Exactly, which is why I don't understand the "it's cool to dislike crossfit" attitude. | ||

Member 2906, 1 posts | The reason I did this was we have so many CrossFitters who are former college athletes who are in awesome shape at 100kg+ and they stand no chance against the guys at the games but could put on a damn good show when they are put against guys similar. There was a guy at the Games last year, I only know him as Big Del, hes 6'7" 275ish lbs and freaky strong and competes on a team, he went further alone then any team as a whole. Hes in the video at the 30 second mark. http://youtu.be/Z_RrVu3TQG8 | ||

 doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Mark said: Exactly, which is why I don't understand the "it's cool to dislike crossfit" attitude. It's the American way to make things bigger and louder - I think crossfit may be a bit too "shouty" for English ears ! Nothing wrong with people getting fitter and lifting in an organised competitive way There's a crossfit gym opened opposite my work - I would love to use the bumpers, chin and dip stations and the GHR - but I don't want to pay the prices, or join a class | ||
