I feel like since starting Crossfit I could kill a bear with my bare hands.
I’m not sure how serious this guy was but you do see lots of dumb shit there like people saying they’re getting smarter and needing fewer hours of sleep and all kinds of shit.[/quote]
Some guy started a thread there not too long ago asking about how to set up his toilet so he could shit in a more paleo way. Holy facepalm to that.

That’s a great example of how silly they are over on that forum.
It’s weird how many things they do because Crossfit said so. I mean right down to which shoes they all wear, books they read and even th epolitical links every rest day.
I heard Dr. Stuart McGills tashe fell off after watching this!

I like the girl in the green shorts. Also, good music.
Crossfit, tho, is ridic. Frantically rushing through each exercise just so you can frantically rush to the next exercise has nothing to do w/ mental or physical health. Crazy idiocy needs to be mocked and lampooned.
Really? On this site, with these damn forums, people are going to point at some posts on a crossfit one and then draw out how fanatical/loopy/cult-ish they are? WOW, I mean if someone that didn’t work out that much popped on these boards they’d think anyone that even lifted was fucking nuts.
I did crossfit when I was young. It was called being active . Powerlifting workout at lunch . Football , street hockey later at night. Maybe hoops. Unload coal for dad mid afternoon . I stretched at night.
I called it the Tom. Most people called it being active. Just because some silly ass packages being active to the yuppies , newbies, housewives etc doesn’t mean they’re doing it right . There’s this stuff called wrestling training , mma training , decathlon training , football or basketball training where they get in in pretty decent shape . You know , strong , fast , agile.
You want to “crossfit” call up a Martin Rooney , Mike Robertson , Eric Cressey , or josh Bryant . Theylle give you a program that will measurably improve multiple factors ( not to hard of you’re a beginner ) and you’ll do it safer .
Or do 5 3 1 and add in jump roping and hill sprints . You don’t need a gym full of zealots and crazy chicks who think they’re the bomb because they did a clean.

First, may I ask if you’ve frequented the CrossFit board?
Because by pretty much any standard they are more likely to follow one direction for anything fitness related (or even beyond).
The number of different routines used by the people here on T Nation would undoubtedly be much wider.
I mean you did notice that the main site even endorses one side of the political spectrum, right?

apparently, that’s a real lift, some type of strongman lift.

Looks like they were trying for heavy single “hang power cleans.”
I imagine at lighter loads it looks prettier.
Typically the coaches allow this ugliness since it is not always trained in this fashion at heavy reps. The goal might have been to just get as much weight as humanly possible over head, regardless of how it looks (Crossfit does not always care about form because they believe in life sometimes we just have to get the weight up at all costs).
