Not trolling, just can't figure out if a CrossFit training group would be SO stupid as to think this ridiculousness is a "thing." While I imagine it is a joke, I could see someone thinking it was a good idea . . .

Is it real? Or a joke presented stone-faced serious? I keep going back and forth . . .

You havent been to my gym.
The best is Bulgarian Split Squat Dumbbell Thrusters. And snatch grip Yates row curls. I wish I was making this stuff up.
The problem is these kids are like 14-15 and the "trainer" is like 21 and my forearms are bigger than his quads (and I dont have big forearms) so I dont think any of them really know any better - except the gym is charging money for the stupidity.
I feel like flying Mark Rippetoe in for an intervention.
In their only defense they let me use chalk and deadlift heavy without any complaint.

That's not something crossfit football has ever programmed, and I don't know why that site is attributing it to them. I don't know why you're attributing it to crossfit at all - it looks like something I can see teenage kid doing with six of his buddies in a weight room, all trying to out-do each other on "who can make the craziest exercise." We've all been there.
Anyway, to address the rest of this thread - yeah, crossfit works if your goal is to get good and competitive at crossfit. Yes, that's a thing. Crossfit football works for people who want to play football, too. It's all structured around Squats (and front squat and pause squat) Deadlifts (and rack pulls, rdls, sometimes deficit or sumo dls) Power Cleans, Bench, and OHP for strength work, and the various crossfit gymanstic skills, box jumps, rope climbs, double unders, medicine ball work, and sprints for conditioning. I don't see what about that isn't "the simple basic stuff that works".
BTW if troll 6/10. GJ making a fake website to link this to CFFB (If it was actually posted to their site, it was more than 6 months ago...) but minus points for being unoriginal. Lol crossfit sux has been done to death already.

I wasn't "attributing it to their site." They were.
They posted it to their own ******** page on February 28. (https://www.********.com/pages/Cross...l/131891959611)
Which is how I saw it. Which is why I was like "what the. . . ?"
But thank you for blindly flying in to the unnecessary defense of CrossFit, even when it was they who were making idiots of themselves.
The mother ship thanks you for drinking their Kool-Aid. You will be commended.www.TheNextLevel.me
