This - traps are too easy to build for me - naturally big as well.

Same here bro. Got damn cobra out here. Having to put in extra work on my delts to balance. Feels like I hit traps on every damn exercise. Always retracting that scapula.

Such a “bro” comment.

Prove your statement with facts.

Mind you, I’m not a CrossFit advocate by any means.

Crossfit decreases testosterone in men. Your estrogen levels will increase.

That is a fact.

But what do I know? IM only a sports scientist that studies for a living.

 

[mplsdunk]

Does anyone even do CrossFit anymore?

Seems like they all got injured and moved to kickboxing.

Isn’t it a fact that decreases in testosterone can happen via alcohol consumption, stress, lack of sleep, etc.

I’m not saying CrossFit is the way by any means, but the oly movements seem to be looked at by the stringer “bros” as “CrossFit”.

I just find that notion funny.

 

[bwood056]

And also fat mass leading to test drops and estrogen rises.

Some people should focus on losing the fat

Oly is the most impressive lifting ever to me.

There’s this little dude at my gym. Like my size who competes in Olympic. 4 plate front squat for reps. 2 plate ohs. He’s strong af. Never seen him max out but I’m sure it’s crazy.

Also too much test can lead to your body producing estrogen...

 

[DonRafa]

i’m curious to see as to why he says that testosterone decreases. because of the rise of cortisol? also how does it compare to people who workout 2-3 hrs a day 5-6 days a week?

They'll find a new fad and start shoving it down everyone's throat again.

Just like that contingent of yogis who started doing yoga with baby goats.

 

[isyouserious]

Absolutely not saying people who do it aren't fit or athletic but....

 

[bwood056]

So many gym fails Across the board with training

 

[m boiz]

Man I say one thing and look what happens

Gotta love how sensitive you guys are.

The 2 pictures you posted are my facts. You started crossfit and lost all your gains. Damn shame.

Also crossfit and olympic lifting are two totally different things, you must know some real idiots if you hear people confusing the two.

I’ve lost all my gains?

Lol

Different direction - cutting on a calorie deficit.

I’m still waiting to see any pics of you.

Last time I was popping in this thread years ago you supposedly started your diet.

I better see 8% body fat from you.

 

[mplsdunk]

I don’t think anyone is confused as far as oly vs CrossFit goes.

Oly just naturally came up

Na, I knew his comments were directed towards me.

Never even stepped into a “box” in my life.

I just love doing oly lifts over power lifts like I used to.

I accomplished everything in powerlifting that I wanted.

If your fitness journey doesn’t change and take you in new directions playing with your body, then I feel sorry for you and you’re stuck.

Some people still do the same 4 movements that their bros do.
