Got flamed and deleted for a post I made about CrossFit on another board

[pellius]

People just can't accept, or even challenge, a different perspective and opinion. It seems like Vegans and Crossfit has become more like a cult and the most defining aspect of a person's life. This is all I wrote.

These hardcore CrossFit trainers are some of the most impressive athletes in the world. This woman is in the top fraction of 1 percent in this world. But CrossFit should be thought of more like a performance sport and not as the optimal way to get in top physical condition. You get in shape to do CrossFit. All that ballistic training is going to take its toll on your body. Just think about what is happening to your body when you throw weights around like in the "Snatch" and the "Clean and Jerk". Let's see this woman in ten to fifteen years when she's only in her late 30s or early 40s.
If your goal is to be a top elite athlete that requires an all-consuming commitment, then CrossFit is for you. If you just want to get in shape and have a fit and toned body, CrossFit is probably one the worse and most dangerous protocols to follow.

Obviously they disagree with your assessment of power exercises.  I personally think an exercise routine is lacking if you don't have power exercises like sprinting, quick lifts like a power clean; and jumping. Hitting a heavy bag is a power exercise too. Where in real athletics do you do anything slow?  Punching, kicking and tackling is an explosive movement.  Even elite marathoners run their miles faster than most commercial treadmills can go full speed. Power is one of the most important attributes in sports and it's not to be confused with strength.

You really thought you could say something against Crossfit?  Dude they are obsessed people.  Worse than vegans.

The power exercises aren't the issue. Doing them to and "past" failure for reps with sloppy form is what is the issue.

Yup. These people are going to have serious joint issues as they age.

Hope it's worth it for that extra "rep".

 It sure why you got banned for that. Were your posts leading up to this any different?

I agree on CrossFit’s dangers.  Without the proper form bodybuilding has its injuries concerns too though.

Yes.  Emasculated men like you.  Men afraid of women in authority positions.  And it's not a bad thing.  We need to cull the sissies and insecure twats.   Like you.

You know, if I am going to occupy so much room in your head, at least expand the place a bit.  Kind of tiny in here.  And there's a draft.

liking a woman in a position of authority over you is the definition of emasculation and being a sissy and a twat, you are admitting to being a submissive and subservient beta male

name examples of women being great leaders, other than your own boss in the nursing department

No, I am just comfortable with my own masculinity and unlike you, a woman in a position of power doesn't threaten me or raise my insecurities.  You are an emasculated little bitch boy.  Your constant whining is proof of that. 

As usual with nothing left to say you fall back on the - name, prove, list, etc... - bullshit.   Why bother when it only interferes with your assumptions. 

[Van_Bilderass]

Should women be allowed to vote? I know many or most would say that's an absurd question but the answer is not at all obvious to me. I mean "democracy" itself doesn't necessarily seem like the obvious "best type of government", not to me.

If women were calling all the shots for a period of time, how would society develop? I think it would end in disaster quickly. Leftists especially think women would end all wars... I don't think so, I think blood would flow

why is a guy "uncomfortable" with his masculinity when he doesn't think of women as leaders?  especially when there is no proof of women being good leaders, case in point you not being able to provide examples of good female leaders

you keep calling me a whiner when you never respond to a post without name calling and getting overly defensive, and you regularly use "sexist" words as your insults which makes me think that you are emasculated on a daily basis and overly compensating for your lack of masculinity

no they shouldn't be allowed to vote

many vote the same as if they were voting for prom king ie which candidate is better looking, taller, or which candidate they can imagine being friends with

also their emotions are easily manipulated which is why so many fall for the lies and propaganda of BLM, or the democrats telling them they are victims of the patriarchy, they will always vote based on feelings not facts

it doesn't matter to them that all rules and laws benefit them, they have more now than ever and they are more miserable than ever, they always want more and something else and the democrats use that to their advantage

It isn't name calling if it is true.   You are an emasculated whiner.  Who can't get me out of your head.  Which is kind of creepy. 

I don't need to provide examples for you.  Your stupidity is your own albatross around your neck, not mine.  The fact you continue to ask for examples indicates you have massive insecurities about women in general.   What does it take to raise a kid to to turn out as scared of women like you?  Overbearing mother?  Absent father?  Luck of the draw with overactive estrogen levels?  Latent homosexual tendencies?  Tell us.

You entirely missed my point. I am not talking about being an athlete and a program designed to enhance athletic performance. I am talking about a fitness program that the average person can do to enhance the quality of their life. To be healthier and to have a better more fit and tone body. You are not going to get a toned body punching the heavy bag and running/walking on a treadmill.

Tell me the benefits of Power Cleans and I will give you alternatives that are better, safer, less damaging, and more productive. The major benefit, not the only, but the major overriding benefit to do Power Clean is to improve your ability to do Power Cleans.

It led to a discussion on CrossFit as means for health and fitness for the average nonathlete who essentially just wants to have a better body and to be healthier.

No one will argue that gymnasts are fantastic athletes that are in great physical shape
with toned, athletic bodies. I was just watching the UCLA team competing on TV and all of them were prime physical specimens. But is anybody going the argue that gymnastic training is the optimal way to health, fitness, and a beautiful body?

i creep you out?  are you scared?   you sound like such a strong masculine male haha

as usual you don't provide examples or anything to back up your argument... because you can't... not even you believe your own insanity

male nurse that votes democrat and thinks of women as leaders is accusing me of being gay and high estrogen levels?  absent father?  all of your insults apply to you and your fellow democrat voters

now respond back and call me a "bitch" or "twat" you know all the words your party wants to ban and ruin the lives of anybody that uses them, it really hurts my feelings...

There will always be exercise fads. Why do so many women do boot camp training? Why on earth punch things as part of being fit? Crazy fad that few think about re safety for joints.

Ballistic movements done regularly will damage joints for sure. Especially if performed in some extreme fashion.

[pellius]

The power exercises aren't the issue. Doing them to and "past" failure for reps with sloppy form is what is the issue.

Actually, I do think the exercises themselves and how they are performed are the issue. The throwing of weights and ballistic training is just not the best way to develop your body and improve your health -- which why most people undertake an exercise program. Just compare the CrossFit version of the pull-ups to the regular pull-ups. What is more effective in developing your biceps and back in a safe and productive manner?
