We have a Crossfit in my town. It's very pricey...$150 a month. They put down any other type of fitness regime. I am not a fan of running for time, box jumping, and rope climbing. I personally think it's all very cultish. People have gotten in shape prior to Crossfit, and will after the fad ends.
@curioussmokey sounds like you have a pricey crossfit - you can go on the website and do it from any gym in the world or in your garage . You should challenge yourself and try it once or 100 times and if you have any brain cells it will make sense to you that its the most efficient and intense workout system around.
This is not funny. If the guy passes out that is NOT a good thing. He is obviously disoriented, and should be advised to take things a bit slower. No matter what these SNAKE OIL SALESMAN tell you. The truth is YOU CAN NOT GET IN SHAPE IN ONE DAY. It took you awhile to get out of shape, and it will take you awhile to get in shape. These people just want your money and the majority of people end up quitting these programs within the first 2 weeks.
@fingaroll5 Here I am 6 months later, 5 days a week, injury free and making more gains in every aspect of physical fitness than I ever have before. Old mate in this video clearly doesn't work out too often...
cool, go to a real weight room, do some triple drop sets on bench press, and have someone film you bitching about how sore you will be for a week and a half.
Why is there a need to diss the way someone else works out? Nothing wrong with CrossFit or Bodybuilding. By the way, if CrossFit is so easy, how about looking up the CrossFit Football workout known as "Tillman?" You might find it a bit more challenging than drop sets on a bench.
@dvonplayerf369 I've done both a lot, and your triple drop sets on bench are pretty cute, but they're pussy shit compared to crossfit. Go look at the workout called Linda, thats wayyyy harder then your dropsets on just bench.
@cdaiglegnar I never said drop sets were harder, i meant you will see more results in strength than snatching weight that powerlifters such as myself can do with one arm. i would have much more respect for crossfit if the people who do it would realize that they aren't as high and mighty as they think they are.
I'm no crossfit evangelist (yoga, kayak, MTB and gym are my own version of CF), but you guys must be doing something right to incite such rage in the purists. "Mediocre at everything"? As if practical fitness leads to mediocrity. I also get a kick out of the guy claiming that CF is lame, but that MMA fighters have it figured out - based on my experience at one of the more respected MMA schools in CO, there isn't all that much difference in the two approaches. Quit hatin', insecurity is lame.
Crossfit is the most retarded, bastardised P-O-S ever devised. It's like having a Swiss Army Knife, sure, you have everything, but everything you have is crap. If you don't specialise, you're not special, you're just mediocre at everything. If that's what you're proud of, congratulations; you're distinctly average. Now make sure you delete this comment so that you can indoctrinate your deluded followers even further! What sputum-filled, prolapsed anal scum you characters are!
@EeeScape What a brilliant and educated response... I don't even know what that means. I suppose the main thing is that you actually had an opinion. Big clap. Keep it up...
@Sexygolfpro Did you know that 65% of MMA fighters train and get in shape by doing CrossFit, and one of CrossFit's most epic WODs is "Fight Gone Bad" which was designed for an MMA fighter looking for a workout that was hard enough to simulate an actual fight...just saying, maybe you should check your facts before bashing a program you know nothing about...
Crossfit, is a never ending program. Which for one ... makes it no longer a possible "fad" workout. It's not a 30 or a 60 day program .... it's a lifetime choice and lifestyle. Go to crossfit.com and read about it's concepts in their Journals. People much smarter than most of us when it comes to health, have writen and proven why crossfit works. It's also not about who is better than who. It's about you improving you for 'true fitness".
Why is it that the people that do cross fit are the only ones taking videos of them laying on the ground and similar shit??? It's not like they are benching, squating or snatching 2/3 times their body weight..
CROSS FIT is just another training trend similar to what P90X was
Not at all like p90x. Maybe if you actually did a crossfit workout you would see that. That is, if you could make it through one. You basically do every kind of lift within crossfit, even bench, squatting, and snatch.
I train with a Pro KOTC fighter, and he doesnt teach cross fit. He says its a waist of time and does nothing that will help get fight ready. Its more like a baby workout. He has produced 10 pro fighters in the last year, so im taking his advice...
@InnocentyInsane Love it..... instead of judging the crossfit based on what someone in a completely different training catagory says, just try it. Just once. Then lets hear you still call it just a "baby workout" when you're laying on the ground like the guy in this video. lol
im in the marines and the marine corp recently got a major hardon for cross fit, this stuff got our whole company out of shape and injured the fuck out of every one, this stuff is a quick way to achieve little results and high injuries, its inspecific so you never push any one body part to its limit and the cardio is worse than running
