Once I started crossfit I had to fill out a form saying I would talk about it and tell people I do it as often as possible.


So, here it is. I do crossfit.

5'10" and 190 is overweight, not morbidly, but overweight. Deal with it. Maybe the crossfit isn't the right exercise routine for you.

So, do they charge black people more because of their higher rates of hypertension and strokes? Do redheads get higher rates for increased melanoma risks? Do women with a history of breast cancer pay higher rates? If you get ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt, does your health insurance premium rise?

The whole deal is just a big scam to make more money, just like the whole health care industry in general.

U so fat........and so mad.

I wouldn't say by Crossfit standards but by others standards. I think that's why Crossfit was discovered though so you can determine the ultimate level of fitness. Kai Greene has an awesome physique but I doubt he could do well in a metcon workout.

By the same token one could say an Iron Man athlete is the fittest in the world but they couldn't pick up the weight Kai Greene can so I think by combining both worlds you get a better definition of what is "fit"

FTR crossfit does not equal the ultimate level of fitness. The people who you keep talking about have the genetics that they would be ultimately fit regardless of what half baked workout they are doing.

BMI is very inaccurate for tall or short people. It is only usable by average height people who are not intense athletes.

A professor at Oxford has made a much better index than BMI but it is more complicated to understand (thus lower adoption rates).

Interesting, what's it called?
