>>42858 >Did you do the thrusters/rope climb WOD today? I've got about 90 minutes before I get to the gym, wanted to know what to look forward to. I don't follow the official workouts; I either make my own, or do one from a random affiliate website. I find too much repetition on the official ones for my taste (eg. "Eva" is just a long "Helen" and "Tommy V" is just a messed up "Fran"). Drawing from a larger pool gives more variation, which is one of the points of the program.
>>42873 >I don't like crossfit because it's hard, so fuck you. I lol'd, but I know that many people have the same feelings.
>Unless you have a crossfit facility nearby or know people versed in olympic lifts it's rough to learn the movements I agree with this. I don't work out at an affiliate (they cost too much, though they provide 100x the service of the average 24HR Fitness), and it took me a long time to get going right. I should have begun doing Starting Strength for six months, then gotten into the program once I had a large strength base and knew the basic moves... Of course, I didn't, but I'm doing fine now.
>and if you don't have a damn solid foundation of strength and endurance the WOD's are impossible. So yeah, you can say go to crossfit but that's like telling a fourth grader to go to college to work on his adding, doesn't make fucking sense. If you go here: http://forum.brandxmartialarts.com/viewforum.php?f=16 There are three difficulties of the CF.com workout posted daily, though they give them faggoty names. Starting at the easiest level and working your way up is the alternative to beginning with a few months of Starting Strength. Unfortunately, neither of these approaches to starting are endorsed enough by CF Santa Cruz (the main one).
>>42884 >GG's sycophantic fawning over the SOF community also leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Agreed. Just do the workouts, leave the rest behind.
