I've heard cross fit involves a lot of max rep sets with little to no rest (IMO no one should be doing until they've perfected proper form) between exercise, which is good for endurance. If you want to great stronger for all the hard work your doing there are definitely better ways. You will plateau eventually if you don't follow some type of periodization.
On the "max rep sets," you heard wrong. On the "little to no rest," kinda wrong. You can rest as long as you like.
