Wrap your wrists with tape or buy these.....Originally Posted by SuperSaiyan415
Who else has dealt with wrist pains in this thread? i had to resort to exercises with pushing motions as opposed to pulling because my right wrist would hurt like hell.
You are talking to a man that has trained doing all the Olympic lifts for the past 10 years, so I know what they are about....they are done for power....hence why they are called power lifts....but, at the same time there is no problem with doing high reps with low weight. These lifts, for the most part, incorporate all the major muscles so with high reps you are getting a VERY good endurance work out....which is what cross-fit is....anyhow, I'm not about paying to join a cross fit gym...but I am about doing this the workouts myself at my local gymsOriginally Posted by wawaweewa
Go to any oly trainer and ask about doing 100 cleans or 100 snatches. Watch them laugh in your face.Originally Posted by Name I Koop
I'm sorry, but your reasoning is "basura". Compare a ******ed amount of reps to a specific sport....say a 400m sprint. What's the frequency of your legs turning over? It's a huge amount of reps. You usually run them within a time frame, the more reps, the better. When training for these sports, you over train your muscles and body...more reps, more time....more resultsOriginally Posted by wawaweewa

For the same reasons that marathons are trash.
Specifically when it comes to crossfit, the emphasis on time and a ******ed amount of reps when it comes to certain exercises is pretty stupid and dangerous as well as being unnecessary.

na,
The oly gym I currently train at has a level 3 crossfit trainer or whatever (comes there once a week because he knows the owner) and I tell him all the time that crossfit is basura.
Tell me again, why you think it's garbage?
Technical exercises require technique . Not a ******ed amount of reps all the while being timed. Some of the stuff they do is fine but the overall theme is garbage. It attempts to be all things and in the process just becomes average at most.
