I'm also a certified trainer under ISSA, so I believe my opinion is somewhat valid.
No, it means you signed a check.

Even the Marine Corps has adopted crossfit as their way of training. if you go to crossfit.com you'll notice most of the people are military and the events are held mostly on military bases. the military uses it because it maximizes the amount of endurance AND strength. I'm sure you're familiar with a lot of different fighters and how they train. Both Fedor and Anderson Silva train without lweights all together and are considered extremely strong by all their compeyitors. Fedor in particular does sets of pull ups followed by pushups followed by pullups followed by pushups etc etc as fast as he can in one giant superset. That is a form of crossfit. it's good for combat conditioning

Yeah, so because the USMC does it I guess everyone should? Ridiculous.
You're the reason why people hate Crossfit.

I'm not saying that at all. i just think it does work. I'm argueing the fact that it is a good way to train, not that it is the ONLY way to train.

Im a Marine so reading this post made me fucking sick. Sorry pal, but weve been doing gpp style shit for a loooong fucking time. What you really meant was that crossfit has adopted a Marine Corps style of training.
I was more sympathetic towards Crossfit till I read that T-nation article. I think the article was fair but the conlusion I drew was that there may be some specious reasons , I don't how to put it, other than getting better in a logical progression for the WOD. In other words is Glassman just pulling this shit out of his ass or is there a logical point to it that benefits the trainee? I'm not convinced the WOD has any planned goal to it and in fact I think now more than ever it is a total random workout just made up at the spur of the moment to post on a web page. A waste of time.
