New CrossFit training?

I propose to make this one an official new CrossFit training exercise and call it “Girl Pick-Ups.”  You need to do at least 5 reps with a girl weighing at least 2/3rd of your body weight. The grunting and yelling is mandatory, or it doesn’t count. Gotta be “intense”, like the girl says at the end of this video…

I have to admit to having done similar things in the past: I bench pressed pretty much every woman I’ve been involved with in the last ten years. Why? Because they eventually always insist on asking me how strong I am and could I lift this or pick up that. Which always feels like a weird question to me as I’m long past the stage of trying to impress a woman for her to like me. But I guess it’s just one of those things.

So instead of picking up something really heavy (which I already do plenty of in my conditioning training), I offer to squat or bench press her if she absolutely needs to know how strong I am. Which has the added benefit of always resulting in the two of us lying on the floor bodies intertwined. There are worse things in life…

And no, I never dropped any of those women like the guy in the video does. Though as a friend of mine would say: given how some of those relationships turned out, maybe I should have tried to throw them as far away as possible. (Some of my friends are a bit… Offbeat.)