@msfattytrollbitch You and your company must be full of retards then. Instead of learning form and the full functional movements you just try to do enough to get through the workouts which is why you all get hurt. You don't get any results b/c again you're a bunch of idiots who don't want to do it the 'right' way ... and you don't get any cardio b/c you make no effort to push yourself. The concept is whole body development, there's more than one muscle in your body you jackass
@Howslifeasadouchebag youre telling me bunch of military personel dont know form and how to work out, you are a fuckin idiot, cross fit is glorified circuit training which if you knew how to work out is beginer shit thats done to get your body ready for real work out, working out your whole body is good only for weight loss if wont push you to any next level, we push ouselves to a level you will never understand, also you cant mix high impact with weight liting, you are a dumbass
@msfattytrollbitch That is exactly what I'm telling you. A bunch of retarded jar heads don't know propper form. The fact you all keep getting hurt proves it. Everything you just said in this post is contrary to your first post in which you complained how ineffective it is. But suddenly it is a decent workout. And I know this might be beyond your mental ability. But if it's so easy and unchallenging, the idea of crossfit allows you to scale. Just put more weight and more reps. Scrub
@Howslifeasadouchebag i dont know what i said thats contrary, how about you reread what i said, ive ran marathons and done weight lifting competions and i push myself to the limit, and im not even old enough to buy alcohol yet, this gave nobody any good results you can do this for years and still be nothing special, i can do workout circles around your dumbass, retarded jar heads you have no idea what discipline is you faggot civ, go get a tan and jack off to yourself in the mirror
@marineninga i got some idiot calling me and friends bitches like we dont know what we're doing when all i was doing was informing that this isnt a quality workout, this is just some jackass on the hype of a mediocre workout and only trains to look pretty in the mirror, ill say what i please because ive earned the right
@msfattytrollbitch you are likely not any of the things you are saying you are. also, why are you even on youtube commenting like a troll if you're so great?
@bangbongbong Because CrossFit is the only sport where people injure themselves? Or are rest of the injuries not worth mentioning? The most popular fitness activity in the US is jogging, and over 65% of people get an injury from it. Does that mean jogging is "nonsense"?
I agree, that's exactly what crossfit does, makes you decent at several things, that's what circuit training has done since it's inception. I just dislike the marketing hype put behind simple training methods that lead people to claim they're becoming "elite atheletes". You put it perfectly, but it's the claims by the founder and the crossfit gyms, in order to sell memberships, that lots of people disagree with since they're untrue.
Crossfit builds elite fitness, but not elite athletes. They even admit that "Instead of being great at one thing, you'll be good at lots of things." Elite athletes are GREAT, not just GOOD.
@biggamejames79 elite athletes are great at their sport-- which is generally ONE thing [unless you are a gold medal decathlete-- none of whose times are that of the individual winners of the events]. CFers are generalists, like decathletes, and train for "increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains"
@sicko1994 Yeah there's nothing unsafe about pushing an unfit middle-aged man like that. Furthermore we should feel good about his suffering. Yay for being a faggot! :D
@ninjanerd8 haha, yeah cause they FORCED him to do it, they didnt make him do it aganst his will or anything he chose to do it, and if YOU actully got out there and trained youd know the feeling he just got and its the best feeling in the world....soo shh do gooder
going as far as passing out - idiotic ( you are there for HEALTH remember ?)
the puking is just your bodies reaction to the acid, passing out is actually a complete shutdown, wich is not only dangerous but hugely unhealthy
oh and to all the fitness studio tools, your jealousy and self doubt after seeing crossfit is obvious.Keep doing that bench press so your popped collar shirts look cooler
when its about fitness and PRACTICAL strength , crossfit
CrossFit for the win, plain and simple. get your heads out of your global gym asses and realize jogging on the treadmill and girlcurls dont get you in great OVERALL shape.
Most of the time, the people who rag on Crossfit are the ones who thought they were in amazing shape until they showed up to crossfit and did the beginning benchmark and had to quit. Also they had plenty of excuses as to why they had to quit like, "it's not good to do this many reps" I call them pussies.
@MattP12 I think cross fit is good, i prefer wieght training, and going to play soccer afterwards. Question: how long is a normal session of cross fit?
@littleismail. First of all, there is no such thing as a normal session. But to answer your question, What I normally expect when I go to my box (County Line Crossfit) is anywhere from 10mins to 20mins for just the WOD (Workout of the Day). But you have a warm up and sometimes do a skilled movement that works on form more than weight and reps prior to the WOD. It really all depends on you and your fitness level due to the fact that every workout is timed and you eventually race against yourself.
