fashion trend ................. sheep following rest of herd................

they have lost sight of the origional concept and got caught up in their own avalanche...........that was one of the reasons the "gym jones" guy fell out


far too focused on the competition side of things and speed over technique

The idea in principle was very sound, but as popularity has grown there has been a big trend towards the competition side of things and spped over technique

we have a crossfitter who trains at the gym here and when he dose a WOD in the first instances when he is fresh technique is ok, but as soon as he starts to tire at that speed he not only makes mistakes that could injure him, but also the possibility of injuring others

also some of the techniques taught in crossfit, particularlky the GH ab situp (with an excruciatiung hip flexor snap) and the over swinging in their KB swing and the extreme lean back in their deadlift amongst other things are just waiting for a massive law suit to happen.......unfortunately it will be against an affiliate rather than the "crossfit GOD"That is

also there is a huge money make system in force apart from the extreme prices charged at most CFCs there is the .....catch on quick for allthings "crossfit" wether its vib 5 fingers or latest compression tights (which look fucking stupid in a gym) its a rolling money making machine

then theres also the huge climbing frames that are now being made and sold to CFCs all over at massively high prices................we have had our climbing frame for a few years now, it cost less than £250 to make and has teh ability to be usedand modified to where ever i want it to be...............we had a team of 10 stuntmen hanging from it a few months ago

I can agree with that from what I have seen.

Have not been really paying attention to this end of CF, but it makes sense.

Crossfit on its own can be bad. It depends on the gym and its athletes. Crossfit can be very good to boost endurance and cardio if used in conjuction with proper weigthlifting. Have a good family friend that owns an amazing gym that teaches proper lifting(olympic lifting certified, and crossfit level 3 certified). They have a enet site. Irontribefitness.com. Great folks. Again only works well when used with proper lifting.
