The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

i just like crossfitter in general, every single one i met are cool, no assholes. could be because im bigger than all of them but still.

 

I don't mind crossfitters, but crossfit isn't for me, I'd rather spend money on the equipment and workout with my trainer than pay for a membership.

 

you don't have to pay that much really, just write down the workout, go to your local oly or PL gym and do whatever, too bad im too invested in PLing otherwise i'd try Xfit

 

True, but my current trainer is free and she supplies any equipment we need, we also do some Xfit style workouts.

 

Crossfit mainly gets hated on because of the online circle jerk, not because of people's actual experience with crossfitters

Because of those vids of the shitty boxes

 

I only come across the 'fight club cross fitters' who never shut the fuck up about it and think it's god's gift to the world.

I love you, too buddy

^^^this. Aside from the cultists, the promotion by some of time over form, the silly exercises, and the folks who think traditional lifting is subpar, they're not a bad group of folks lol.

Eric ?!?!

 

Ha!

 

there are problems with crossfit but there is with everything. the big ones i find are

up until now coaching certs where questionable. dont get me wrong its a really great course but i think it shouldn't be allowed to be taken unless a cpt is a prerequisite.

facebook crossfiters...need i say more

interpretation that speed is better than form; by some people

reebok and corporate crossfit have been getting worse

positives:

community, very welcoming and supportive

good coaches are some of the best knowledge trainers iv ever met, just watch some of crossfits youtube videos on there channel

the programing will give you results


lastly the cost...people think its crazy expensive average is around 150 if you came 20 times a month that only comes down to less than 8 dollars a session...i charge my personal training clients 65 for the same amount of time...i think 1 on 1 training is dying because the price of group training is so much better, you get to do it with friends/support and you get almost the same coaching, most "good gyms" will have 2 coaches for a class of 3-15 which is pretty good.

and personally i respect bodybuilders but id never want to look like that. the Crossfit games athletes though no homo i would gladly take a build like that with the strength numbers, and cardio/gymnastic skill they have haha they were talking about guys last night who have hit a 500pound back squat and sub 5 minute mile in the same day! fucking nuts haha

 

Agree with all of that. Although, I do traditional weight-lifting, I'm not in pursuit of a bodybuilding-type body. I'm all about aesthetics, baby!

But like you said, there are idiots in every sport. There's some fuckers at my gym I wouldn't mind throat-punching.

 

I would never wanna look like this:



Steve Cook's look is more of what I'm going for:



And of course, we can't leave out the king of the #aestheticscrew, Zyzz:





Alright, now to make it less-gay up in here:

 

In other news
