CrossFit is the Gateway Drug to Powerlifting/Olympic Weightlifting. I cant exactly put my finger on why. CF introduces many people to the slow and fast lifts. Many find them challenging and enjoy their physical benefits. Some fear doing them in class; some get minor/major injuries and never want to do them again. But there comes a point when some decide that they really want to develop and refine the technique in their lifts, and once they do, once they see the effect that efficient mechanics can have on a barbell - they really begin to enjoy practicing them. They enjoy seeing consistent progress and refinement. Stealing a line from Daniel Pinks Book Drive (an interesting write up on what actually motivates people) it all comes down to autonomy, mastery and purpose....and I think that some people find those things in these movements. #ormaybeimjustoverthinkingit
