I admit that I like to watch the games. I think that the people that compete at the highest level are pretty amazing. Yet at the same time, I think it's an illusion. When you look at the biographies of the guys at the top, they are all former college athletes, not regular folks that built themselves up through cross fit. I know 3 different folks that have done cross fit only to have injuries. In fact, one of my coworkers just had to have back surgery for an injury resulting from a squat based WOD. The doctors say he'll NEVER squat again because of Crossfit.

I believe that there are good things about cross fit in terms of the intensity. It makes people lift harder than they ever would otherwise and that produces some results I'm sure. However, someone needs to tell these folks that if they applied that intensity to a properly programmed routine, with a proper diet, they could get the same results or better with WAY LESS risk.

I think there are things to be learned from it that can be taken, piece-mealed out and used in other routines, but overall it looks like a bunch of over-training.
