Ive only worked out for a year in my life and that was with crossfit. I have a 62inch jump both feet planted and trained two a days with my highschool football team for a week and it was sooo easy
The misconceptions about CrossFit expressed here are hilarious. CrossFit is not about training for a specific sport. It's about developing all-around, functional fitness for life. This makes it an ideal companion regimen for any athlete who focuses on a specific sport. Overall performances goes up when CrossFit is added to the mix. This video shows the superior stamina and endurance that CrossFit workouts bring. Any athlete can benefit from adding CrossFit to their training regimen.
@greasemonkey1228 I am a fighter, and have great stamina, been known to hang with elite pro fighters...but when I started crossfit it was a humbling experience...i have been for a month, and I am gaining strength whithin leaps and bounds...my core has gotten about 10 times stronger, and all my back pain is gone...most people that talk smack either don't do it, or if they did cheated themselves into thinking they were actually pushing themselves.
Oh and btw. I am not a pencil neck either. 5'9" 210 pds 10% bf(legit). Bench 315 x 3, deadlift 425, back squat 405 beyond parallel(legit). CF is not the end all be...just ANOTHER training program to incorporate into powerlifting, running, strength training. FYI BJ Penn, GSP do it and they are pretty much the baddest mofo's from an MMA standpoint. Ever hear of Crossfit Football...Yeah it is widely accepted training program for skilled position. Try it or until then STFU!!!
CF football? CF for fighters? CF for average Joe? Football player has different goals and needs than a fighter, yet you'd gladly say CF is for both? That's the problem I have with CF: it doesn't mean anything.
In many cases it becomes "conditioning geared towards a certain goal" at which point there's no reason to call it CF.
From athletic standpoint: CF = preparing to succeed in an event like CF Games. If that matches your goals then go for it.
it makes me laugh when I read about all the bodybuilders who knock crossfit. These are the same ass clowns that expend 30-45 secs and then rest 2 minutes between sets. CF is used to crosstrain your body for sport and activity. Bodybuilding workouts train you for...oh yeah to look good at the beach. I have a ton of friends that do exclusive bodybuilding workouts and could not make it through one CF workout. I have done it all(boxing, MMA, bodybuilding, CF) and CF is the hardest thing out there.
I cant believe what Crossfit has done.They just created the worst movement ever.Educated statement, Watching this Video proves tha we as a society have really Distant ourselves from HUMAN FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS: Yet Crossfit teaches,Annihilation instead of Stimulation,They focus on Structure! rather than FUNCTION,Crossfit people workout rather than PRACTICE,They have TRAINERS rahter that TEACHERS,They Isolate rather than Integrate "properly" Then we wonder why Injuries occur! many flaws in video!!
@MITO64KICK Highly disagree..you must be a personal trainer...and losing business because of crossfit. From what I have seen crossfit produces higher results than any personal trained person I know...Personal trainers are extremely overpriced and people are getting smarter about how they implement their fitness, instead of paying a personal trainer thousands of dollars. I made the mistake of paying a personal trainer, and found out really fast that I pushed myself harder.
Alot of people think that the exercise routines that makes you the most exhausted is also the best one. This is only true if your goal is to lose weight and endurance. If you want to be stronger, faster, more explosive, more agile, better coordination, then crossfit is not the best option. Crossfitters think they are "elite" because they spend half an hour 5 times a week on exercise. The best athletes train strength, speed, agility and coordination seperately.
.........an obvious picture of why crossfit will never produce a weightlifting or powerlifting champion. or a <11second 100m sprinter...or NFL player...or baseball....or NBA.....or rugby,soccer,tennis,rowing champion. produce rhabdomyolysis though...
So what, you have just taken some "fighters" who are as weak as malnourished kittens and have then gone to to prove the point of how wonderful Crossfit must be because "fighters" regard the wkt as gruesome. I know fighters who can power clean 315lbs at 200lbs, more than anyone at Crossfit can do, and will easily destroy any CF's times. Next time try and pick some real "fighters" and not some pencil necks who can barely front squat 95lbs.
is there any chance to tell me the routine, i mean which exercises they did, how many raps, and how long was the break it between the sets? ANd one more thing: how long did they do the "calorie rows" 21 pulls???
Did this yesterday but subbed out the rows as we don't have a rowing machine at my gym for cleans. Finished in 48:36. Obviously the cleans instead of the rowing will speed up the exercise...damn, this one humbles you quite quickly. Absolutely exhausting and it is the closest to puking I have been in a while. I can usually wring out my shirt after from all the sweat, but it was just disgusting this time!!!
I think its ignorant to say that the fighters are not as in good shape. As many of you may know, the muscles in the body adapt and over time the same workout is easier for you because the muscles have adapted to THAT WORKOUT REGIMEN. If you put the cross fit people to spar/fight for 10-12 rounds, they're going to be gassed out half way because their muscles haven't adapted to that type of training (fighting/sparring)
@achillesbeast spot-on. this is the problem with the crossfit "be prepared for anything" methodology: adaptation is stress-specific, i.e., you adapt to what you do. doing a bunch of random workouts every day doesn't do anything except prepare you FOR THOSE WORKOUTS. @fitters would see better carryover if they spent more time training strength (which carries over into almost everything) and less time worrying about their fran times (no one gives a shit about that if your max squat is only 200)
