OK this if for cross fit haters only! I want you to post your reasons why you don't like crossfit. go!
>>36636376
you look like a fool
its a meme
Running around doing bodyweight shit to exhaust yourself and then lifting heavy things over your head is a great way to hurt yourself.
>>36636387
Well why do crossfitters look like fools?
My nicotine addiction is healthier than the forced meme that is crossfit
I've just started cross-fitting. Got my ass off the couch and did something. Just completed an 8 week program. I'm happy. And fit.
>>36636376
overpriced meme workouts
>>36636411
no, it confuses the muscles
It makes such a huge deal out of developing functional strength while requiring you do a shitload of lightweight oly lifts, which are completely non-functional and designed to show off how strong you are with maximal weight.
Also Dom tears it to shreds to here:

>>36636587
The number one way to confuse your muscles is to start a squat then go for a behind the neck press. It shock's your delts into growing.

No, I'm doing crossfit
>>36636376
First time I went was with a friend like 2 years ago. I asked him what it was like and he said "I never feel like they make me lift more than I can handle. They don't really push you too hard"
When I fucking got there they had me sign a waiver to make sure no sue and me being in healthy condition. One part there was asking about if you have any previous weightlifting experience. I put down 225 for squat, 275 for dl, and like 175 for bench. After filling out everything else, I handed it back to the dude. He was like "oh wow you already lift!"
So he went over some shit, then talked about the worjout. I don't remember most of it, just some sled thing we had to drag. One person is behind it, pushing and the other has a band to his torso and is pulling it simultaneously.
Right away I ask how much it weighs and he's like "eh, it's about 90ish but with the amount you lift we can put at least like 5 45lb plates!" to which I was like "nah bitch I'm not pulling that shit" so I just put 1 plate on there. The entire time the dude was all "you could have put more weight, cmon let's get more weight on there!"
Fast forward to the end of it. I'm puking my shit out while he watches with a shit eating grin on his face. He stops chucking just long enough to edge out an "I bet you can't get THAT with just lifting weights at a gym"
I fucking left then and there. Fuck that cunt, and fuck the idea of crossfit to push yourself past your limits, basically buying a one way ticket to snap city. That guy didn't know shit and was just a smug asshole.
No gains
>>36636376
I really enjoy conditioning work. I hate that everyone thinks conditioning work is crossfit now.
So yes, I hate it because I'm spiteful and that a bunch of veganfaggots took something I like and made it popular.
Also, doing compound lifts for reps is fucking retarded.
Also doing kipping pullups is fucking retarded.
Also theres no quality control.
Also its too cultlike.
Also its full of pseudointellectuals and pseudofitness fags.
Also the fact that the winner of their faggy comps is crowned "the fittest person in the world' is fucking retarded.
Also I hate when fat faggots at my work talk to me about their stupid WoD and how my gym schedule must be so easy compared to theirs.
Hows that?
>>36636905
Is it find if I end an intensity compound lift with like 10-15 reps of a low weight to coo loff?
>>36636905
>Also the fact that the winner of their faggy comps is crowned "the fittest person in the world' is fucking retarded.
>Also I hate when fat faggots at my work talk to me about their stupid WoD and how my gym schedule must be so easy compared to theirs.
why are they so fucking arrogant?
its not like you see any cross shitters taking golds at the olympics or winning iron mans and strong mans
>>36636905
>not doing 20 rep squats
>>36636916
Op here, have has anyone here experience prejudiced At cross fit ? like for example coach takes pics and posts it on a inspirational board (as silly as that sounds) but the only pics the coach posts are fitter guys. And of course makes you feel like shit. Anyone?
>>36636905
>doing compound lifts for reps is fucking retarded
Did you mean oly lifts? Cos nigga if you do facepull singles you're probably autistic.
>>36636965
I think he was going to type a number but forgot. Like, "doing compound lifts for 20 reps is fucking retarded"
At least I hope
>>36636960
what's inspirational about a unfit person?
>>36636965
>>36636939
kek, got me.
>>36636936
No idea but its infuriating.
>>36636916
Probably. Doing big shit like DLs or snatches for reps and/or time is just begging for injury. People snap their shit up all the time doing this stuff.
>>36636960
>crossfitter has his feelys hurt easily
go fucking figure
>>36637038
What's wrong with doing 5 or 6 rep deads? Literally everyone does it.
>>36636524
So you lost 1.5 lb a week across 8 weeks? Senpai, you can do that easily with a normal program and a non shit diet. I'm glad it got you going, but maybe investigate a program that doesn't encourage shit form. I just don't want you getting hurt, bud.
>>36637090
Generally when I say "for reps" I mean a lot. Guess I should be more specific since you guys can't read my mind.
Anything over 6-8 reps DL is bullshit IMO. But I've seen guys doing 15 or more for multiple sets. Thats the kind of shit I'm talking about.
Even just one set of 15 is whatever, but the fat guy at work I was talking about earlier was telling me about how he did an absurd amount the other day. I forgot what exactly but it was something like a 1RM followed by a triple, followed by a 5 reps of a lighter weight, then 8, then 10 etc etc up to 20 or 30 reps of the bar.
And then go fucking figure he was talking about how much his knee and back hurt a couple days later. This dude is 50 years old btw.
They taught a 50 year old to do this.
>>36637142
What shit form? You mean busting my ass to maximum effort is bad for me?
>>36636524
You're ducking disgusting, that picture almost made me puke
If you want to get fit just go to a tucking gym like a normal person
>>36637153
Until you said 50 I thought you were talking about leeman.
Lots of guys do ridiculously high amount of reps for deadlift. It's just another training stimulus.
>>36637220
What's a tucking gym? Google wasn't any help.
>>36637153
>Anything over 6-8 reps DL is bullshit IMO
I think I agree with this. My older brother does 4 sets of 10 deadlifts with lmao1pl8. Says it kills him the day after, and he also said he can't deadlift 250lbs. He weighs at least 200lbs. Meanwhile, I've been going to the gym for less than a year and can deadlift 365lbs while weighing 180lbs.
>>36637245
Your brother has a much bigger penis than you. How does that make you feel?
>>36636376
Crossfit is bad because overweight & sexually confused basement dwellers told me so on a Vietnamese napalm extinguishing techniques imageboard
>>36636524
bretty good
I've never understood the hate for crossfit. Sure, there's shit instructors. Sure shitty people do it. But it's a training modality that's interesting and is creating a lot of fucking strong people.
I don't do it, probably never will outside of trying one or two wods just for funsies, but damn guys. Don't hate shit just for the sake of it. It's dick in arse retarded.
And why the shut talking about high rep deadlifts? People do it all the fucking time. People significantly stronger and more versed in workout methodologies and training paradigms that you.
>>36637447
>and is creating a lot of fucking strong people
It isn't. Some strong people happen to do crossfit, but they got to that point by doing other things.
>>36637245
your brother probably looks far more aesthetic than you.post pics of both so i can confirm.
>>36636376
Doing heavy compound lifts, that require a great deal of concentration and control to perform properly, as fast as humanly possible is a one way all expenses paid ticket to snap city.
>>36637530
No pics, but he's kinda fat. I'm not.
>>36637447
Some people who do Crossfit are strong THEREFORE Crossfit is a great exercise regime.
The strong people in Crossfit would be just as strong if not stronger if they spent the same amount of time and energy in a regular gym. There are a lot of people who did Crossfit that never got to be strong because they slipped a disc 4 weeks in.
>>36636376
The crossfit games and those faggy kipping pullups they do, what is to be fucking gained from that horseshit?
>>36636376
If I had the gift of the two morons deadliftin on the same bar at the same time.
That is all I would have to say about that and a box of chocolates.
>>36637183
if it comes at the expense of injuring yourself because you lost form or whatever, then yeah. you don't have to go 900% every second of every workout. that's how people get hurt.
>>36636413
Because they're buff, good looking, and social.
These 3 things are everything people on this board aren't
>>36637346
Um what is going on in the video? Sauce??
>>36636376
>overhyped hence overpriced, from gyms to shoes to everything
>my friend does crossfit for 3 years and has abs and squats 1 plate above parallel (that's sad) while I am a year on SS (and (SS ish) programs and squat 3.125 plate atg. Not even fat, I am 17%bf
>said friend got injured a year ago doing 40kg deadlifts for max reps in one minute, I pull 3.75pl8 and have never had any injury whatsoever. He still swears by crossfit, he hasn't fully recovered.

