Yes.

That being said, I'm not trolling this thread...Just pointing out statistics to point out how insignificant crossfit is...

oops, now I'm trolling.

Hey Guys,

Cross fit isn't that bad. Last month I joined a crossfit gym for $800 a month and had good experience. The owner explained to me that I had been working out wrong my entire life because in real life people do tons of box jumps then do squats in daily life.

After every class we took selfies and wrote FB status's about how bad@$$ we are. We might even go win the tough mudder next month.

I saw for the first time a Cross Fit championship. Well actually was just one event and was the ladies. It was segments of swimming with Pull-me-ups? (forget what they called it - only had to do 3). They all looked pudgy. Even the fastest finisher was a slow swimmer. The other ladies were dreadfully slow. They are not fit athletes.

Alert: "Ran into Rocko" is a troll. He wants to badmouth CrossFit. I trust the educated audience of LRC is smart enough to make up their own minds.

I made up my mind that xfit guy is too weak, slow and cowardly to race me.

He is not badmouthing CrossFit. It seems that he actually had a good experience with it. How much do you pay at your "box" each month Mr.CrossFitt Guy?

Xfitguy, you are unbelievable. Finally there's someone who seems as enthusiastic and as genuinely excited about Xfit as you, and you call him out as a troll. What makes you think he's a troll? The xfit supporters are outnumbered here. You should stick together.

99.99% of readers probably would have only guessed he was a troll if he had ended his post with "BY THE WAY, I'M A TROLL!"

Thanks for the alert. Are all crossfitters this sharp?

Correction, you saw a tiny part of the crossfit games on ESPN. Almost ALL of it was not shown on tv.

Most of it was shown live on ESPN. Everything else was available on crossfit.com.

Go to NYRR and try to find NYC Marathon clips. You won't. Because they don't care and no one wants to watch it anyway.

Ok, that is true whast you just said, but that's NOT what we're talking about. Espn3 is not a tv channel right? It's a webcast. The CF games had about 1 hr of live tv which was hardly even shown. The rest was all done on ESPN3 on the internet. So like it was said, track and field does more live tv than the CF games by far. Heck the Boston Indoor games has more live tv most years than the CF games.

I saw Crossfit broadcast and rebroadcast on ESPN for a week and for 1-4 hours each day of that week.

Did track worlds get ESPN coverage like that? Does 1-4 hours per day sound like minimal coverage like you tried to make it sound?

Are you mentally ill? do you not know what tv is, and what the internet is? You do know they are different things yes?

Yes I know what a TV is and that's where I saw crossfit being broadcast. And no it wasn't on ESPN3. It was on regular TV.

Troll? No he's not a troll, he's making fun of reality that is CF. Obviously it's not really $800, but the rest is true. They also preach false running technique, which just makes them look even less legit.

Lol. Moron. Even the Kenyans are running POSE-style nowadays. With great success, btw.

Actually the Kenyans aren't, 100% false propoganda spread by pathetic morons like you. And last time i checked the Ethiopians were better. Have you ever seen Geb/Bekele's form? Or Farah?

Pose is just that, poser crap. It's scientifically mentally challenged for idiots.

Incredible.

We have two trolls trolling each other.

This dude ran low 47 in college for 400 meters

3rd: Dan Bailey

Dan finished 5th at the 2010 Central East Regionals after just a few months of training CrossFit on his own. A 400-meter runner in college, Dan made the transition to CrossFit remarkably quickly. Dan has an impressive array of benchmark stats, including a 520 lb. deadlift, 2:19 Fran and 47-second 400-meter run. He was on pace for 10 rounds on Workout 11.1, until he started hitting his jump rope on a chalk bucket in the last minute. Rich, David, and Dan are all from the Central East region, which just may be the most competitive CrossFit region in the world this year.

If Webb got back to his previous weight and build, he would fvckin dominate the crossfit games, no question about it. I saw him bp 350lbs his senior year in HS, so his raw strength is incredible.

You can probably insert the name of just about any sub 10/21/45 second sprinter and get the exact same story....

I bet David Oliver would crush 99.999999% of crossfitters.
