Bodybuilding vs Crossfit

[Big N]

I believe the majority of us like body-building/weightlifting over Crossfit. But it seems like it's becoming more and more popular with Crossfit? What's so special about it which is basically timed workouts to get fit with different type of weightlifting,gymnastics,running,bike, etc.

Basically you need to wear long socks and be hardcore to do crossfit.  I mean real hard core.

[Grape Ape]

I don't follow Crossfit, but definitey prefer the chins/farmer walks/plyo/sled/olympic types of exercise to the tricep kickbacks, flies and breaking the body down into bodyparts on different days.

I combine these with the basics - squat / dl / bench.

I think too many train the bodybuilding way who don't need it - lots of unecessary sets.  This leads to tearing your hammy in a softball game.

We first need to be clear. Does schmoe squatting count as bodybuilding or crossfit?

[viking1]

I do a lot of aggressive yard work, thats my crossshit.

only if the schmoe AND the squatter are BOTH wearing long socks

I'm taking up Crossfit because I want to wear those cool bands of tape across the back of my shoulders.

I could use a women like that to carry my keg of beer.

Maybe this crossfit thing isn't so bad after all.

Are you saying Chaos has competition?

good tune, thanks for the reminder

[tommywishbone]

If there was even one drop of beer in that keg we might have something.

For sure. For all the pics you see of these Cross Fit fucks, you never see the pics of the idiots that quit. Really all it is what a number of PT organizations predicted years ago. Group training would be cheaper for clients and keep dipshits around longer. $100 a month for group training is cheaper than paying me $75 bucks four times a week.

Took you long enough.

As lame as "get fit" fad shit is, bodybuilders and powerlifters aren't fit and we can bullshit being "in shape" to people who don't know any better, all we want - reality is that most of us have only a vague, passing interest in being fit (and only when we're actually dealing with the ramifications of permabulking).

Aw, come on you are being humble.  Everyone knows you are the G.O.A.T. at that stuff.  Chiro has shirts printed in your honor.

Those are his big sisters hand me downs. Someday he'll fill the sleeves on those extra smediums.
