If you want the most effective, efficient, and fastest way to injure yourself horribly for life, crossfit is your thing.

Post gifs, jpgs, youtoobs, whatever of people hilariously failing at crossfit in this thread.

In before the sporadic Crossfit defense crew goes

"But but but the women are hot therefore Crossfit is good!"

or some variation of how exhausting their crossfit workout is while completely ignoring that proper form and doing actual exercises would be more effective, safer and healthier in the long run because their entire fad lifestyle is based around "Well we get results!!"

I could probably have fantastic results for a diet if I ate only sunlight, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Today I made butter coffee by making coffee and throwing it in a blender with butter and coconut oil.

For real though you can just lift weights normal and run on a treadmill. Your joints will commit suicide eventually, no need to rush it guys.

I've really only had one close encounter with one crossfit person. Myself and another gym bro were comparing workouts and talking about various lifting/swimming BS and, totally uninvited, she comes over and starts telling us about how we're dumb and our workouts are dumb.

She continues to tell us how we "don't know anything about exercise" even though she's all of 22 and we're both twice her age and have been doing this for decades.

I believe it was the founder or some other pioneer of the genre who shaved a few mm off his lower vertebrae with a barbell.

The personal trainer i mentioned above had a client who broke his back doing cross fit, so she worked with him to get back in shape. Well he decided to ignore her advice and broke his back AGAIN. He went to her for help again, and she refused.

No pain no Gain means that if I cause myself horrific pain and discomfort I'm actually getting an even better workout.

I arrived at this decision by using my intuition you see. Because when you work out at the gym normally you get really sore. So obviously if you are ten times more sore you got ten times the workout

The lingering pain and loss of feeling in my extremities means I'm badass enough to handle it.

And to her point, I like what swimming does to a woman WAY better than what crossfit does to a woman.

I would think breaking your back really hurts and is probably something you'd want to avoid.

I mean we can make fun of the Crossfit founder all we want but he never has to work again due to selling idiots their own self inflicted suffering.

And before anyone dives i saying "oh hes successful so he must be doi sone right"- he used his connections to get money from 8nvestors, which he then used to promote aggressively. He also spends a bunch of that unearned money on a pr hit squad that will doxx and threaten anyone who criticises him or the company.

The whole thing is the triumph of personal connections allowing access to unearned money buying hype buying success while selling a lovely product the entire time
