Crossfit is fucking bullshit and its nothing more than a fad workout routine like fad diets. Hopefully it will go away before I have to hear about how great it is from another douchebag.
If you can bench more than you can squat, you're doing it wrong!
Cross fits good for the ladies but not for size guys !
I actually liked crossfit, it was fun and the people were nice.... stoopid but nice.
I went for a month and learned a little, not much. The lack of oversight from the trainers and the lack of programing and routine drove me away.
The spirit that I have seen may be the devil: and the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape; yea, and perhaps out of my weakness and my melancholy, as he is very potent with such spirits, abuses me to damn me.
It's here to stay, guys. They have big money behind it now and there's something like 150k people that signed up for the CF Games.

Reebok will be enough to keep it here.
I'd rather people do CF than nothing at all.
I don't like that you can become a certified CF trainer in a weekend, and then your qualified to teach people how to do Olympic lifts.
I have seen it work for poeple..It certainly is Overtraining IMO..but it is essentially stole Olympic lifts and strongman and combined them with a fitness type class.
The people at my gym that do crossfit annoy the shit out of me. I yell at them more then anyone..Trying to do handstand pushups and box jumps and setup right in the middle of the gym and in everyones way and not caring. Seems to breed alot of arrogance..why I am not sure.
I had a kid cleaning and pressing 135 staring at me after doing his set like he was tough, so I went up to him and asked him, "do you get beat up alot"...He walked away quickly. For some reason these guys think that it makes them elite.
I do have several friends that got into this....even Pro strongman and even Mark Bell have converted over to that type of training. Half of me feels like they sold out for money.
At the same time, better crossfit then being some slob on a respirator wheeling around in a Hoveround in Walmart with 8lbs of bacon in their cart claiming Obesity based Disability benefits.
