[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is it will vary from location to location and from coach to coach. I feel comfortable doing Crossfit, but only because I've been training in various lifts for 2 years. I am completely confident in proper form and can hang with the best of them. Even so, [b]if someone told me to do an O-lift for time, I would tell them to kiss my ass.[/b] It's stupid, unnecessary and leads to an extremely high rate of injuries in the CF community. I trained two weeks ago with a local box a few days, but only because they have speed and strength component I was interested in. I saw one of their top athletes go down with a squat that was so heavy (no power rack) she sunk quickly her knees and had to bail the weight off her back. It was quite ridiculous. I won't ever be a CF'er because I can put together all those workouts myself and more importantly it's EXPENSIVE AS HELL!

All that being said you should check it out for yourself. Most of them offer a free week. You can get an excellent workout as long as you know not to do anything stupid. [/quote]

LOL, can we be friends?  I feel exactly the same way.  I rowed through college and after, and many of our weight workouts included Olympic lifting (plus many years of running, swimming, etc.).  It is NOT meant for cranking out as many reps as possible.  You need to focus on proper form every time, or you can easily get injured.  I love the idea of working out with a group, and miss my team sports days, but I just can't get past the whole "do as many cleans as you can" thing.  That's not the point.[/quote]

Sure, we can! As long as I don't have to hear you repeat over and over again that you don't want to lift a heavy weight and you don't want to bulk and that you just want to TOOOONNNNEEE! lol I workout in Alexandria  :) [/quote]
