re: Crossfit is a sham- as told by a crossfitter

Crossfit is a joke Lester earl. Sorry you're butthurt

Please post your height and weight and BF% please

5-10 190 12%

Deadlift: 405
Bench: 285
Squat: 345
C&J: 215
Snatch: 165

Still bringing those C&J and Snatches up.

I see Cross Fit gyms closing down all over the place.

I was strength and size training so my workouts were 4-5 lifts with about 85% max weight.

2-3 min rests between sets.

So each lift was about 15 min including warmup/weight acclimation sets.

well then don't you think you're kinda comparing apples and oranges? You spent all that time building muscle fiber and inducing satellite cell differentiation, and that tissue is now contributing to your daily RMR.

You will never get stronger doing crossfit than you would have doing what you were doing before but saying crossfit is better because it only takes an hour is like saying playing basketball for an hour is better than powerlifting.

So a key part of crossfit is doing compound movements for time which you say is dangerous right Lester?

---

I was being facetious saying it is dangerous.

i never compromise my form for speed. Most smart people are this way.

which ones in Nola?

Chubby admin girl at work used to tell me how great crossfit was at helping her lose weight. I think she quit going around the time she had her ACL surgery. Funny thing is everyone else I know who has torn an ACL was doing something cool like playing Div. 1/NFL football or downhill skiing.

Are there really people ITT white knighting for crossfit?

what's ITT
