    What is everyone's opinion of Crossfit? It seems to be all the rage at the moment. I can see it being OK if you know what you're doing and utilize proper technique, but the fact is most people don't and they end up fucking themselves up pretty bad. Case in point....

    PS: Some of these clips likely have nothing to do with Crossfit, but most of them clearly do.

    TBH, I hear the phrase a lot but I'm not too confident of what it is, it just looks like circuit training from what I've seen?

    i don't think i'll ever outgrow the joy of watching stupid people hurt themselves. i think the main recurring theme of this video was that you should really use a spotter for a lot of lifts.

    i don't really know exactly what crossfitters do. i know people that do it, and i have a rough idea of what they do, but not specific enough to have an educated opinion.

    It's kind of cultish, but I don't really care how other people choose to workout.

    That video also mocks a special-needs woman, which is kind of low class.

    I'd love to pay 120 dollars a month to go to a crossfit gym and do 900 kipping pullups a day.

    nah jk whatever floats their boat.

    One of my friends is like 100 pounds and she learned to deadlift over 200 pounds at her crossfit gym.

    I think it's pretty stupid but whatever gets people off the couch and being active is fine by me.
