Although I actually understand Crossfit now - the whole competitiveness thing is as central to it as the actual exercise regime. Got it.

I don’t like it, but I get it.

Boring response but there’s surely a myriad of ways to sculpt the body that don’t involve squeezing loads of reps into a short amount of time.

I’m with you on the assuming they’re bullshit. But I’m getting to the point where I’m almost as annoyed by the anti-diet people as the diet people now. It’s like with Richard Dawkins and that, yeah you’re probably right, just fucking get over it.

the more decrepit I get, the more I am at peace with this. So so weird, folk.

This man at work regularly goes “nah I can’t, I’m training” and at least once a week someone goes “training for what?” and he’s like "nothing, i’m just training"
BUT FOR WHAT

Yes. Great analogy.

Haha, yeah. Training. I always make a point of calling it ‘Keep Fit’.

“nah I can’t, I’ve got Keep Fit tonight” sounds way better.

Might start making stuff up.

I’ve got SlamCrush tonight. Oh you don’t know about SlamCrush? It’s basically the same principles as Foxxxercise but with a focus on drop gains like in Yamtambo.

Oh it’s just named after him isn’t it. How disappointing. I was hoping it was going to be a fitness regime where you sprint under hedges really quickly whilst howling at the moon, followed by a quick dump in a flowerbed and then a nice healthy chicken supper out of a bin.

mark me down as a member of the ‘i didn’t realise this wasn’t just using a cross-trainer for a bit’ club

that video @xylo posted is not real is it?

The person I know who is most into it, who is similarly a girl who seemed to just become ‘fitness’ obsessed overnight and is now trying to become an instagram celeb out of it, broke her wrist doing crossfit the other day. Imagine breaking your wrist in a gym.

Anyway she carried on going to the gym in a sling and carried on instagramming it.

Yeah the underlining principle of crossfit seems to be do shit as fast as possible rather than focussing on technique, which just seems a bit crazy

Reebok pumping hundreds of mios of $ into it every year though so
