I think professional crossfiters that compete are some of the best athletes, but the dorks at the local gyms doing it are making a mockery out of the sport. When they say anyone can do it and then teach crap form and ridiculous exercised, they take credibility away from the ones at the top that busted their asses to be where they are. Some of the stuff the local trainers teach is unproductive and dangerous. They probably do it to get as many clients as possible and then try to hold on to them as long as they can by reassuring them that they are getting in better shape, but they really aren't progressing as much as they could if they did traditional proven exercises. Here is a video I found of crossfit dudes competing at the Arnold:

Im sorry but cross fit is one of the dumbest things ive seen in the gym... google kipping after you warmed up your pop corn

This guy always hilarious!

Ahh are you a fan of broscience too? Love that shit. Love the t-shirts too.

There are cross fitters on here and I'm warming up popcorn to see their reaction. I just don't like how every cross fitter I've ever met came down with nasty injuries like torn acls. One guy on here yore his Achilles for Christ sakes. Not fun.
