Now with Mr. Auggie's quick wit.

Me: Mr. Auggie... green bands for pull-ups.

Mr. Auggie: I'm actually feeling strong today Chris. I won't need a band with my rings.

"We’re well aware of your snatch PR.

We can indeed hear you grunting as you rep out.

We know you hold the top spot on the squat leaderboard. And yes, we know all about your big bag of supplements, your special gear, your amp-up music and your pre-lift routine.

But a great many of us really don’t care about your strength numbers.

Here’s why: You’re in a CrossFit program."

- Mike Warkentin. CrossFit Journal article, An Open Letter to the "Big Dogs"

As much as I used to clash with Jacob and Faust when they were in here, I always respected the fact that despite whatever their throughts about the program was, they always push themselves on any workout I asked them to - which usually happened to involve things other than heavy lifting WODs.

Mike Warkentin, CrossFit Journal editor, penned the article above probably in response to some people in his gym or people he's seen travelling to different affiliates. I can definitely relate with some of his points but I have never experienced the blatant meatheadedness he details. Either way, it's a pretty entertaining read.