@MattP12 I never really ragged on Crossfit but I was always a strict heavy lifter and
I thought I was in pretty damn good shape until I did my first baseline. Now I can't ever picture going back to a regular gym, Crossfit is just too effing awesome.
A CrossFitter would squat 400 lbs for 3 reps and then run a 20 minute 5k with no rest in between. That is what CrossFit is about...not about being tough. Not taking anything away from a persons ability to squat 800lb, that is truly an amazing feet of strength of which I am truely envious. Just trying to say that CrossFit is about having the ability to perform at high levels across the entire range of "fitness" measures. I say "high levels" intentionally, not "the highest" at any one measure.
@MattP12 It's funny how anyone that's not into the role play fitness appear as "pussies." Strange stuff. Like the Harley Fags (not as in the gay insult) dressing in leathers and riding their big loud bikes around trying to look tough. Complete delusion but very funny to laugh at.
I think most fitness experts would find your views very amusing matt, but then, you know they are all wrong.
@MattP12 Nice egotistical comment that makes little sense. There is something called specificity of training, ever heard of it? By finding out how someone trains you can find out how to wipe them out. Take a Crossfit Freak for one, you all do basically density training that lives in the Strength Endurance field. Most people don't have capacity....WOW! So that means ANY type of training where you hold the intensity at 75% of your 1RM, cut the rest to very incomplete 60seconds
@MattP12 intra set and super setting and jack the volume up you are going to have most of the population who can't do it. You Crossfit didn't create anything new, what they did was marketed themselves brilliantly for what amounts to circut training. I had one of you idiots come to my gym saying you could train an Olympic Athlete in ANY sport. Not only did he fail because he didn't know the first thing about training a REAL pro, but he got his ass kicked trying to do simple relative strength
@MattP12 workout. Why? Because what Crossfit does to the CNS (where it relates to relative training) is detrains it because you idiots constantly are using light loads. The minute I started at 85% of the guys max, he couldn't even do a set of 4-6 by the second round because he had the CNS of a women.
Here is so advice, shut your mouth until you know even the basics of how strength applies to the body, you crossfit retards don't have a clue. BTW, keep "kipping" until you tear the Labrum U ass.
@MattP12 that may be true to an extent. let's see you guys do exercises with correct form with as many reps as you normally would do. i.e. no jerking your knees up when you're doing pull/chin-ups.
I've puked numerous times and blacked out a few times working out in my home gym. It's not crossfit, it's just the level of exertion you let yourself get to. I think any experienced lifter can tell you the same.
lol...if i dont at least feel like im gunna vomit i didnt do a good job. some times i feel like im gunna die, then i just smile and know i did a good job. the way that guy is right there is somthing to shoot for. that feeling is....well awesome.
My day at South Peoria Crossfit...warm up 3-3-3 max deadlift. Workout of the day(WOD)...100 burpees terminating in a jumping pull up(for time). Then stand around for fifteen minutes feeling like I was about to pass out. Finally for a finisher...fifty kip pull ups, fifty ring rows. I love it.
A guy died after a crossfit wod when he laid down. I'm 100% serious. It was caused by heart failure, and it seemed to be that if he didn't lie prone it wouldn't have happened. I think it compromises your cardiovascular system. Walk it off instead.
@captainampersand Well, if I remember correctly...When you exercise intensely, your arteries dilate (widen) to increase overall blood flow. When your muscles contract, they squeeze the arteries and assist the HEART in blood circulation. If you suddenly stop moving after an extreme workout, your muscles stop helping the blood through your body BUT YOUR ARTERIES ARE STILL DILATED. Now there're all these huge arteries and not enough power to pump blood through them, resulting in low blood pressure.
Crossfit is not an ideal training regimen. It is LARGELY based from the 300 workout. These type of workout regimens are NOT sustainable for long periods of time. With these types of programs, over training is bound to happen. You WILL get burned out. My advice is to train towards your goals. There is no such thing as a cookie cutter workout.
@rwillis6175 . The 300 wod is actually based from CF not the other way around. Also, whats "cookie cutter" about CF? Is it the sprinting, long distant running, olympic liftting, gymnastics or power lifting movements? Yeah. Go do some nice and easy bicep curls and some bench press and stop talking about shit you know nothing about. Thanks
crossfit is nothing new...the idea anyway. they say they combined all the best aspects of sports to create the workout which is true however, they are not the first...this used to be called CROSS TRAINING. that is a good thing though because it means that the programs work...as long as you do!