@achillesbeast I think it's ignorant that you even made that statement...."I think its ignorant to say that the fighters are not as in good shape.". Not once did anyone in this video say that!!! Have you tried Crossfit? If so, you would know that there's nothing to get used to because you do a different workout every day. How do you explain that? This video was not to take away from how amazing firefighters are, it was simply stating that Crossfit is another way to kick your ass into shape.
@stewdawgmusic No need to get worked up. My comment was in reference to a comment made much earlier. I have nothing against crossfit and I'm all for exercise (whatever you choose to do). It is true that crossfit do different workouts each day but my statement still stands that they don't fight/spar so they would gas out doing THAT activity. Firefighters????? I think its talking about actual fighters lol
@achillesbeast turning that argument around... put a fighter do a 15 min WOD that an elite crossfit athlete will do and he will puke his guts.. Muscles adapt ok. But that is where this conversation can go... Don't compare uncomparable sports !
@Padischah88 Thats my point. Put either athlete in their opposite sport and they will tire out. Why? Because either athlete's muscles are not acclimated to the opposite activities. I'm not hating, I'm just pointing out the fact that fitness level is not so black and white. Everyone is going to be more fit at the type(s) of activities they do. In crossfit you don't fight/spar so naturally the muscles can't be adapted to something that isn't done. Same can be said for fighting. It goes both ways.
crossfits for weak people that dont want to lift heavy weights an really bust thei asses to get big these people will alwys be weak and puny and get no respect since their work ethic is worst than disabled persons.
@kingdaleclarke have you seen half the people doing crossfit, I've seen women snatch or cling or squat well over double their body weight, bet that is better than most people
@CxoXlXe Yesit is silly 2 say that because it's two different things. Apples to oranges. You even said it yourself. Just because the fighters werent used to the crossfit style workout doesn't make them in not as good shape. Put the crossfitters in the ring who have never sparred before and they will gas after 1 round. Even if the fighters don't hit them hard they will still gas. A fighter that is in great shape can get hit hard and remain composed without fatiguing throughout a round.
well done to the fighter because that workout was intense and the crossfitters had an advantage due to the fact that this stuff is their bread and butter and they eat this shit up yeeeyaah
I am saying this from the perspective of a CrossFit regular, the guys did not go deep enough for the wall balls or swing their kettlebells high enough. My coach at CrossFit Sine Pari doesn't even let you count those trash reps!
Let's be idiots and drop the weights, and in the process break them. You drop them because you don't have the strength to control them. One might say you are exhausted, but then you admit that your muscles don't have enough endurance to do what you are doing, which comes back to strength. Dropping weights doesn't seem to fit into the "functional fitness model", i.e. if "functional" means carry over into regular life.
Crossfit is awesome, I do it often myself, but there is this thing called S.A.I.D. It is an important physiological principle that is being ignored, I suggest that everyone look it up. No discussion over sport specific fitness can occur without understanding this principle.
@ngrooms5157 yeah its straight though they don't know what they are doing and i would rather be on my own or in my crossfit box with some amazing people who know what they are doing and actually care that you get better, you dig?
@ngrooms5157 yeah they have changed some now but our baseball coach doesn't even like it (we have won 5 state championships last decade) i think it geared more to football than baseball
@ngrooms5157 not baseball but for football yes but i think that our weight training program is shit because i did a semester of it and it was setup terribly.
@ngrooms5157 never really benefited from lifting during it and don't really have time to lift hard either school till 3:15 then straight from there to practice till 6:30 or 7:30 then eat and homework time for bed. But i can squeeze in 1 a week and i did feel stronger when i pitched so i think once a week is good.
@ngrooms5157 oh yeah i am not gonna train cfit during the season just working on my abs,legs and rotators cuff exercises and running. (not much for lifting during the season bt do maybe one hard workout a week from now on)
@ngrooms5157 found it and its sent to you, and can you do 10 reps of 90% of your max? i know i can't. we did the 60% after we did sets of 1 on Power Clean ended up working up to 165lbs, 15 more lbs than my max when doing them for a couple months after 3 weeks of CrossFit
@ngrooms5157 if you are doing around 60% of your max you can and hey it works that is all i know but let me find the video and i'll get back to you on the name in a sec
@ngrooms5157 i think the guy plays for the broncos.. haha no shit and while doing the 10+ everyone is explosive and there are times when we do sets of 1 for example we did a workout about 1-2 weeks ago with the C&J sets of 1-3
@ngrooms5157 there might be but i haven't found one yet. and there are football players that train CrossFit saw a video on there youtube channel not too long ago. but if CrossFit took the stuff they are doing than CrossFit should be fine?
@ngrooms5157 so it hits all aspects i get the conditioning i need to last all 7 innings and the strength from my hips/core/legs to produce faster pitches. Its not that i need to become a better pitcher because i hit my spots like crazy along with a good curve and changeup is all i need to work on, i just need to work on being explosive (cfit helps) because my size i should be throwing 83-88 without a problem but more around 81, i haven't lost a game that was my fault in 3 years.
@ngrooms5157 what does crossfit have to do with me being a baseball player? i traing CrossFit and also with a baseball trainer who has trained many many pro baseball players. But why can't i train crossfit and play baseball?
