Objectively speaking, why is crossfit "bad"...

random exercise selection, no proper recovery time, no progressive overload. If you want minimal gains and to stay small, crossfit is good. Big crossfitters either lift properly separately or roid.

Honestly I thought it was a very racist atmosphere. I have been to 3 crossfit gyms as a black man and every single one was filled with whites (and the occasional asian/hispanic) they acted weird to me. I would rather not be in a hostile environment like that. I mean just look at your pic the best crossfit "athletes" are white whereas all of the best real athletes are black.

nice triple b8

Out of all bait, why is racebait the most effective on this site?

damn when did crossfit become based

The requirements to be a certified trainer for it is as bad as Mcdojos giving away black belts
Kind of Culty like veganism
Secretly bans blacks from joining

lol look at this retard who is probably going to get like 100,000 dollars of inherited wealth that he'll waste away by the time he's 40
>not wanting to pay to spend time with retards = being poor
no, you are just retarded

race is one of the biggest taboos in modern society. saying the word "nigger" out loud is literally a life-ending situation for some people.
at the same time, there are extremely obvious differences between races and extreme racial tensions that western society is desperately trying to pretend don't exist and that everybody is the same.

The difference between crossfit and bodybuilding/powerlifting/athletics is like the difference between Kung Fu and boxing. Sure, the kung fu is going to give you an advantage over an average, untrained guy but you're still going to get your ass kicked by the boxer 9/10

Crossfit is a lowkey white nationalist organization, you can see it in the way they lionize the police/military. This would be troublesome if their members didn't routinely injure themselves seemingly by design.

>My brother and his wife just started and it seems to be working well for them. I am thinking about joining up myself.
Just wait until they are at least 2 months into it and then decide based on their improvement.
Crossfit is really unsustainable for beginners and some of their exercises are brosciece tier shit that fucks up your joints.

There's a reason I only ever hear people "Starting" crossfit

Ive been doing crossfit for 4 years.

Why

>AMA

Do you expect to have healthy joints in your 30's?

My wife (who was starting to get a little chubby, but still hot) started doing it, and I had become a fatass after college (gained up to 295 pounds) I was determinded to not have her fucking chad at the gym while I jerked off to 2d porn on Jow Forums. I started going lost, 95lbs. Wife lost 10 pounds (she only weight 130 at her heaviest) and now shes super hot, and im still a weird looking dude whos not fat.

Also a good diet is 10000% more important than any workout routine.

crossfit for cardio during weight loss is completely different than using it trying to gain muscle

It all depends on the gym. Cross fit is franchised so a shitty coach=shitty program

Well I am currently 29, and my wife turns 30 in 4 months. So far neither of us have been injured. A lot of the stupid movements (Hand-stand pushups, any type of fast deadlift or snatch) we both skip because the reward doesnt out weigh the benifit.

Also it seems like a common misconception is there are only high rep workouts. We have a dedicated portion of weight lifting every day at the gym. Usually low reps with high weights. every 12 weeks we test for a new max.

>because the reward doesnt out weigh the benifit

supposes to say

> because the reward doesnt out weigh the risk

its a farce of a sport. it's like taking a high school P.E. class but with fitness gimmicks disguised as "legit lifts bro". the injury rate is pretty high, plus most of the people in the class are insufferable.

>gets his first hip replacement surgery at 40

Wtf I love CrossFit now

Wait, then what makes it crossfit?
The entire purpose is high rep and high intensity exercises

>every 12 weeks we test for a new max
You should really cut that time frame in half unless you're only lifting 3 days a week

>hurr, you're poor because you don't buy things above their prize
Retard.

>Objectively speaking, why is crossfit "bad"?
If you just want to get big, you can read the sticky and get a cheap home gym setup for better results on a smaller budget.
If you're a normie and like social clubs, without caring about gains all too much, crossfit might be the best choice (as long as you avoid doing stupid shit).

you do both, we lift in the beginning of class then do the high rep/high intensity workout. Pretty much all gyms are like this.

