all you people that are being haters about this program should try it first because it sounds like you just want to be average and thats ok for losers

mirros are bad to use... its science... read power to the people by pavel tsatsouline... you need to FEEL how to properly lift, not SEE it.

How pray tell do YOU workout?

Crossfit has a great impact on physical health and core strength. Nobody's saying a 300lb man should step up and try this workout. Obviously it takes time to get to a point in which you can workout in this manner. But practically all forms of exercise come with hazards. That doesn't mean everyone should just stick to jogging and monotonous routines a few times a week. The body responds better to variety. Surprised you didn't know this.

god i'd love to do everything the actors did in preparation for the movie 300 that's why i named myself what i am

Don't bother with them. They don't care about actual fitness, only the appearance of fitness.

for all you globo gym rats, your workouts are my warm up. Read the science behind crossfit, and you will see that even guys in their 60's are blowing 30 year olds away. If you can have a 70 year old grandmother start crossfit, its time rethink your perception of crossfit. Don't talk about it. Just try it!

dropout rate in a regular gym within 6 months is 75%

Navy Seal Buds dropout rate is 65% :P

Lol, they are the noisiest too, push themselves so hard that they probably cant walk for a week. No wonder they never come back, until the next year.

True it's not for everyone. What does the hallowed wikipedia say though about dropouts from "standard" gyms? I used to go to the local Y and every Jan there's what we call the New Years resolution crowd. Wait a month or two and they've almost all quit.
