Why I cannot stand crossfitters.

[willski52]

Bodybuilders don't like Crossfit. Crossfiters don't like bodybuilding. Wow, riveting thread.

[distantarray]

this is why i hate crossfitters

[bluemarlinO4]

People get really into crossfit games.

Plus steroids help with recovery, and Crossfitters need more recovery than your average lifter.

You cannot be serious...Should triathletes juice too?

I don't mind what you do in the gym. But when you take up every piece of equipment and walk around the gym like you own the place when in reality you started working out within the year it is annoying.

I thought they have their own gym?

[3000RT]

Crossfit has nothing on Defrancos training

[DaBurg3r]

dat asses

[Alper_The_Weak]

today I did my first crossfit workout, it kicked my ass beyond anything I have done, flipping a 835lb tire for 15? deadlifting >500lbs? 20 rep squats? all were ****ing cake compared to what I had to do today.

Too bad you never did any of those. I never deadlift because of my old hernia injury (got fat in the hospital) ... and I am willing to bet that even now, at 2:08am in the morning without any sleep, and a **** ton of scar tissue from surgery (last year), I can deadlift more than your lying ass. Tell you what, at 4am I'll go to golds gym (without any sleep, and on a massive cut) ... and I'll see what I can deadlift.

I am calling you out. I'll get a video of my fat ass deadlifting, and you better best it. I doubt I can even get 300lbs, but I'm sure you wont get anywhere near 500. Also, we are going to do this 100% raw. No belt, straps, or even gloves. Don't even ****ing wear powerlifting briefs.

I think you'll find that in real terms, a skinny guy who can snatch a 20lb kettlebell for 50 reps is actually functionally stronger than a weightlifter who can snatch 250lbs for a measly one rep.

I'll agree that people who train crossfit in regular gyms, using up alot of equipment would be a ****ing pain in the ass, but don't talk **** on the program if you have never tried it. I had the same misconceptions about it being stupid beforehand, but I've seen insane results from a lot of the people training with it at my gym, so I decided to give it a go while cutting.

And I train at a proper crossfit gym btw, so don't hate on me for using your space.

at the age of 17 you've deadlifted 500lbs and flipped an 835lb tyre 15 times have you?

Is a kettlebell harder than a dumbbell? Because every day I warmup by snatching 25lb dumbbells for 50 reps o.0 .. I cant snatch anywhere close to 250.

i'm pretty sure that same weightlifter could easily snatch a 20lb for 50

[Alper_The_Weak]

sorry to disappoint, brah, but I did all of those, I competed in a strongman comp on the weekend and got 3rd in the heavyweight class, repped 220kg (485lbs) for 5 (6, but missed 1 lockout) lady from my gym videotaped it, Ill get the vid soon.

thing is brah, I'm 6'3 300lbs, so its not super impressive at that weight.

here is a pic of the medal I won.

Maybe so. Let's get a vid. Theres some proof. But this is the misc... deadlift more than what I can (I am recovering from an injury, dieting to hell, depressed as ****, and havent slept all night, and dont deadlift) ... and you have your win. But what you listed are some SERIOUS ass stats. Just a single rep raw is all I want to see. And if you can indeed deadlift what you say you can (meaning you could single 600+ easily), then Ill take a look at crossfit.. as im sure everyone else will.

In any case, you're pretty ****ing enormous.. at least give me something tow work towards lol.

ffs, how could anyone think I was being serious?

[ProjectCG]

So i did crossfit for about 6 months and besides improved endurance i looked exactly the same. And almost all the people that i know that have done it for long periods of time dont look any different than when they started. Its just not that useful and is always completely in the way. Id rather do strength and bodybuilding routines and do some HIIT for cardio.

[SmarterChild]

i still have no idea wtf this is. is this like P90x?

[ABRAHAM_SOLOMON]

That guy would of went home and fapped like he has never, ever, F*CKING EVER fapped before.

Crossfit is pretty damn good if you ask me. Can make you fit as f*ck. Keyword there ^^^!!!

However, there is one thing I notice and it's only with SOME of the crossfitters is that they think their sh*t is the best and only way to train and all other fitness athletes are crap.

u fukin fraudin brah, no one has razr's anymore. gtfo.

thats what i mean.

they act lke they were the first to invent training like this.

whtas wrong with working out and doing cardio and oly lifts? they act like they are something special.

[armdong]

o rly?

I'm getting a new phone in 3 weeks, when I turn 18 so I can get the contract under my own name.

so you've had that razr since you were 13 when they came out?

[Alper_The_Weak]

lol, I CANNOT single 600+, I can hit 5 plates no worries, but no way in hell could I get close to 600lbs, the 485lbs in competition was raised 3' aswell btw, used a pair of tires instead of plates.

and I didn't get those gains from crossift, I have been training at a crossfit gym doing my own strength training, today was my first crossfit workout, and it kicked my ass.

