That's awesome man. I agree crossfit workouts are both fun and challenging. It's a good change of pace from the normal strength training and cardio routines. I guess I'm generalizing a little bit because not all crossfit routines and/or instructors will use the same methods. 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.

did booby day twice in a row this week because it just so worked out that Brandy could make it to the gym with me yesterday. I know you're not supposed to do the same thing twice in a row, but it felt good. Benched 185 10 by 3, which is better than I've done in a couple years, and my shoulders felt fine

So remember I weighed 193 about 3 weeks ago because I was stuffing calories? Well I trimmed down to a resting 186 thanks to a) no more of that mega calorie intake and b) stand up paddlesurfing that is a TREMENDOUS carido/core workout. Feels good man. Threw up 275 x 3 reps flat bench alone on Monday. Felt confident knowing I can do that alone.

And there are plenty of crossfitters who think that they are the gods of workouts. Does it work? Obviously. But so do lots of other workout programs. Some people prefer to segment workouts to specific muscle groups and concentrate on those. It's not "bullshit". Maybe it doesn't work for you, but it does for a lot of people. I don't hate on any kind of workout (except shake weight)...if it works for you, more power to you...do work son.

Werd, no hatorade here. My goal in working out is twofold: 1) to look sexy for phat, 2)to be in halfway decent shape. I accomplish #1 by doing the traditional weight routines... I've got a pretty decent figure just from doing this (and even half-assing it most days). I accomplish #2 by running, hiking & snowboarding. I'm sure crossfit would get both done in one fell swoop, but I don't like working so hard I feel like I'm going to barf. I also know that there are some days I have to take it easy due to a sore shoulder or neck. That, and I'm cheap. Like I've said before, every workout has it's merits, and if you stick with it, you will do good things.
