Any other Cross fitters out there? Any suggestions or comments on this way of training? Thanks.

It's ugly and you take a real beating, but you stay on your feet, keep chopping wood and come out of it one tough as hell hombre. Here's a sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV5GjyFRqQo&feature=related

It's all plyo... calesthenics... and a few weights. But when you get out there on your own and not on a team.......... everybody all of a sudden forgets the basics.

Meanwhile.............. don't be kicking sand on a boxer. Lunch city............ They spend half their day trying to eat right.

Captain Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 5211 Location: California	#15 Posted: 10/31/2011 7:56:42 PM Crossfit is an awesome workout. Downside is it's really difficult to do in a typical gym. Other people in the gym make it difficult to combine multiple exerices without being a douche bag. I have noticed some crossfit gyms popping up but their membership prices seem to run at double to triple normal gym costs. I'm not trying to drop $80-$100/month to do crossfit in a gym. I have watched some videos of people who turned their garage into a crossfit gym for a couple hundred bucks. It is a really good workout though, and really tough. I would love to do it more often but it's almost not realistic most of the time in my gym. Good thread.

I go to a gym for "structure" purposes......... but it's all bodyweight garbage when I get there. And I don't care if they laugh when doing plyo. Can beat everybody's behind in the gym and they know it.