In theory/on paper, Crossfit sounds great. Strength training and Cardio in one work out.
In practice, it's rarely done safely. I'm not saying every single Crossfit trainer is retarded, but the vast majority of them are. You might have that ONE trainer that did wrestling and Oly lifting through college, did two tours in Afghanistan, has multiple nationally credible PT certs like NASM or ACE, and he gives newbies appropriately skilled body weight or resistance band exercises their first few weeks or months in training. Guys like this are legit. Unfortunately guys like this are one in a fucking million in the Crossfit scene.
When Crossfit blew up in popularity, the demand skyrocketed, and the standards for becoming a trainer plummeted. It has been reduced to a 2-3 day course + shelling out the money to use the name "Crossfit". That's a level 1 trainer or some shit, more money and longer (although significantly inferior training compared to a national cert) to become a higher level trainer. Anyway, too many of these Crossfit gyms have weekend certified soccer mom Cardio bunny trainers teaching newbies with little to no experience in the gym do advanced, compound Olympic lifts with very little practice, with shit form because you're going AGAINST TIME. It's a fucking recipe for disaster.
>>36637704
t. crossfitter
my martial arts teachers teach crossfit and everybody who's been following it has been racking up injuries like bad knees and torn rotator cuffs etc. from doing the lifts wrong and doing things on time rather than form.
they're good instructors and fighters who fought in the nationals and won but I'm not going to fuck my shit up because of it I'll stick to traditional strength training with some powercleans.
>alternate yoga and handstands for warm-up
>alternate sled pushes (really a box with carpet on the bottom but these are minor details, gym staff lets me stack plates on it) and handstands for high-intensity cardio
>get incredible workout for peanuts
Honestly 99% of what you'll get out of Crossfit you could get by looking up Sarah Jean Underwood's Nude Yoga on Pornhub and finding a steep hill for hill sprints, plus a regular gym membership, any uni gym will work or better yet buy your own equipment. It's so easy, it's incredibly cheap to get a good workout, stay mobile, develop skills and get stronger and leaner if you're not stupid. You don't even have to be smart, just don't be stupid and work really really hard. My uni gym costs about $100 a year (according to my tuition statements) but you could spend $200 on a squat rack and plates, find a steep hill, and watch Sara Jean Underwood pose naked and get 99% of what you'll get from Crossfit. The 1% is from having someone look at your form, but many cell phones have cameras now so that's a non-issue as well. It's just such a waste and people should be doing it themselves. You're essentially paying $300 a month for friends, and they wouldn't even be your friends if you weren't also part of the cult. It's such a ripoff and anyone who's not stupid could do just as well or much better without it.
