Trying to get lean. What do you guys think of crossfit?

[chris@revotechnik]

Oh, and I love how you took the time to google some CF gyms around me just to post the names of them. You don't know anything about them, yet you'll stake claim to the fact that they supposedly actually practice what they preach on their website geared towards generating business. Uh...duh...

You said none near you offer this, I could have posted links to all the gyms in my area that did and you would have just still said none near you did. So by actually going and showing you that specifically ones in your area do that was now wrong.

Didn't ask for your help or anyone elses..

Fact is you were wrong, they do offer it.

If we can't assume that they don't practice what they have on their website then we can't assume that they practice the CF programming either.

You are just the type of smug ahole that needs a good punch in the face to bring you back to reality.

You may as well just post blah, blah, blah, blah until this thread gets locked.

Isn't being a smug ahole a pre-req for CF?

Is your doctor clueless?

This shows how ridiculous you are. There is a huge difference between what the pregnant cross fitters are doing, and what is recommended for pregnancy. Get educated before posting.

Cant argue with... We were wrapping up our evening last weekend and there were a couple of clowns doing pushups, in a middle of a crowded bar. I told my girl, lookie, crossfiters. They got up and one a a cf tshirt. I laughed, she was pissed cause she is a new crossfiter.

I always do push-ups in the middle of a crowded bar. Right before slamming a Zima and puking in the urinal of course.

I prefer doing pushups in the library.

It's weird that you can do pushups in a bar without someone kicking your ass.

I couldn't make this **** up, but we are on a meeting at work right now and one of our sales guys hobbeled in on crutches because he tore his quad last week after starting CF. He posted pics a couple weeks ago to get some guys motivated at one of our sales meetings of him training.

They travel in packs and to be fair are in better shape than general population

I can explain this...
He didn't take his recovery drink

I can agree with this as I sit at the Philly airport watching loads and loads of fat people walk by .

I tried CF for a nearly two months, just because I finally had the free time and a group of people who wanted me to start with them. After being taught how to do olympic lifts, all of which I am proficient in, incorrectly... and coming in near the top of the board frequently... I quit. There's no reason I should have had the energy or strength to go do a CF workout and then stop at the gym on the way home to do a real workout.

I also declined doing anything retarded like deadlifts/cleans/etc. for reps.

[leakypipeDCI]

the number of boxes went up 50% in the last year and 2012 games brought in something like 70000participants.
cf branded exercise, somehow made itself appealing to men and women while providing a sense of community and competition and charges a premium for it.
it isnt going anywhere soon.

More boxes + less quality control = more injuries

The Glassman divorce nmand pending Anthos buyout are interesting. A storm is coming.

[hashimwatson]

If you need to get motivated and that is what you need- I would recommend getting the workouts down and then GTFO. HIIT isn't that hard to learn and figure out on your own, without the ego centric attitude to accompany it.

Very cool discussion are going on aboveReally the only people that don't hate crossfitters are the crossfitters themselves and I'm not convinced that they don't really hate each other. It's a cult and a dangerous one mentally and for some, physically.

I'm a popular guy with the bots lately. This is the 4th one that has requoted me.
