Quoted:



Well I think you're cheating if you do deadhangs without added weight.

See how that works?

Sometime when there's pullups in workouts it's not for strength. You can do pullups with added weight for strength, but then if you have to do a whole bunch and you're trying to keep heart rate high because you're working on conditioning, it doesn't really make sense to do deadhangs now does it? No, you want to get them done quickly because you're not working on strength at that time, you're working on conditioning.

It's not that complicated.

Yeah, I'm sure kipping pull ups is for your heart rate. Lol, I love reading you cultist who focus on cheating exercise. And i don't care how good shape you are, keep doing fucked up pullups, you deserve all the scorn. Especially being a former Marine...

Another key difference between normal people and crossfitters. Normal people use porn to jerk off, crossfitters use videos of some roided out chick doing overly complicated exercises.

I know a couple who own a crossfit and they're douche bags. I hate most the humans walking around this planet but crossfit fuckers are their own breed of positive attitude types that make me sick.
If you take offense to what I've said cause you just love to flip tires over and over and over and over, then flip over some more tires.

They flip tires in strongman competitions too. That's not just a crossfit occult thing.

Look at those traps and shoulders...are we positive there isn't a weiner under those short shorts?

I've been doing it for a couple years.  I am not a Kool-Aid drinker, but I will say that I appreciate what I've gotten out of it:

- As has been mentioned, the team-building/tribe mentality helps sometimes.  There is some peer pressure to show up every day, when the people you work out with/compete with ask where you were when you skip a day.  I found it motivating to find someone who was a little better than me and try to beat them.  Not everyone feeds off of that, but if you like a little friendly rivalry, it works.

- Working out 4-5 days per week if you aren't already will definitely increase your fitness.  I cannot speak to other gyms, but the ones I've been to have scaled versions of workouts so that if you cannot safely do the standard version (maybe sets of 10 deadlifts at 225) then you can scale it down to what you can do and that is challenging (maybe you can do 200, or 150, or whatever).  I've seen fairly out of shape people join and really improve their fitness.  They aren't going to be greek gods, but they are healthier.

- One thing I don't like about it, but kind of goes with the program, is that you never train often enough on any particular lift to get really good at it.  For instance, one might do snatches one day, and might not be required to do them again for a week or two.  That does not really promote sound technique.  Once you get to a certain level of fitness, you kind of plateau if you only do the standard workouts.  I've moved on to working more during the open gym times and focusing more on deadlifts, bench, overhead press, and back squats.  I try to work those lifts 2-3 times per week so that I can get better at them.  I wouldn't be as good as I am in those lifts if I only did them when the workouts called for them.  I still do the workouts, but not as often and if it's something bordering on unsafe for me (stepping up on a box with a weighted barbell didn't appeal to me) I just don't do it, or scale it to something I can do safely.  

I had my ACL reconstructed about 15 months ago, and am lifting more than I ever have.  I have mobility and strength back in my knee, and am not concerned about it anymore.  I rehabbed doing crossfit.  Box jumps scaled down to jumping on plates and slowly building up.  lifting lighter weights until I felt I could trust my knee.  Running, lunges, squats, burpees, etc.  All that stuff helped me build confidence in my knee, so that I was no longer afraid of reinjuring it.  Can you do the same stuff elsewhere?  Sure.  Crossfit isn't the be-all end-all of workouts.  But I also don't think it's such a bad thing as some might say it is.

You have to realize something man.  A woman like her or any woman who is even a little muscular or fit represents a threat to most men's masculinity.    Most men view women as something that should be "soft"  "feminine" which to me is just another way of saying easily controlled and dominated.     If a woman appears "strong" through a fit body then it gives off the vibe that she is probably strong "mentally" also.   Most men by their very nature like "docile" women.    Its that simple.   I'm a hardcore lifter.  I weigh 280 and squat and deadlift over 600lbs.    So fit chicks to me are just fine.  Can a woman take it too far?  Of course.  But that's only when drugs get involved.

Most men don't like women with artificial testosterone coursing through their veins, who need to shave their beards more than their legs, who have clits bigger than your dick.
