I consider myself an athlete above age standards, but I did a crossfit workout and I was hurting the next day. I'm thinking about do crossfit training at some point to increase overall endurance and my ability to do plyometric activities. Would anyone suggest crossfit as a way to get ripped and more endurance in athletics?
 
It will get you ripped. People trash crossfit. But if you eat right you will get ripped. Diet is key though

Crossfit has a very high injury rate and a I see a lot of people getting caught up In finishing their WOD and use shitty form.
That's why I quit and I also felt like I couldn't put on enough muscle.

It's tough shit though

just depends on your goals. I am not interested in it at this time, I like pure bodybuilding and I think its poor etiquette when i see guys grab 3 bars off the press benches when there are only 4 of them and hog those bars up in the middle of the gym to do their fucking crossfit shit. and i wasn't the only person to get pissed because a few days later they put up a big sign saying "no crossfit allowed on gym floor"
 
If I ever did crossfit I would have to do it at a planet fitness. No one ever uses free weights in their. And I would like to get ripped, I'm feeling like I could still get some muscle on me.
 
^^^ you are young enough where you can do crossfit for a few years.. then do running.. then do powerlifting... then do bodybuilding etc etc. don't think you have to pick 1 thing and go with it.

i was a powerlifter when i was your age competitive meaning i had to make weight, then i was a runner competitively then i became a gym rat between PLing and BBing.. and now i am finally transitioning to just BBing in my mid 30's and preparing to compete.

so yes try it out and see how you like it and go from there.. who knows i might in 5 years decide to do crossfit?
 
Lol Steve what you said about fucking crossfitters using 3 bars. We got an asshole at our gym that does that

I like the idea of weights as cardio and I do a lot of the bodyweight exercises as home.
 
I think crossfit has its place but I don't like to combine cardio and weights. I find that both suffer when I try to do that. When I do cardio, I focus on cardio HIIT style and is very effective. Then later, pure bodybuilding weightlifting. But I am not into sports or athletics.
 
I know this thread is pretty old lol but I thought I might ask if anyone has tried crossfit with weight lifting? I've been starting my workout with 4 rounds of crossfit then heading to the weight room to work on whatever muscle group I have that day and then returning to the other room for one last session of crossfit. I wanna put size on but still keep up cardio a bit and stay lean. Didn't know if anyone else had experience?
 
I have actually and it's not my type of lifting

The reading I have done on cross it is all good besides the fact that it is in the top of the list with sports and the highest injury
Some might disagreed but the statistics prove to be the case
Lots of high reps volume hitting the same muscle day after day with explosion and speed..

As u see in the crossfit games the joints take a heavy load on lots of the lift

I am bit on the standArd lifting throw some active rest i between sets and ur good to go!
 
Ahh I see what your saying. I have about 1 year of dedicated crossfit experience. So my form and diet are on point. I see many people lose form towards the end of the workout due to fatigue. I'm going to keep up this routine for a few more weeks and see how my gains turn out. I wanna bulk up but with the least amount of fat possible and other than having a good diet this is the only way I see that happening for me.
 
Yea most crossfit pros are jacked

When u watch the crossfit games it is impressive
What are u stats just out of curiosity ?

And what are u goals?
 
I'm 6'1" 196 with 15% body fat (that's just an educated guess on the bf)
The past 5 weeks I went on a big carb loading diet to gain weight but now I've cut out the carbs a good bit.

Bench press -250lbs
Squat- 285

I'm really into calisthenics more than I am weight lifting. I lift weights mainly to build size. So my goals are to stay at about 190 lbs and lose 4-6% body fat. I know I need to get my bf measured and I will next week.
 
Yea I agree with the bf 15% is at the top end for me I don't go past 12 when bulking

I always use leg days for my best cardio work I hit two times a week heavy heavy but high reps

Example is 250 for 25 reps on squat will burn some real cal!!!

When I do regular squats it's 405 but I go for high reps with heavy weight for my cutting protocol

Just hit legs today 80 lb dumbbell lunges for 30 reps if that does not get the heart rate up idk what will

I prefer those kinda lifts over crossfit more of a bb style with high reps for me it's better than the explosions

Next time u hit legs try 225 for 25-30 reps see how u like it it's lower than ur max squat so should be good !!!

Just a tip
 
Wow just reading that and I already feel the Burn 😂😂. I'm definitely doing that this week on leg day. Thanks for your advice bro. What's ur diet like? You say you stay under 12%bf?
 
I'm currently on low carb 50 g
High fat moderate Pro...

I am shredding to 6-7% before I start my bulk regimen April 15

Currently 8% about 199lbs

Tomorrow is chest just got off the phone with my training partner we are hitting bench 185 lbs 100 reps before our chest lift will prob knock it out in 12 ish min we train heavy high reps two weeks on and then hit two weeks drops and two weeks supers we keep it switched up

When u hit lifts like that the after burn is wicked crazy
U stAy burning fat long after the lift the intensity is wild no need for hours in the gym u should not be able to go past 40 ish min that's how I lift in and out of the gym dead but loving it !!
 
That's a great way of training that I have yet to try out. I'm definitely thinking about incorporating that into my routine. I just started my low carb diet so it would be a good time to start. Do you sacrifice muscle mass when doing such high repetitions?Thanks for your advice bro!
 
Honestly when ur weight is heavy it won't sacrifice mass

I keep bcaas between evey meal

But the point of that high rep training in not to use it everyday it two times a month maybe three and the point is knowing u can't do all 100 straight u can get like 50 straight then need to knock them out by 10 or even 5 reps with a spot

Check out mike Rashid overtraining

They have a wicked drop see barbell 200 rep and a 100 rep db challenge

I have been training that way for a wile now it's a good switch up to keep ya burning and tight

Some of my lifts are 25 min but I get more work in and feel like ima puke at the end !!

Here is the drop set



Copy this and paste it into YouTube

I did this with 5 lbs instead of 10 lbs
Crazy pump
 
It's high rep bro but heavy it's making ur muscles work like crazy ur body won't wanna give up muscle knowing it needs to
Complete tasks like this
 
That video was great. I checked out a few more of his vids. Overtraining is something that I feel like I don't do enough of mainly bc I don't always have a spotter when it comes to things like bp and squats but I'm definitely going to give this a try. I wish I could afford a trainer to give me advice and training like this but that's why I became a member here to get the advice from you guys. Great stuff! 👍
 
Let me know if I can help anymore yea training partners are key

I have had many clients that I trained in the past that we're having trouble and the key is going past failure !!
