Why do so many people hate crossfit? >With it and a better

Its good when the instructors are good.

Because it is shit if you are interested in bodybuilding. Not really hating though because of course many people aren't into bodybuilding. It's that many crossfitters somehow think what they do is SUPERIOR to bodybuilding by default for some reason and are vocal about it. This is probably mostly the new people (same with beginners who only 'strength train' in the gym and talk about how 'bodybuilders are weak').

Thats what I am shooting for, lose weight.

anyone that talks bad about crossfit just wouldn't be able to handle my Tuesday WOD. facts.

you may try.

>increase exercise level
>burn more calories than you take in
>lose weight

That's the formula. Crossfit is not some magic bullet. It just got you working more.

>>39413149
Because their well-meant shortcuts designed to get people into the gym easily end up injuring those people

I know it isnt magic, but it also didnt hinder my weight loss. I do not see the negative in doing it, assuming you dont go in with retarded form.

>the weak should fear the strong

>>39413149
I have no problem with people using crossfit like you; a pretty good way to get in shape, get stronger, and lose weight that's more motivating than just going to a regular gym if you have a good coach. The reason people hate crossfit because it's specifically programmed for mediocrity across the different realms of fitness, then hardcore crossfitters act as though that cumulative mediocrity makes them elite athletes.

>You wanna get strong? Do powerlifting.
>You wanna get big? Do bodybuilding.
>You wanna be a better weightlifter? Do olympic lifting with a real coach.
>You wanna build endurance? Train for a marathon/half marathon/triathlon etc.
>You wanna be better at a sport? Play that sport.

>Better diet

All you had to say

It is just so damn expensive.
