Crossfit always struck me as something for people who want to be mediocre at everything. It’s a housewives workout- will keep you in decent shape just to live.
But I doubt you’d find any elite athletes benefitting from doing that random garbage. You certainly won’t find anyone with a decent amount of size, with the exceptions of genetically gifted weirdos that fall through the door a gym and get huge.[/quote]
Really that is funny. Could you tell me why all of the Military Special Forces use Crossfit? Could you tell me why Navyseals.com has a CrossFit workout of day? I guess the elite special forces use it because they want to be mediocre.
[/quote]
I find it funny also that people view the top crossfit athletes as mediocre. What draws most people to the sport is how difficult it really is, which draws in a lot of monsters.
Top guys at the sectional competition I just competed in were all incredibly muscular, lean and strong. To give you an idea of the competition, I’ve deadlifted 535lbs, push Jerk 300lbs, won a national championship in strongman at 175lb class and came in 20th of 150 people…

People who do that are just parroting what they hear from other people from internet forums who probably don’t even workout.

Great article.
What’s weird is that Rippetoe promotes this system, yet it contradicts some of the very same principles he promotes in SS and PP. In his SS protocol, the power clean is done on a different day than the DL, whereas it is often done after the DL during a CrossFit workout.
Also, in PP, he mentions how building maximal strength one of the best things you can do to increase performance at anything. CrossFit does not build maximal strength. [/quote]

I love me some crossfit women![/quote]
While there is a girl with proper form to the right, there is also a girl with some un-holy fuckin rounding going on in the background. She is the one with her back towards us, all I can say is OUCH!
she’ll need someone to rub some ben gay on her back afterwards. should we take numbers, or is the rounding a sign of an improperly activated gluteus, and a sign that she will probably leave something to be desired?
after looking at all these pics, i think i need to do more loitering outside a crossfit gym

The question is though how many of these “monsters” went from untrained individuals to monsters by following the Crossfit mainpage or by attending an affilliate? Normally these “monsters” have had a solid back ground in a specific sport and have then switched to Crossfit for enjoyment post careet.
Point in hand, Eva T. Crossfit does not train olympians like claimed. Ex-olympians train Crossfit for lifestyle/health/enjoyment purposes. Very different.
Also Crossfit as a sport??? get over yourself. Crossfit is a method of training.

So is powerlifting. Olympic lifting said powerlifting was a joke back in the early 60’s. Why would you compete doing a bunch of assistance exercises was the word back in the day. Powerlifting was for people who couldn’t make it in Olympic lifting. Now it’s a whole different sport. So what’s the problem with people wanting to compete in crossfit? It works, people enjoy it and it gets them in great shape.
As far as mainpage- that is only an example, it is not the pinnacle of crossfit training. There are a lot of ways to skin the cat as they say. Most crossfit gyms don’t use it at all.

Hi all my 2c worth
crossfit can be many things to many different people, i dont follow main page WODs but use the principle.
Crossfit themselves say it is just a GPP and recomends to excel at other sports practice for that sport. crossfit wont make you an awesome tennis player but it will give you the conditioning to be able to play hard.
crossfit basically makes all the things i do in life a hell of a lot easier and keeps me fit which weight training never has.

Fighting Irish,
As a coach who now is a CrossFit gym owner and has had 3 Sr. World Team members and one Olympian in Olympic Weightlifting, I have to disagree. I think it is the best developmental physical/mental tool to come down the road in this country. All athletes will benefit from doing this type of program early on and later as a method of doing assistance work, modified to their sport.
CrossFit is not random and leads to a much higher level of fitness than other methods of doing assistance training. I agree with you on your point about size gains. CrossFit will not lead to, say, olympic weightlifter or powerlifter density of muscle. However, I have seen it help lifters deal with long term training in sports better and give them better agility as well. Also, the short, intense workouts give a nice change-up for athletes who are mostly doing slower, sets and low reps type workouts. I find, as an olympic lifting coach, I can get to a lot more assistance work through a cycle by inserting these CrossFit workouts into my regular sessions. And, I have noted that in contests, my athletes are more ready for their next lift, with shorter rest periods. Simply, their fitness is way, way, up.
My wife, Suzanne Leathers, for instance, who, ten years ago snatched 102kgs and C&J 122kgs (74kg bdywgt), recently decided to get back into shape and did it mostly with CrossFit. She got back to some lifting earlier this year and did 67/92kgs a month ago at 67kg bdywgt. She is 38 years old and hadn’t trained much in the last nine years. This past weekend she competed in a 10k race and completed it in just over an hour.
I simply put her back on a good lifting program and had her do a couple of CrossFit workouts per week. So, with modification, the CrossFit program can be very useful, in my opinion. And, for very young (6-13) children, I don’t think you really need much else.
