What is wrong with learning Olympic lifts from Crossfit gyms, then moving on and doing them by yourself?

I understand that the main issue appears to be not that crossfit is directionless and useless for strength, whereas Ross Enamait is wonderfully structured and awesome for strength development. Rather the issue seems to be that Ross can deadlift 500lbs. and Glassman probably can't and that Ross manuals don't promise to turn you into an animal. Now while this would be a stupid reason not to do crossfit, it certainly is a reason not to support crossfit, so I don't have much to say. I am aware of the fact that the people ripping on crossfit don't need to think of reasons not to do it, they're to fat to do it anyhow.

Ehh, for me its simple. Ross walks the walk. Glassman, is a fat overweight Napolean who can't even do more than two chin ups. Yes I verified that.. As for ripping on it for not being in shape lol. OK man whatever floats your boat. Would you go to a fat boxing coach? Personally I wouldn't. Would you take MMA from a fat out of shape guy? I wouldn't, fitness even more so is the point.
 
ut oh, nevermind I will continue to do my lifts incorrectly instead.

Because black/white, good/evil is so much more fun than sitting on the fence and saying "maybe" all the fucking time.

Fencepost = uncomfortable and bad for teh roids.

eh, the boxing trainer analogy is a poor one. The best trainers ive seen are the wizened little gnomes who have lived in the gym for the last 50 years or so. That or theyre middle aged but not necesssarily in great shape. Jesse Reid, Manny Steward, Freddie Roach arent exactly pillars of conditioning.

And ChaseT, fuck you and your YKK preference.

*throws up gang sign*

TYT!

For your crop to flourish, I should be an attractive specimen to appease the gods. You haven't seen pictures of me lately. It's a damn good thing I'm funny in person; I don't have much else to rely upon.
