Same here. But I do know that Crossfit can turn normal female bodies into outstanding female bodies.
Then I don’t get why anyone would hate it.[/quote]
x2,
Most people dont hate on crossfit for any reason other then some xfit guys take it too far with the preaching… everyone has different goals, and for anyone to say xfit is useless has never tried it, or seen the females that come out of it… I personally love any idea that gets more people moving weight instead of sitting on the couch, that said, it doesnt fit my goals so I dont do it, but, i get it…
I like crossfit. I convinced my sister to do it and I would quite possibly do it myself if my wife didn’t require a (PL) training partner.
That being said, I really can’t stand when people pretend it is something it isn’t. Crossfit is GPP, nothing more. I hate when people on their forum say “just do crossfit” when someone is asking for advice on training for a specific activity. I hate when kool-aide drinkers say things like “imagine how fast Lance Armstrong would be if he did crossfit instead of his sucky training”. I’m annoyed when people claim that someone is doing crossfit when they haven’t done the unmodified WOD for years.
If you’re some guy working a desk job who wants a program to stay in shape for your hockey league in the winter and baseball in the summer (or whatever weekend warrior sport you do) then it is great. If you have specific goals such as bodybuilding or high-level sport performance then it isn’t for you.
