Is Crossfit kind of hipster flash in the pan nonsense?

[PRchamp]

It's just a fad and most of the exercises are ridiculous. I seen a bunch of people get hurt with bad technique.

I wish Boxing gyms weren't so dam expensive.

Does that business model actually work? People actually like going to a gym where there are only out of shape people?

It works because people show up sometimes, just walk around on the tredmills and you have to cancel to stop being billed but its so cheap so people don't bother even if they don't go often. This isn't a place for people serious about getting in shape or who have serious fitness goals.

I guess it is good to do some kind of workout as opposed to sitting on your ass eating potato chips all day but I have heard so much about it and havn't until recently looked into it.

Spray gives it a thumbs down, seems like another media driven fitness fad for people with no real specific goal. No, "being more fit/better shape" does not qualify as a goal in my view, no one knows what you are talking about when you say that and it is a blanket term.

So what you need to do is think a bit, figure out what your fitness goal is, formulate a gameplan for that goal, then follow through get to the gym and train specifically for that goal.

Crossfit is a little bit of everything and since your not doing any specialized training your progress in any specific area will plateau pretty quickly.

Some people like boxing, some like MMA, some like Tai Chi, some like body building and some like Cross Fit.

What is the purpose in looking for the negative in Cross Fit when everything about it produces positive results?

There are two problems with cross-fit. First one is the stupid cultiness that goes on. People buy into it in the same way they buy into a religion. It's considered by adherents to be the only way.

The second problem, and this is the main problem, is that the various circuits are essentially a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs who have seen gym equipment for the first time and don't know how to use it simply making shit up. This results in some horribly dangerous and stupid routines.







Seriously though, what the fuck?

Go to crossfit games to see who's the best at exercising.

But also a hipster fad too, also let me add that there is no way Putin could ever beat Spray in a 1 on 1 fight as I would humiliate and sodomize him for his stance on gays.

nope

back into the history we would farm, be black smith, sword fight, horse ride, walk 100 of miles (not on smooth road) to fight wars and this would make us strong. much stronger than the gym bums who carry black metal inside a warm building and then go for a hot shower naked together

in fact i know a farmer who can pick a man up (180lbs) with one arm