So the first 30 or so minutes are conventional weightlifting then the last 30 or so is "crossfit style workouts".

all thos guys are on roids

The rich stay rich because they don’t waste their money on stupid shit. Why pay $250 a month on something that objectively worse than something that costs $20 a month?

>all of the best real athletes are black.

Doesn't that depend on the sport, friendo? Are all the best curling athletes black?

They must be eating immaculately and have superman tier natty test levels to be that lean, muscular and with washboard abs, all natty.

poorfag detected

in my eyes crossfit is more of a thing for women, they love group workouts and stuff. most guys would rather have a routine specific to their goals and needs instead of just doing generic WOD type stuff where the main focus often is the community and noot pushing yourself individually. Atlest that is the general vibe at the crossfit gyms here, they do all types of exercises from oly lifting to powerlifting to strongman. And they arent horrible in those areas but in the end anyone who has trained one of these aspects seriously for even 6 months blows them out of the water. Which is understandable, they only ever do a few reps here and there maybe have a bunch of sessions but that's no way to learn complex movements. The way real olympic weightlifters train is they do that movement over and over and over again and ingrain it into their brain. Day in day out they train this fucking movement, ofc to them a crossfit dude doing these movements looks like a 5y old who is just starting their sport.

And all this wouldnt be a problem if some crossfit dudes didnt act like they are the "elite" in these sports they barely even understand. I did a few workouts with the crossfit guys as one of my coworkers often goes there, most of them were pretty weak and the weights they were using werent impressive at all. Nevertheless it was actually quite a lot of fun to work out together with them and will do it again. However if you train for strength the way they train at that specific gym isnt gonna give you that. However if you want to be fit and prefer the social aspect of it I can see why people like it.

At over $100 billion net, yeah, I actually do think he's not making anything.

At that point you've got all the properties and staff you could ever appreciate, indefinitely. So yeah, dropping half a bil makes total sense

With that attitude no wonder you’re still poor

Ok here is a nice watch company, does it mean youre mega rich just because you have a nice watch (which is one of their cheaper ones). You are a fucking poorfag yourself if you think having a $20k watch makes you "mega-rich".

See above. Nobody makes money from wearing a watch, or buying an expensive car or house. If you have money, spending it is just like a normie spending $5,000 its nothing.

>t. from an affluent family

it's a strength sport, ofc anybody at the national level and above roids. I dont get that argument, go to any nationals for powerlifting or strongman and you wont find a single natty there. why talk shit about crossfit for being the same way ? it is just the way these sports work.

Curling
>sport

>high rep deadlifts and olympic lifts
>recovery between sets nonexistent
>constantly elevated cortisol and adrenaline for non roiders
>female roiders love crossfit for some reason??

I know this is bait but I'm going to respond anyways because this shits fun. If black athletes were better athletes how come they can't outperform the CrossFit crowd? And you know that hostile feeling? That's how whites have to feel around blacks all the time.

Blacks can’t compete in CrossFit because they aren’t welcomed in the gyms. Why is that so hard to understand you mong.

it is exercise selection. The concept of high rep conditioning is good, but don't use technical lifts like the olympic lifts or deadlifts. Also most CF coaches are shit and will let your form go to shit to push out those last couple of reps.
Competition is good, but to push yourself to the limit every workout is bad. You will overreach.
And at last the top crossfitters don't even do crossfit outside of competition.

If you like the idea of crossfit look in to Brian Ahlruhes programming.

because it's not objectively worse, simple as that. it is just different, if you actually went to a crossfit gym and worked out with them you would know. not everyone wants to go to a gym and follow the same monotonous routine day in and day out - sure it might give the best results in terms of strength and performance but for normies that doesnt matter that much. in crossfit gyms you get tons of variety in training and can try out a ton of different stuff alongside learning olympic lifts and doing group workouts with your mates. It is a far more social and interesting activity than doing Bench, Squat, DL, Row, OHP and their variations every week. One week you do some Navy Seal training, next week strongman type stuff and maybe the week after that mostly oly lifting.