@ngrooms5157 nope you aren't, i am 6'3 190-200lbs also a starting pitcher for one of the best high school baseball programs in my state and in the country. and when CrossFit does do the strength training we do the strength lifting first then we do another workout which is the endurance training. (now this is just the box i go to don't know about the others but guessing its the same)
@ngrooms5157 ATTENTION WHOEVER YOU ARE, gtfoh i have done normal lifting for 7 months and i got further in 1 1/2 months of doing CrossFit(overall fitness) and define a "efficient way to train" because CFIT is very efficient.
CxOxLxE,hilarious comment ,you take this pretty seriously:)hehe.Anyway,Im sure its a very tough workout but I cant help not mentioning that the two fighter guys were doing the course faster which makes a major difference.
@JanKrosl faster than who? are you talking about the speed they are trying to complete it by going balls to the wall? because doing that CrossFit will eat you alive, you need to go fast but know your limits so you aren't gassed
@CxOxLxE Faster as in doing the course faster.They are completing the challengeswith better time which explaines why they burned out and couldnt finish the course like the regulars who took their time if you know what Im saying.Anyway,good workout
Great workout.... I just wish they would take the time out to correct these guys.. Their form is awful. As a Physical Therapist I'm sure they will be visiting the other side of fitness soon. (REHAB) Other than that, nice stuf..
Awesome fitness guys. This video is excellent at highlighting the importance of mental toughness - yes, you need physical strength, but without the ability to control your mind, it all means nothing!!
With a fighter you need to be able to handle bursts of power in each round. If you don't have explosive endurance you'll be done after round one. If these fighter couldn't handle it, they probably don't win many fights...
Crossfit is perfect for this type of conditioning. You aren't going to pick up a body in a burning building by grabbing a bag of chalk and making sure you have a spotter. You are going yank them off the ground and get the F**K outta dodge...
you can't say one is harder than the other, they are both just different... you could say crossfit is harder fitness-wise but then again a crossfitter isn't getting punched in the face or shot in on like a fighter is...
@angeriod There is A LOT of fighters who actually incorporate crossfit style workouts into their routines. Also, you're confusing a sport with a workout regimin. That's like saying, "math sucks; accounting is better".
@angeriod how is crossfit retarded? there mus be a reason why Special Forces and physically demanding sport athletes do it. But you wouldn't know anything about that sitting on youtube and crying about how you can't do it.
for all you talking shit on this video. dont knock it till you try it. Im sure there is a crossfit gym close to you that will GLADLY SHUT YOU THE FUCK UP with a free session.
@CxOxLxE We've gotten plenty 'CrossFitters' into our gym before; they say the same thing after their first workout with the team as the guys' in this video did: 'Harder then I expected.'
It's just as humbling to have your bell rung or get choked out when you're used to doing dead lifts and kipping pull ups.
@MMS1423 wow i got 16 thumbs up haha AWESOME, but yeah i wouldn't doubt it but i wasn't saying anything bad about MMA because shit i wouldn't do it, i was just saying to those people that are hating on CrossFit that its pretty awesome. and THANKS for capitalizing the 'C' and 'F' in CrossFit most people don't
@CxOxLxE Every training is different. I'd like to see a crossfitter run a sub 5:00 mile, or have a 45inch vertical leap. It all depends what you are working towards. And an mma fighter can beat up a crossfitter any day, ebcause he trains for that. Most people have a hard time doing crossfit because, they dont train for crossfit. Just do what works for you and have fun!
@BeepimajeepBeep there probably are some CrossFits that run a sub 5 and probably a couple with a 45". Well no shit he could but i never said he couldn't but i am talking about straight working out. I never said not to do a certain workout though? i was saying that there is a CrossFit Box near them that would love to show them a good workout
@CxOxLxE I have yet to see any crossfitters with a decent vertical leap. So far from what I am noticing, their verticals are fairly low. But they do know how to do crossfit worksouts VERY well... These guys are beasts at crossfit workouts
@CxOxLxE Most things are all about familiarity. These guys have never done this workout, or probably have never done some of the exercises and it makes it more difficult. This thing where you take people, run them through a workout like crossfit and its like you are proving something is stupid. Put a Crossfit dude in the ring with these guys and they would get killed. Same idea. I know it is a good workout... but this thing where Crossfit is gonna "shut you the fuck up" is silly.
@martinez85 no its not silly trust me haha its the truth. and as fighters they probably have done something close to it. AND not always you don't know how people can fight but putting someone in position to fight against a professional fighter is stupid, because it is illegal for them to fight outside of the ring because there hands are so deadly. Fighting and CrossFit is completely different, you can take a workout but getting hit is different.
This is beyond stupid, do you guys really think that a 100meter sprinter can outrun a 400meter sprinter? Why not try to challenge a triathlete at a triathlon, it would make same sense.
I have a question if someone doesn't mind helping me out. I do some amateur Muay-Thai fights. How many times a week would you consider doing this? When I am not competing I am typically hitting class 4x week 1.5 to 2 hours which includes a lot of conditioning. When I am competing (30 days out) I am typically in class 3-4 hours a day 5-6x week.
@chitah6 Thats why I said he would crush this workout, because his conditioning is superior and he does this kind of training frequently. Thus, I say he would crush it. How about you read before you open your mouth. Thank you, come again. Idiot.
@RNTcomeback If you understood how CrossFit WODs worked, you would remain quiet. The workouts are set up to work for everyone, no matter their individual fitness level.
