This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Are we still doing "crossfit bad" jokes? Because I feel you're setting me up for one here lol

Wasn't trying to. I genuinely like using kettlebells for swings (and clean and presses), and one annoying thing I've noticed is how a lot of gyms don't have any above a low enough weight that the swings don't wear me out unless I've been going at it for a while. And I'm of the opinion that, much like deadlifting, more reps aren't the same as more weight.

Oh no I'm aware kettle bell swings are a pretty normal thing, I'm just imagining someone doing swings with a full barbell and claiming it's part of their new disruptive exercise regime!
