REMEBER, NEW YEARS WOD ON SATURDAY AT 11 O` CLOCK! KNOCK OFF THE HANG-OVER IN STYLE! SEE SATURDAY WOD BELOW. Above: Toni Lee is a class act. She is also 100% bad ass with a twist of sassy frass. You can see in the photo above as she violently swings the KB into a full swing- at 3 o` clock, her shoulder blades are locked, hips fully extended, core braced, and she has created incredible momentum to follow into the full 12 o` clock position. In this position, her head is extended through her arms which are straight, core is still tight, glutes are released and ready to extend again during the descent of the weight.

ReplyDelete"bingo" on the Main Site hasn't posted in awhile, maybe the good doctor is sick and isn't taking his own medicine, or just taking a holiday break? Irregardless, when he posts again, I'll get his traditional posts going again, I'll steal them and get'em back up here.
Yesterday, I wrote the following on our site and then today, via Nicole Free, learned that someone on talk radio was talking about this deal over in the Sandbox part of the world, so I thought I would post it one more time, with a slight bit more added (btw, ask Nicole for a related joke; she'll blush) :)
See, after playing with the Iraqis and Kuwaitis for abut 6 months, I was posted to Eskan Village, just outside Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital, for about six months once the official hostilities "ended" in Iraq. I was tasked to a PSD mission, and as such traveled extensively and got to know the place rather well. I saw some strange things, to include the...let's say...certain very strange "appetites" of the male population there. So...uhm...understand that this is not just about a fine looking "contestant". I follow Saudi news somewhat and it caused me to snicker a bit, knowing the underlying, odd current of this (if you understand what I mean), and I just had to share. Hence the store below...
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recently had their annual beauty pageant. Now, you are probably thinking, "How do they really judge that with all the women covered head to toe in burka's?", right? Well, you infidel, men there would never lower themselves to judging the physique of women, who are considered barely higher than the lowly dog (nothing meant badly towards you, Tucker, my dog friend, A-rabs just don't like dogs in general, they are considered extraordinarily unclean beasts). Besides, judging a woman in the manner of our decadent western ladies beauty pageants would be considered the height of evil and a horrific crime against Allah, his Prophet, Mohammed, and the holy Koran. Such evilness would be a capital offense and believe me, having been there, I've seen the results of such punishments; it ain't no fun.
Yet, my tender reader, you ask, "Why do they feel the need for a beauty pageant, if it is so very evil and wrong?"
Ah, thank you for asking, I'll answer this perplexing question...
It is because we humans still have a base need to compare and exclaim beauty. We love a winner (a la Crossfit) and those who strive to win, whether they actually can or not is usually a mute point. Of course, there's more, but let's let that suffice for now...
So the Kingdom had it's annual, highly-celebrated, extensively-attended beauty pageant, with millions upon millions of rials and dollars and euros and other currencies spent by some of the worlds richest, with years of building each contestant for the chance at fame and the lavish prize - the title as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Most Beautiful Goat...yes, I said GOAT. A bleating goat.
Ain't it great to be an American?!
This would have been an entertaining read anyway, but Adam, after our conversation today this really made me laugh out loud. And Brad, I think you might be on to something there. Happy New Year all!!
ReplyDeleteHad a great time at the New Year WOD today and got to thinking about what I'm thankful for as the year draws to an end. Of course very thankful for the crew at Red but especially for Isaac who helped me get started with all this crazy Crossfit action. I am so glad the peeps from the old Crossfit Junction were welcomed so warmly to Red. I think I speak for us all when I say we love our new crossfit home but the icing on the cake is when Isaac started as a trainer. Isaac, love you man, thanks for whuppin my butt into shape and I nominate you for trainer of the year!
ReplyDeleteps no disrespect to Weaver and please don't hurt me on Monday
