This is good satire about overly-aggressive folks / jerks heh.

I guess the one nit I have is about the predilection to rag on weightlifters. It's just a hobby for many people. I don't do it myself, but I have met loads of the friendliest people that do. Working out, having protein shakes, and eating hard-boiled eggs do not make someone a jerk. /shrug

Substitute weightlifting for crossfit. I know a guy who used to do his burpees in the office.

The best is hand exercisers for an entire 30 minute 1x1. That was my first 1x1 with said manager after I got reorganized under him. He tried to hand me a really awful Excel project at minute 29.5 after asking me what SRE means and what I do for the first 29 to a wonderful squeak squeak squeak soundtrack, and I immediately handed him my badge and left the premises. (True story. Not proud, but I couldn’t stay sane 30 minutes, let alone 30 quarters.)

Crossfitters do seem to be a bit more... intense... about it than people who just lift. It can be this whole lifestyle and almost religion with some of them, particularly if it is dual-classed with other health & fitness fads, which is a little tiresome to be around.

Are you really against people wanting to live a healthier lifestyle, though?

[maxxxxx]

I have my doubts about Crossfit being a healthy long term proposition. From what I have seen only a few people keep it up long term. It seems more like a short term rush. Reminds me of people who get into running, then train for marathons, do one and then stop running because the effort is too much.

I don't think anyone is against CrossFit. The general concern is that many of their athletes lift weights with poor technique and eventually end up injured, which isn't healthier at all.

It's one thing to live a healthy lifestyle, it's another to keep pushing it on other people. The former is commendable, the latter is annoying.

Works pretty well for the gym though, I wonder if this is intended or not. ..

or long distance runners.

Not people who do a 5k once a week as part of working out, or run a couple miles.

The people who obsess about it. Everything is about running.