OMG this is a hard xfit workout. I have been doing xfit since 2007 and haven't ever done this one. I would totally be psyched before starting this one. The problem with MMA folks doing this is that they will be in too good of condition. They will have to take the gloves off for the fights to be over sooner. It will just be decisions after 5 rounds if this is incorporated as standard.
Love the WOD! But im a fighter and CrossFit trainer and will say that they are totally different work outs. A CrossFit work out will work you better than anything out there BUT training to fight and actually fighting are completely different things. I pretty sure most who have never fought MMA but do CrossFIt everyday wont last 3 rounds of full contact sparring or be able to roll for 5 min straight. If your a fighter why not do both?
@AlexanderJCarrion im a boxer and a begginner conditioning trainer and i got this recommende by my trainer friend.tell me please what should my rest in between rounds be like this?how is the ratio of rest and work?
I would just like to point out that ALL of those fighters have ridiculously poor shoulder flexibility....of course they're fighters so they have to have a lot of upper body strength, but as you can see, its at the price of range of motion. I have to agree with @diamondd11 that over all CF is a better work out...as in it aims to work your whole body.
Im a Firefighter, MMA Instructor and bodybuilder, When Firefighting the cross fit workouts help a lot for my job, but when doing Martial Arts and MMA I usually never use cross fit. the point im trying to make is that cross fit has helped with my firefighting and i also am a frequent competitor for the Firefighter Combat Challenge which is a cross fit challenge type competition but if you are looking for size snd strengh bodybuilding is the way to go..but combining everything would be even better
The point isn't to prove that CF is harder than MMA. It's to show that CF is hard even for someone who is supposed to be at the peak of physical fitness. Everyone calm down.
I shouldn't think you would have had to explain that. Because anyone who either "thinks" (directly) or thought that you were trying to say crossfit is harder tham MMA is a moron to begin with.
@eamundo1989 notice I said "supposed to be" in my original comment.
Also, if a person was more fit that the athletes in the video, that person would go faster and post a better score and the workout would still be just as brutally hard.
I don't get it. Those guys aren't at all like the mma fighters I know. Since they were kind enough to step into your "crossfit world" Now it's your turn to step into the cage with them. Hmmm...wonder how that would turn out?
agree a bit with safrenn but i do cross fit my self i enjoy it but i will never only just do crossfit pt always needs to be mixed up and it doesnt matter any way bro what ever gets people to the gym and practice fitness its all good just be happy people are trying to practice a physical well being
The crossfit regulars including the "coach" are built like AIDS patients. Whats with crossfitters slaming down those 10 lbs bumper plates? If anything this video proves that crossfit is a sham. Now lets get those AIDS patients in the mma ring.
Ii do a lot of similar exersices this program is just a general fitness competition that requires you to be in very good shape. using this as a workout however i would not recommend because most people need a tailored program to promote proper muscle development allthough this is better than most generic workouts ive seen
Just because some CrossFitters do "belittle and demean" other programs doesn't mean you can say that all CrossFitters do. The people that say things like that are jerks and jerks act like jerks no matter what workout program they follow.
They aren't jerks because they CrossFit, they don't CrossFit because they are jerks and CrossFitting doesn't make a person into a jerk.
@diamondd11 sure, i suppose you make a fair enough point--maybe you have to take into account there are bound to be some jerks no matter where you go. but i guess it's just a coincidence that crossfit has so many jerks and toughguys starring in videos on the internet to promote the regimen ;)
@aslansalive I think that's just the loudest voices. The jerks aren't the majority of CrossFitters, they just yell the loudest and make themselves seem like they represent CrossFit as a whole. Make sense?
@diamondd11 makes sense. and i am going to assume that you don't classify yourself as one of these 'types'. but still, the videos being released to promote this program are more times than not full of people doing repetitive movements with poor form, while blasting horrible aggro-rock. posted by users like "CrossFitHQ" or "CrossFitCentral".. suggesting that they are central voice for the program.
@diamondd11 i would like to add that i have been to a crossfit workout twice, and out of a group of about 18, there weren't any people being jerks. however, the guy who came and talked to us and invited us to come try it out used a lot of curse words and deemed other forms of working out as being inferior. -imo, if it took a person crossfit to get results, then they weren't doing their workouts right previously.
@aslansalive Yeah some people are exactly like you describe but more are not like that. I would encourage you to go to more CF workouts at a high quality affiliate gym. And I disagree with your last statement about CF and getting results. I don't think that's true at all.
I think it HUGELY depends on what your goals are, i.e. CF won't make you a champion bodybuilder, long distance runner, or powerlifter, but if your goals align with CF, it is the best way to get results. Worked amazing for me.
@diamondd11 well, obviously, i was drawing the connection that your goals in the gym would have to align with that of crossfit.. or you wouldn't attempt a crossfit routine in the first place. BUT, i'm saying that if your goals were similar to crossfit's goals, and you weren't having any luck in the gym, then you were doing your workouts wrong in the first place. -you *can* absolutely get the same results in a solo workout in the gym, if that's your goal. *if* you do it right.
@aslansalive After re-reading your comment I have to say that I think you would be surprised by the number of people who want the results from (for example) bodybuilding, and do CF workouts. What I mean is that they want bigger biceps, chest, a 6 pack, etc. Those are all just self image goals that have nothing to do with CF's goal of Increase Work Capacity over Broad Time and Model Domains.
