I'm serious, too. I spent 5~ish years hanging out with some Harley peeps - attended Sturgis every year types. Super great people. Bikes are fun. Honestly, I'd love one, but don't consider myself balanced enough to handle it. Best to know our limitations.

Hanging with bikers is where I figured out unions were shit, too. At a bike convention in Chicago, we accidentally plugged in a lamp. A union guy came around, told us to pull it out, asked us for $25, and put the plug into the socket for us. Nothing but robbery.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

Can you go dirt biking over there or is it all private property?

There is a dad at the gym teaching his kids to do crossfit "pull-ups". Am I supposed to call child protective services or what?

They are at least good for coordination.

I know you've seen people trying to do them who can't keep the motion going.

Why all the hate for CrossFit? Looks like more natural human motions to me.

Absolutely not.

Crossfit is notorious for teaching very, very bad form that is often dangerous. They actually thought of adding "high intensity" with "Olympic lifting" and thought that was a good idea.

Those Crossfit pull-ups build little to no strength. You are just swinging on the fucking bar like dying fish.

My main focus is in gymnastics strength training. Pull-ups of all kinds are like the bottom rung of the progressions. Look at that video above, and then look at how we do these kinds of movements:



Which do you think actually makes you stronger each week?
