So I'm getting into real exercising and fitness, and /fit/ has been a big help, but I'm still confused about one thing. What the fuck is Crossfit, and why do you all hate it?

It's weightlifting if it was invented by niggers

what they used to call crosstraining in the 90s, repackaged and resold for the fitness-on-my-instagram generation.

Basically run a little, lift a little, do some situps/pullups/core/ and some plyometrics and there ya go....CROSSFIT.

I personally don't like it because it commoditizes something that was originally free (flipping tires, running a footrope course, doing sprints, etc) and threw in a bunch of TOTALLY necessary equipment.

Also people who are lifting for real sometimes get annoyed at the crossfit people taking up their racks doing stupid shit when they could just as easily be doing 4 sets on squat like a normal human.
>>
ya pretty much crosstraining, lets so youre gonna go out and run in the woods, add some dumbelss to the routine and do reps as you would shoulder, bi's and tris day then bam you got what was called crosstraining to cross fit!

Do Cross fit.

Personally, I do BJJ and Yoga for the opposite reasons. They keep you in shape and will improve your life span thanks to joint flexibility and stretching.

also something cool stolen from a forgotten fad: Circuit training.

>>37869797
eh??? no the guys saying its a joint destroyer they arent lying, so if anything you need to start off right with the right muscles in shape in order to do this! other than that its a danger much like cross training is, where you take 1/3 of your total then go run in the fucking woods for an hr and pull off max reps per exercise!

Crossfit is Strongmen, only without the Strong par.

It's circuits with low-to-moderate weights, that train endurance by utilising strength you already have.

Crossfit athletes train just like strongmen, only they're more like 500/300/500, with a ~sub 2pl8 OHP strong, rather than 900/600/900, with a 4pl8 ohp.

Ofcourse, there's people who think that you get good at crossfit by only doing crossfit.

There are the same people who'd only do 1RMs in training for powerlifting and wonder why everybody else squats 500, while they can't break 300.
>>
>>37869629
It's circuit training as made over by a branding agency.

The one AND ONLY good thing to come out of it is that it's prompted a huge surge in interest in lifting in general and the olympic lifts in particular, which were both dying out in normieland in the US and the UK before it. That means you'll be a thousand times more likely to walk into a random gym and find it has decent equipment. Unfortunately you'll have to pay 3x the market rate to use it unless you can come to some arrangement with the gym owners - and you'll have to work out at ass o'clock because they run one of their dumbshit classes every moment during business hours.

I went to a gym which "offered" "crossfit". After almost a month of doing squats, dumbell rows amd machines by myself , this gym instructor guy wanted me to try " crossfit", maybe to get me enrolled for that sweet fat commission. Guy had me do jumping squats that fucked up my legs and knees. Couldn't walk right for a week, waiting for the soreness to subside.

Never returned to that gym after that.
>>
>>37870501
It's crossfit. It's too deep for us.
And it's not fake.
>>
Crossfit is legit as fuck but ONLY if you have a decent to good fitness base. It's basically military pt and offers you endurace and strength. But you absolutely need a good basis to be able to push yourself properly, not injure yourself and also make gains.

So my advice is until you can do 60 pushups, 10 pullups, bench bodyweight/squat double bodyweight/deadlift bodyweight, run 1.5 miles in under 11 mins you shouldn't bother with crossfit.

/fit/ of course is so unfit they can't even do the afformentioned, hence why they diss crossfit so much. They are completely untrained and anything that is more intense than a squat set with 15 mins rest in between is too hard for their fat bodies.
>>
>>37869595
It's exercise, not real training. Definitely piss poor for beginners. OK if you've reached where you want to be in terms of strength and physique and just want to do shit.
>>
>>37869595

Oly Lifting + Circuit training. A whole heap of fuckwit gyms around the world make it look bad because of snap city form. But 99% of the people who post on /fit/ couldn't finish a Crossfit WOD if they had a gun to their head.

This is inaccurate as fuck. Any good box will scale the workout to your level, if you're able to do a workout RX then good for you, but very few people will have such strong lifts.