That is what I mean by "if your goals align." I think it's silly to do CF workouts just for body image.
@diamondd11 oh wow, are you serious? you say the exact point i'm already making *in your own words* and then still claim to not understand? look, if my goal was to 'increase work capacity over broad time and model domains' and i wasn't accomplishing that on my own in the gym, THEN I WASN'T DOING MY WORKOUTS CORRECTLY in the first place. YOU just said that you do CF solo workouts in the gym, so do i, it's called CIRCUIT TRAINING. i don't need an expensive club or a trendy title to get the results
@aslansalive Well congrats man you are smart. You can program intelligent circuits with good movements combinations and rep schemes, you are smart enough to learn the proper form for those movements, you somehow watch yourself and make sure to keep that good form as much as possible in the high intensity workout, you keep yourself motivated even without working out with someone else, and you go to a gym that allows you to do CF style workouts.
@aslansalive needs those "expensive clubs" and a "trendy title"
But just because you don't need it doesn't make it bad. You must be skilled at working out but that doesn't mean everyone is. CF helps people who aren't like you and I think it helps them much more than a Bodybuilding, yoga, or monostructural cardio program would. What's not to like? The jerks? Realize there is jerks everywhere. The attitude? Don't be immature--recognize that no one person speaks for the whole group in any situation
In addition, if you are a wrestler or MMA fighter and you want the most effective training program, even if you don't do CF, your workouts will probably look very much like CF. There will undoubtedly be some minor differences but for the most part, they will be very similar.
It boils down the to fact that CF works better for more people than yoga, bodybuilding, just Oly lifting, etc. more approachable, (some would argue) and more effective. For me, results from CF have shattered everything else.
@diamondd11 ohh diamond, what a raging hard-on you have for this program. let me say that i am HAPPY it worked well for you, and hopefully it keeps working well for you. aside from that, i feel like you contradict yourself when you state "CF works better for more people than yoga, bodybuilding, etc.." but at the same time we've already established that you will have to be after *those specific results provided by CF* to make that statement, and i think we are both in agreement that is..
@diamondd11 ..not always the case. we bodybuild to increase strength and shape targeted muscles, yoga for toning and flexibility, and so on. so i just plain disagree that CF will do a better job of improving flexibility than yoga, but AGREE that it will do a much better job at increasing strength and endurance than yoga. hooray! so i'll re-state what i've already said: if your goal was to 'increase work capacity over broad time and model domains' and you weren't getting that from your workouts..
@diamondd11 ..whether they be in a gym, your backyard, or elsewhere, then you weren't doing your workouts correctly. bad routine, bad execution, whatever the case may be. admittedly, i came from a high school with a terrific weight training coach, and have been in a gym for the better part of the past 10 years, but i read up on the topic, asked people who have knowledge on the topic and most importantly, worked out with intensity and focus.
@diamondd11 i guess i could also share that i have gone back to school and am in my second year towards a degree in corporate wellness. still, i have yet to learn anything that i didn't already know from reading magazines, the internet, and regular folks at the gym. i also wanted to make it clear that while yes, i did encounter a few jokers at the CF classes i attended, my *main* issues with CF are the expense and some of the ridiculous movements they use!
@aslansalive When I said that CF helps people more than yoga, bodybuilding etc, I should have clarified that I was referring to helping them more in achieving their maximum healthy state. I don't dispute that yoga will make you more flexible than CF will, but I do think CF makes you more well rounded than yoga does...or bodybuilding does.
I will agree that CF classes/memberships are expensive, but when you consider that you have many friendly workout partners (usually becomes a very tight...
Why do people pay $150 a month for a crossfit gym membership when they can do the same circuit training at home or in a regular gym for $30 a month? Makes no sense to me.
@biggamejames79 They used to compete in high school but weren't good enough to go pro in their respective sport. To keep from killing themselves they compete in Crossfit.
@biggamejames79 I would say the three biggest reasons are; the coaching from qualified trainers, being surrounded by friends that are doing the same workout as you (the social aspect), and the ability to use non-traditional equipment (ropes, kettlebells, bumper plates, slosh pipes, etc) in an environment (the CF gym) that allows shirtlessness, swearing, bleeding, blasting music, dropping weight, etc.
I use to do that with the class use to train at man u guy's rock I know what the guys r going threw man it works. Man I'm misseing it as I watch this.
fucking hell guys i do crossfit work outs at my training and different people get different builds from doing it its not all about getting big built ur a normal build but u get physically stronger and its intense so instead of chopsing off about it why dont you actually try out a propper crossfit work out for time
crossfit regulars? hmmmm, id expect them to have better bodies than that, maybe their diets could just be better. Got a friend at the gym I was working at that was doing crossfit and wanting to go to an international comp and he grew like a beast when he got into his training.
Have to laugh at the calorie deficient builds of the 'regulars'. Credit to their endurance & strength, but I'd personally choose a better balance between endurance, strength, AND size. Guys, you need to supplement more calories in your diets.
When do the crossfitters go through an MMA workout? Where is that video?

