    I dislike crossfit.
    A bit fad.
    Muscleups have been a goal of mine for a while, depending on where you do them they are easier on the pull and harder on the press and vica versa.

    Nice stuff.

    I'm not sure I'd go along with their idea of doing one exercise per day, that seems a bit strange. It obviously works and all that, but I'd rather just read their stuff and add the better bits to my own routine.

    yeah I used to follow crossfit to a T for a little while (meaning I did the WOD every day as indicated). I still use some of my favorite crossfit workouts, but I don't follow the WOD anymore.

    How long for? How would you rate it as a system?

    The thing with crossfit is, it doesn't really develop anything in particular.
    You shouldn't follow it to a T.

    It won't get you massively strong, or massively conditioned, or massively quick. It will develop everything a bit, but you should adapt its style and make your own for training your own ends.

    And ginger people cant do crossfit btw.

    I do not want to excel in one aspect of physical fitness. I do agree that you should find your own balance and cross train the way it suits you instead of following their workouts.

    That's the point. Crossfit is all about functionality, it's not aimed at one particular group of people. The only thing I use it for is conditioning because it's so varied.

    When it comes to one-armed pullups and pistol squats, this ginger person definitely can't do it.

    Virus - to you its conditioning because you are primarily a weight guy, not a boxer?

    For a boxer there are better things for him to do for general endurance and conditioning, but also better for strength. Separately, is my point.

    Weight guy and martial artist. Crossfit helps a LOT.

    The thing is people seem to be scared to even try Crossfit for just a month to see how it works for them.

    Oh no doubt it helps, I'm just saying it's decent at everything and master at nothing.

    Good to get people doing something good though.
