Crossfit got a bad rep because the statistics for injuries in Crossfit was artificially blown up.
However, I still don't like it. Every strength sport like Strongman, Weightlifting, Olympic Lifting, Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Calisthenics, et cetera teaches controlling movement. CF teaches to move fast and with acceleration/swinging which makes it impossible to add genuine stimulus and progressive overload. Sure you can put on a vest, but it seems like a terrible idea as your mass increases and accelerating your bigger mass just increases the explosive strength needed to initiate, but not hold or eccentric muscle usage. Literally your only progression you can record is how long you could do the exercise over and over within a short time and that's all. Maybe repetition as well, but still.

The main problem with crossfit is how much useless stuff is shoved into the very small bag of actually beneficial exercises. If you want to build muscle safely, crossfit is not for you. 3 polyarticular exercises with proper form and high protein intake are the pillars of all muscle building.
People don't want to hear that. They don't want simplicity, especially when they start out because they think it has to be complicated and they want shortcuts. There's no (natural) shortcut to getting jacked. Consistency, long-term goals and solid 5-8 exercises total doesn't sell.

I thought the pull up question was about chest-to-bar (C2B) pull ups, not the different variations. If your gym is only programming C2B and not regular pull ups, they are doing the members a disservice. C2Bs can be programmed to give more advanced athletes greater challenge (i. e. you need more strength and muscle stamina to do C2Bs) but there's nothing wrong with normal pull ups at all. People need to master the regular pull up progression (ideally starting with strict) before moving to C2Bs in any variation.

Oh My Gosh! THAT'S CROSSFIT! I had no idea it was that intense and there were so many pull ups. I had a friend that did it and said she hurt herself while working out. She never went back. I didn't realize CrossFit is basically intro training to becoming a Navy Seal. I would rather take a gymnastics class than CrossFit. - - I just realized this is the sport where the racist CEO had to step down. The things that rich white men think is acceptable to say is astounding!

why is she addressing the arms on a knee problem on overhead squats?
oh, and yeah, don't do crossfit unless you just love the sport for the sport. like you love any injuries inducing sports like football, basketball, mma, well, pretty much all sports i guess?

I'm no Crossfitter but in Crossfit are you always required to be able to bench, deadlift, squat & power clean for more than 20 reps of weight that's 2-3x your bodyweight? I feel that's always the case in fact I feel that's one way to be qualified for Crossfit.

Gah! The editors for this video were not on point! The -thruster- clip was a clean & jerk, not a thruster! No squatting and a re-dip for the jerk instead of a push press that you do with a thruster.

Those butterfly pullups aren't more efficient at anything except wasting time.
Theyre efficient at preserving muscles while sort of looking like you're doing somethung

how can a butterfly pull up be more efficient in a workout than a regular pullout. This move alone is the reason why people make fun of people doing crossfit