CF football? CF for fighters? CF for average Joe? Football player has different goals and needs than a fighter, yet you'd gladly say CF is for both? That's the problem I have with CF: it doesn't mean anything.
In many cases it becomes "conditioning geared towards a certain goal" at which point there's no reason to call it CF.
From athletic standpoint: CF = preparing to succeed in an event like CF Games. If that matches your goals then go for it.

it makes me laugh when I read about all the bodybuilders who knock crossfit. These are the same ass clowns that expend 30-45 secs and then rest 2 minutes between sets. CF is used to crosstrain your body for sport and activity. Bodybuilding workouts train you for...oh yeah to look good at the beach. I have a ton of friends that do exclusive bodybuilding workouts and could not make it through one CF workout. I have done it all(boxing, MMA, bodybuilding, CF) and CF is the hardest thing out there.

I cant believe what Crossfit has done.They just created the worst movement ever.Educated statement, Watching this Video proves tha we as a society have really Distant ourselves from HUMAN FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS: Yet Crossfit teaches,Annihilation instead of Stimulation,They focus on Structure! rather than FUNCTION,Crossfit people workout rather than PRACTICE,They have TRAINERS rahter that TEACHERS,They Isolate rather than Integrate "properly" Then we wonder why Injuries occur! many flaws in video!!