That's GPP training, which Crossfit conveniently renamed as "fitness". Personally, I train with a tad bit more focus on strength, but I try to be well rounded. I do NOT think Crossfit is the best program for that. There is not much sense to their "programming" besides being conducive to their own tests of "fitness". I still enjoy watching their videos, but their training is pretty much a bunch of conditioning challenges with a few heavy lifting days thrown in the mix.
It depends on what I'm focusing on. Typically, following a strength program (ex. 5/3/1 or 5x5) or modifying a program for 3-4 days a week while also doing other conditioning, both aerobic (example - LSD runs, 10 rounds of shadowboxing/heavy bag work, etc.) and anaerobic (burpees, sprints, conditioning challenges, etc.).
As I was alluding to, I focus on certain things and certain times. For example, if I'm in a strength phase, I'll be eating more, resting more, and doing less conditioning.
It's not the fastest way to gain strength, but while on a strength program can you still run a 5k in 20 min flat? Those are 2 of my goals, 400 lbs dead lift and 20 min 5k just like Russ Greene. Crossfit is definitely not the only way to be fit and it's not anything new, but it's different, planned daily worldwide, and I look forward to it which provides easy consistency :).
Actually, a 20 min 5k is also my goal. I hadn't run all winter due to weather, but I just ran this Sunday. I ran 1.7 miles in 11:40, which was decent for not running for a long time. If I were being completely honest, I probably couldn't break 20 right now, but I could break 21 min. I'm pretty confident I will break 20 min in a month or two.
I have no issue with people doing Crossfit. I have issue with some of the attitudes of people doing Crossfit. If it works for you, that's great.
21 minutes is still a really good time, especially for not running for a few months. And the attitude some crossfitters have makes me sick. It sounds like you know what you're doing when it comes to fitness, for people like me it's nice being told what to do.
@omnipat Right. Check my videos. A lot of programs have you squatting 3 times a week. I've hit a 19:05 5k while still being able to easily Deadlift 400 lbs at a weight of 160-170 lbs. Right now I could guarantee you that I could run a sub 20 minute 5k and I'm squatting 3 times a week. The program I put up there is 3 work sets, which is minimal. Grow some balls and handle it. Squatting once a week with the 5x5 is actually tougher than twice a week with 3 sets of 5 IMO.
Im a strenghth conditioning coach and honestly speaking... i think the crossfit concept is way healthier than an all out marathon. Com'on how many of us NEED to run such distances for daily living? the muscles need to move and stay strong to prevent injury and i belive thats achieved only via power movements. Gradually but surely. That guy was just out of whack...give him some time and im sure he'll do fine
while I like crossfit i find that there's a little too much emphasis on endurance for me. Sure it will get you fit but it will definitely take you longer to deadlift twice your BW and it's a bit hard for beginers that's why i say build a base and learn proper technique b/c i way too many people using bad technique on exercises (like using biceps in high pulls or doing pushups without full ROM or good hand position) But I still would recommend people use crossfit if that's what they like.
@inlovewithjesus42 kettlebell sport has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to work better than crossfit for strength AND endurance. Crossfit is for people who don't know a thing about fitness and are sheeple.
@inlovewithjesus42 check out CF Football or integrate some of the Westside Barbell methods. That stuff seems to work for a lot of people I know who shared the same sentiments before they got into it.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
crossfit is a joke..but I can see how people think its hard...for instance, if you think running a mile is hard or push pressing 100 lbs is hard...so yeah if you are completely out of shape, it would b hard, but any person in normal shape will just break a sweat.
Been running and lifting weights for 10 years and after I did crossfit I was sore all over like after the first time I lifted weights. I had the Stamina but I realised how many muscles I wasnt using just lifting... Its not everyone
any new movement will make you a little sore the next day, but after a couple weeks, you will adapt. hell, you can be able to bench 500, squat 600, and sex will make you sore if it's been a while since you did it.
SJKTSS and others ... there MAY be harder workouts out there. However, if you have no problem with these workouts, or don't find yourself in state of exhaustion/euphoria similar to what this guy is feeling, then you simply aren't pushing yourself hard enough or are some kind of crazy superfit freak. I'm leaning more towards the first assumption. If you have more in the tank, then you held back--that's a personal motivation problem. If I'm wrong then go win the CrossFit games and prove it.
No joke son! seriously, we do these twice a week and my whole body is constantly sore! yeah up the weight if this is somewhat less difficult, i've seen huge ripped guys not make it through the 1st set. you are a fool if you think these are easy! yeah that one dude does 21 15 9 sets in 1:53 min. it on here somewhere!
