crossfitters

CrossFitters are not training to be bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongmen, football players or sprinters, they are training to be CrossFitters.

She once confided in me that local Crossfitters form by far the largest percentage of her repeat customer-base.

The current generation of Crossfitters won't make much of an impact on the elite levels of Weightlifting.

And for an equally anecdotal counterpoint: look up Crossfitters and the paleo diet, of which meat makes up a key proportion.

People dislike CrossFit because elite CrossFitters are perfect physical human specimens and they're jealous?

There's no other obvious cause apart from millions of crossfitters taking it up.

I see more and more gyms opening either by former CrossFitters or coaches who do CrossFit-like exercises.

The only time I ever hear something about vegans or crossfitters are from people complaining about them.

Computer people talking about RSI often sounds like crossfitters talking about diet...

I don't know crossfitters, but everyone I know who uses rust loves to talk about Rust.

Why are Crossfitters get so incredibly defensive whenever someone criticizes them?

The people I know who eat the most meat are the Crossfitters around me.

The excuse of crossfitters to "just find a better gym, they aren't all like that" is inadequate.

Your agreement with the above poster about "holding CrossFitters in very low regard" is just as childish as the statement you're agreeing with.

That is the level of cult-like irrationality I am talking about: looking at statistics (such as the ones about much higher incidence of Rhambo in Crossfitters) and responding with anecdotal evidence like, "well, my experiences are very different!"

Aside from that, I'm a bodybuilder and I hold CrossFitters in very low regard - but the comment you are responding to is correct in the sense that "clean" foods make it easier to manage one's weight, even though "a calorie is just a calorie."

Some are likely Crossfitters, some likely aren't.

The quality of discussion on HN has fallen so far that we are now using anecdotal evidence to argue that doing a complex multi-joint mechanical movement with heavy weights in a high-rep, high-tempo fashion is not dangerous, and the burden of proof is on dem non-Crossfitters to use large scale studies to prove that it is.
