re: PEDs in Crossfit Games

And you're not willing to use the same analysis for crossfit?



You're a special kind of stupid. The kind that thinks they are right despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

ETA: Clearly fits the universally-accepted definition of sport, yet still not a sport.

Laugh all you want but the base of crosscult or any exercise routine is from track & field. Only one of the oldest, if not the oldest, sporting events in history. The base of any exercise is some form of running- distance or sprint. And sprint drills. The very thing football, baseball, and basketball players use today.

That's great and very well true. Unfortunately, none of that does anything to show crossfit isn't a sport. Ironiclally enough, you seem to insinuate that crossfit isn't a sport because the base of its movements are derived from track and field, and then point out how the base of track and field has been used in the main three sports as well. All in the same post. Remarkable really

I can tell I may not be dealing with the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I'll try to use words and logic that someone of your intelligence might understand.

Crossfit events are sports. Cleans, Jerks, Snatches, runs of varying distances, swims of varying distances, programmed workouts done for time. That's sports.

You can crossfit to exercise to get in shape or stay in shape.

Running, body weight movements, and weightlifting are the basis of the big 3 sports for exercise to get in shape. Yet there are crossfit events held all over the place, using these exercises. Sporting events.

So crossfit is both a sporting event (when meets are held) and exercise.

Crosscult is a derivative of sporting events(sprints/running/swimming/Olympic lifting), it's not a sport. It's exercise only.

Football, baseball, basketball use sprint drills, running and lifting as exercise, it's not their sport. It's exercise. They use the derivatives of said sports to get in shape. That's it. That's crosscult....exercise. And the "games" are about exercise, being fit, that's it.

Don't bother, Taurus hates crossfit so much he is in every single crossfit thread ever posted here calling it "crosscult" about a hundred times. You'd almost think he was a closet crossfitter or something. Or just a douche.

Crossfitter in games currently, competing in olympics in 2 weeks

You're just a miserable person

Hey, props. But it reads as though she was in weightlifting first, then used crosscult to help with her real sport. Just sayin'....

Lots of professional male gymnasts do Crossfit.

Annnnnnndd????

I see pro football players doing crosscult, but I'm not talking pro athletes using cc as a training program, I'm talking a cc'er that is not pro in anything trying to make it in sports.

The weightlifter mentioned above was in that sport before doing cc. It's a training program used to help with her sport.

A crossculter cannot compete in a decathlon or olympic lifting or gymnastics at all.

You said this.

And my point is apparently they can if gymnasts do Crossfit. Not every Crossfitter is the average Joe.

Bruce began weightlifting in 1997 as part of a strength and conditioning program for football. Now a three-time Senior Nationals medalist, Bruce has represented Team USA at every Senior World Championships since 2005 with the goal of competing at the 2012 Olympic Games.

See he was a Oly. weightlifter FIRST.