Anything can be made difficult. My problem with Crossfit is more with the people doing it. Don't stall during workouts and jump so low coming off burpees that your feet actually touch the ground before you clap and then look down on other programs because they're not bad ass like Crossfit. Don't put in a full kip, barely graze the underside of the bar with your chin and then call what you did a pull up. Time to start praising individuals for their intensity, instead of programs.
@ninjanerd8 Kipping is not necessary in crossfit. It's a choice you can make. The crossfit workouts are timed, so speed is emphasized. However, it is common at my crossfit to do "cash in's" ( warmup--cashin--timed workout--cashout--stretch) that involve heavy squats, dead lifts, weighted pull-ups, bench, overhead press, etc. The timed workouts aren't the only part of crossfit, but they are the most intense part.
Anyone who thinks this guy is a looser has obviously never pushed themselves hard enough. Try doing a 'Filthy Fifty' or a 'Murph' at max effort and then talk. I don't care how fit you are, you will definitely not be feeling good while you do it. I freakin love X-Fit!!!!
I have no problem with those workouts. I break a sweat while doing them, but there are tougher programs out there. So, stop being one of those crossfags, get off your high horse and acknowledge that there are other ways. Diversity, MFer, is something gayfit lacks.
Agreed. If Crossfit is the toughest program out there then BJ Penn wouldn't have gone from doing Crossfit and gassing in fights to doing something else and looking his best.
you guys are all fags. none of you have done crossfit. and hate it because you think your the shit. well your not. yours fags. so fuck off. see he says crossfit makes him feeel the best. yeah so fuck you fuckers. fuck!
Wow, for everyone freaking out about the dude being completely exhausted and disoriented, you guys must have never worked out HARD in your life. Any kind of intense training can make most people dizzy afterwards, not just CF.
lol, I know. First, the title's a bit misleading, as he doesn't actually lose consciousness. Second, I love crossfit, but I felt like this dozens of times before I ever heard of crossfit: doing wrestling drills, doing windsprints until I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest, having so much fun playing basketball that I failed to realize I was going to puke, etc.. It's really just about working hard and busting your a**. Some people are just lazy and never get it.
Yeah. really anyone, fit or not, can be pushed to this point. Basically all your blood goes to the msucles and away from the head causing light headedness, dizzyness and/or nausea. Most people who have never worked out with a trainer just quit before they reach this point.
@Muffin73837 there is a fine line between working out hard and feeling dizzy, puking and passing out. never should it come to that. warning:anyone that plans on working out this hard needs to know their own limit, if for any reason a person has any medical issues should always consult a doctor before attempting a program such as CF or any strenuous activity like this. people should hydrate themselves days before and after. this is a program that you build yourself up to, not expect rome in a day
@Wolfenman08 After a workout you should feel this way. If not then you didnt push yourself enough and you are only holding yourself back. Stay hydrated and stretch well before and you are less likely to get hurt from this than jogging down the road.
@turnandburn44 No, actually, when you get to the point of feeling dizzy it's probably because of lack of oxygen flow to your brain, which is dangerous, end of discussion. It wont do anything short term, but long term it's extremely dangerous. Passing out from a workout (or puking, which I've also seen CF guys do) probably means you're dehydrated, unless you're sick. It has nothing to do with how often you workout, how much you drink, or your diet.
@turnandburn44 (Part 2) If you get sick, pass out, or anything of the like, it's because you're dehydrated, and not getting enough oxygen to your brain. Not to mention, that a good chunk of how Crossfit is set up (emphasis on speed and weight over proper technique) is proven to cause long term injury to bones, muscles, and joints. Does jogging cause injury? Sure, but it's almost all short term injury such as shin splints. What Crossfitters do encourages long term injury like cartilage damage
@Sword385 No, see, it's actually a fact that the kinds of things crossfitters do produce long term injury. The problem comes when weight becomes more important then technique, and speed becomes more important then quality.
@Wolfenman08 your 100% right, but it does come down to the person. I say if you can't do it with proper form, reduce the weight and do it right. Don't risk an injury because you'll be out for a long time and set backs are never good for an athlete. With patience you eventually can work up to the goal weight and then and only then your ready to compete.
@Sword385 Then you're one of the good ones. And that's the mentality I use when I do crossfit workouts. But a good 70% of the crossfit videos on youtube (and one of the two on their website) has horrible technique because the person either has too much weight or is focusing on speed. And /that/ is the problem with most crossfitters.
His heart had already stopped pumping blood into his brain.

