The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

To each their own. Not pushing shit down peoples throats. Some people swear by crossfit, some hate it.

I see results best with a hybrid style routine. And I'll continue advocating crossfit.

 

Best thing about CF is that it's gotten a lot of people into the gym to exercise that might not because the traditional gym doesn't work for them--a lot like the marathon/century training Leukemia & Lymphoma's Team in Training does--people go because there's a good support group.

 

By no means am I against CF until "that guy" has to voice his dictation that it is a be all end all style of fitness. It has indeed gotten a lot of people into working out and has been a great success but it is still not compatible with everyone so therefore should not be so aggressively recommended. Crossfit is a lot like owning a Jeep. They have their own crew and it is something not everyone will ever understand.

 

My issue with crossfit is that most of the time crossfit fanatics say and believe things about health and exercises that are completely wrong.

And will then argue with me until they are blue in the face. And make me pull out the dickhead card and tell them what my degrees are and that I used to run a human performance lab. After which they still tell me I'm wrong.

It is a good thing that it's helping get more people interested in fitness. But I think it's a fad just like aerobics and tae bo.

I guess time will tell..

 

and whats wrong with watching t.v.? I love watching guys on the tube exercise while I rest on my glutes.

 

I don't think he's bashing TW CF guys specifically as in more of a general basis. Sadly if a small group makes the whole look bad they all get ridiculed. In my experience with CF participants they typically talk about the topic like they are better than everyone else. but agreed /topic

 

I don't own a tv

 

Hey not trying to interrupt the conversation and I've posted on this thread before but just curious how much eveyones crossfit is per month. I was thinking it would be good to get cut before a marriage or something like that but I talked to my roomates and there's is retarded expensive. Like $130 a month. For that price I'd rather train at an mma gym. Just lookin for estimate of what is reasonable.

 

Holy crap! $130 a month?!?! You pay state taxes right? Go to a park, bring a kettle bell, and use that bad boy to fulfill all that tax money you put towards that park. PT is free.

 

Lol good thinking but yeah that's the going rate I guess if you're not a student. I'm not made of money so I can't afford that.

 

Yeah 85 is better but still seems pretty steep. I just don't understand why it's so expensive

 

Thanks for that I did a stir fry with some chicken stock and it was 10048584 times better. It made the entire meal more enjoyable, I'm going to pick up some veggie, chicken, and maybe some beef stock tomorrow when I go shopping and cook my week of meals. Does anybody have any other suggestions on diet? Also someone told me that I ought to add oatmeal to my protein shakes for a complex carb load up post work out any validity to this?

 

Jaw surgery!!!! yikes man thats probably gonna suck. Unless you just mean getting your wisdom teeth pulled

 

Dang that's some intense s*#~. You'll probably have to learn how to chew again with things being rearranged. Good luck man
