Is that link WFS?

Shaun Frankson · 07-22-2009, 04:50 PM

Yes the link is WSF.

I always forget to put that in.

Matthew Kloepfer · 07-22-2009, 06:26 PM

Cool. I like that video. My favorite quote:
"Eat anything that had parents."

Brett Dartt · 07-22-2009, 07:09 PM

gee i wonder what everyone eats?

Shaun Frankson · 07-24-2009, 10:58 AM

Wow what do you think of the youtube comment somebody put for this vid

"alexinjapan123 (14 hours ago) Show Hide

I've seen it. They're basically slower than Elite Sprinters, Weaker than Elite Olympic Weightlifters, have less Endurance than Elite Marathon Runners, are worse in gymnastics than Elite Gymnasts. But they are Elite in being so-so at everything."

I'd call a well rounded athlete elite. Pro sports is a good example for that.

That is a really great video for hammering home what these guys eat.

Actually, that youtube comment is dead on. Even the top Crossfitter would be smoked if they were to randomly compete with trained athletes in those specific areas. However, Crossfit isn't about about being the best at everything, just being capable at everything.... which is a hell of a lot better in my view.

Actually EXACTLY what I was thinking. If you're training for life, then yeah, CF is great, because it's the best all around fitness program. But it puts you average at everything, basically what that comment said. CrossFit won't help you specialize in anything; that takes specialization, which CF is against. Some people like that, others specialize. It's all up to the person ...

I don't think that's fair. It makes you rubbish compared to someone who's trained specifically in one particular area. Compared to the general population, or your demographic peers, it should make you pretty good
