**Bodacious** · 03-09-2015, 11:43 PM

Only thing I can say is my wife does it and I alway give her a hard time about it. She finally talked me into going with her. HOLY SHIT.. It waxed my ass..

I know this site is agaisnt it or whatever. But I use this site for a lot of things.(One reason why I like it.) Dout ill say anything else about it...lol

Now I am at work thinking about going full time and see what happens..

I am thinking about starting a test only cycle again.(Done one already with just weight training and a bulk. Will use it this time for a cut cycle. I what that hard vainy look.) Still be pretty strong.

What is your guys thoughts on this? Crossfit and test cycle? (Might have to ask this question in other thread.

Thanks

I'm not against crossfit, i'm against poor coaches who don't know how to coach and see peoples physical and technical limitations.

Be careful cycling if you nothing for your joints/have joint problems. Connective tissue can be more susceptible to injury during cycle and doing something as hard as crossfit on the joints could be detrimental.

Khazima hey man...yes it just a thought. But good workout for sure. I have done a couple other ones with her before a while back.

Just wondering what the thought was doiing a test cycle and crossfit. Just take basic stuff now for joints

Ive done crossfit on my own, and finally just recently joined a crossfit gym, and i love it.
Khaz is right about the coach thing. I joined a well known gym (sorry hard to say box) the coaches are awesome and they vocus on strength as well as the metcon part.
As far as the cycle, whats the problem? Do you think because of the intensity of the workouts your muscles will explode? Most f crossfits top athletes are on PED's rather other think o or not.
Now when you cycle off im sure your times or reps of the workouts wont be as good. But just tell them, sorry off cycle lol!
Crossfit is great when programmed right, and its a challenge that pushes you like nothing else, jus have fun.

Yeah, that guy in the video is cute. Not ripped as half the people in just a normal crossfit gym. But hes just a comedien. I blame the shitty coaches in crossfit that makes people hate it so much.
Its really up to the person to decide to stop and seak out other forms of fitness. Ive worked with 3 different coaches and ive been liftijg for more than 20 years (now ive had my share of off season due to troubles here and there) my coaches ive worked with have always gave me good form checks and advice.
I like it, i like powerlifting, i like some forms of bodybuilding, i think it's crazy when people trash on other people working out. Ive seen "bodybuilders " doing stupid shit in the gym a long time ago. Never once did i record it or anything, because who really gives a shit? I might have a laugh to myself but the fat ass is the one walking around doing nothing that bugs me more.
But for me myself, i like challenges and i get bored easy, so maybe thats why i like crossfit.
I know 1,000 bac crossfit coaches ruin it though for the 100 or so great ones.
