can I get the truth on crossfit? is it as trash as every faggot wants me to belive? or is it as good as every normalfag says it is? I know I can trust /fit/ to give me a proper response with arguments and proof.

>Trash
It's circuit training the meme. Some are proper weightlifting clubs, with proper weightlifting federation accreditation. Learn oly lifts and then just do 20 reps of them.

Pretty much this
It's glorified circuit training which bastardises a few concepts from established training protocols, all wrapped up in a cult mentality
>Is it trash
Sort of, but if it gets people off their couches then it's not all bad
The thing is that there is a lot of bad press around accidents and injuries people give themselves doing crossfit
I would definitely believe that some of the dumb shit people do at crossfit leads to injuries, but I don't know if there's any actual research into injury rates
Honestly the worst thing about crossfit is just hearing crossfitters sanctimoniously proclaiming themselves better, fitter, stronger, etc than everyone else
>>35252549
Depends really much.
If the crossfit gym just does the WOD and your trainer only has their shitty crossfit certification for "trainer" is totally crap.
But, if you have someone like Christian Thibadeau, that knows that you just can't, or should i say, you should'nt do oly movements in high reps, not doing kipping pull ups everyday, that basically knows his shits then it's alright to train for crossfit NOT doing crossfit, just training for it
It's alright.
>>35252549
They're just using the "DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE" side of crossfit to attract people that don't know shit about lifting.
Have you ever seen someone with big muscles doing crossfit (outside of ads and videos promoting it) ?
>>35253059
that's a fancy push up
>>35253059
>not wanting to hop on the gains train w dat bish
>>35253069
why don't we start a new cult fit?
we can call it meme strength and normies will go mad for it
>>35253069
is that training for boxing? I thought the short reps were retarded but maybe she's training for speed
disclaimer: I don't know shit all about training for a fighting sport
I think crossfit has a few fine points, but is muddled with dogma.
HIIT + Oly is great if you have perfect form. Only if you have perfect form.
If you want to meet some attention starved MILF's, then X-Fit is a good bet.
Other than that, it's like P90x with weights.
>>35253150
Fighters usually go for HIIT functional stuff, like jumping rope etc... but what she's doing is bullshit
>>35253177
how do they train footwork?
>>35253092
There was a national crossfit competition I watched a bit of on TV that looked pretty legit. Big guys and girls. Still a professional scenario but it was basically running 100m from rope climb with arms only to doing something like 10 front squat jerks. Of course this is still different from a random shmuck breaking their shoulders doing babby's first crossfit, but I was impressed.

Bane @ 0:34?
>why does he wear the mask?

>>35253092

There's one big guy that actually does it and it looks like they send him back for scraping the bar but they let all the losers keep going through lol

Never seen anything remotely this retarded at my gym. I've seen people Snatch, C&J, Squat, Split Jerk and DL like absolute beasts and no one ever gets injured unless they over extend themselves.
I also saw plenty of idiots at my old, normal gym doing even basic exercises like squats and bench press entirely wrong and no one ever corrected their form.
Overall it depends on who runs the box.

Boxing has had proper training for decades, if someone is trying to change it they are an idiot.