>>37870841
Pretty much every reliable trainer will say that 0.6xbw The Pressâ„¢, 0.75-1xbw binch, 1.5xsquat, 2xdiddly for is a decent strength standard for a complete novice to work towards.

(This is why 1/2/3/4 gets thrown around so much - for the average guy, this represents those BW multiples.)

2x bodyweight squat is going to be 180kg for the average male. The number of people you see in the gym moving that kind of weight can be counted on the fingers of no hands.

You got bench JUST about right. Well done you. However, 1/3 lets us know that the numbers you're quoting are absolutely fucking arbitrary.
>>
>>37870827
It means doing high rep snatch or cleans once every two weeks or more is a recipe for disaster and the injury rates of crossfit confirm this.

>>37870949
Yep.

The way crossfit uses olympic lifts (or even normal lifts) not only doesn't make you stronger, it doesn't even make you better at doing crossfit routines.

>CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen created by Greg Glassman[1] and is a registered trademark of CrossFit, Inc.[2] which was founded by Greg Glassman and Lauren Jenai[3] in 2000.[4][5] Promoted as both a physical exercise philosophy and also as a competitive fitness sport, CrossFit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy sport, calisthenics, strongman, and other exercises. It is practiced by members of over 13,000[6] affiliated gyms,[7] roughly half of which are located in the United States,[8] and by individuals who complete daily workouts (otherwise known as "WODs" or "workouts of the day").[9][10]

It gets a lot of hate as in bodybuilding it's all about mass, while in crossfit they have a wider range of aims such as endurance. Naturally there's those who don't understand the exercises, and those who only see the bad things such as the accidents.

It has nothing to do with 'bodybuilding.'

CrossFit's injury rates are SKY HIGH compared to any other sport, typically because they borrow difficult movements from highly demanding and technical sports like strongman, weightlifting, and gymnastics, and get complete beginners to do them for time without appropriate supervision or training.

>This amounts to an injury rate of 3.1 per 1,000 hours, which is similar to sports such as Olympic weightlifting, power lifting and gymnastics, but less than contact sports like rugby. What may come as a surprise: it matches the injury rate for general fitness workouts.

People tend to hate on it cause they don't know what it is. I challenge anyone to just describe what a normal training day for a Crossfitter who takes his shit seriously looks like.

Most of these guys just get their references from gym fails videos but if we were to do the same thing then bodybuilders cheat curling on those videos are shit as well, along with powerlifters pulling with a flexed lumbar spine (yeah, they're faggots too) and those elite weightlifters who get hit in the head when they miss a heavy snatch (lol thy should kill themselves as well)

Crossfit is constantly improving, gaining more popularity and more members, and it has generated more money than bodybuilding has done in the last decades, wheter you like it or not :)
>>
>>37869719

They look like a fucking crankshaft in an engine spinning around.
>>
A lot of Crossfit gyms are about speed and making your numbers go up without bothering to teach proper form. I've heard of so many people fucking up their joints and muscles from Crossfit, trying to do some move with a lot of weight really quickly. It's like a cult of retardation. I'm sure there are good crossfit gyms but most have bad reputation for a reason. It will destroy your body.

>>37872083
I've never seen a Crossfit person compete in a physique or bodybuilding competition.

Wonder why that is :^)
>>
>>37869595
Posted this in another thread, I'll rephrase it here:

Who do you respect more, the jack of all trades or the master of one? Crossfitters do not set records (weight or cardio) in terms of 1RM, Mile time, anything like that. Most crossfit trainers have no credentials and say what the fuck ever to get money out of poor people who just want to get in shape. Add to that the high rate/risk of injury, the fact that every single Crossfitter that competes is on the juice (while claiming natty), and the general elitist attitude every crossfitter seems to have, you have the reason why everyone who doesn't do crossshit hates on crossshit. It promotes elitist mediocrity, and 99% of them are douchefaggots who'd get fucked on the street by most beerbelly fags in a fight
>>
>>37872135
Look up how many boxes they had in 2000 (one in Santa Cruz, which is Greg Glassman's)
Look up how many they have currently (~14 000 across the world)

Also check Glassman's net worth, then compare it to the Bodybuilding Godfather (Joe Weider)

>>37872152
Because the goal isn't to achieve an amazing physique, unless a person wants to, then they add other specific movements/types of training to their routines. I've never stated the opposite.

