If you go to the army a single pull up that is not technically perfect is a no rep, a push up with bad form is a no rep but in CrossFit you do kipping, you abuse your spine, knees, everything in pursuit of the number of reps in the shortest amounts of time and it's the only discipline like that.

A few years ago I won a free trial month of CrossFit at a local gym, I went for the first week and then told them that I wouldn't be coming back. When they asked why I told them what they were doing was detrimental to the long-term health of their clients (I can only speak about the gym I was at, but it seems consistent with the industry) They were pushing people to achieve maximum reps without ever teaching them how to do the moves properly. Everything was maximum effort, quantity over quality. At the time I had been doing calisthenics for 4 years and could do about 40 regular pullups without stopping, I could do controlled muscle-ups and on a good day 2 or 3 one arm muscle-ups. In class doing pullups The cross-fit "Coach" told me that I wasn't going fast enough to keep up with the class, and that I needed to "reach deeper" and to "screw form". I was done after that.

[@axelstromblad3015]

Bruh it isnt cheating. Look at it this way: The definition of doing a pullup is pulling from lockout until the chin is level with the bar. By kipping you are utilizing your entire body to do so, and if Done correctly is definitely not dangerous. It is like saying you should run with your arms straight down because otherwise it is cheating. If the goal of doing the exercise isnt to do pullups strict, but to be able to do them quick, it makes No sense not using the entire body, hence the running metaphor.

Peter Csigo If your goal is to do be able to do more strict pullups, then No it wont do the job. Even crossfitters dont do this as a progressive excercise for building strength. But when it comes to do pullups in competition this is a more efficient way to do them. The volume is still the same, you are just utilizing other muscles aswell.

Pear Lock do you think that people training for olympic lifting only do singles? No they work sets and reps. And if you have ever done a peaking prep for weightlifting, powerlifting or crossfit (which i have and placed) you will be for at a very high state of fatigue just before your deload or peak, doing very high percentage sets for reps. Obviously bracing and maintaining form is highly important, but usually the weight for a compound movement in a wod is considerably under their max and if its not people scale so they stay safe and can complete the workout.

I agree. I completely understand want to build good, general skills. Like being strong overall, having some good base cardio and be able to do the Olympic Lifts. But yeah, you shouldn't be doing heavy sets of 5 snatches and you need to actually have programming to make any sort of lasting progress.

[@dekudeku5520]

Some of the CrossFit workouts are so pathetic but are alright if you are too weak to get the form right, so it should be like a start for those who are a lot weaker than they should be and can’t maintain form, until they are strong enough to do the forms and then they should do it properly, like seriously tho these people wack.

@Otoopa completely agree if that were the case but it’s up to everyone’s responsibility to find the right gym.

Dismissing the whole sport is not necessarily the right thing to do, instead it should be to find good coaches and boxes.

@@flynnkelleher9485 Completely well said. I do crossfit. My gym mandates 5 personal training sessions before joining the full gym. Then when you join classes you usually never put weight on the bar, and it's emphasized that you should push yourself, but it's just a workout. I see the vision of crossfit where I go, but each gym will be different. Seeing the clips in this video made me physically recoil. Especially that one clip where the guy attempts a clean (I think) and his buddies keep egging him on when he's completely lost all midline stability or any kind of control. That's just unbelievable.

@@flynnkelleher9485 It doesn´t really matter which gym you go to, as long as the kipping pull up is seen as a legitimate excercise that can be done in competitions. Or a hand stand push up where you kick up with your legs next to a wall. Or a kipping muscle up (that´s not a gymnastic bar kip), which not only isn´t a strength move, but it looks pretty shitty as well, unlike an actual bar kip. If the competitions only allowed strict form with no kipping (on strength moves), it would a legitimate competitions, but atm, it´s only about who can cheat the most efficiently.

[@ianstratton1629]

Fair argument. There’s more to it than just kipping pull ups. Yes I’ll agree it’s a lot less “exotic” and the gymnastics movements are elementary at best. But gymnasts don’t run distance, they don’t bike or row for calories, they don’t practice much barbell work. There’s been plenty for me to learn and get better at. My barbell coach was a New England record holder for Olympic lifting and is super critical about form too. As for the “exotic”/calisthenic factor, I still do my strict gymnastics strength on the side. I use HIT and CrossFit for my cardio because running alone is boring. I still do my strict bodyweight work on the side too. I still have my cross at 30 :)

@@ianstratton1629 Oh, naturally there are, I just couldn't think of any other crossfit-specific examples.

I told my friend that CrossFit should end. He replied, "Subz, are you crazy? I'll be out of Business if that happens" My friend is a Chiropractor and Physical Therapist that runs a great Practice.

I’ve been doing CrossFit for five years now and I will be the first to say that butterfly pull-ups are one of the dumbest movements I’ve ever seen

[@thebus3181]

The goal of CrossFit is to train. Other sports have a goal that requires training.

I think the competitive aspect is the biggest problem. You can work yourself to failure using proper technique...you'll just get less reps to write down. Start making a competition about reps without enforcing strict technique and you'll get horrible things happening to max out the board.

Ive been doing CrossFit for 7 years now. Now I need back surgery and possibly shoulder surgery. Ive had severe sciatica for almost a year and almost took my own life because of it, because my pain was literally at a 9 alllll freakin day and night no matter what. This program WILL get you fit, however, I also did what the CrossFitters made fun of me for for years doing my “vanity lifts” (doing curls, bench press and so on) so I looked how they wanted to look and could even lift more than them because of it. Ive legit had rhabdomyolisis also, diagnosed by a doctor after pissing dark brown and feeling like death for a few days. Now I do CrossFit “cardio” but the lifts are dead to me. I’m done destroying my body even though man I felt strong as hell while doing the whole regimen. If you are looking into CrossFit, do the cardio, but skip the lifting please.

[@cabrondemente1]

Even the "cardio" is dangerous on it's own, jumping on boxes will slowly destroy your joints. Just avoid crossfit, there's dozens of other sports that'll get you fit without endangering yourself.

There’s a CrossFit area in my gym watching them flop around the bar claiming it’s a pull up never ceases to make me laugh

Watch the video and this will be explained to you.

The strength and conditioning coach at my school did cross fit with a few other gym teachers so we’d have a CrossFit unit (only in gym classes you sign up for, not mandatory ones) but they understood and preached things like “proper form” and “you’re just kids don’t let your ego kill you”

I watched a documentary about the CrossFit games, one of the Australian competitors, Tia Toomey, was asked to joint the Australian Olympic weightlifting team after a coach saw her snatch at the CrossFit games and she competed in Rio. Having said that, the competitors didn't appear to train in CrossFit gyms, they seemed to do a lot of various types of intense exercises and appeared to be incredibly fit. I know a few friends who do CrossFit who are both pretty fit and athletic, and they don't bang on about how they do CrossFit all day long. With a lot of "fringe" health things, like CrossFit, keto, paleo, I think they attract a certain kind of person. I'm sure not everyone that does CrossFit is a lunatic out to injure themselves, but that kind of person is more likely to be attracted to CrossFit than other forms of exercise
