Just another reason why I hate "crossfit"

[HUGEPECS]

If you are a true alpha, you do not notice others in the gym..... They notice you.

Quote of the day.

[Leatherneck]

The workout style is the real deal Holyfield. However, the attitude that some of the folks who do it have can get annoying. As for the women doing it, more power to them. If Crossfit is the vehicle that helps them look and feel good, why should we hate?

[freespirit]

The coach should speak on this matter.

[hardgainerj]

haha those retards train like they're getting ready for the Olympics

and all the while youre training glutes in the hip abductor machine

[hardgainerj]

CrossFit Cults Suck

Modified pullups is not the real issue here, quarter squats and quarter deadlifts anyone

the issue is that there is no progressive program in CF

[viking1]

if you want to be a good runner, Run

if you want to be a good cyclist, Ride

if you want to be a good bodybuilder, Weight Lift



if you want to be good at crossfit, do crossfit

 

[yates fan]

[kreator]

and all the while youre training glutes in the hip abductor machine

I don't mind the workouts, I'm sure it will get you in decent shape.  I hate the condescending, better-than-you, "oh, you don't do CrossFit?  Heh." attitude of most people who are seriously into it.

[wes]

Funny thing is, I see the aerobic courses in the gym through the windows all the time, and NO ONE in there looks in decent shape, they are all fat or skinny-fat.

I`ve seen a zillion runners/joggers who run pretty good distances daily that carry tons of flabby bodyfat and look "skinnyfat".

That the training DOES NOT WORK is the worst thing of all. Or is the crossfit the first "sport" you can train 10 minutes a day and be elite in it? Hah.

[Natural Man]

I don't put down what anyone does for fitness.  What bothers me about crossfit is the attitude that they have the superior way to Nirvana.

 Truth be told women that are really into a good cross fit program look fantastic. Another truth is that many bodybuilders couldn't keep up in a serious cross fit class. Same thing about guys who run and do bodyweight exercises hard core. They are in serious condition.

because they are ectomorphs in the firsplace who do abs and barbell curls and often run. They have no merit, they re hypocrits. Their good looks are genetical mostly. I still have to see a typical skinny fat man or woman losing weight and getting in decent shape doing "crossfit".

I'm going to tell you what my real thoughts are on this. It's a good concept if the trainer actually knows how to program the actual training but the problem is a lot of these crossfit trainers don't. What educated trainer in their right minds would ever prescribe multiple reps in an O-lift is beyond me. By multiple reps I mean 5 or more. After 5 reps form starts breaking down and thats where the injuries begin even if the weight is relatively light. Ok, now take an O-lift and start pairing it up with a high rep exercise, already you're at a CNS overload. Ok...now take that and do as many reps as many rounds as you can for time. You're bound to get injured and you're bound to eat shit!!

Crossfitters are out of shape twinks who can't decide what to do. They can't run or swim. Every time they post their squats or deadlifts they make sure to post their bodyweight, for example 130 lbs, as if being small is a enough reason to be weak. They enjoy doing pull ups, but they can't do real pull ups. They enjoy doing gymnastics, but can't walk on their hands.

The smart ones like you see in the crossfit games have some pretty sick conditioning I have to admit. But crossfit in general as a whole have had so many injuries no out side insurance provider will carry them. The are self-insured.

It's all about the diet.  You want abs? diet.  You want to be ripped? diet.  This pertains to naturals of course.

I don't do Crossfit...I think that whole speed repping concept is what nearly got a number of Iowa Hawkeye football players a ticket to the morgue a couple of years ago. 

The best trainer I ever worked with was a 100lb chick who fought...we trained like fighters.  lots of bag work, bodyweight work on the floor and basic cardio like running in place. None of this "I'm racing you"  bullshit...just work you r ass off until the bell rings nd it's time for the next round.   I think the marketing term fo rit now is "HIIT".  We just called it "exercising".

Closest I ever came to puking was when her trainer was in and I had to chase his ass around for five minutes throwing combinations at him while he held pads....

I you are natural: Muscle confusion mixed with cardio and diet.

If you are juiced to the gills: heavy weights and an XL pizza.

No such thing as "muscle confusion".

Sure there is coach.  Your muscles adapt.  You can't do the ame routine of anything over and over, and expect to progress.

LOL..."muscle confusion" is a Joe Weider buzz word that companies like P90x are using to sell products much like what Weider did to sell his programs. "Muscle confusion" was coined about 50 years ago. Ex; Your biceps don't know whether it's doing a preacher curl or regular curl a bench press or DB press. It's a bogus name to sell products.
