As a former athlete I like the direction CrossFit took even though I have similar complaints to the article. I try not to paint all CrossFits as the same. I know a few that are exceptionally well run. I like that CrossFit got people away from the 1980's muscle-mag workouts--isolation exercises, i.e. everyone training like Arnold.
- matwood 12y agoFull body workouts, compound movements, etc... became popular way before CrossFit.
- defen 12y ago> everyone training like Arnold. Which is funny because compound lifts were a key part of his training repertoire http://ericsgym.com/arnoldschwarzenegger/gym_pictures/arnold_24.jpeg http://ericsgym.com/arnoldschwarzenegger/gym_pictures/arnold...
- newaccountfool 12y agoMany don't know that Arnold also competed in Olympic Weightlifting as well. He's probably very good because he started at the basics.
- decasteve 12y agoBut what was promoted in the early 80's, the workouts they would feature him doing, were not compound lifts.
