Your knee is still bending

Cross fit is the most retarded thing i've ever seen.

>>41612500
>bending your knee 300 times
>after running a mile, where it bends god knows how many times
>oh and then run another mile
and here I thought tradesmen complained about their knees
a few months doing this dumb ass pointless "murph" shit will destroy any cartilage left in your knees

>>41612552
It's literally done once a year on Memorial Day. It's also considered one of the most intense workouts done at crossfit.

>>41612532
they are doing like 25 sets of 4 reps or so. But yeah, it's retarded

>>41612468
Skeleton here. 100 pullups sounds fucking impossible.

>>41612586
Just do crossfit pull-ups. They are way fucking easier, although a hundred of them sounds hard as fuck still.

oh those good old crossfit "pullups"

>>41612615
Can you do a hundred of them? Kipping pull-ups are much easier than strict pull-ups, however at the volume normally required for many crossfit workouts it would be impossible to do strict pull-ups.

Is 300 air squats supposed to be impressive?

>>41612468

I saw some reddit user post about this today. Never heard of it then hear of it twice in one day.

It looks really easy.. or am I underestimating it?

>>41612658
Then why don't they just lower the volume?

>Can you run 50 mph? Driving is way easier, but the speed required for many crossfit workouts, it would be impossible to run that fast

>>41612468
That would take me all day -- if I could do it at all.

>>41612787
It's really fucking hard. Try it.

>>41612935

I might do. Tomorrow is a rest day so I'll give it a go.
Scared of looking like a fag doing bw squats tho lol

>>41612818
>Then why don't they just lower the volume?
if they lower the volume/weight of anything they did so they could actually do it right, it wouldn't sound impressive
they like bragging about how they did all this murph shit even though their mile times were terrible, their squats were quarter depth at best, their pushups were quarter depth too, and their pullups were all kips
no one cares when you say
>yea I did 10 pullups and 30 pushups and 70 air squats
wow good job, how's middle school PE going?

>>41612658
its like saying i can do 500 squats, but all of them are like a 10 degree bend.

Its useless. Just do 100 real one, ass to grass, because it would be studip not to.

Fucking retarded. Why not just do them weighted and bench instead of push-ups? Much more efficent

>>41612571

>crossfit pull-ups
what the fuck is that?

>>41614136
Kipping pull-ups. Basically everyone at crossfit knows it isn't a strength based lift like a strict pull-up, it's considered a gymnastics move. You use the momentum of your body to do the pull-up. They are easier by far, but 100 of them is a pain in the ass, if for no other reason than it kills your grip strength.

>>41614075
>Because it's fun and good cardio?

to each their own I guess

Can anyone please tell me why people hate on crossfit? I mean this looks like a good workout IMO, do people discredit it just because it's crossfit?

>>41614169
ooohhh... that's that retarded thing skellies in my gym are trying to do... but they just oscillate, can't do even one pull-up

I did murph today and I did 43 strict pull-ups. Said fuck it and kipper the rest. I honestly don't feel like it lessened the workout I got. My shoulders were smoked after the 43 and the final 57 killing were really tough as well.

The 300 air squats was probably the worst.

>>41612468
You wear a weighted vest ?

>>41614343
>Can anyone please tell me why people hate on crossfit?
jack of all trades master of none tier

you do a little weight lifting, usually at stupidly high volume and in sequence with other things so it's hard to maintain form without constantly lowering the weight. Which they don't do because they try to do everything fast. So it's pretty cardio heavy, but not as much as just going for a long run(s).
you do a little of everything, usually poorly because you are tiered, don't have time to constantly take off weight on bars, and everything must be done quick and as many times as possible.

A perfect recipe to get hurt doing dumb inefficient shit for the sake of being able to say "I pay 150$ a month to go to a crossfit gym to maintain this decent looking body".

>>41614511
No. I don't have a plate carrier and my gym only had 2 vest :(

>>41614500
thatsthejoke

>>41614524
You sound like someone who has never actually been to crossfit. I have never done a workout involving 2 lifts in one WOD. It will be lifts in conjunction with other shit but never two lifts at once. And hats why you pick a weight you can handle through out the workout so your form isn't shit. I can power clean 225 and I have done workouts with a mere 95 pounds in the bar, because 80 cleans is a lot of fucning reps. Sure it isn't the best for getting stronger but I am just trying to become ottermode and it's done an excellent job at that.

>>41612468
Stop it Ian

>>41614030

Nah mate, I rather go for a quick jog and do some pushups to connect with his warrior spirit bro.

>>41614464
No it's just the "murph" that's CrossFit, not the exercises. It's a big CrossFit event every year and is hailed as one of the hardest CrossFit gauntlets to complete.

>>41614464

>doing basic compound exercises in sequence is "powerlifting"


lad

I was really surprised that the (((MURPH))) took this long to have its own thread. For a minute I thought it wouldnt be posted about at all, for that minute I had a glimmer of hope for this board.

>>41614667
>spotted the pussy who cant handle murph

I bet you were in the band in high school.

>>41614343
It's dumb because they all regularly attempt high weight lifts with injury inducing form. In 90% of CrossFit events the judges don't give a fuck about their form so CrossFit is the home of hitching a deadlift. It's also just a giant marketing lifestyle they sell, it costs upwards of 100 bucks a month to train in a "CrossFit gym".

