Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I was listening to some of the big guys in the gym talk about different training methods, and the only thing they seemed to agree on is that "crossfit is for homos" I'm sure they were just being funny, but it made me wonder why all the hate? I know many body builders criticize crossfit and they say is for girls or homos, why is that? it's very similar to regular bodybuilding those guys push themselves very hard a every workout, so why the lack of respect?
who else thinks crossfit is for homos?

Crossfit at the professional level is no joke. Those guys are the definition of athletes. They are strong, agile and have insane endurance.
I think crossfit gets a lot of hate because it's the latest fad. A lot of people do crossfit because they think it's cool, not because they actually want to become better athletes. Those same people follow the latest diet fads like IIFYM so it gives crossfit a bad name because people think everyone who does crossfit is uneducated.
We had a professional crossfit athlete on the evolutionary.org radio podcast and he was far from ignorant. Very well spoken and very knowledgable when it came to diet and training. It would be a great episode to listen to for anyone interested in trying crossfit.

many bodybuilders do G4P and many like going to the shows and looking at muscular men in their underwear.
to me bodybuilding pagents are more gay than crossfit. if my son had a bunch of dudes on his wall at 15 with muscles in their underwear i would think he was gay (not that there is anything wrong with it)
but i do think it is funny those meatheads at your gym have that mentality, why would a man care what others do for fitness unless they were insecure themselves?
crossfit gyms are more hardcore then your run of the mill franchise gym these days for the simple fact is you won't get yelled at for doing cleans and dropping the weight.. try doing cleans at a franchise gym and see what happens... I love that crossfit gyms have no rules, you can go shirtless, you can drop weights. you can make noise. its way more hardcore

I think this is because crossfit is a completely different sport. Guys that lift heavy weights view themselves as more masculine and tougher than a guy doing crossfit.
