Pretty much this..
Just one example of why I hate crossfitters, Some douche at my gym wears crossfit shirts every day, doesnt even appear to lift, wears these shiny pink reebok's and sucks at cardio.. One of his shirts said "watch me outrun a lifter". I lol'd

I am just iffy about the culture. It seems like a fad full of people who sub consciously want to one up people that have actually been lifting for years.
But jakes on them. I'm not the one paying 200.00 a month for 3 CF classes a week.

I go to gym at peak hours (around 6pm when everyone is off work) and never seen anything like this before and I go to a huge 24 hour fitness that opened a year ago (so you know its packed).

If those are 45 plates that looks hard as **** to do, so...?
[QUOTE=sirbrandon101;836740031][youtube]M8up6A4QesU[/youtube][/QUOTE]
lol, this video again.
How many people laughing at this video also don't even know that a continental clean and jerk is a legitimate movement? That's even more lulzy than the dumb "Crossfitters" in the video who have no business trying to do continental cleans in the first place.

The continental clean video again? It's a legitimate movement, just usually reserved for 250lb Russians moving serious weight.

They're bumper plates, meant to be dropped and to set the bar at the same height with weights lighter than 135.
lol @ at criticizing others but not knowing what bumper plates are

We know what a continental clean and jerk is. We also know that the average cross-fitter should not be attempting them.
That video showed a back holocaust. Somebody should have intervened goddamn.

It's obvious a legit lift, no one is saying it's not. but look at their fukkin form. 90% of the CFers in the video look like they shouldn't be doing anything more than the bar itself.
Edit: rewatched video. make that 100% of CFers.
I'm very aware of what a continental clean is. Doesn't make that video any less ridiculous.
According to some of them having fun is more important than proper form.

The dudes are all skinny, the girls are all skinny fat, and every single person looks like they would crumble if they squatted 225.
I genuinely feel bad for those people because they have no idea what they could do with competent trainers that didn't charge $200 a month for stuff like that video. They probably saw a video of Lipson doing strongman stuff and tried to copy it. Difference is that Lipson was an actual strongman competitor before he started Crossfit and is just a strong mother****er in general.
