they hate it because of crossfitters themselves...... they're the vegans of the fitness world.

The rise of crossfit is due in part to so many mediocre white dudes needing a space to feel validated. Majority of them cats weren't athletic enough for conventional sports and needed something to make them feel special.

It's because alot of CrossFit enthusiasts are cult members basically. CF has also been found to be really dangerous, and the "trainers" they have pay $1000 to be able to open your own gym.

Memberships run from about $100 and up. You have people that have no business training people on dangerous Olympic lifts (dangerous because there is no foundation being caught). This has resulted in cases of Rhabdo (your kidneys basically shutting down), rotator cuff injuries, etc.

225lb clean and jerks for 45 reps? Fukk out of here.

Compound and Olympic lifts are great, don't need CF for that.

In a nutshell;

It's a combination of things imo....it was already mentioned but CF has a cult like fan base, just like a lot of other things people are passionate about. When a outsider doesn't understand it becomes annoying.

I've done crossfit for years and I was serious about it. I even attempted to make the cf games for a while, but you rarely hear me talk about it.

I view Crossfit as something similar to mma. It introduces you to a lot of different styles that when a specialist sees it they are like wtf because it isn't their norm

If I've never done crossfit I would've never been into Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, off road biking, etc...

:russ: Because they always too extra with regular movements. Other than that I actually like the CrossFit community. If you really want to get in shape. Join a CrossFit gym they cool af.

Breh, Crossfitters call their gym a "Box".... they're really out here trying to rebrand the word gym.
