll be my last message directed to him ever
I’m following a Paul Carter program right now, BTW. Whether or not the knowledge he has is his or not, and regardless of whether he’s a (clown) dick, I’ve learned a bunch from him, for free. Gotta throw that out there.
But in terms of how he converses, I can never forget about how he called Greg Nuckols “Fat Greg” 30 times in a post, Greg showed up and he backed down immediately, and then he used that exchange as an example of respectful discourse.
