Reminder that no one in that picture actually does crossfit to prepare for the contest

quite fit, without doing any meme crossfit shit at all
just go for a run as well as going to the gym

Ive been doing crossfit for 8months, its really fun, good workout, I suposse, but to progress you need to do strenght workout at the gym, since I started I have lost some strenght, now im back in the gym + crossfit.

Everyone who does crossfit burns out in 6-9 months and does some dedicated strength lifting, makes real gains, and stops paying 150 a month for garbage coaching

They do, they just tend to all have home gyms and do 3-4 workouts per day instead of 1.

>working out in home gym
>crossfit

I don't think you understand how this works

They do Clarence style Olympic lifting in the morning along with whatever gymnastic work they have to do and aerobic/anaerobic base building in the afternoon. They don't actually start doing crossfit style workouts until like 2 months before the contest, purely for conditioning.

All the workouts you see online are from their final phase so crossfags read them and think "hey, I'm doing the same training as Rich Froning, he just does more"

Dunno whats more obnoxious, the crossfit community or the anticrossfit community

I don't think anyone is saying crossfit workouts aren't challenging, it's just the culture that's surrounding it is meme tier cringeworthy shit. I'm in very good overall shape and crossfit workouts still break me off if I give it my all.

Being a "big dude" isn't really gonna help you with crossfit though, maybe consider losing some weight OP instead of being a fat powerlifter who gets BTFOed by crossfit moms

I did MURPH once for shits and giggles, that thing where you run a mile, you do pull ups, pushups, squats and run a mile.

Done it for 3+ years. Go 3x a week, pay $88 a month.

About 6 months in got serious about eating right and lost 30# while only putting in 4-ish hours a week of doing CrossFit stuff. Fairly active with other activities besides. It's worked out pretty well for me, but I guess I'm not your typical CrossFit person. I'm pretty serious about perfect form over gains. I'm pretty lucky in that I have a good gym with coaches having multiple certifications, serious about good lifting, etc.

Heard the horror stories, though.

lol this

It's a sport. You train for your sport and then you compete. Every crossfitter who just does the wods isn't even a crossfitter. It's like claiming to play baseball when you only go to a batting cage.

>training to get better at working out

"Crossfit" is just a fucking brand name/company that incorporates (often incorrectly) AS MUCH as they fucking can into their scope of practice. Which is phenomenal in theory, but as we all have seen, frequently terrible in practice.
Plyometrics, olympic-style lifting, gymnastics, bodybuilding routines, and cardio are all fucking great. Do them all and don't go to a "Crossfit box"
It's the image and culture they are selling, they don't have a grip on the different exercises they do.

That all being said, if the community appeals to you and you have money to throw at it, I think crossfit CAN be great for people who are aware of their own bodies/joints/muscles/ROM. The reason Crossfit gets so many one-way-fast-track-to-snap-city tickets is because people who have never lifted more than a stapler from Susan's desk think "that looks fun!" and the coaches say "your money is as good as anyone else's!" without giving them adequate training.

tl;dr fuck "Crossfit" do a wide variety of training
