Here's the thing. It's NOT better then nothing. It's in fact worse.

The numerous injuries and completely FUCKED UP cult atmosphere around it proves how evil it is.

Would rather a fat chick become a cardio bunny who watches what she eats then get into that fucked up bullshit.

crossfit isn't a sport... it's a "way of life," or so they say.

That means if you say you "do crossfit" it implies a lot of things. It implies that you pay large amounts of money to belong to an exclusive fraternity of sorts. You are usually well-to-do, financially. You are passionate not only about fitness but also alternative medicine and other new-age bullshit like Kombucha and chiropractic treatment. You are against fat acceptance and believe that ordinary people should strive to push themselves like athletes. You're VERY exclusive...
>>
>>38726978
If you pay attention to it, you can easily see how it compares to an average cult.

I'm honestly not in the mood to point out how it suckers stupid bored or just plain lost in the world fuckers into it's fold and drains them dry while destroying their bodies.

But it's quite honestly easy to see.

I have a DYEL friend who recently just signed up for Crossfit.

On one hand I'm glad he's getting into fitness

On the other hand I don't want him to visit snap city

wat do
>>
>>38728698
also like in any true cult, the founders don't even do crossfit
>>
>>38728753
also I tried hard to steer toward our free (and huge) school gym but he insists on paying for crossfit

He's bought into the whole fad
>>
This is Crossfit.

Before you hate keep in mind he's the founder of Crossfit and is deadlifting amazing 460 (four hundred sixty) pounds.

There might be some truth to this. Of course there's enjoyment to be had in sports such as golf and cycling but they definately have some status attached to them because of how much goddamn money you can pour into the sports.

Lifting has always been a poor man's activity but expensive cross fit classes have finally caught the attention of the upper-middle and upper class.

>strong, well-balanced core for doing 4pl8 diddly
Your loss

>>38728813
Crossfit HQ really need to delete this and all the old shit on their channel promoting similar memery.
>>
>>38728843
They would first have to realize that something is wrong with it.
>>
>>38728827
That is a hgh gut nigga. No amount of lifting will give a natural woman a core like that.
>>
>>38725594
>doing so much damage that you can't recover from it by the next day
Found your problem, high frequency medium intensity/volume is literally the goatest way of training of them all

You can't do anything but make him talk.

Don't tell him your opinion on Crossfit thinking it'll convince him, don't show him any injury statistics thinking it'll convince him and don't show him articles displaying a stranger's opinion thinking it'll convince him.

Ask him questions and get him to talk about his reasoning as to WHY Crossfit is what he's doing. Ask him about his fitness goals, why his fitness goals are what they are and how Crossfit can help him get there. Try to wring out every little detail as to what made him decide to do what he's doing.

The only place you can inject your opinion is asking questions to confirm something like "It seems like you're trying to get in better shape for health reasons right?". Make sure to confirm pretty much every little detail for his logic and walk you through every little detail.

If you can't handle keeping your cool when your friend says shit you know is fucking wrong don't do this. It doesn't matter what he's wrong about, if his reasoning is stupid it's going to become apparent to him it is when he's explaining his dumbass logic or misinformation. You're just trying to get him to go over the details that make his decision seem questionable.but even then he might not think his reasoning is retarded.

You probably won't end up getting him to talk himself out of Crossfit (it's possible) but the best you could hope for is that when he's doing Crossfit he's actively thinking about why they're doing this dumb, dangerous looking shit.
>>
>>38728527
It's probably the ultimate irony that the kind of people who do CrossFit are also the kind of people likely to follow a diet that makes CrossFit even more dangerous than it alredy is.

>>38728698
The 'specialisation is for insects' thing particularly pisses me off, because they also claim to train 'like athletes.' Athletes who actually do sports train for extremely specific metabolic adaptations, so CrossFit is about as unlike to a real athlete's training as it's possible to get.

Exactly. Like golf, polo, sailing, etc. Part of the appeal of doing these things is to show that you can afford to do them
>>
>>38724136

Crossfit is not about lifting, is about being seen lifting. Is lifting for the social media generation.
>>
>>38724096

"We" don't.

The solution to the actual problem, which is you being this easily triggered by others receiving attention you feel entitled to because you think you're special, is to simply ignore everything that literally doesn't have a fucking thing to do with you and focus on yourself. You are the one the needs fixing.

Create a culture around a central authority, maybe a council of sorts, of people who know everything there is to know about lifting and can go into every imaginable detail on how to build muscle. It would need to be a bunch of muscular people as well so retards don't see what are essentially medical professionals and think "he ain't buff, he ain't know what he tombout. I truss a bodybuilda foh dem dumbass docta motha fuckas. Liff hahd, snoat creatine, eat a lotta meat. Das how you git big right der. Mah foobaw coach know betta."

Seriously, the common lifting dicktard's opinion of a man is almost entirely based on appearance. As such, we need figureheads who are both well-informed and jacked and strong as fuck, maybe some old mother fuckers with gravelly voices who say shit like "yer a fuckin pussy, that's what's wrong" or "I'll give you a fuckin reason to cry, you fuckin kid."

Wear a ski mask and beat the unholy FUCK out of him in a dark alley after every time he goes and fucks around at his crossfit fuckfuck party.

Also, make him read the sticky. In a dark alley, at gunpoint if necessary.
