I went undercover to find out why people do CrossFit

It is difficult to take seriously anyone with their socks pulled up to their knees.

Damn good point monsson. This explains alot for me, other than the obvious using the squat rack for curls , deads and 5 pieces of equipment at a time while flailing around the gym, I could never quite put my finger on what really bugged me about them.

I don't understand the dislike toward this sport. I don't personally do this sport because I'm only interested in strength.

But if you watch the CF games (I like watching them), there are some really impressive people there with some physiques a lot of us were aiming for when we first started weight lifting.

I don't see what's wrong with doing cardio and making yourself healthy. Its a chance to take cardio that isn't fun and try new stuff and creative.

Its like any other sport. Go to a nice school to learn and you'll be fine.

And also, some of the weights used in the CF game were heavy. One event was 405 dead lift for reps. And then they had to snatch and clean some weight that would be competitive in a local oly lifting competition.

So I don't understand the dislike.

Just my $0.02

Ios this the ''hovercraft' manuever?? Very sporty color scheme tho , must be irish!!

 

[Rottenrogue]

Some Irish but really just have no sense of color coordination. The socks actually say " crazy " on them.
Monsoon my comp results tell ya how good I am at crossfit

 

[monsoon]

Indeed. Very good. I'll pull mine up immediately.
RR I'm sure that you don't wander around the grocery store etc in your comp gear, do you?

 

[Rottenrogue]

Not intentionally. If I need to get grub after training I won't change beforehand
