The problem with crossfit is not the fact they advocate "going all out", training to failure, trying to do x number of things in shorter and shorter amounts of time, etc. All that can be great for conditioning. The problem comes from the fact additional resistance is used and when fatigue sets in, form inevitable breaks down which just adds unnecessary risk to otherwise safe exercises.

When people do something very technical like Oly lifts and try progressing in terms of "reps done in the best time possible", shit hits the roof.
Rhabdomyolysis.

Crossshit fags will argue it's SO rare yet it's MORE COMMON in Crosspricks.

Damn, why do i keep typing Crossprick wrong.

Just as long as your form is correct when doing any exercise, it will be alright. Simply flinging around will get you injured, which most amateur crossfitters do (then boasting about it, thats how it get a bad reputation).

That's the crux of the matter. Form -will- break down as fatigue sets in, no matter how strong you are. As I said, the risk in trying to complete exercises with external resistance in shorter amounts of time outweighs any potential benefit. All that potential gain is worth jack shit once an injury sets in.

Crossfit doesn't advovate good form. Sure, the trainer will say so but then when they do deads, it's all cat like........

Rushing technical lifts for time = recipe for disaster.

I do agree that form breakdown is common in crossfit especially during competition. But accusing ALL of them having bad form in lifting isn't necessary at all. I do know some crossfitter that did powerlifting as well and their form and weight lifted is better than most of us.

Why generalize crossfit is bad just because of all that trolling made? I'm not defending crossfit but I just don't like bringing others down because of certain thing we saw on net.
