Ok, Crossfit people, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO POST YOUR SHIT EVERY FUCKING DAY

[Vteckidd]

OMG, I go to the gym 5 days a week for 2 hours, I DONT POST EVERY REP I TAKE EVERY DAY.

Jesus christ is this shit a fucking cult?

I mean I know people that use it religiously and they have seen great results, so Im not knocking the "being in shape" part of it. But it seems to me like Crossfit people are part of this annoying community/cult/family and all they do is use social media to tweet or facebook their workouts and "stats" or WODs.

ITS SO FUCKING ANNOYING.

[Vteckidd]

They should make a site called CROSSBOOK so Crossfit people can go there and jerk each other off.

A lot of people I know, MMA fighters and trainers, are saying Crossfit is dangerous.

Yeah my brother has a friend that did do the Crossfit competitions and says that its really not healthy doing all of those workouts at once and your body feels like shit and aching after.

[D3UC3S]

It's a self esteem thing mike.....they lack it so they have to over compensate on social media and deny the lack of self esteem IRL.

Another reason I am glad I have never been apart of any social media site.

Problem with crossfit is any tom dick and Harry can open a "gym" and with no training charge people $150 a month to "train" doing exercises some website puts out.

False. You have to be a level 1 trainer to own an affiliate and has the brand name 'crossfit'.if you shop for a gym and they copy theworkout from hq than you are not shopping for the right gym.

The whole thing is as annoying as some people who find the need to update their fb every 5 mins. Even in traffic.

FALSE.

You take the training class and your "certified". The certification is a joke, guys 400 lbs can get certified with no formal training what so ever

[Echonova]

[D3UC3S]

Facebook for these people is the ultimate expression of narcissism

Your question has been answered my child.

He was referring to getting in and out of his Miata was like crossfit Training

I can see that. I was need a plasma cutter to get out of a Miata.

[Echonova]

Wow... Neg reps because Crossfit iz srs bidness.





You should try not to hate on my well-defined abs and perfectly sculpted back so much, and do something about your body rather than just sit around and do 12oz curls all day.

Hey, my abs are all well defined. They are defined by a balloon as opposed to a washboard.

[C230K]

Is this like Insanity?

[Sol-Badguy]

I actually had a few friends on FB that had an app that would automagically upload their entire workout everyday when they were done. It's awesome knowing how many pullups you did, brah.

On the Insanity note, I actually like it. I've been doing it for a little while now.

Same goes with personal trainers at la or maybe lifetime. Buy the books, take the test if you pass it you're certified. Its how it is in the personal training industry. So in other words if a 400 lbs man want to buy the books and take the test and certified, than he is a personal trainer.


The question is, are you smart enough to pick the right personal trainer?

That is also true. I do see people at the gym who lift and exercise the absolute worst way. Im not saying all Crossfit is bad.

I just dont like the Hive mentality it breeds. People dont usually just Crossfit. I look at Crossfit like the Jehovahs Witnesses of working out. They arent just happy with being physically fit. They have to belong to some culture/cult, wear the clothes, eat the food, drink the koolaid and preach the message.

Thats what pisses me off

this made my night!

[Vteckidd]

Its like OMG I CROSSFIT, SO I EAT PALEO, I WEAR HURT LOCKER APPAREL ALL DAY, I POST MY WODS ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK HOW MANY BURPEES YOU DID

[ruah_23]

All in all its all come down to your health and your fitness goal. If you think playing hoops for 2 hrs makes you look good,feel good and healthier, go for it.

The reason why cfitters have the mentality is prolly because of the camaradarie at his or her gym. Kinda like the millitary branches people who are marines always go for marines.

As far as the whole crossbook idead, they have one. The cf main website and the comments on every wod of the day. I dont see the reason why people need to post on fb. Thats why i dont have one.

[Vteckidd]

I totally agree with you on the camaraderie aspect. But I feel like its more of a fad than anything.

I know people who pay $200/month for a crossfit gym and go twice a month, like retards. They only go because its "cool".

No way in hell Im paying 200 a month for a gym. Lifetime wanna charged me 79 for a month and i left immediately. If someone just wanna join a gym to look cool, than cf,mma,powerlifting,bodybuilding ect ect is not gonna help them get fit and healthier.

79 a month????????????????????????? You need to go to Quest gym behind the Duluth HS...this place got everything you will ever need to get in shape for anything

[Dmn2258]

hahahaha this thread cracked me up. I was thinking this the other day because everyone on my damn facebook is always going on about how many calories they burn from this...... Cool bro, I work out 7 days a week and I (usually) keep it to myself!

[1moreaccord]

So much agreed - How much life is left in "crossfit"? Place your bets....

On a side rant - These same arguments are exactly why I hate MMA. I know I'm gonna catch flack for this but Yes, I enjoy watching pro fights - These guys are tough and could take me out. They are good fighters and have trained hard.

What I hate about MMA is the fact that now every lean-pseudo-macho man is training MMA and learning the "moves". These MMA "moves/attacks" can be so tactically misguided they are utterly useless. This video : SUPERMAN PUNCH FAIL. - YouTube is everything that is wrong with MMA. The form on that "move" is horrid. Even when pros use it - hands flailing about unable to protect the body, off-center gravity. MMA to the general pop is such a fan-boy glam game.

But meh. who cares.

[Vteckidd]

Remember at the peak of MMA when EVERYONE wore a fucking TAPOUT shirt? OMG, I WATCH MMA, I "train" MMA, I AM MMA!

Thats how Crossfit is now.

I like quest gym. Stopped by there a few weeks ago to get some med balls. Its a nice quiet and no one bother you type of gym. Unlike la or lifetime. Chicks trying to get atenttion from guys. Guys showing off as if tey have a bad childhood. Lonely old man who tried to talk to everybody.. Comenon! Just fiing work out already!
