Crossfit is the worst thing that ever happened to the fitness industry!
This CrossFit craze is the worst thing that ever happened to the fitness industry! Form goes right out the window and injuries are running rampant!

I almost opened a cross fit gym. I know what you mean they teach brutal technique.

We have had a few "cross fit types" come into our gym. Our gym offers a cross fit class. Needless to say they don't stay. The meat head gym I workout at does more circuit training and teaches proper technique. . . classes offered now only 2 times a month. They are taped for our enjoyment.

They just started a cross fit class in our gym this last month I have seen a lot of limping and puking going on.

I saw someone "kipping" on the pull up bar the other day and he was so proud of himself.

This fad will end soon just like every other fad. Have some faith guys.
If they weren't in the way or distracting, I really wouldn't have a problem with those fvcks. I bet surgeons and physicians love those guys.

Crossfit the worst thing to happen to the fitness industry? No way. 5-minute abs and the thought that fitness and rock hard abs can come in just 5-minutes with their device.
I'm not a fan of CF by any means but they do get people up and working out and many "boxes" at least get people thinking about nutrition even if it's whacky. Now I hate those DB's that think CF is the only real way to get fit.

Where I come from Kipping means napping. Doing that on a pull up bar would actually be quite impressive.

the premise of high intensity intervals and crossfit is great, especially when training for sports that involve 3 minute rounds and short shifts. But the "crossfit types" ruin it. The self indulgent, higher than though people who sacrifice technique and safety to get higher numbers. Cross fit carries with it this whole culture of personality amongst its members, and atleast where im from, monthly dues are usually around $150-$200 a month for licensed crossfit gyms

They make for decent target practice.

I've seen a few place here that advertise it, but I'll stick to punishing myself in my shop.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Do you really need steroids if all you're doing is using momentum to cheat at exercising?

Gotta watch this YouTube video about CrossFit. Hilarious!

They all use traditional methods for training. If they practiced crossfit, they would actually lose strength and endurance. How much "work" is involved in kipping a pullup?
I don't really know for fact that they don't use crossfit to train for their competitions, but I've heard from several reasonably credible sources that they don't.Last edited by Honkey_Kong; 04-14-2014 at 03:29 PM.