Still gonna see what I can do without aggravating the site of my surgery. I'll just go as heavy as I can until I start feeling stressed around my scar. Maybe the misc can give me some tips... seems like some people actually lift lol.

[Alper_The_Weak]

LOL dude, you're big on this raw stuff... A 600 lb strapped deadlift is damn impressive.

Only because I dont possess any of the gear. No straps, nothing...

[ProjectCG]

You have elitist in all types of fitness though. Sounds like the group at your gym is a bad batch.

But i do agree that circuit training has been around long before crossfit. Someone basically just brand named it and marketed it right.

And if your main goal is athlete there are more effective programs for that too. Crossfit makes you think you are training super hard because it kicks your ass but in reality doesnt do much for you. The only plus i can see of crossfit is time management. Other than that kind of a gimmick in my opinion.

[Rabinator]

A little E-stalking found this picture. Want.

[bluemarlinO4]

I thought the same thing not long ago, but the results I've seen from the people who train at my gym are quite amazing, not to mention the trainers are all jacked, lean, and relatively strong.

yes but do they only do crossfit?

[scott_lycan]

anyone talking shiit on crossfit, quite obviously hasnt ever done crossfit.

[kethnaab]

Crossfit is so retarded. It's 100% high rep work beyond that of what a bodybuilder begins to approach, has an even smaller neuromuscular effect, not to mention that neuromuscular effects dont change hypertrophy, they affect coordination and strength via muscle fiber recruitment and efficiency. So ****ing retarded.

BRB doing deadlifts with 10lb bumper plates and getting jacked fibraz.

I'm not sure what crossfitters you've seen, but I don't know of any who do that.

I've been using it for a few months now to avoid f'ing up my injuries and I'm liking it so far, and I damn sure ain't using 10-lb bumper plates on a deadlift

So i did crossfit for about 6 months and besides improved endurance i looked exactly the same. And almost all the people that i know that have done it for long periods of time dont look any different than when they started.

I think the thing about Crossfit is how hard you have to work to get strength/muscle building benefits. Substantially harder than bodybuilding. Substantially.

i've gotten to the point where I separate "strength" crossfit workouts somewhat from "endurance" crossfit workouts. I have workouts that emphasize strength earlier on in the workout and then once I get some of the primary strength building exercises out of the way with slightly lower reps and slightly longer rests, I move into the "vomit" portion of the workout. Instead of doing a 98432-station workout, I break it into sections.

like any workout program or routine, if you stop taking it as a way to improve yourself and start defending it as if its your religion, chances are good you are going to aggravate the **** out of people and the reality is that NOTHING works well for EVERYBODY.

Everything works.
Nothing works forever.
Nothing works equally well for all people.

Those are about the only 3 rules I've ever found that are true.

Also note that if you look at alot of the GPP that powerlifters such as WSB and strongmen espouse, it is a "crossfit" style of training in many cases. Work performed / unit time. If you're pumping out the reps like they're easy, you're not doing it right. It's that simple.

You can get a brutal crossfit workout without taking up half the gym. You can take a 10-station circuit workout and break it up into trisets and still lay your ass to waste.

Crossfit workout that DOESN'T suck for everyone around you:

1) 20-rep squats
2) walking kettlebell lunges (pass kettlebell between legs as your hind knee lightly touches the ground)
3) Heavy bag - 100 right crosses, 100 left hooks for time
4) GHR x bodyweight

repeat x 4 with no rest

1) Concept rower x 4 minutes x 1 KM
2) 35 "hop" pushups (pushups where you push your upper body into the air after touching your chest to the floor)
3) strict pullups x bodyweight x 30 (do as many strict, and when you can't get anymore strict ones, do negatives until you are starting to lose control, then do jumping pullups)
4) Parallel bar dips x 25 (if you can't get the 25 strict, then do as many strict, and lower yourself for negatives until you get to 25)

repeat x 4 with no rest

1) side plank lifts, feet on slantboard, elbow on floor (50 x each side)
2) box jumps x 50 jumps for time
3) slant board parallel medicine ball tosses
4) "stadium stairs" - use same box, and touch right foot to box top with left foot on ground, immediately switch feet so that right foot is on ground, left foot on box top = 2 "stairs") x 100 stairs
5) planking jacks (get in pushup position, do "jumping jacks" with feet while maintaining plank position and hands steady) x 100
6) lateral pushup walks (need a cardio room to do this)

repeat until you're done

14 exercises, done circuit fashion, yet you never take up more than 2 stations at a time, and a lot of the time, "working in" is easily accomplished since pullup bars, dipping bars, and the floor are pretty easy to share.

so there ya go.

it ain't "crossfitters" that you hate.

it's a$$holes who do crossfit"

[bluemarlinO4]

thats not what i meant.

obviuosly its better than not working out.

its just some pretend that bbing is stupid and for juice heads.

[SiZzLaX]

I've been doing crossfit at home to start getting back into working out before I hit up a gym again.. sheits pretty good. Don't see why ppl would take up lots of room tho
