Thread: WTH Are They Thinking?

I have to agree with noarch here. I think people do it because it's a group type activity and people are scared to do things by themselves. Bodybuilding is not a group sport, you need to self motivate and constantly push the envelope. I train for self esteem, confidence, and to look like someone you don't want to fuck with! I'll let the cross-fitters see how many squat-thrusts they can do in a minute..... And I'll continue to be a bodybuilder!

I hate the term functional fitness, first off what are you doing that you need to be that functional most of these people have normal office jobs, and secondly navy seals are the most functional people around and all they do in buds is push-ups runs and sit-ups and log lifts but none of this deadlifts for time? I never understood

I can't stand crossfit to be honest , I really don't get it at all. Must be a community get together sort of thing kinda like elementary recess playing on a damn jungle gym.

I've seen some of the cross fit training like do as many clean and jerks you can do in a time frame or how many deadlifts in a minute. To me sounds like a good way to get injured. Lose good form on lifts that you need to perform with strict form just sounds bad to me. I don't know to each their own

The best atheltes I've known personally dont do crossfit, football basket ball players. They do alot of cardio and lift and practice their sports. Im terms of strength power lifter are most in shape and we sure as hell dont do crossfit. So as for functional strength I dont understand where that comes into play? Even help move my damn furniture I'm going ask a lifting buddy before a crossfitter lol.

My gym im at now has a little of everything but the big boy weghts and the cardio crossfit kinda stuff is seperated so we dont get in each others way.

I was at navy pier in Chicago earlier this year and didn't know what was up but kept seeing all of these people dressed for crossfit and come to find out that the crossfit Chicago regional was going on that same weekend. Well long story short I had taken little oz to the bathroom and my wife got concerned we weren't back so she grabs a guy coming out and asks if there is a line for the bathroom or something the man asks why and the wife says because my husband and little boy went in there like 15 minutes ago he then says you mean the dude with all the muscles and tattoos yeah they're waiting for a stall and he proceeds to tell my wife I'm one of the biggest guys he's seen in real life....take that crossfit LOL.

I play real sports I don't want to be the best at working out

Agreed to quote Kenny Powers from the show East Bound n Down " I play real sports Im not trying to be the best at exercising" that's what they seem to be doing being the best at exercising.
