Ha...that is too funny. I know someone very well that does the crossfit. I actually watched her do it the other day.

She did 1/2 mile sprint then right away go to 10 pullups, than 20 pushups, than 30 sit ups and then 40 air squats...and she did that 3 times in a row...wow what a workout. I think this is a great workout for women or people needing to lose amounts of bodyfat.

Hey, for you to say, "wow," then I know it'll be good stuff . . . can't wait to try it now. . . it's down to the finish line for getting that beach body & fat loss is #1 priority!! Appreciate!

LOL .... bodybuilder turned Crossfitter here!

I have been engaged in mainly Crossfit workouts since July of last year, and wish I had learned of Crossfit back in my early 20's (I am 41 now for those that don't know).

Crossfit's claim to fame is that it emphasis non-specialization. The goal is to achieve functional fitness over a wide range of modalities (strength, speed, endurance, balance, etc) vice the pure "in quest of asthetic" aspect of bodybuilding. For me, Crossfit has been a blessing.

I have been able to reacquire "balance" and "coordination" that has eluded me since a serious Car Accident / Concussion took place in Feb 2003. I have also been able to regain overall strength ... in some lifts (deadlifts 1 x 375, overhead presses 1 x 170, both hit at a bodyweight of 192) my strength levels are as good as they have ever been.

Now ... CF isn't for every body. If you haven't done any high intensity work in awhile, CF will leave you curled up in a little ball of hurt (and possibly vomit) after an intense Metobolic Conditioning wrkout (like the one Alex described above). With a proper diet, CF will get you cut up.

I just started doing crossfit workouts 3 weeks ago.... I love it!!!! It is the best workout that I have done in a while. My gym no longer offers spinning or kickboxing classes. I was getting bored running on the treadmill and lifting weights--and I was no longer seeing results. A friend turned me on to crossfit and it is great. I am exhausted after a 30minute workout!!! My entire body gets a workout and I am seeing results. I look leaner and after so many push ups my back is getting more defination. No two workouts are the same--a plus in my book, I love that it is constantly changing!!! I am deadlifting 135....now if I could just do the pull ups unassisted!!! LOL



I also use CFM and Oatmuscle!!!! Thanks proteinfactory!!!

This may be different for girls than guys, sorry ladies don't mean to sound misogynistic, but when I first started doing pull-ups, I could do only five strict ones. I was trying real hard to max the marine corps pft which requires 20 dead-hang pull-ups. The key is getting on the bar and doing them. I hated it at first, but it became an obsession and every workout, no matter what, the first thing I did was hit the pull-up bar. In two months I maxed that part of the pft. In another two months I was doing reps with a 45 plate. You can train your muscles to do pull-ups, you just have to work at it.

Everyone has me so psyched that I can't wait to try it. Working this wkend out of town, so if not in tomorrow's schedule, then definitely next wk. As always, love to hear fr my trusted family & friends @ PF.
