I've seen many videos and have even read CrossFit.com's "what is crossfit" explanation but, I still have no real idea what it's purpose actually is. I'm under the impression that it's to maintaine strength and enhance endurance.

Would someone please explain what CrossFit is?

to burn fat and muscle off equally from what I have seen of the people who do it.

I know two guys who were big and muscular, who are know skinny ripped after doing CF for several months. A good look for picking up chicks, but not a bodybuilder look at all.

It's supposed to be functional strength and endurance. The workouts are actually pretty good, but they definitely aren't going to make anybody a champion bodybuilder.

some of the crossfit places have a multitude of garbage cans to puke into as a result of the intense training...think station to station...eg, weighted chins - squats combo to shoulder press - jumps to high platform..etc...fucking gruelling...good if you want to be a killer in a month, bad if you want to get huge...

All true.

The workouts are no joke. They will make anyone sick. If you are not getting half sick, you're probably half assing it.


probably good for mma

It has helped all of my fighters.

When I was in Iraq crossfit was all the rage. A few guys got me to try it with them for a week... probably the hardest workouts I've ever done. When they came back for me the next week, I told them, "Fuck you guys, I'm going back to the gym."