>>37872255

>>
>>37872158
Answered it on the other thread
>Crossfit trainers have no credentials

Agreed, most don't so we have to pick boxes carefully

> high rate of injury

Disproved by studies, the rate is 20%/3.1 per 1000 hrs which is comparable to PL, WL or Gymnastics, and it goes as low as 17% when monitored by an actual coach. Also showed that beginners have lower risks if they go through the 3 month basics/foundation learning phase

>crossfitters set no records

They max out on olympic lifts and PL lifts every end of mesocycle, thy follow lifting cycles just like everyone else
Also there have been many events testing max strength, like the C&J Ladder, Snatch Ladder, DL Ladder, OHS max Event
There's also sprint eventslike the zigzag sprint event

>elitist attitude
That I agree as well, but it also has something to do with the people talking shit as well, hard not to talk back


And no, I'm not someone who's been brainwashed, I'm just a guy who started up with general strength training, then went on to WL which I didn't enjoy, and kept on looking for something I like and I could do well at until I found CF.

Different strokes for different folks.

>>37872282

CrossFit Inc. describes its strength and conditioning program as "constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity across broad time and modal domains," with the stated goal of improving fitness, which it defines as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains."

Also, like I said, the injury rate is equal to PL, WL and Gymnastics, so there's no point in trying hard with the "crossfit will injure you!!!!" Anything will injure you if you do it wrong.
>>
>>37870354
WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING FUNNY
>>
>>37872316
I gave you facts, don't believe me? Look it up.

I only stated the number of Crossfit Inc. Ffiliates, so there's probably more. Also yes, there's definitely more BB gyms across the world, but sjnce when has Bodybuilding been in this world? For decades and decades. Crossfit has only been here as a brand for 16 years and it's making great progress, whether you like it or not. Gyms are opening more and more frequently, more people are joining in, and more people are competing (from ~150k competitors in the Open 2015 to ~300k in the Open this year)

Also, no point in being aggressive and disrespectful. And yes, I am a "Crossfaggot" and I chose to join in because I wasn't good enough WL competitions.

OK everyone here is acting autistic except >>37870019
Basically it's circuit training with weight movements. The reasons it's so hated is because
A) it's full of misinformation and stupid shit. This like squatting on exercise balls and some weird pull ups that don't do shit. They don't encourage good form as much and this can lead to injuries. Tons of bodybuilders switched to Crossfit and have been seriously injured, with one actually having to end their career because of it.

B)it attracts a lot of the Starbucks crowd of people who act better than you because they do crossfit. ("You DON'T do Crossfit?") Some of that is just straw maning, but there are examples of people being snobs on facebook and shit.
>>
>>37872368
Also yes there is a big differece in prize money, currently the fittest man and women on earth make around 300 000$ for winning the games, local competitions in the UK and US can get you up to 5k for getting first place.

Compared to the 600k that Mr. Olympia gets a year it's not that much but remember, Crossfit as a brand and as a competition has only been here for 16 years
>>
>>37872368
I asked for a source. You did not provide it, only gave me anecdotal "evidence". Might wanna check the first post of yours I responded to. Anyway, since you admitted why you do crossfit, I'll relent. GLHF don't get injured fellow /fitizen

>>37872402
How hard is it to type "How many Crossfit Boxes are in the world?" On Google?

Anyway here's a part, do the addition, you'll get to nearly 13 000 gyms in the world https://map.crossfit.com

Also if you end up googling it, you'll find out how it went from one box in 2000, to13 in 2005, to 13k now.

As for the money, like I said, look up Greg Glassman's net worth (100 million dollars)
And Joe Weider's (35 million dollars)

Don't worry about me getting injured, I'm taking all my precautions, as long as it doesn't fuck me up as much as BJJ did I'm cool with it.

