Retarded trainer in the gym told me...

[VICgotgame]

I don't do crossfit but the guy has a point, they can do the sh!t you lifters do and can do there own sh!t - you guys can only lift weights
Hence the reason I mix it up all the time

Functional muscle motherfuuckkersssssssssss

And you're still red. Your comment is therefore invalid.

[Bodybreak]

Well if you look at lifts that include your endurance, yes. But the fact he said stronger in the deadlift, bench, and squat is just stupid. We definitely squat more. He's comparing guys like Rich Fronning (that his name?) to non pro bodybuilders. He isn't even aware of bodybuilders doing deadlifts heavier than 375.

BB'rs would have a lower squat.

Any GOOD crossfitter will have a background in oly lifting. Most guys up top are all hitting over 405 on the Front Squat.

Don't be mad that your muscle is useless

brb you cant even manage your own bodyweight lmao weak *******

[IronSh33k]

OP tell him "Hey, I heard you're into fitness. How about fitness cawk in your mouf (no homo)"

[Pythonix]

Id say he is probabaly right but who cares - bodybuilders are bigger thus the majority of people percieve them as stronger

[Mumra]

Crossfit is the figure skating of the "fitness world". slinging small weights around with terrible form doesn't make you strong. it makes you good at slinging small weights around with terrible form. I mean it's really just an excuse not to lift heavy weight.

[HamburgerTrain]

He compares pro to pro and normal cross fitter to normal bodybuilder. It's annoying. He talks about it every gym session. Rustles my jimmies and makes me lol

In that case, yea. He is right. But, it sounds like he is being a dick about it for no reason. Next time he brings up, say "Look, you might f*cking suck enough at everything to care what other people do, but you are hindering my personal journey to better myself. So, mind your own f*cking business. Or, don't. Just go f*ck yourself either way."

[TsarChasm]

The only thing that bothers me about crossfit is the general attitude most crossfit people have. I do try to incorporate some "crossfit-esque" type things into my cardio days to build up endurance. As far as fitness goes the crossfit guys have to take the edge because it is pretty high intensity for cardio reasons. But most of the crossfit guys look like they dont lift physique wise.

[hellbilly1912]

He's trying to sell you a $150/mo membership. Nothin to see here.

looolllllllllllllllllllll

[SugarFree1]

Power lifters lift heavier weights than I ever will too but I have no aspirations of wanting as high a body fat level as they normally have. I guess we all have our own goals but at least for me I don't have much care in telling anyone what my max lifts are. My priorities are only appearance and would be happy if I could continue to progress with building muscle/losing fat while lifting less. With that said though, I dont see where any bodybuilder is not doing the same or similar type exercises as a crossfit member.

[datderecreatine]

Crossfit *******s are stronger and this is coming from a bodybuilder. You don't even have to be a scientist to figure that out. It's just commonsense. Just look at the way these guys train. They train for strength and endurance while we train for physique.

**** that. Consistent progressive overload only. Obviously we will have more strength than those *******s. How about you no cardio *******. I box and do powerlifting. I will wreck all cross fit motherfckers.

This may be the worst analogy I have ever heard.

There are good things and bad things in both Crossfit and bodybuilding.

Crossfit should start with a base of learning movements, and then building a strength base.

Conditioning is a lot easier to get then strength.

I for one love the Crossfit movement because it is pushing gyms to have more squat racks, more free weights, and bumpers.

[HamburgerTrain]

Pretty sure there is about a trillion hours of "bodybuilders" doing dumb $hit in the gym and hurting themselves on youtube.

[HamburgerTrain]

How many fights have you had/meets have you done? If the answer is zero to both, then you don't box nor do you powerlift. You just workout.

dmitry klokov, I really hope its true that he is going to compete in crossfit

[SerpentHearted]

sounds like a bunch of pre-teens arguing whether justin beiber is more dreamy than one direction or not. the sort of thing i'd usually respond "this is the pointless crap people argue about when they don't lift weights every day". Who cares? Do you what you want to do for your own reasons, not so you can lecture people about how much better it is than what other people do, like they should respect you for it or something. No one gives a ****. Why should they?

Man, this is an extremely self limiting attitude. Define normally high body fat levels. We have many weightclasses for men and women. Also, the top tier people in every class aren't fat slobs. Being strong is not an excuse to be fat just like being weak is not an excuse to be tiny. You can lift heavy weights and be strong without turning into a fat f*ck. Just most people shy away from it because its really goddamn hard.

[craigiemac412]

I for one love the Crossfit movement because it is pushing gyms to have more bumpers.

Why do you need bumpers in the first place? So you can let the bar crash onto the floor after half the movement?

The most irritating thing I have about cross fit (which was nicely demonstrated in that video posted on p1) is that they only do half the movement with max weight and then basically just drop that **** wherever it may fall. Respect the weight, respect your abilities, and do a FULL movement with good form.

everyone knows even the 74kg lifters are 72% BF

you left out one more positive coming from Crossfit. Orthapedic surgeons will never be out of work. being good at Crossfit is like bragging about getting laid because you buy hookers.

[mferrandi]

your personal trainer is a retard, I'm a bodybuilder, I'm always ripped, and I'm quite strong, maybe there are some crossfitters out there who are stronger than me, but they are probably on the juice, I'm natty

[MyBaddBrah]

I'm no crossfitter but lettuce be reality, crossfitters are more athletic. If an untrained crosfitter and bb fought, the crossfitter would win. Bodybuilder would gas out much quicker.

[Mumra]

dmitry klokov, I really hope its true that he is going to compete in crossfit

if he does this he'll smoke them all.

[krazedxboi]

crossfit is like the opposite of fight club because the first rule of crossfit is to always talk about crossfit