Crossfit is the most retarded, bastardised P-O-S ever devised. It's like having a Swiss Army Knife, sure, you have everything, but everything you have is crap.

Crossfit, is a never ending program. Which for one ... makes it no longer a possible "fad" workout. It's not a 30 or a 60 day program .... it's a lifetime choice and lifestyle. Go to crossfit.com and read about it's concepts in their Journals. People much smarter than most of us when it comes to health, have writen and proven why crossfit works. It's also not about who is better than who. It's about you improving you for 'true fitness".

Why is it that the people that do cross fit are the only ones taking videos of them laying on the ground and similar shit??? It's not like they are benching, squating or snatching 2/3 times their body weight..
CROSS FIT is just another training trend similar to what P90X was

Not at all like p90x. Maybe if you actually did a crossfit workout you would see that. That is, if you could make it through one. You basically do every kind of lift within crossfit, even bench, squatting, and snatch.

I agree, that's exactly what crossfit does, makes you decent at several things, that's what circuit training has done since it's inception. I just dislike the marketing hype put behind simple training methods that lead people to claim they're becoming "elite atheletes". You put it perfectly, but it's the claims by the founder and the crossfit gyms, in order to sell memberships, that lots of people disagree with since they're untrue.

littleismail 1 year ago
@littleismail. First of all, there is no such thing as a normal session. But to answer your question, What I normally expect when I go to my box (County Line Crossfit) is anywhere from 10mins to 20mins for just the WOD (Workout of the Day). But you have a warm up and sometimes do a skilled movement that works on form more than weight and reps prior to the WOD. It really all depends on you and your fitness level due to the fact that every workout is timed and you eventually race against yourself.

A CrossFitter would squat 400 lbs for 3 reps and then run a 20 minute 5k with no rest in between. That is what CrossFit is about...not about being tough. Not taking anything away from a persons ability to squat 800lb, that is truly an amazing feet of strength of which I am truely envious. Just trying to say that CrossFit is about having the ability to perform at high levels across the entire range of "fitness" measures. I say "high levels" intentionally, not "the highest" at any one measure.

@MattP12 intra set and super setting and jack the volume up you are going to have most of the population who can't do it.

