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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
