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

    • I already got plug and play Link ecu G4X. Main concern is that the de loom works on s1 motor or not? I already rewired injector and coils loom to suit my bosch injectors and bosch vag coil. I’m not running any Iacv. For cas running the nz wiring kit i bought the neo plug one so it suits the wiring but don’t know it works or it doesn’t matter they work the same on every motor. For wastegate solenoid do i need to wire straight from ecu? What can i do for iat sensor to work or same run from ecu? For Vct solenoid, right now i got s1 vct solenoid on motor so do i need to remove neo connector and add s1 connector to work? Any other thing i missed i need to do to make the motor working on de loom. Any different mechanism on neo vs s1?
    • Yes I was planning to get it to a tuner with a dyno, but they told me to wait till September because the heat really started now and it is not ideal to do it in this heat.
    • Next week man, no rush on the postage
