Crossfit is taking over.

[Vasilyevich]

You're having pain because your form is so terrible bro. That BS of doing half reps is only making it worse whether you want to admit it or not.

Bench is a full body, compound lift. Its time to start treating it with the respect it deserves

Watch this. All of them

I Will check it out. If I'm doing it wrong, then that means I could possibly put up alot more weight if I do it right? Or not... Whole body lift? Mind = blown. You just phuked me up for the rest of the night cause I can't figure out how it's a whole body lift. Alright, time to watch dem vids..

Not necessarily, you may have to drop the weight and work on form for a while.

Can't believe people are hating on crossfit. By doing it, I have lost 5 pounds. I know it doesn't sound much, but I have also converted 10 lbs of fat to muscle.

I also credit Visalyus and Shakeology for my success, but the muscle confusion, muscle splits, compound OLY lifts and functional fitness has really turned me into a beast in my crossfit box.

LMFAO, I almost pissed myself. WTF is happening there?

[berstare]

bros.

never heard of this crossfit **** before but my gym recently added an expansion room next to the weight room and a bunch of people are doing some loopy **** in there. after reading this thread it must be none other than crossfit. i've seen some weird **** in there, though. just the other day this chubby manlet was doing jedi poses and pretending to shoot fire from his hands i **** you not. crazy times we're living in.

Maybe they were also trained in Afflliction/MMA. I typically shadowbox and shadowfight using the gym mirrors. The throwing fire thing is called "HAlycootcho", not to be attempted by anyone. It's an advanced move in Affliction training. You would know if they were offical members though, they would have been wearing "affliction" tshirts.

No one thinks its a pull up. Its a movement used when an event is being judged for time

The worst part about this is that most of you are making all of these dumb judgements based on a few fail videos from youtube

I have run across some crossfitters who think kipping is just fine during a pull up. They think it counts as one which is just laughable.

[TheGame76]

I just hate when doing the following exercises people assume you are a cf'er/do cf:

-Anything with a tire...flip, drag, or using a hammer to swing against
-Kettlebell anything...and might I add the CF/American style kb swing is absolutely retart
-Barbell complexes...really any circuit training/complexes
-Weightlifting

Wow someone actually made a good point. Very few people have the hip power, shoulder mobility or ability to not overextend the lumbar to do an American swing correctly. Almost everytime I see someone do this movement it is so far off its just rediculous. Basically a Russian swing to a delt raise.

That's functional strength m8. You never know when you might have to overhead squat whilst balancing on a tractor tire in real life, nomsayin?

(Also, dat female bar with giant 10# plates, Lol.)

lol @ your Affliction credentials. Bro, I train UFC, the best of the best. In between sets (or rounds) I'm on the ground constantly practicing hip outs and triangle chokes on my imaginary opponent. Everyone is staring but I know they're just jealous of my pure ****in alphaness.

rofl I can't believe crossfitters think of stupid sh*t like this to do.

BRB tire tipping over and dropping barbell on my head
BRB ending all athletic activity for years to come

When you do an exercise, it shouldn't have a high possibility of maiming you

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

Absolutely you could. I always tell people with chit form that I can add 10lbs to their bench in 1 training session just by correcting their form. I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Start benching the right way and you'll understand why I said its a full body lift. You think theses big guys are moving 5-6-700 lbs on just the small muscles in their chest and arms?

[PipeHitter808]

have yet to see a jacked crossfitter

they can do kipping pullups all day, but the person who's doing weighted chinups with 90lbs is going to get jacked as fuk

[ChernobylResist]

this. I'd rather see crossfit people than fat ***s any day of the week. Bodybuilding isn't the end al, be all in fitness.

[brandosthetics]

if the majority of crossfitters weren't such pretentious kunts crossfit wouldn't bother me.

Thanks bud. I appreciate the insight.

Why would it bother you regardless? Is it because you are a skinny beta *******?

[leoaa777]

Everyone has a few friends like this: never lift a lb in their lives, all of a sudden zomg look at my handstand. Lulz

[Apollo 13]

Crossfit doesn't bother me one bit. It looks fun and looks like it help with athleticism compared to just straight up doing bodybuilding only. If I wasn't so expensive I probably would do it but wouldn't get caught doing those kipping pull ups.

That is the Olympics of crossfit competitions. Just compare that to regular bodybuilding competitions. Doesn't even compare.

lol why are your jimmies so rustled manlet

[LiftingSteve93]

dude I saw you doing push-ups in the parking lot, you totally do crossfit... you do 1 arm snatches with a barbell? how heavy? hard? why? just curious

I just started them a few weeks ago but I can hit 135 consistently. I do them more for explosiveness than anything, and less technical than the actual Oly lifts. Also help strengthing should joint imo. Sometimes I do it with the fat gripz to make it harder as well.

[elperfecto]

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

[Vasilyevich]

LOL.. that manlet would stretch you out in more ways than one. You even lift?

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?

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 ran stadiums and flipped tires this Sunday. Other than my calves and forearms being sore as phuck I feel great.

[PipeHitter808]

You are 6'1'' and 170lbs? Do you even lift?
