lol yeah it's similar to the idiots at my gym doing lat pulldown and swinging back/down with all their weight. They make every exercise a cardio workout, to the detriment of good muscle building technique...

Their not pull ups, its called kipping

Where most get confused is they think of Crossfit as exercise, its not, its a sport

Think of it as a sport and it makes sense

Think of it as exercise and youll remain confused

My best mate, some of you would've met over the years, does Crossfit & so does his Mrs (over 24 months now). As do a lot of others in the armed forces (clearance divers etc).

He isn't the most ripped person, but the strength/fitness the guy has is just absurd, very solid individual and for his size super fit... His Mrs has a body to die for, for you astehtics people. It can't be "too" detrimental :)

But indeed look at it as a sport and it does make more sense no doubt.

Course they are fit and have good endurance, it's all one big cardio workout. Also find it hard to believe its not exercise when they are in fact burning calories through physical activity (i.e. exercising), even if the goal is to be a sport...

+1 Dani lol.

Birds loves to troll.

the blokes i watched do the circuit at the Gym expo in Sydney this year were all fit and some of em had some decent size on them as well.

It's all an interest though

Also i laughed at their pull ups or kipping whatever it is.

Because Crossfitters are bigger size, and more asthetic.

So reason would suggest it's nowhere near as "detrimental" as one might think. I mean you are lifting weights in a lot of movements, not something like a tennis racquet.

I believe he meant AN exercise, not just exercise in general. Downhill mountain biking is exercise, but not specifically AN exercise.

I think it's the way they seem to substitute speed and frequency in place of controlled movements, looks like there's a lot more potential to pull muscles or cause hyperextensions on joints.

This...

And it's still gonna build muscle, like any exercise, but your time under tension suffers hard when you're trying to get through motions that quickly. That's what I mean by detriment to muscle building. I certainly wouldn't recommend the stuff to anyone trying to build a lot of muscle or strength.

Interesting discussion.

So birds, I gather your some sort of self appointed expert in all things strength?

In 2011 I held my ProRaw rep challenge.

Amy Dracup, who represented Auatralia at the World Crossfit games after winning her regionals, entered my comp.

It was squatting, benching, C&J and Ukrainian Deadlifts (UDL's)

Going againt her was Taylor Young, she has deadlifted 220kg, and my wife Nina, who has 16 WR in powerlifting. Both strong women, and Nina is really fit as well, there were also around 10 guys, same parameters for all.

The Crossfit chick went home with the $2000 cash prize.

Not strong you say. At 52kg she can C&J 72.5kg, yet shes fit enough to win Oceania regionals

Respect......and shes seriously hot

    • This is what I could find on Minkara which has at least something on pretty much anything to do with the Japanese car industry. Yoshikiyo Fuji president of Fuji Dynamics memorial service review in August 2009 (at the time of his death): https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/380062/blog/14461568/ The Fuji Dynamics drag R33 GT-R was revived in April 2014: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/781303/blog/32964763/ Fuji Dynamics drag JZZ30 Soarer: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/380062/car/287607/1548806/3/photo.aspx#title Fuji Dynamics BNR34 GT-R: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/300083/car/195676/609329/5/photo.aspx#title Plenty of Fuji Dynamics parts are still in use over the years on many cars, particularly the stainless steel exhausts, twin plate clutches and CPUs that can be seen in Minkara: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/search/?q=フジイダイナミクス&c=101&st=0 I also found a mention in Carboy magazine about the BNR33 GT-R drag car from 1999. It had all HVAC including A/C still fitted (A/C condenser and radiator were moved to the boot) and it ran a 9.7 sec quarter mile. Somewhat of a legend among GT-R and drag enthusiasts then and now. If you're wondering if it was a reputable shop, then yes it was. 
    • Are you guys familiar with this shop? Sounds like you might have come across Fujii?
    • @Rezz our resident japan guru!
    • Hey guys I’m looking to buy an r32 gtr and it looks like the shop who’s done some work on the motor was done at Fujii Dynamic in Japan. Looking to find if anyone is familiar with this shop since there not much info I could find.    All I could find was the owner has passed away early 2000s and had previously owned a 1000hp r33 for drag racing. 
    • GTR front looks good. If you don't like it, I'll swap you a rolling shell R33 for it. Give you a fresh base to start with.