On the other side of the spectrum if they aren't attempting maximal Olympic lifts with garbage form, they're doing stupidly large volume for irrelevant weight. All of their events are the perfect recipes for injuries, I don't know how to structure an event better to injure yourself than to copy a CrossFit event. Every event is filled with every competitor on tons of steroids doing bodyweight lifts, cardio, and cringe inducing heavy lifts. What's a single thing to like about CrossFit?

>>41614711
cardio bunnies

also the membership is high because you are paying for 2 trainers to help coach a class of 10 people (at least thats true at my gym.)

I have also been going to crossfit 5 times a week with my wife for the past 15 months and neither of us has had an injury.

I never got the "sore knee" meme. My Dad has bad knees, but that's because he was malnourished as a child and walked with shit posture in shit shoes/ kneeling on cold hard surfaces for hours etc. The only other people I know who complain that exercise hurts their knees are either fat fucks or likewise malnourished. After years of hiking, running, cycling and jumping from retarded heights the only thing that gives me grief are my busted peroneal tendons in my ankles from time to time (mountain climbing sprains).

But then, I've eaten well and exercised decently my whole life (bar early 20's) and I'm only turning 30 next month, so what the fuck do I know? Gonna try this shit out, God help me on the pullups...

>>41616786
Fronin does a WOD like 6 days a week.

Finished it in 43:11 minutes today wearing a flak jacket with front and back SAPI plates. It's really not that hard I don't know why crossfit fags bust nuts over it.

And to those of you ITT saying doing this once will destroy your knees...nah bruh, ruck running 10 miles a day will destroy your knees, a murph is babbys first running under weight

>>41617293
he does about 2-3 wods a day plus a dedicated strength training session

>>41617293
What you're referring to are MetCons which he does in the evening at a low intensity (Load)

He's also running strength cycles at the same time to get stronger.

Quick read: https://thestrengthnetwork.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/crossfit-and-programming-within-the-sport/

>>41617413
metcons are basically WODs. At my crossfit we do 20 minutes of strength a day and 15-30 minutes of Metcons/WODs a day.

>>41617430
No, WOD means workout of the day and it includes everything. From Strength work to conditioning, mobility and prep.

>>41617443
If thats the case then my Crossfit only does WODs like once a month. Very rarely do we have 30+ minute workout that are a mix of everything.

>>41617451
What I was saying is that WOD is any sort of training. However from a competitive POV I'd say a multi-element WOD is the way to go, working on strength or skill then following it up with conditioning.
Your gym's programming sounds very single element-esque. Reminds me of this box I went to in France, trained there for five days, all they were doing was conditioning and the head coach was an anti strength progression dumbfuck. No wonder he failed miserably at the Open and at every local competition he tried. Can't win anything with a sub-3pl8 clean.

>>41617627
But we have a strength portion every day. every week you can guarentee a 15-20 minute portion dedicated to one of the following

>cleans
>Squats
>Bench
>Dead lift
>some random lift (snatch, OHP, OHS)

We always have a strength element. Normally with low reps high weight (5x5 or 5,4,3,2,1). Our metcons are high reps low weight.

>>41614510
So is algebra
But fuck algebra

>>41617659
Okay I see.

My programming on a daily basis looks like:

>General Mobility
>Specific prep work (Basically core activation, quads, shoulders, posterior chain etc)
>Strength (Powerlifts or Oly lifts) or Gymnastics skill (Currently working on my Iron Cross progression) But never both on the same session
>Conditioning, Couplets/Triplets/Chippers/Long distance/AMRAPs or EMOMs

Everybody keeps saying body weight, this is supposed to be done in plates

>>41616951
ya its almost like different people's bodies are different

Don't own a vest, first year doing it, did it in 53:00. Tore some spots open on my right hand, but I was impressed with myself for finishing

>>41617693
True, but plates is a far cry from doing 225lb squats.

>>41617798
Why? It's literally a child's workout. It's nothing special.

>>41617870
Crossfitfags do it while dragging a tractor tire and sea bass on each foot instead of shoes.

>>41617906
desu seeing the fashion in which it should be done with no rests and shit. I wasn't surprised that some of them started fainting during the 2015 games under the heat.

>>41617870
I guess it isn't enough to just feel good for accomplishing something is it

>>41617921
Why would anyone feel good about doing something so mundane? It's like getting a participation award it's so simple

>>41618011
regardless of how mundane you think it is, or how big of a meme crossfit might be, there are people who are less fit then you, and to those people it's a feeling of accomplishment to them that can push them to getting in shape

>>41616951

>>41612468
That seems pretty easy.

The only hard thing would be the pull ups because youll be tired around 30 and start doing sets of 3 or 5.
Push ups are easy literally 8 sets of 25
Bw squats are a joke. I can bust out 50 in less than a min probably maybe even more
Again miles are easy as fuck if youre not a fatass or "muh bulk"

I think a 1 mile hike with a ruck for every soldier you know that has served or how many in your community that has served would be better.

Used to be able to do 50 pulls ups and masturbate 11 times a day when i was a teen.

Can barely do 25 pull ups and wanna sleep after 1 fap now a days.