@MITO64KICK Highly disagree..you must be a personal trainer...and losing business because of crossfit. From what I have seen crossfit produces higher results than any personal trained person I know...Personal trainers are extremely overpriced and people are getting smarter about how they implement their fitness, instead of paying a personal trainer thousands of dollars. I made the mistake of paying a personal trainer, and found out really fast that I pushed myself harder.

Alot of people think that the exercise routines that makes you the most exhausted is also the best one. This is only true if your goal is to lose weight and endurance. If you want to be stronger, faster, more explosive, more agile, better coordination, then crossfit is not the best option. Crossfitters think they are "elite" because they spend half an hour 5 times a week on exercise. The best athletes train strength, speed, agility and coordination seperately.

So what, you have just taken some "fighters" who are as weak as malnourished kittens and have then gone to to prove the point of how wonderful Crossfit must be because "fighters" regard the wkt as gruesome. I know fighters who can power clean 315lbs at 200lbs, more than anyone at Crossfit can do, and will easily destroy any CF's times. Next time try and pick some real "fighters" and not some pencil necks who can barely front squat 95lbs.

I think its ignorant to say that the fighters are not as in good shape. As many of you may know, the muscles in the body adapt and over time the same workout is easier for you because the muscles have adapted to THAT WORKOUT REGIMEN. If you put the cross fit people to spar/fight for 10-12 rounds, they're going to be gassed out half way because their muscles haven't adapted to that type of training (fighting/sparring)
achillesbeast 6 months ago 11
@achillesbeast spot-on. this is the problem with the crossfit "be prepared for anything" methodology: adaptation is stress-specific, i.e., you adapt to what you do. doing a bunch of random workouts every day doesn't do anything except prepare you FOR THOSE WORKOUTS. @fitters would see better carryover if they spent more time training strength (which carries over into almost everything) and less time worrying about their fran times (no one gives a shit about that if your max squat is only 200)

@achillesbeast I think it's ignorant that you even made that statement...."I think its ignorant to say that the fighters are not as in good shape.". Not once did anyone in this video say that!!! Have you tried Crossfit? If so, you would know that there's nothing to get used to because you do a different workout every day. How do you explain that? This video was not to take away from how amazing firefighters are, it was simply stating that Crossfit is another way to kick your ass into shape.

@stewdawgmusic No need to get worked up. My comment was in reference to a comment made much earlier. I have nothing against crossfit and I'm all for exercise (whatever you choose to do). It is true that crossfit do different workouts each day but my statement still stands that they don't fight/spar so they would gas out doing THAT activity. Firefighters????? I think its talking about actual fighters lol
achillesbeast 6 months ago
@achillesbeast turning that argument around... put a fighter do a 15 min WOD that an elite crossfit athlete will do and he will puke his guts.. Muscles adapt ok. But that is where this conversation can go... Don't compare uncomparable sports !
Padischah88 4 months ago
@Padischah88 Thats my point. Put either athlete in their opposite sport and they will tire out. Why? Because either athlete's muscles are not acclimated to the opposite activities. I'm not hating, I'm just pointing out the fact that fitness level is not so black and white. Everyone is going to be more fit at the type(s) of activities they do. In crossfit you don't fight/spar so naturally the muscles can't be adapted to something that isn't done. Same can be said for fighting. It goes both ways.

@CxoXlXe Yesit is silly 2 say that because it's two different things. Apples to oranges. You even said it yourself. Just because the fighters werent used to the crossfit style workout doesn't make them in not as good shape. Put the crossfitters in the ring who have never sparred before and they will gas after 1 round. Even if the fighters don't hit them hard they will still gas. A fighter that is in great shape can get hit hard and remain composed without fatiguing throughout a round.

Let's be idiots and drop the weights, and in the process break them. You drop them because you don't have the strength to control them. One might say you are exhausted, but then you admit that your muscles don't have enough endurance to do what you are doing, which comes back to strength. Dropping weights doesn't seem to fit into the "functional fitness model", i.e. if "functional" means carry over into regular life.

@ngrooms5157 so it hits all aspects i get the conditioning i need to last all 7 innings and the strength from my hips/core/legs to produce faster pitches. Its not that i need to become a better pitcher because i hit my spots like crazy along with a good curve and changeup is all i need to work on, i just need to work on being explosive (cfit helps) because my size i should be throwing 83-88 without a problem but more around 81, i haven't lost a game that was my fault in 3 years.

@diamondd11 sure, i suppose you make a fair enough point--maybe you have to take into account there are bound to be some jerks no matter where you go. but i guess it's just a coincidence that crossfit has so many jerks and toughguys starring in videos on the internet to promote the regimen ;)

@aslansalive Yeah some people are exactly like you describe but more are not like that. I would encourage you to go to more CF workouts at a high quality affiliate gym. And I disagree with your last statement about CF and getting results. I don't think that's true at all.
I think it HUGELY depends on what your goals are, i.e. CF won't make you a champion bodybuilder, long distance runner, or powerlifter, but if your goals align with CF, it is the best way to get results. Worked amazing for me.

@diamondd11 well, obviously, i was drawing the connection that your goals in the gym would have to align with that of crossfit.. or you wouldn't attempt a crossfit routine in the first place. BUT, i'm saying that if your goals were similar to crossfit's goals, and you weren't having any luck in the gym, then you were doing your workouts wrong in the first place. -you *can* absolutely get the same results in a solo workout in the gym, if that's your goal. *if* you do it right.

@aslansalive I do CrossFit workouts solo in traditional gyms very frequently. I don't see the point your are trying to prove?
diamondd11 1 year ago
@aslansalive After re-reading your comment I have to say that I think you would be surprised by the number of people who want the results from (for example) bodybuilding, and do CF workouts. What I mean is that they want bigger biceps, chest, a 6 pack, etc. Those are all just self image goals that have nothing to do with CF's goal of Increase Work Capacity over Broad Time and Model Domains.
That is what I mean by "if your goals align." I think it's silly to do CF workouts just for body image.
diamondd11 1 year ago
@diamondd11 oh wow, are you serious? you say the exact point i'm already making *in your own words* and then still claim to not understand? look, if my goal was to 'increase work capacity over broad time and model domains' and i wasn't accomplishing that on my own in the gym, THEN I WASN'T DOING MY WORKOUTS CORRECTLY in the first place. YOU just said that you do CF solo workouts in the gym, so do i, it's called CIRCUIT TRAINING. i don't need an expensive club or a trendy title to get the results

