The failure of crossfit comes from the top - by one of the crossfit elites

Annie Thorisdottir, CrossFit’s poster child for years, may have kidney damage from the Games. Let that sink in folks. We’ve gone past “these people know what they are getting into” to “one of the fittest females on Earth may have permanent repercussions from this contest.”

She pee pee herself all the time?

Yeah but she got to compete in a recently made up sport that very few people care about. WORTH IT

that was more a criticism of the games, not Crossfit as a whole

Everything in moderation.

I'm currently orchestrating a merger between Crossfit and Scientology.

This is why I only compete on Broken Skull Ranch.

This defines Crossfit in a nutshell. It's a fricking circus of bizarre, testosterone laden "exercises" that are wrought with potential for injury.
I can't wait for the craze to fade away.

I agree. The Games were brutal this year. This does not change the fact that the program itself works. If you are the average crossfitter you are not doing 12 high intensity work outs in 5 days. This really is a non-issue for non-Games crossfitters.

crossfit is laughable, but this mostly proves that women should not be competing at elite fitness levels; their bodies are just not designed for that type of stress.

The failure of crossfit comes from the fact that you can't reinvent exercise. I have had more than one ortho surgeon tell me that it is not matter of if you will get hurt with crossfit but a matter of how bad. One of them has 2 mastercrafts one bought in 2010 and is named P90X and another one bought in 2013 and named it crossfit.

More power to them, but why would people assume there would be a captive public audience when Olympic level decathlon competitions don't even get much of a viewing audience?

Good principles (which I favor) , bad applications (which is my main criticism of crossfit)
Complex motor movements with heavy weight to exhaustion is a bad idea

Whatever sissy, Crossfit is life and the WODs I post on Facebook are proof positive. Don't come around my Box and talk that trash. How about we give it a go at the next Warrior Dash!!!

Ah, old Dave Castro. The crossfit director who chased off every decent SME crossfit ever had, back when xfit was pretty useful and not the clown show it has become.

At that elite level, I think they've run out of ideas for "workouts" and have pushed the boundaries too far. Just look at the physiques competing nowadays. The drug use on the mens side is very apparent. Its bound to be happening with the women now too. Most of the top athletes are doing this full time and they have everything riding on contests and sponsorship opps.

"The failure of Crossfit"....
By what standards is CF a failure?

I have a buddy of mine who is into crossfit post this reddit thread on Facebook. Sad to read such a laundry list of folks being hurt at the highest levels of competition. I think circuit training is a fantastic format for working out, but adding in heavy weights, and little to no rest/recovery time is a recipe for disaster.
