Crossfit is taking over.

[Vasilyevich]

Take those bodybuilders and tell them to flip a tire. It will result in a torn bicep because they have no athletic coordination whatsoever.

WTF man? I see your sig. I play MW3 and Black Ops 2 atleast every other day..... With a triple shot of makers mark on the side. I reeeeeeeffffffffffuuuuuuuussssssssseeee to give it up.

[Socalstylz88]

I'm just glad that crossfit probably reduced the obese population by about, 3%.

^no sauce

[Vasilyevich]

Affliction gives you raw power, the type of power greater than snorting a rail of Jack-3D..

Ahahaha... Never snorted. Took two shots to the face straight from the tub once. Powder in the mouth, little bit-o water, swish it around and gulp it down. No time to shake and sip, was in a rush.

[Apollo 13]

never did one armed barbell snatches but just checked out videos. That sh!t doesn't look like it's good for rotator cuff or elbows am I wrong?

[LiftingSteve93]

I'm also a fan of one armed barbell snatches, also working with 135. You're a beast man, may I ask how old you are?

Thanks. I'm 20

Whatever brah. Even the Navy SEALs aren't tough enough to train affliction most days. Hip outs and triangle chokes are nothing. I put the front desk clerk of my planet fitness gym in an armbar choke and threw him behind the counter today just to show him my alpha status without a fuk given. Affliction gives you raw power, the type of power greater than snorting a rail of Jack-3D. I could choke out a silverback gorilla and 3 pitbulls and get out of the lockjaw grip of the pitbulls without breaking a sweat. Functional fitness does that for you, and makes you a beast.

I laughed so hard reading this. what the **** man,

I could care less if crossfit is taking over. Better than "so now you think you can dance" taking over. I've seen tons of old classmates that are getting in shape for the first time in their life thanks to crossfit. I know there is a few local gyms/boxes/whatever that actually do practice good form on oly lifts and aren't making people do kettleball throws off of a tightwire. The biggest issue is the "snob complex" that seems to come along with crossfit. I've tried it out a few times to see what the fuss was about and always got treated like my powerlifting and bodybuilding training was stupid and sub-par to crossfit circuit training. Sure it's a great cardio workout, but will I acquire massive 3d delts doing this? Hell No. Will crossfit help me pull over 600lbs? It can't hurt but you get the idea. It's great for people trying to get "in shape" but is nothing more than GPP to real bodybuilders/powerlifters.

This is me doing one. It doesn't hurt at all, I think it strengthens it

[xslick]

Have any vids where you actually do full reps?

lol you are clearly mad. He is obviously doing full ROM.. get over yourself you're too jealous.

[TheGame76]

Hey whats up Colorado/Kettlebell brah. Where you train at?

Its a big private strength and conditioning and personal training gym called Next Level near i25 and Colorado. I'm not an expert with kettlebells, but there is trainer at my gym that is so I try to pick his brain and have help help me with technique from time to time. They are only a small portion of my training though.

[shoelaces]

I am surprised how popular it is. I searched on google and there are 3 crossfit gyms within 20 minutes driving range. Considering how expensive the monthly dues are, I wonder how they scam people into signing up.

Here's someone who doesn't do Crossfit and flips tires:

Guarantee these guys were beasts at other sports before going to Crossfit. Crossfit didn't make them super elite athletes beforehand.

[shoelaces]

What a beast

[LiftingSteve93]

Misha may be the best all around strength athlete ever

I love a clean snatch.

[Bananahammock]

I just tell them I don't lift, srs. "What's crossfit?" "Like doing weights and sh!t? Nah, not really my thing." That really kills their superiority feels.

Brb, after snatching their PR, "am I doing this right? First time doing this". So much rustling and jealousy, oh lawd.

does it rustle your jimmies knowing that i do crossfit, and i snatch and clean and jerk what you do, and i weigh 30 pounds less? and i'm taller?

[shoelaces]

He does a little bit everything doesn't he. WL, PL and SM. He needs to get into gymnastics next. 6'4" 340lb gymnast. Love to see that.

You are so wrong it's not even worth arguing with you

Find someone who you think is the best athlete in the world

Put him in a Crossfit competition

See how he does

I didn't say that.

I'm saying the elite athletes that perform those competitions more than likely were elite at another sport prior to coming to Crossfit.

I realize that you have to perform sport specific training for those competitions, but I'm saying many other athletes from other sports have come to Crossfit and done exceptional at those meets. Crossfit didn't initially make them what they are.

Yes it did.

You are talking out of your ass. You know absolutely nothing about Crossfit if you think that's the case. I'm serious. Anyone who has the view that someone will only do well at Crossfit if they were previously elite at another sport does not understand the fundamental ideas behind Crossfit, and in all honesty you probably have never done Crossfit. And you probably take supplements.

In b4 you say Crossfit is just circuit training.

What we could do is find the best athlete in the world and mold them into a great crossfit competitor which I think sword was implying. The people you see in the top competitions didn't start from crossfit, guarantee that.

I used to insult crossfit gyms and criticize them due to my own ignorance and lack of insight but in the past 8 months I've done some 'crossfit' sessions(once a week) at a teammate's gym/box/whatever and it's helped my conditioning a bunch. Also, he helped me with my Oly lifting form, which before was brutal so I didn't incorporate them into my workout routines. The circuit training helped my conditioning and complimented some of the stuff I already do like interval sprints, cone drills, etc. Im not a fan of kipping pull ups, I have a shoulder issue so I prefer to do strict form pull ups as they dont create pain in the joint. I completed the wods the same as everyone else but usually behind others because I was doing strict form pull ups. I believe crossfit is great for people who want to get in shape and immerse themselves into the community mentality. I think for people who train for a specific purpose (I train for a sport) there are better training regimines you can do, but crossfit/circuit training can still be an excellent accessory. The price of membership is a tad rediculous but if it keeps people in good shape and gives them that sense of accomplishment and challenge that we all need then I see the merit behind it. My only real issues are the gyms who do not properly train their members on technique and the militant attitude towards it of a FEW of the participants.

This is the entire point of Crossfit. We don't ever claim to make somebody the best at any given sport. We're for people who want to be good at all sorts of stuff. And the sport of Crossfit evolved out of people testing to see who was fittest all-around, not just in one discipline.

Somehow though, Crossfit has evolved to produce some pretty good weightlifters as well.
