How do we fix modern day "lifting?"

Jesus christ what a qt
I really want to lick her eyebrows

Here's the thing. It's NOT better then nothing. It's in fact worse.

The numerous injuries and completely FUCKED UP cult atmosphere around it proves how evil it is.

Would rather a fat chick become a cardio bunny who watches what she eats then get into that fucked up bullshit.

>muscle growth occurs after lifting when it starts to repair itself from the "damage" of lifting
>hey let's not allow this by lifting more aka breaking the muscle permanently without rest

seems like a good plan

Why is she covered in dirt?

People keep saying cross fit is a cult.

Care to explain? No sarcasm genuinely want to know.

>how do we fix
tired of this meme, Veeky Forums has never fixed anything and never will
minus altering the timeline through memetic chaos magic, but that is not guided by intention, just chaos
kek wills it

>actually going to failure everytime

>lifting with so many meme sets that you can't even do a pull up the next day

get a good routine you faggot

crossfit isn't a sport... it's a "way of life," or so they say.

That means if you say you "do crossfit" it implies a lot of things. It implies that you pay large amounts of money to belong to an exclusive fraternity of sorts. You are usually well-to-do, financially. You are passionate not only about fitness but also alternative medicine and other new-age bullshit like Kombucha and chiropractic treatment. You are against fat acceptance and believe that ordinary people should strive to push themselves like athletes. You're VERY exclusive...

If you pay attention to it, you can easily see how it compares to an average cult.

I'm honestly not in the mood to point out how it suckers stupid bored or just plain lost in the world fuckers into it's fold and drains them dry while destroying their bodies.

But it's quite honestly easy to see.

Why are girls allowed to wear those little cute shorts?
Why can't I show my ass like her?

>adapt their own language and terminology, e.g. calling gyms "boxes"

>charge more money than everyone else and in order to justify it subscribers usually do adapt the ideology that comes with it

inb4 any no "true scotsman" arguments

I have a DYEL friend who recently just signed up for Crossfit.

On one hand I'm glad he's getting into fitness

On the other hand I don't want him to visit snap city

wat do

also like in any true cult, the founders don't even do crossfit

also I tried hard to steer toward our free (and huge) school gym but he insists on paying for crossfit

He's bought into the whole fad

This is Crossfit.

Before you hate keep in mind he's the founder of Crossfit and is deadlifting amazing 460 (four hundred sixty) pounds.

>when I run around the gym bothering everyone people always cheer me on shouting "come on"

>I'm pretty sure part of the reason CrossFit is do popular is that it's expensive as fuck

There might be some truth to this. Of course there's enjoyment to be had in sports such as golf and cycling but they definately have some status attached to them because of how much goddamn money you can pour into the sports.

Lifting has always been a poor man's activity but expensive cross fit classes have finally caught the attention of the upper-middle and upper class.

>strong, well-balanced core for doing 4pl8 diddly
Your loss

Crossfit HQ really need to delete this and all the old shit on their channel promoting similar memery.

They would first have to realize that something is wrong with it.

That is a hgh gut nigga. No amount of lifting will give a natural woman a core like that.

>doing so much damage that you can't recover from it by the next day
Found your problem, high frequency medium intensity/volume is literally the goatest way of training of them all

You can't do anything but make him talk.

Don't tell him your opinion on Crossfit thinking it'll convince him, don't show him any injury statistics thinking it'll convince him and don't show him articles displaying a stranger's opinion thinking it'll convince him.

Ask him questions and get him to talk about his reasoning as to WHY Crossfit is what he's doing. Ask him about his fitness goals, why his fitness goals are what they are and how Crossfit can help him get there. Try to wring out every little detail as to what made him decide to do what he's doing.

The only place you can inject your opinion is asking questions to confirm something like "It seems like you're trying to get in better shape for health reasons right?". Make sure to confirm pretty much every little detail for his logic and walk you through every little detail.

If you can't handle keeping your cool when your friend says shit you know is fucking wrong don't do this. It doesn't matter what he's wrong about, if his reasoning is stupid it's going to become apparent to him it is when he's explaining his dumbass logic or misinformation. You're just trying to get him to go over the details that make his decision seem questionable.but even then he might not think his reasoning is retarded.

You probably won't end up getting him to talk himself out of Crossfit (it's possible) but the best you could hope for is that when he's doing Crossfit he's actively thinking about why they're doing this dumb, dangerous looking shit.

It's probably the ultimate irony that the kind of people who do CrossFit are also the kind of people likely to follow a diet that makes CrossFit even more dangerous than it alredy is.

The 'specialisation is for insects' thing particularly pisses me off, because they also claim to train 'like athletes.' Athletes who actually do sports train for extremely specific metabolic adaptations, so CrossFit is about as unlike to a real athlete's training as it's possible to get.

You mean this isn't a parody video? Jesus fucking Christ.

Why can't people just do normal lifting

this women is on some form of anabolics like any female crossfitter

Honestly, I don't understand how Rasmus Andersen haven't been knighted by the Danish queen yet.

Mourn

i find that hgh gut weirdly attractive. like i want to feel it up and then punch her in the gut.

Plus one for Socratic questioning

>You are against fat acceptance and believe that ordinary people should strive to push themselves like athletes
sounds like a good thing

ERRRRRRRRRMM LIKE ERRRRRRRRM EEEEEE SQUEEEEEEEEE

Exactly. Like golf, polo, sailing, etc. Part of the appeal of doing these things is to show that you can afford to do them

Crossfit is not about lifting, is about being seen lifting. Is lifting for the social media generation.

"We" don't.

The solution to the actual problem, which is you being this easily triggered by others receiving attention you feel entitled to because you think you're special, is to simply ignore everything that literally doesn't have a fucking thing to do with you and focus on yourself. You are the one the needs fixing.

>that Dave Franco face

I'm not seeing the appeal at all here.

She is only 5'5 m8.

Create a culture around a central authority, maybe a council of sorts, of people who know everything there is to know about lifting and can go into every imaginable detail on how to build muscle. It would need to be a bunch of muscular people as well so retards don't see what are essentially medical professionals and think "he ain't buff, he ain't know what he tombout. I truss a bodybuilda foh dem dumbass docta motha fuckas. Liff hahd, snoat creatine, eat a lotta meat. Das how you git big right der. Mah foobaw coach know betta."

Seriously, the common lifting dicktard's opinion of a man is almost entirely based on appearance. As such, we need figureheads who are both well-informed and jacked and strong as fuck, maybe some old mother fuckers with gravelly voices who say shit like "yer a fuckin pussy, that's what's wrong" or "I'll give you a fuckin reason to cry, you fuckin kid."

Wear a ski mask and beat the unholy FUCK out of him in a dark alley after every time he goes and fucks around at his crossfit fuckfuck party.

Also, make him read the sticky. In a dark alley, at gunpoint if necessary.
