CrossFit is great. If you find a good gym and aren't a complete idiot and understand what you can do, and when to take time off, you'll see great results.

Just lift weights, run, or play sports like a normal person. Don't try to combine them all.

I've done all three. Crossfit is not combining them all: my gym focuses on Olympic weightlifting with some gymnastics and cardio work included. It's a great workout.

Not at all, they've gained popularity a bit and I get asked about it fairly often if I wear one of my race shirts out to do a random errand or something. I'm sure there are assholes in it like in anything else but I've never seen them.

The best part is watching everyone struggle with something in the realm of either cardio or strength. Oftentimes the winner isn't some jacked slab of muscle but someone that looks like they'd win a traditional race.

Oly lifting is the exact opposite of CrossFit because it requires good form

Never ceases to baffle me that they'll take a complex lift like a snatch or a clean and do it for reps and for speed. There's a reason why the Olympics don't feature the "ten rep clean and jerk" event.

It's not CrossShit unless you delibrately rupture your spintcher doing it.

So it can grow back stronger, you see.

CrossFit seems goofy as poo poo, but an overweight female coworker lost like 70 lbs and got jacked as gently caress.

She also had to take a bunch of time off from ripping some kind of ligament.

so you're saying she started working out regularly and lost weight, but chose the type that seriously injures people and she got injured eventually?

I used to do crossfit and was super obnoxious about it. I now realize that it’s a lot of overpriced nonsense, but it did introduce me to Olympic lifting, strongman, powerlifting etc (done properly under the supervision of actual experienced coaches). So some good came of it I guess?
