I've been working out for 11 years now and it is starting to get tough to motivate myself. A couple of my friends have started doing Crossfit and they love it.

Anyone here do it? What are you experiences?

On a good note I noticed there are alot of hot chicks who go to the location I'm interested in...
 


I fkn hate crossfit, so much broscience and bullshit being passed around there.

What are your goals op, if we have those we can help you get a better answer.
 
brah, 11 years and you're no longer motivated. I don't know what to tell you.

I think crossfit is a bunch of shit and not worth doing. Since you have a weight lighting background your form is perfected and I don't see you injuring yourself.

What was the reason you workout? Chicks? Health? I say stick to the tried and true leave the fads to the asshats.

That gif illustriates another reason i hate these fkn tards. kipping chins and pull ups is a great way to fkn destroy your shoulder, along with the fkn bastard of a power clean they teach. oh yeah and the weighted squats while standing on a medicine ball, the list of derp ass shit they do is endless.

^^ This. Crossfit is pretty much a joke unless you're just going there to creep on the females. Depending on your goals, a decent free weight/machine routine plus decent diet would be a better use of your time.
 
I am know a ton of physical therapists who will be happy to see you after you rape your shoulders and back lifting stupid shit over your head 1000 times.

In theory, it's a great idea. I love sprints and HIIT type stuff. But in practice, most of these people are morons. If you're older than 25, beware - you're eventually going to fuck something up.

lmao i graduated from the ranks of curlbro a couple years ago thankfully.

i like to keep things simple and heavy with a lot of compounds.

rows, deads, atg squats, chins, cleans, and dips

p.s. - squats will build the fuck out of your abs, that is if you can manage to get a set in with all the fkn tards curling in the squat rack =(
 
The reason I'm interested in it is that I want to start doing Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, etc annually. Those are more about muscular endurance/cardio than strength. The only thing that really prepares you for those races in Crossfit.

Absolute bollocks. This is only true with shit form and done incorrectly, the same as ANY lift.

The only lifts you need to do are squats, deadlifts, weighted pull-ups, and bench. Occasional accessory lifts, but maybe 1-2x/week.

Then I'd recommend you look into Starting Strength with cardio thrown in the mix, just be sure to calculate your macros correctly.

you misunderstood what i was saying. im saying that kipping pullups is a great way to fkn destroy your shoulders. controlled pullups performed correctly should be a staple in anyone's routine.

here's what crossfit encourages...

My good friend is a very high profile Physical Therapist. I've been telling him to get a book written on the top 10 Crossfit Injuries for a while. Nobody likes going to the doctor until it's too late. He's piss his own profession off though.

Seeing as though weightlifting / weight lifting has been around for a LOT longer than CrossFit, and there are far more people who weight train... I find this amusing.
 
LOL, i love this forum.

edit - more lols