I had one of you idiots come to my gym saying you could train an Olympic Athlete in ANY sport. Not only did he fail because he didn't know the first thing about training a REAL pro, but he got his ass kicked trying to do simple relative strength
mrceebees14 9 months ago
@MattP12 workout. Why? Because what Crossfit does to the CNS (where it relates to relative training) is detrains it because you idiots constantly are using light loads. The minute I started at 85% of the guys max, he couldn't even do a set of 4-6 by the second round because he had the CNS of a women.
Here is so advice, shut your mouth until you know even the basics of how strength applies to the body, you crossfit retards don't have a clue. BTW, keep "kipping" until you tear the Labrum U ass.

@captainampersand Well, if I remember correctly...When you exercise intensely, your arteries dilate (widen) to increase overall blood flow. When your muscles contract, they squeeze the arteries and assist the HEART in blood circulation. If you suddenly stop moving after an extreme workout, your muscles stop helping the blood through your body BUT YOUR ARTERIES ARE STILL DILATED. Now there're all these huge arteries and not enough power to pump blood through them, resulting in low blood pressure.

Crossfit is not an ideal training regimen. It is LARGELY based from the 300 workout. These type of workout regimens are NOT sustainable for long periods of time.

@TheXavierLee
That's GPP training, which Crossfit conveniently renamed as "fitness". Personally, I train with a tad bit more focus on strength, but I try to be well rounded. I do NOT think Crossfit is the best program for that. There is not much sense to their "programming" besides being conducive to their own tests of "fitness". I still enjoy watching their videos, but their training is pretty much a bunch of conditioning challenges with a few heavy lifting days thrown in the mix.
suttoncd 1 year ago
@suttoncd
So what programing do you like?
madmardygan 1 year ago
It depends on what I'm focusing on. Typically, following a strength program (ex. 5/3/1 or 5x5) or modifying a program for 3-4 days a week while also doing other conditioning, both aerobic (example - LSD runs, 10 rounds of shadowboxing/heavy bag work, etc.) and anaerobic (burpees, sprints, conditioning challenges, etc.).
As I was alluding to, I focus on certain things and certain times. For example, if I'm in a strength phase, I'll be eating more, resting more, and doing less conditioning.
suttoncd 1 year ago
It's not the fastest way to gain strength, but while on a strength program can you still run a 5k in 20 min flat? Those are 2 of my goals, 400 lbs dead lift and 20 min 5k just like Russ Greene. Crossfit is definitely not the only way to be fit and it's not anything new, but it's different, planned daily worldwide, and I look forward to it which provides easy consistency :).
madmardygan 1 year ago
Actually, a 20 min 5k is also my goal. I hadn't run all winter due to weather, but I just ran this Sunday. I ran 1.7 miles in 11:40, which was decent for not running for a long time. If I were being completely honest, I probably couldn't break 20 right now, but I could break 21 min. I'm pretty confident I will break 20 min in a month or two.
I have no issue with people doing Crossfit. I have issue with some of the attitudes of people doing Crossfit. If it works for you, that's great.
suttoncd 1 year ago
21 minutes is still a really good time, especially for not running for a few months. And the attitude some crossfitters have makes me sick. It sounds like you know what you're doing when it comes to fitness, for people like me it's nice being told what to do.
madmardygan 1 year ago
Honestly, if your two main goals are hitting a 400 lbs deadlift and a 20 min 5k, I'd do a routine such as such as:
Monday - Squat (3 sets of 5), Bench Press (3 sets of 5), Bent Over Row (3 sets of 5)
Tuesday - LSD run (long, slow jog)
Wednesday - Deadlift (5 sets of 1), Front Squat (3 sets of 5), Overhead Press (3 sets of 5)
Thursday - Sprint Intervals
Friday - Squat (3 sets of 5), Push Press (3 sets of 5), Chinups (3 sets of close to failure at BW)
Saturday - Timed 5k
Sunday - off

@omnipat Right. Check my videos. A lot of programs have you squatting 3 times a week. I've hit a 19:05 5k while still being able to easily Deadlift 400 lbs at a weight of 160-170 lbs. Right now I could guarantee you that I could run a sub 20 minute 5k and I'm squatting 3 times a week. The program I put up there is 3 work sets, which is minimal. Grow some balls and handle it. Squatting once a week with the 5x5 is actually tougher than twice a week with 3 sets of 5 IMO.

while I like crossfit i find that there's a little too much emphasis on endurance for me. Sure it will get you fit but it will definitely take you longer to deadlift twice your BW and it's a bit hard for beginers that's why i say build a base and learn proper technique b/c i way too many people using bad technique on exercises (like using biceps in high pulls or doing pushups without full ROM or good hand position) But I still would recommend people use crossfit if that's what they like.