So for normies they can have a more social environment, more variety and still get fit and look decent. Could they pay 1/10th and look better and be stronger ? Sure but they wouldnt be because the atmosphere in the gym and the way that works doesnt work for them as well. And I get it, I went to a crossfit gym my mate invited me when some Navy Seal instructor was there and it was a ton of fun to push yourself getting yelled at by all your mates to go to your limit. Does it make sense for regular strength training ? No but it is a ton of fun working out all day doing hard exercises and having fun with your mates. Different things for different people.

I think nobody is saying Crossfit gives the BEST gains or makes you the strongest here though. But bashing it based on that doesnt make sense to me as it is so different.

Usually much more social than a normal gym, atleast in my experience. Generally more variety in training styles and exercise selection and more geared towards conditioning. Will it make you the strongest guy you could be ? No. Will it teach you oly lifts as well as a real weightlifting gym ? No. Will it turn you into a cardiofag who can compete with real cyclists ? No. But for many people it's a lot of fun and you will be somewhat of a jack of all trades master of none kinda athlete and have a decent body. Sure someone who trains specifically for one area will outshine you in that, but to many people that doesnt matter and they prefer the way crossfit does things.

What's so complicated about a tractor tire and a pull-up bar? Quit making excuses nigger.

Dyel faggot? Most aren't even at natty limit.

It's a cult.

Destroys shoulders. Without healthy shoulder joints, you will never be Jow Forums again.

It's only bad for beginners, it's great for intermediate or advanced lifters, and GOAT for retired athletes.

>what is running

I swear this board is so fucking stupid when it comes to running.

If I didn't live in a white city this endorsement would have made me join CrossFit.

It's just unfair. On the other hand, they risk their health so maybe they do deserve to be admired.

Don't have too much experience but it seems like a good program. The biggest advantage for some is the community around it. They do some dumb exercises but for the most part its a great way to build fitness. Also and cute Nordic girls

Heard crossfit gyms don't allow members free (not as in momentary) access to equipment like you would at a regular commercial gym.

You MUST partake in the class.

I'd honestly be down to use their gym and equipment if they weren't married to their dumb group classes.

Gotta recruit for the cult I guess

I have never heard that at my gym. there you can go in there any time and use their equipment you want which is included in the membership fee.

post body/lifts

>The concept of high rep conditioning is good, but don't use technical lifts like the olympic lifts or deadlifts
>>high rep deadlifts and olympic lifts
LMAO you can do high rep kettlebell snatches and clean&jerks but somehow BARBELL snatches and clean&jerks are bad

It's high intensity low recovery circuit training with a company brandname that spawned it's own fitness counter culture. Describing it as a "cult" is understandable given the attitude of some of its biggest adherents.

Him buying that yacht is the equivalent of someone with a 100k a year salary buying one meal from the Taco Bell dollar menu

Imagine being such a pussy that you quit the quest for bettering yourself because of the way people in a gym look at you

Its next level fitness humans designed to weed out geneticlets that couldnt handle extreme weightlifting. You either have peak body genetics to survive the crossfit games or your genetics fail you and you get weeded out.

Olympic lifts are some of the most intensive weight lifts you can do and put extreme stress on your joints if you perform them even slightly incorrectly. Crossfit autists have been seen in their little boxes doing these lifts for high reps at high speed, usually with very poor form under 1 or more plates. That's just begging for injury.

>LMAO you can do high rep kettlebell snatches and clean&jerks but somehow BARBELL snatches and clean&jerks are bad
I don't know who says that, but how heavy are those kettlebells again?

Olympic lifts put very little strain on your joints you idiot.

Everyone I've met into Crossfit are usually in good shape and can't stop talking about it. If it works for them whats the problem?

i mean as far as i know your muscles wont implode by doing box jumps at a regular gym if you want to, you pay for the membership for the equipment, not for the right to only train like a powerlifter

To be fair CrossFit explicitly differentiates between Kipping (gymnastic movement) and a strict (strength movement).

Just look at people doing kipping, tells you everything you need to know about crossfit.
