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

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
