re: People still obsessed with Crossfit need to go away

With CrossFit it is not matter of “if”you will get injuried but a matter of “when” you will get injuried.

If I hear about ‘burpies’ one more time I’m going to stomp a kitten.

I did 40 burpee pull-ups right before I did 55 squat cleans then ran 800m and finished it off with 100 doubleunders before half of you mouth breathers woke up this morning.

Just wanted to let y’all know.

I lift almost every day and love it. I absolutely would have and probably should have done Crossfit in my early to mid-20s. I'm 33 now and wouldn't even think of trying it for fear of injury.

You fear injury at an age that is considered prime to end prime of most athletes? This has nothing to do with CrossFit, but that's a pretty stupid premise.

There's a few guys and girls that do crossfit where I work. They are much like the OP said, their entire day revolves around their workout. I'm often left to wonder how their wife's (or husbands) are ok with them not getting home until 6:30-7:00 because they go workout for 2-3 hours everyday. They eat nothing but what I call "healthy crap" all day and their Facebooks are full of nothing but pictures and comments about their latest competition.

But this is where it gets good. There's a divide, between these 20-30 year olds and the older people in the company who also used to work out in similar ways. Their stories are of how because of weight training, or even running, they are now left with serious back issues, knee issues, shoulder, elbow, wrists. Anything you can think of, these individuals often make comments about "yeah you'll be like me when you're my age and not be able to walk because of all that weight you play with. This is met with disagreement from the younger guys, because they say their bodies are in such great shape.

Nothing, and in all honesty, I love kittens and would never stomp one.
