SomedayCPA2015, I know right??

Brian, I doubt it could get ugly unless you throw some racial/cultural/political stuff in the fire. Crossfit topic doesn't sound that controversial

Has anyone tried Orange fitness Theory?

@CaseyTX – Tell us how you REALLY feel. 🙂

Two ex-CrossFit girls I spoke with that now attend my current gym told me they both suffered shoulder injuries from kipping. I joked how kipping looks like the person is having some sort of seizure while attempting a pull-up, and they both laughed at the idea. Kipping, to me, seems to be a way to get a whole lot of momentum built up just to accomplish higher reps of pull-ups, but you're striving to get those higher reps by severely stressing your shoulder muscles. It just doesn't make any sense to me personally. I mean, how else will one of these CrossFit members slam out 30 pull-ups, after carrying a live donkey on their backs for two miles over a path of broken glass and deadlifting a Honda Accord 100 times, if they can't get all that kipping momentum? <I'm teasing the CrossFit folks, people – all lighthearted>

I've never set foot inside a “box”, but I watch the CrossFit games on TV every now and then. All I know is the form I'm taught in my gym to do certain things looks nothing like the form I see on TV.

If crossfit was actually a good way to exercise then professionals and athletes would probably use it. But they don't. That in and of itself is a warning sign.

@Thrawn – that is a very KEY warning sign, indeed.

Crossfit is for the professional NON-athlete.

Crossfit focuses on using whatever form you can do something as fast as possible.

The people you see on TV sometimes are the 1% the majority end up hurt
