Anybody crossfit?

A coworker of mine has just shown me a few crossfit exercise videos...they look like a great workout.

Are there any MT members with any "crossfit" experience? What do y'all think about it if you do it?

I did it for about a year, following the daily workouts on the website. There are some great concepts, exercises, videos and routines in there. But, I also had several minor injuries related to their workouts, which would put me on the bench for a week or so. Met Pukie a couple of times also - which I've heard is a sign that the body is getting more negative results than positive. Some might say my form probably wasn't correct, or something along those lines. Perhaps, but I need something I can do at home, by myself.

Anyway, I now do SOME of the crossfit workouts, and alternate them with other workouts I find. I got more gains in strength and size by doing this. With crossfit I had a lot of trouble breaking through plateaus.

I haven't used any Crossfit, but the BJJ school down the road offers it.

I never heard of it until I saw your post. The combative video examples are very cool. I like those.
I made some notes on several of their exercises that they demonstrate. I have no problem believing these folks are very fit.
Thanks.

I've been doing crossfit lately; mainly the workout of the day (WOD) to supplement my other training. I love it. The method totally kicks ***.

Here are some youtube clips of some cross fit people doing some workouts. "Julie" whoever she is, is a friggin' beast!

These don't seem like a whole lot, until you do them. These workouts will kick your ***, in a good way...