Anything can be made difficult. My problem with Crossfit is more with the people doing it. Don't stall during workouts and jump so low coming off burpees that your feet actually touch the ground before you clap and then look down on other programs because they're not bad ass like Crossfit. Don't put in a full kip, barely graze the underside of the bar with your chin and then call what you did a pull up. Time to start praising individuals for their intensity, instead of programs.
ninjanerd8 2 years ago
@ninjanerd8 Kipping is not necessary in crossfit. It's a choice you can make. The crossfit workouts are timed, so speed is emphasized. However, it is common at my crossfit to do "cash in's" ( warmup--cashin--timed workout--cashout--stretch) that involve heavy squats, dead lifts, weighted pull-ups, bench, overhead press, etc. The timed workouts aren't the only part of crossfit, but they are the most intense part.

lol, I know. First, the title's a bit misleading, as he doesn't actually lose consciousness. Second, I love crossfit, but I felt like this dozens of times before I ever heard of crossfit: doing wrestling drills, doing windsprints until I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest, having so much fun playing basketball that I failed to realize I was going to puke, etc.. It's really just about working hard and busting your a**. Some people are just lazy and never get it.

Yeah. really anyone, fit or not, can be pushed to this point. Basically all your blood goes to the msucles and away from the head causing light headedness, dizzyness and/or nausea. Most people who have never worked out with a trainer just quit before they reach this point.

@Muffin73837 there is a fine line between working out hard and feeling dizzy, puking and passing out. never should it come to that. warning:anyone that plans on working out this hard needs to know their own limit, if for any reason a person has any medical issues should always consult a doctor before attempting a program such as CF or any strenuous activity like this. people should hydrate themselves days before and after. this is a program that you build yourself up to, not expect rome in a day

@Muffin73837 If you get to that point, you are working far too hard, and are hurting yourself.

@Wolfenman08 After a workout you should feel this way. If not then you didnt push yourself enough and you are only holding yourself back. Stay hydrated and stretch well before and you are less likely to get hurt from this than jogging down the road.

@turnandburn44 No, actually, when you get to the point of feeling dizzy it's probably because of lack of oxygen flow to your brain, which is dangerous, end of discussion. It wont do anything short term, but long term it's extremely dangerous. Passing out from a workout (or puking, which I've also seen CF guys do) probably means you're dehydrated, unless you're sick. It has nothing to do with how often you workout, how much you drink, or your diet.

@turnandburn44 (Part 2) If you get sick, pass out, or anything of the like, it's because you're dehydrated, and not getting enough oxygen to your brain. Not to mention, that a good chunk of how Crossfit is set up (emphasis on speed and weight over proper technique) is proven to cause long term injury to bones, muscles, and joints. Does jogging cause injury? Sure, but it's almost all short term injury such as shin splints. What Crossfitters do encourages long term injury like cartilage damage

@Wolfenman08 no, your just weak

@Sword385 No, see, it's actually a fact that the kinds of things crossfitters do produce long term injury. The problem comes when weight becomes more important then technique, and speed becomes more important then quality.

@Wolfenman08 your 100% right, but it does come down to the person. I say if you can't do it with proper form, reduce the weight and do it right. Don't risk an injury because you'll be out for a long time and set backs are never good for an athlete. With patience you eventually can work up to the goal weight and then and only then your ready to compete.

@Sword385 Then you're one of the good ones. And that's the mentality I use when I do crossfit workouts. But a good 70% of the crossfit videos on youtube (and one of the two on their website) has horrible technique because the person either has too much weight or is focusing on speed. And /that/ is the problem with most crossfitters.
