    The Conversation That Has To Be Had About Crossfit

    Posted on January 16, 2014 by jonoprecel
    For years, the wider fitness industry has warned people of the dangers of Crossfit, and now an injury nobody would wish on anyone has occurred.
    Kevin Ogar, a Crossfit trainer in Englewood, Colorado, was performing a 3 Rep Max Snatch when he lost control of the bar overhead.
    He was unable to get out of way in time, resulting in the bar damaging his T11 and T12 vertebrae, and severing his spinal cord.

    Kevin currently has no feeling below his waist.
    Weightlifting is dangerous. Whether it is Power lifting, Bodybuilding or Olympic lifting is irrelevant. There have been life-changing injuries in all of these sports, as well as deaths.
    Crossfit is no different. One trainer even publicly came out, stating that clients should expect to get injured… it’s Crossfit.

    That situation highlights exactly why crossfit is stupid. YEARS ago when I was a personal trainer I used to lecture people about the potential for that type of injury happening with crossfit and oddly enough I always used Olympic lifts as an example. It's super irresponsible to have some soccer mom throwing weight around on an Olympic lift on a random Wednesday when they haven't worked fairly extensively on the proper form with someone who is qualified to teach it.

    it's still es' fault imho. The reason most guys wanna be stout is because they want to impress them es. Some guys even use steroids to help them gain muscles, which also has the potential to do harm to their health. Just like I said, es are the source of all evils tbh, and that's why I categorized Johansson as "Goddess". Goddess is not a mortal human to begin with, so when I'm talking about those creatures walking on two legs without a in between, our Goddess is automatically exempted.

    Yep, good post..

    I don't have a problem with Crossfit, I've taken many workouts that I've learned from my friends that do it and implemented them in my own programs/circuits, but I completely agree with your point..it's also disturbing how Crossfit has become a cult-like movement..

    I have a friend that owns a Crossfit-based gym and he's made more money than he dreamed of in the past 2 years, tbh..

    I hate when the excuse to join Crossfit is "ya, well, I like how they give you the routine and tell you what to do", when it takes minimal research to make your own effective circuit and hit the same muscles with less risk of injury..a lifter that has been doing it for 20 years doesn't require the same as a young woman..

    And ya, the rebuttal is usually "but Crossfit makes you so fit", well ya, it's obviously very effective, but so is any other properly planned workout program, tbh..

    I can't entirely hate on any fad that gets women to work out, though, tbh..

    Part of the reason females peak at 16-21 is because they get fat from the college-age bulk and develop lazy habits, and by the time they hit their 20s, it's too late for them, tbh..so it's good to get some of them workout out regularly, tbh..

    If you're going to spend $1600 a year to go to the gym then I reserve the right to laugh at you when you bust your ass trying to do a pull up, lifting 3 times your weight two weeks into your membership or anything else that happens in that gym.

    "One trainer even publicly came out, stating that clients should expect to get injured… it’s Crossfit."


    Take a bunch of people who have never consistently lifted and have them do power cleans and deadlifts as fast as they can. What could go wrong...

    agree, sturdy es are just as gross as those with ultra-big asses tbh. Some es can be sexy as while doing workouts though, especially when their shorts and sports bras are soaked with their sweat tbh

    Meh it was God's will. He's putting that person through a trial. He'll never put more on your plate than you can handle. For example, those teachers and kids that were shot to death at Sandy Hook... God was all over that. He was testing those teachers and those kids using his angel of death.

    Just looked at TBC Cross Fit in the Castle Hills area, it's $165 a month. And that is pretty similar across the board. I think 210 is about the same as well. I looked into it about this time last year and was appalled. However, WODs can be found on the Crossfit website and you can set up your own gym at home which would lower the cost, but would decrease the douchy appeal of actually doing Cross Fit.

    And muscly girls wig me out. Like why. But to each their own, I guess (and I've run 4 half marathons so let's not say I don't know what I'm talking about).