Have a good day my friend.

you can say that about every sport with more then one discipline triathletes do not set records nor do penta or decathletes they are still highly competetive and demanding sports

crossfit is a form of circuit training that combines the best out of the best forms of training( weights, bw, strongman) done in the worst way possible, since they want you to do as many reps and sets and exercises in the least amount of time possible, they constantly fuck up the form, making it the best training to fuck your shit up

Sure buddy

Not necessarily circuit training.

>self-reported data in both
>nih uses 3 gyms
>pmc uses internet forums

Nice studies. Most damning of all, however
>A total of 132 responses were collected with 97 (73.5%) having sustained an injury during CrossFit training
>A total of 186 injuries were reported with 9 (7.0%) requiring surgical intervention

73.5% of people doing Crossfit reported being injured. This does not include those that got injured and quit Crossfit or those who didn't reply to the online survey.

Note also that Crossfit has no form of collecting data on individual 'boxes'. No official account of injuries. No way to study or even see information about injuries occurring at individual locations. For a fitness company with 13k gyms they sure don't seem to care about the details of their franchises operations or the health of their patrons.

McDonald's generated more money than almost every other restaurant, does that mean it is better?

>>37871131
Weightlifters, power lifters, and gymnasts all compete in sports. Their end goal is winning. Crossfags are just exercising. This distinction is key and you fail to note it. People are being injured at rates equal to those of Olympic caliber athletes merely by exercising. How many normal gyms do you know with those rates of injuries? And before you bring up Crossfit games or some stupid bullshit keep in mind that all those 'elite' crossfitters do not use crossfit programming and openly admit to that.

13,000 gyms and growing. Hundreds of new "trainers" every week. What could go wrong?

It depends on what you mean by crossfit programming
To me a good crossfit type programming has nothing to do with the shit we see in those gym fail meme videos

For example today I did:

A:
Hang snatch, worked up to a heavy single then 5*2 @90%
Full Snatch moderate double then 5*2 @90% then 3*1 @90%
Back squats 5RM then 5*5 @90% then 5*3 @90% then 1 AMRAP @70%

B:
Strict weighted Chins 3*5 then 2*3 then AMRAP @BW
Bench Press 4*6
Incline DB Press 3*8
Pendlay Row light 4*10

C:
Every minute on the minute, 30 minutes

Odd minutes: 5 strict muscle ups
Even minutes: 5 strict HSPU

D: 6*300m on the rower

It's this simple, it's just that it got branded now.

Reread the post you replied to, retard. Also there is no standard for 'good' crossfit programming because trainers have minimal requirements to open their own gym and make their own rules. Why can't you do that workout at a regular gym and save some money?
>>
>>37875569
Cause I have a free membership
And I will also open my own box soon

Also what do you mean by there's no standard for good crossfit programming?

No need to be rude.
>>
>>37875569
Also I'm not sure normal gyms in my area would appreciate me dropping barbells when doing snatches or clean&jerks and using a barbell for a long amount of time, I don't wanna be that guy.

Purposefully dense
Crossfitters, according to the shitty sources you provided, get injured at the same rate as Olympic powerlifters and gymnasts. Crossfitters are exercising, not competing.
http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Safety.html
So why are the self-reported injury rates so high? Maybe because Crossfit encourages unhealthy activities and habits? 3.1 per 1000 hours is extremely high, see pic related.

You will get injured if you haven;t already. You will open your 'box' and watch countless members get injured. You drank the kool-aid and are so deadset on defending Crossfit you fail to see that it does actual harm to people. Willful ignorance is still ignorance. Eat shit.

Multiply by ten you dumb nigger.

>>37870242
nearest one to my place is $150, you MUST take a class, so you don't have access to the gym anytime you want, nor can you really do your own program.

The owner justifies the fee bcause you are also "paying for his expertise"
>>
>>37870755
>So my advice is until you can do 60 pushups, 10 pullups, bench bodyweight/squat double bodyweight/deadlift bodyweight, run 1.5 miles in under 11 mins you shouldn't bother with crossfit.
