its watever, i can see why people would joke on certain moves, kipping being one of them, but it has improved my strength and if i wanted to bust out 100 dead hang pullups, i probably can in 5-7 minutes.

Thats one of the reasons that Crossfit gets such a bad rap. They have you doing all of this crazy stuff that is dangerous and bad for your back/knees/etc.

I respect crossfitters.
The comradary, emphasis on compound/full body exercises, and competion aspects are very appealing to me.
There is one in my area, I'm just not down with paying $150 per month to work out.
So I'll just continue to do what I do for $35

its only dangerous when you go and load weight you cant handle...at the gym you see dudes with 3-5 plates doing the most ridiculous squats, in a crossfit class you wont be allowed to load anything you cant do while compromising correct form and an injury, well at least a good box with good coaches..

You don't have to go to the gym and pay to do Crossfit though. The workout of the day can always be found online.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just like Martial Arts or anything else fitness related, you have to shop around for the best gym and instructors.

any of you guys use a Blender Ball shaker? I'm using one, but I'm looking for one with some extra compartments for protein mix.

1000% believable. It's all in the context, esp on the net. Good sh*t man. I'm slowly working my way back up there squatting. Almost exactly a year out from back surgery so it's slow but I'm just glad I'm able to lift again.

i max out OVH squats 3 reps at 105, the biggest guys in my class are not doing more than 225lbs and no more than 3-5 reps and these are ex college football players....when we do WODS like today which was a total of 100 push presses, we dont load our max, we do 50% of our 3 rep max, which we should be able to do without a problem, while still getting the burn.

dont knock it til you try it. i go to a crossfit class about once a month and its definitley something worthy of throwing into your routine. i especially like the whole competition aspect of it. i try to get better every time i go

thats true, but i wouldnt recommend experimenting on your own, id recommend at least going for a month, getting coached and then if you must go on your own...

Black coffee.
Not trying to be anti supp, but beyond that, I don't really believe in preworkouts. Probably in the minority.

if you want energy, eat before the gym or drink a cup or two of coffee during the day

They have a class on Wednesday night and one on Saturday that are free intro classes, chek their website and make sure, stop by and let them show you what it's all about...classes are getting huge, the last couple f days, the 12pm class has been stacked
Everyone starts off at their own pace bro, if you can't do a hang pull up, use the bands till you build the strength to do it on your own, we always do 10 pull-ups during our warm up, everyday.

for every person doing a kipping pullup at a crossfit box, you can find 10x more people doing weak pullups at your local 24 barely breaking 90 degrees going down

If it was only that easy, have you ever tried to properly go through that motion yourself?
