Look I'll preface this with the fact I did try it

I got injured doing those workouts and other then decent cardio it didn't help me with my goals

Other then that w/e workout is fun for you do it

This is a bodybuilding site so my goal is to build muscle with the least amount of risk for injury something crossfit does not offer me

If you want to be in good condition then you need cardio to last much longer than the 20 minutes a CF workout takes. An hour a day with 2 hours continuously about once a week is ideal. Still better than just lifting for cardio.

For strength, you want more weight, fewer reps. You also want more recovery time so you can move heavier weight. Still better than just cardio for strength.

The best way to be a great athlete is lots of cardio, a regular powerlifting routine, and a lot of calories. Of course, CF is much more time efficient, but your results won't be the same. I have the time to spend so it's not a big deal. I'm doing the military too btw

There are plenty of WOD's that last longer than 20 minutes. I've done WOD's that last up to an hour. I.E. Filthy Fifties, Murph type workouts last 50+ minutes. Once you start getting used to that type of training a lot of times you're doing more than 1 WOD in a day, depending on what they are.

The first 30-40 minutes of a workout at an affiliate SHOULD be warmup, working on some type of skill which is usually strength training or olympic lifting of some sort, then the WOD. So it's not like you walk in, do a 2 minute workout, and leave. And once you have been with an affiliate long enough and have shown you know what you're doing, they usually let you come in whenever you want if you're paying an unlimited membership and simply do...well whatever. Go in and work on your power lifts, Olympic lifts, other skills before your WOD or just whenever.

Hahahahaha who the hell are those guys?









I have a hard time believing the top athletes are natural, especially when $250,000 is on the line now. They make do multiple workouts a day, but their recovery to do these are impressive.

This is what the crossfitters at my gym do



But if done correctly, it is a great workout. I don't do it, but whatever gets people to enjoy working out is good.

You can't do it correctly.

Ok, I read through most of this thread and I'm very surprised at what is being said about The CF workouts/gyms. I suppose my gym is an exception because we lift heavy with our reps typically set at 5. We do our three sets at 65%, 75%, and 85% of our one rep max.

Also it's not even that expensive at $150 for 3 months. I joined CF mainly for the cardio though as I am trying to lean out and increase my endurance for rock climbing. I HAVE been getting stronger with my lifts and lasting longer with climbing so I'm pretty satisfied with crossfit.

$50 a month!? It's $150 a month most other places. Way too expensive. Garage gym. Yes I'm considerate, I don't join a globo gym and take up all the space and piss people off hahaha. And gyms in NYC are too expensive anyways.

Agree my CF gym is pretty similar and it costs me $60/mth

Because kippling pullups are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Plus, its a great way to hurt yourself. Also, they rob you of your money. Its just a money making scheme. There's no reason you have to learn from a certified crossfit trainer when you could just google the workouts and injure yourself on your own.

[QuarterRepCurls]

it seems like the trivialize Olympic Weightlifting with improper form and technique. the way I've seen Oly lifters lift and the way Crossfitters do it is entirely different. would never take advice from a crossfitter about oly lifts

imo, if you are going to teach Olympic Weightlifting, you need to be "USAW" certified. not "CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting" certified.

A lot of the compete in Oly competitions. I agree. They have people like Bergeron constantly going around and teaching though. Same with gymnastics they have people like Tucker and Paoli as well. So they're trying to get experienced people from all aspects to prove themselves which is good. Erin Cafaro was rowing for Team USA yesterday at the Olympics and she helps a lot with rowing form. Romanov and Bryan Mackenzie for pose running.

Slow progress.

And if Annie makes yourdick hard you may be into jacked twilight men.

Holy crap they had a 7 month pregnant women do clean press attempt too heavy.

[Kharvok]

Because crossfitters train for mediocrity.
They arent good runners, and they arent good lifters.

[Napalmjoe]

Think it is inferior to real lifting. So I see absolutly now reason for it, especially when you do and enjoy your cardio anyways.
Also: 110€/135$ for full membership here... nope. Not even for **** and giggles.

[Kiwi_Fella]

Hahahahaha who the hell are those guys?

They are the head trainers at a crossfit gym here in Brisbane. $175 a month to get trained by them

[Reggie20x6]

There's a big freakout going on within the Crossfit community - reported here: http://gawker.com/5931288/crossfitte...cious-crossfit

Here's the original thread: http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=76936

Ciffs:
-Husband and wife form Crossfit
-Husband and wife are going through nasty divorce
-Wife (allegedly) rejected a better offer to sell her half of shares to husband
-Wife instead sold her half to private equity firm that wants to push a business model on the affiliates that is making the CF'ers absolutely lose their sh*t

This is just my speculation, but I would have to assume that the husband hit some of those Crossfit Girls and got caught.

crossfit = circuit training.. which has been around FOREVER

Do you really need expensive membership to do circuit training ?

I pay 159 a month but I also do Muay Thai and Bjj in with it, so its a good deal here. Also, they have a crossfit class for strength in my gym that does low reps high weight, thats the one i do.

LMAOOOOO

my mauy thai membership is $50/month and my gym membership is like $45/month my gym has weight lifting platform for throwing weight

switching currencies since minimum wage in americana is $7.50 and here its like $19 depending which industry.. you are FUKING GETTING RIPPED OFF

thats like $300 aussie dolaros a month LMAOOO wholy shiatttt

[talik]

Don't hate it. I respect everyone who train. Just those kipping retards that i hate(i know not everyone does it). Alot of crossfitters also seems to be very elitist which is very annoying but maybe ive only met the bad apples.

[webepumpin]

i think the worst part about crossfit is the fanatics who can't help but preach 24/7.

i dont care if they risk injury with poor form and rushed workouts, that's their problem. i just dont want to hear about it non-stop (a couple of people at work crossfit).

That's actually not too crazy, a proper oly gym with a good coach will run you at least $100 a month.

what happens if you have a genetically large waist, and you want to look good, how can crossfit help you there?
