Crossfit as a workout system is great, but I am an avid believer in the fact that Crossfit is not a sport. I guess you could say power lifting is not a sport either, but at least with power lifting I am only sitting there watching a guy do 15-20 squats of 800 lbs. not 600 squats over the period of an hour with 135 lbs. It's like workout NASCAR, the first few laps are exciting but once that 15th or 20th lap comes around it's time for a pee and beer break. Working out for the sake of working just eludes me and just because a guy can do a couple dozen of terribly formed pull ups and do a million deadlifts just say he is better at workout than others, I can appreciate the hard work but I don't see the sport aspect and while a lot of people are super awesome that do it, I can't go a day at work with out some crossfit dickhead coming through my line, telling me how much better crossfit is than any other workout system. When did working out become more about impressing others, rather than pushing ones limits and discovering new thresholds. With any systems in an social construction an asshole will surface, so I guess in the superficial world of fitness it is hard to just single out crossfitters.
