Comments Thread For: Guerrero: CrossFit Training Gives Endurance Big Boost

[_original_]

Crossfit has gotten me in the best shape out of all the fitness I've ever done! It makes you more athletic which is something I find most boxers to lack because of their old school training that involves no core

That's because boxing will always be a skill-first sport. Yes, certainly your condition plays a big part but doing crossfit won't make you a better boxer as much as just sticking to the basics (bags, shadow, sparring, ect.) which will also get you into shape. I'd say that things such as crossfit can be a great supplementary element but it should never take priority over your boxing routine.

Guerrero is gonna end up getting rhabdo for his next fight.

There's a thread with video out there of Guerrero doing so called cross fit. I think it was hectari who made it. From what I remember he wasn't doing any of the crazy exercises that are original to crossfit. He was doing deadlifts amongst other things that strengthen core.

I love crossfit as well.

It's probably the toughest workout I've ever done.

I like crossfit because before I was only able to do 3 sets of 12 reps of pull ups with a 5 minutes break now instantly the crossfit way I can do 100 without stopping.

I am the top of my class

100 pullups without stopping?

I'd like to see that.

Lol. Regular Pull-Ups I would be able to rep those out easy, even though I rarely do them. If I try that Cross-Fit Pull-Up my Permanently Injured Shoulder will dislocate and my arm would teleport off my body in a blaze of pain and glory.
People are morons ignoring form. It's okay to some small extent, but definately not to full-****** extent they go to.

boxers should not do that type of pullup. nobody should.

Ahhhhh, the famed Crossfit 'Kipping' pull-up.

The correct way to do an incorrect pull-up.

And completely ruin your palms and wrists at the same time.

Highly useful for any professional boxer i'm sure...

Of course he's going to say that they;re paying him

I hate the ****** religious **** that CrossFit does, but I also used it to get in shape for my fights.

I get the hate, CrossFit does it to itself really, but the injury rate isn't 40%. The most recent study found it close to 25% but it was a ****** small sample (10 people).

And in regards to kipping pullups - Have you guys ever seen the olympics? The ring routines, parallel and uneven bars? Those guys are consistently doing kipping pull ups. Kipping pullups aren't programmed to increase your strength, they are meant to keep your heart rate up. All of my CrossFit coaches have said that if you can't do at least 5-10 dead hang pullups, kipping isn't for you.
