It seemed like he failed to even do the 10km run after the pushups, situps, and squats. The instructions are very clear, the run comes last.

Fucking amateur hour, man.

Nooooo! He failed.
You must do 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats, and then a 10 k run EVERY SINGLE DAY.
One sit up less is failure, one missed day in 3 years is failure. He will never be a god.

Seriously though, awesome results from a simple plan anyone can follow. I would really love to see what a year of "level 10" does.
*promote anything Saitama

People with clipboards at the finish line are way different than corporate mascots who want to hand you some branding/identity garbage.

It felt to me more like a statement/protest on his part like "I just finished the race GET THE FUCK AWAY WITH YOUR BULLSHIT." I never said he was physically exhausted to the point of insanity.

budzos, you cant be serious... its a 3k. its not even two miles. i ran timed two miles on a very regular basis goin through the Q. after pushups and situps to boot. the second our run is over we've got cadre with clipboards in our faces demanding our roster number and time (10:14 being my fastest time, if it matters). so either this douche dick just ran a 3k in 4 minutes and as a result is on the verge of muscle failure and lung exhaustion but yet somehow has the energy to very forcefully slap something out of the kids hand and shove him/her.

OR
he's a fucking asshole that needs to get over himself.
he's french.....so i'm leaning towards the latter

Not fake.
The monitor, without video or power cords attached tips because the cat is rubbing up against it. That's also why the cat's head quickly jumps out, it's coming back to the cat's center of gravity so it doesn't fall over too. That's also why the cat doesn't jump, it already knows the big noise is coming, and is trying to act nonchalant.
The guy doesn't flinch because he's focusing on the situps with his eyes closed. Finally I'll attribute the camera being perfectly positioned to catch all the action to the million monkeys typing scenario. The camera does seem to be on the floor, and was likely propped up so half the frame wasn't floor (which would probably mess with the autofocus).

Not sure if you're being serious or not, but why would a monitor randomly be sitting there without a power cord, A.V. cord, or potentially a speaker cable?

Not to mention, cat's don't move at the speed of light. it's not possible that it's head can travel 3 inches forward in the blink of an eye. At least, not when it's standing still.

I can accept that his eyes may be closed, but I won't accept "Faster then Light kitty" as a reasonable analysis of the cat.

Would be nice to know what exactly his exercise plan was. I mean, if he spent 4 hours a day working out then these results are kind of expected. But I also know people that have simply cut out snacks and deserts from their diet, run every once in a while and do a few situps/pushups each day that have transformed in a similar fashion.


I see people doing the P90X program getting similar (or better) results in only a few months, but that does involve exercising ~1 hour per day for 6 days a week.

I'm currently doing the P90X workouts and they're amazing. Hopefully I can find a way to work the nutrition plan into it as well, but my schedule isn't kind to such things currently. Even without using the nutrition plan, I've had great results from the program.

Wow, couch experts for the win. The idea of the kipping pull-up in the context of a Crossfit workout is, as imstellar28 pointed out, to maximize the power output. It's not a pure strength exercise, it's meant to get your pulse racing and your lungs screaming for air. Also a proper kip requires a surprising amount of coordination, especially when you're so gassed you can barely see in front of you.

Try doing "Tabata something else" - pull-ups, pushups, situps and squats (in that order), for each exercise 8 rounds of 20seconds work, 10 seconds rest, aiming for max repetitions, no rest between exercises. Do that with kipping and tell me the pull-ups were easy, or that you could have gotten a better stimulus from doing dead-hangs.This is not bodybuilding, it's not meant to isolate muscles, it's not meant to make you big and bulky - Crossfit is meant to make you fast, agile and strong (and a bunch of other things as well.) The kipping pull-up lets you keep up intensity in a workout instead of letting your pulse drop down while you do dead-hangs.

This one's pretty weird too.

If you ask the right person nicely, they just might do this voluntarily.

Ahh, exactly the type of friends I've never had and never wanted. I really just don't find the humour in hanging around with a bunch of people where you could be 'pranked' at any moment, so therefore you can't completely relax because maybe, just maybe, something unpleasant might happen.
Bah and humbug to it all.


What it amounts to is hanging out with a bunch of assholes. I've never understood it.

I have always heard of it as the "impossible situp" back in australia...

Baring ass is probably NSFW. And I wouldn't normally vote for something like this, but since you framed it as a PSA of sorts then I felt obligated to upvote. Nice angle.

Don't lie, I know you're waiting to try this on your son...I think he's getting too old for the "quarter behind the ear" trick.

Here's a clip from the same movie...a very surreal movie
