when this crossfit meme will die?

Idk, the kid has bretty good form.

>>36165045
>Bar + 5 lbs
bump it to about 1pl8 and see if he has good form

>>36164896
Those pushups should be punishable by law.

>>36165072
He's like 8. He'll be doing 1pl8 when he's 12, and prob more than you when he's 16.

I just don't get why they do so many reps and then randomly superset it kipping pull ups and push-ups and whatever the fuck. I get that it's supposed to be hard and it probably is but what the fuck are they going for?

>>36164896
The kid looks like he is having so much fun with it. I hope he doesnt get injured so one day he can do some real lifting, he has pretty good form with the bar.

>>36164896
kid's gon be rekt by 25

I don't understand these funny weights. It just looks like they are pretending to lift

>>36165144
their "sport"
it's sole goal is "functional strength", they compete in who the most "functional" badass is

to top it off, killing oneself is the actual training and rhabdo is the trophy

>>36165101
He will probably hit snap city before me lmfao

If you practice good form crossfit style training is great.

They are not even push ups, more like flop ups

>>36165300

Great at cardio and hurting yourself

>>36165280
Yeah, but what is "functional" about power cleaning 40kg 20 times? They should use kettle bells or something.

>>36165080

>Not doing kipping pushups

Not gonna make it

>>36165379
Yeah, it's weird. Even then it's just better to be stronger generally and crossfit seems like a muscular endurance thing. It's probably good for losing weight I guess but it just seems like a weird way to go about it.

>>36166106
Crossfitters would beat powerlifters in a fight for that reason. :)

Literally all 3 of them would destroy you in every physically activity besides lifting something heavy for less than 5 reps after resting for 5 minutes.

If you don't understand this, you failed in life and got trapped by powerlifting and Olympic lifting.

Most guys on here lift for hypertrophy (8-12 rep range).

>>36164896

In 5 years.

disrespecting shit his dad paid for and told him to do. MFW

>>36166943
Then most guys on here like to suck the dick.
What sort of faggot lifts for looks?!

while this kind of exercise should be encouraged crossfit just encourages it to do it with shit form

even though the kid was lifting 5lbs he was bending his back real bad

>>36165300
This true. We did a lot in the Infantry, many fire drpartments train this method too. Builds functional strength and such. As long as lifting 3 times a week and rest properly it is great.

>>36166339
Agreed.

>hating crossfit
tips fedora

>>36168713
You realize crossfitters use Ripetoes methods right? Fucking newb.

>>36166339
Considering fights between unskilled people are typically short and almost always the bigger and stronger person wins, no.

>>36168735
That's funny, last I checked Ripptoe was against bending over backwards to perform a lift.

Maybe I've been watching the wrong form videos.

Also, using noob as an argument?

Maybe next time you can attach a reaction image, I'm sure that'll strengthen your point.

>>36165325
Hurting oneself comes solely from a lack of attention to your own limits in this and any other form of training.

There is nothing wrong with cross-fit inherently. It's a volume program and a pretty good one for honing athletic ability (which has a lot of use in lifting outside of cross-fit too.

The real issue with crossfit is really how new it is. No one's really qualified to call themselves a fucking expert at it. It's not like powerlifting or weightlifting which have long established pedigrees and have been documented and studied scientifically.

The result is a lot of assholes get decently in shape enough to do a whole pile of stupid unrelated shit and then decide to pass on thier knowledge to others. And their knowledge is often wrong, frankly, and dangerous.

Someone who is already properly familiar with lifting form and safe practices can benefit from periodization involving crossfit. But it's not something that most people walk into a gym ready to do, or at a point of athletic development to really need it. The novice athlete actually benefits more from traditional strength training. Crossfit like activity would be better suited to blasting a plateau for a late stage intermediate.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

>>36168821
why dont they just do strength training and some HIIT?

My cuck boss does crossfit (literal cuck). I watch his exercises, theyre like circuit programs. When you circuit power cleans and snatches, you get shitty form.

I wont ever be sold on it, you can gain everything from crossfit by just doing a simple strength/oly program with HIIT on the side.

>>36168855
that's pretty much exactly what I said. There's nothing wrong with it, there's just so many better and more efficient ways to do what it does.

It essentially half asses everything.

Can confirm, I lift for hypertrophy/looks and get called a faggot all the time

>>36165072
not that I disagree, but 1pl8 is starting weight even for very weak people.

Complete opposite.

Not for the power clean and certainly not for the jerk.
