    Crossfit vs. Bodybuilding (training for mass)

    This is copy/paste from the crossfit website. How do you all feel about this statement...

    Here is a hierarchy of training for mass from greater to lesser efficacy:
    1. Bodybuilding on steroids
    2. CrossFitting on steroids
    3. CrossFitting without steroids
    4. Bodybuilding without steroids
    The bodybuilding model is designed around, requires, steroids for significant hypertrophy.
    The neuroendocrine response of bodybuilding protocols is so blunted that without "exogenous hormonal therapy" little happens.

    3 and 4 should be switched. Crossfit is great and all and if you keep at it you will gain some good mass, but it just doesnt give you the hypertrophy a bodybuilding routine does.

    ...?

    Crossfit is great for functional strength, but bodybuilding is superior for mass.


    If it was bodybuilding vs. say, Olmypic gymnastics training by Coach Sommers, then I'd be of a mixed view.
