CROSSFIT rant time...anyone see the report on OTL this morning? Clear evidence that crossfit is a damn JOKE. Im not attacking my friends who do it, but that piece was on the money. 300 minutes of instruction in two days makes you qualified enough to improperly teach Olympic lifts is a travesty. It took YEARS of training to perfect some of those lifts throughout my football career while being taught by trainers who had MASTERS degrees in their field from major universities. They interviewed the lead trainer of Crossfit and all he could say was that haters were jealous....seriously? My maxes at one point in my life from traditional exercise and recover lifting: Bench: 425 Squat: 535 Powerclean: 325 I am in NO WAY jealous of someone flopping around on a pull-up bar or improperly hang-snatching 95 pounds for time....and the fact that their argument is that it gets results quick can be explained simply because at the end of the day it is just exercise...so please crossfitter, if you think Im jealous, Id like to see you lineup as a Defensive Tackle against me and put your methodology to the test, because I promise youre not in as good of shape as you think, you will be getting slammed on your ass for time.....