@aslansalive Well congrats man you are smart. You can program intelligent circuits with good movements combinations and rep schemes, you are smart enough to learn the proper form for those movements, you somehow watch yourself and make sure to keep that good form as much as possible in the high intensity workout, you keep yourself motivated even without working out with someone else, and you go to a gym that allows you to do CF style workouts.
Good for you. A person who can't do those things

@aslansalive needs those "expensive clubs" and a "trendy title"
But just because you don't need it doesn't make it bad. You must be skilled at working out but that doesn't mean everyone is. CF helps people who aren't like you and I think it helps them much more than a Bodybuilding, yoga, or monostructural cardio program would. What's not to like? The jerks? Realize there is jerks everywhere. The attitude? Don't be immature--recognize that no one person speaks for the whole group in any situation

In addition, if you are a wrestler or MMA fighter and you want the most effective training program, even if you don't do CF, your workouts will probably look very much like CF. There will undoubtedly be some minor differences but for the most part, they will be very similar.
It boils down the to fact that CF works better for more people than yoga, bodybuilding, just Oly lifting, etc. more approachable, (some would argue) and more effective. For me, results from CF have shattered everything else.

@diamondd11 ohh diamond, what a raging hard-on you have for this program. let me say that i am HAPPY it worked well for you, and hopefully it keeps working well for you. aside from that, i feel like you contradict yourself when you state "CF works better for more people than yoga, bodybuilding, etc.." but at the same time we've already established that you will have to be after *those specific results provided by CF* to make that statement, and i think we are both in agreement that is..
aslansalive 1 year ago
@diamondd11 ..not always the case. we bodybuild to increase strength and shape targeted muscles, yoga for toning and flexibility, and so on. so i just plain disagree that CF will do a better job of improving flexibility than yoga, but AGREE that it will do a much better job at increasing strength and endurance than yoga. hooray! so i'll re-state what i've already said: if your goal was to 'increase work capacity over broad time and model domains' and you weren't getting that from your workouts..

@diamondd11 ..whether they be in a gym, your backyard, or elsewhere, then you weren't doing your workouts correctly. bad routine, bad execution, whatever the case may be. admittedly, i came from a high school with a terrific weight training coach, and have been in a gym for the better part of the past 10 years, but i read up on the topic, asked people who have knowledge on the topic and most importantly, worked out with intensity and focus.

@aslansalive ...knit group) and a trainer at every one of your workouts, the prices become much more comparable.
Also, what movements do you think are ridiculous? I just want some input from a none CrossFitter.
diamondd11 1 year ago
@diamondd11 i guess i could also share that i have gone back to school and am in my second year towards a degree in corporate wellness. still, i have yet to learn anything that i didn't already know from reading magazines, the internet, and regular folks at the gym. i also wanted to make it clear that while yes, i did encounter a few jokers at the CF classes i attended, my *main* issues with CF are the expense and some of the ridiculous movements they use!
aslansalive 1 year ago
@aslansalive When I said that CF helps people more than yoga, bodybuilding etc, I should have clarified that I was referring to helping them more in achieving their maximum healthy state. I don't dispute that yoga will make you more flexible than CF will, but I do think CF makes you more well rounded than yoga does...or bodybuilding does.
I will agree that CF classes/memberships are expensive, but when you consider that you have many friendly workout partners (usually becomes a very tight...

i love crossfit, but where is the boxing or MMA challenge for these crossfit guys. let's see how they do against them

Why do people pay $150 a month for a crossfit gym membership when they can do the same circuit training at home or in a regular gym for $30 a month? Makes no sense to me.

@biggamejames79 They used to compete in high school but weren't good enough to go pro in their respective sport. To keep from killing themselves they compete in Crossfit.
ninjanerd8 1 year ago
@biggamejames79 I would say the three biggest reasons are; the coaching from qualified trainers, being surrounded by friends that are doing the same workout as you (the social aspect), and the ability to use non-traditional equipment (ropes, kettlebells, bumper plates, slosh pipes, etc) in an environment (the CF gym) that allows shirtlessness, swearing, bleeding, blasting music, dropping weight, etc.

crossfit regulars? hmmmm, id expect them to have better bodies than that, maybe their diets could just be better. Got a friend at the gym I was working at that was doing crossfit and wanting to go to an international comp and he grew like a beast when he got into his training.

@stuartpollock its all genetics mate some people cant physically get huge. but these dudes are strong as shit and extremely fit.

Have to laugh at the calorie deficient builds of the 'regulars'. Credit to their endurance & strength, but I'd personally choose a better balance between endurance, strength, AND size. Guys, you need to supplement more calories in your diets.
