Facepalm moments

Dave Traeger · 03-30-2012, 01:35 PM

Over on CFFB blog, there was a comment from someone who was 6' 185# starting to stall on his lifts. A few people responded saying he was a little on the light side, should try eating more and reassess.

Someone else then responds with:

Quote:

Wait im 6" 160 with 10% body fat and 185 is to light? I eat right I just read the talk to me johnny and I eat right but maybe not enough? 3 big meals and one snack but I've never felt better. Will I not gain much weight without eating more.
FYI I do CFFB and seal fit so it's hard gain weight cause I loose it fast

And i couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't check back to see if he was joking or not, but he's doing sealfit and cffb and is 160# and says it's hard to gain weight. This was a real facepalm moment for me.

Do you guys have any facepalm moments from crossfit, work, relationships or wherever that you'd like to share?

My biggest facepalm moment with crossfit was when I couldn't figure out why I was getting lightheaded. Then I added up my daily calories and was at like 1200 or something like that.

I'm an idiot.

EDIT: Actually I have a better one. Today at work, a woman was talking about that pink slime stuff in ground beef, saying it's going to kill you and she won't touch the stuff ever again. Meanwhile, she was smoking and hacking up a lung.

People eating 10 small meals a day in order to stoke their metabolism.

-People being worried about catabolism because they couldn't have breakfast ¬¬

-Not gaining weight in 4 months (me)

One of my class mates said a chest supported row is the exact same as a bench press.

People taking the Crossfit concept and making it into something stupid:

I turned it off at the alternating kb press and fire one round. That was stupid.

NOOOO. You missed the best part - they do upside down crunches and then shoot at the target. Nothing can go wrong there.

god dam rednecks... seriously. now i know all americans arent the same but these guys are just exactly the stereotype

"lets take something.... and make it better WITH GUNS YEEEEHHHHHAAAAWWWWWWW"

You might want to lay off the GD rednecks bit, champ. I'm sure I could find any number of videos of Aussies doing something stupid, but I'm not going to try to claim they represent anything other than individual idiots.

Sorta like I'm sure this (WFS) is an accurate stereotype of Australia, right?
