what is anyone's goal when partaking in exercise? And how about joining a club? Look at the CrossFit Games winners - do you think they've achieved nothing?
I don't partake in it, for the record. And I do acknowledge that many of the exercises seem ill-advised. But I made an account after like 6 years of lurking to point out that you're being pretty dogmatic in your criticisms of dogmas.
HN throttles your ability to comment if you get downvoted on a couple of comments. I could not reply so I edited my comment above, earlier, to respond to you.
I do think it's blatantly obvious that Crossfit is anti-intellectual consumer cult. They advertise this themselves.
It's a bit much to say every single person who does XFit is stupid, but I was sharing my own observations honestly.
Have you met any MLM people? Would you not say the same? Crossfit intentionally dismisses science and warnings related to potential problems with health and injury. Is that not unethical?
Also, all of my negative Crossfit comments seem to have been hit with the same exact number of downvotes here. I wouldn't expect it, but also wouldn't be surprised if there is some brigaiding here.
