I was thinking the rival gym across the street came over and challenged you guys to a flex off.

My mind immediately went to "someone shit out their intestines while squatting too much" This is why I'm afraid to do squats.

My gym added some of that stuff, but still retained all the free weights and most of the machines. The jumping platforms get some use but the monkey bars don't really. I've only seen one person on the monkey bars so far, middle aged bloke walked in wearing a dress shirt & pants, climbed up onto them, and then just...dangled for about two minutes straight. Dunno if he was trying to make himself taller or what, real f***ing weird.

Not clear on the whole story, but I believe the guy had just had some kind of surgery. Like a moron he promptly decided to pump some iron and ripped his stitches open. I remember hearing a scream and all head's snapping around-and there it was. Worst part is some real muscle head types started cheering the lunk on and he was getting ready to do another set with blood oozing out from where the sun don't shine. I hope someone at least set a bucket under him. The owner of the gym cleared everyone out pretty quickly and called an ambulance. Was one of the sickest things I've ever seen-and I've seen the unedited version of the Joe Don Baker movie Mitchell.

I thought you were going to say that your gym became a Planet Fitness.

I once saw a guy doing squats with blood pouring out if his anus. Your story doesn't phase me. Lol, this forum and anal bleeding...

If crossfit is done wrong, it is really dangerous, but so is basic weight training. I don't see a difference between how douchy crossfitters can be, and regular weight lifters. Regular weight lifting can be dangerous, but Crossfit puts an emphasis on speed that regular weight training normally doesn't, which increases the risk exponentially (and also why crossfit had the phenomenom of exercise enduced rhabdomyolosis). When you take the bad form of bad weight lifting and combine it with the speed to try to push out the workout of the day faster, then you have something inherently riskier. As for how annoying they can be, agree to disagree, I think CF tend to be a lot more vocal about it and how doing kip-ups makes them the most amazingly fit people ever.

It's a legit exercise or stretch as your spine will compress during the day & during weight lifting so it helps to stretch it bad out, plus it's pretty relaxing

It was just pretty jarring, seeing a dude in full clothing dangling like that, staring into the mirror whilst everyone's lifting weights around him.

It's also a type of traction, used often for people who have back pain due to the discs in the back or muscle spasms. Hanging upside down stretches the muscles out and seperates the vertebra, decreasing compression on the nerves in the back.

Dunno if he was trying to make himself taller or what, real f***ing weird. If he was just hanging still it's actually an amazing stretch on your shoulders and back. If you try to get your feet to touch the ground it's amazing on the lower back. If crossfit is done wrong, it is really dangerous, but so is basic weight training. I don't see a difference between how douchy crossfitters can be, and regular weight lifters. Regular weight lifting can be dangerous, but Crossfit puts an emphasis on speed that regular weight training normally doesn't, which increases the risk exponentially (and also why crossfit had the phenomenom of exercise enduced rhabdomyolosis).

As for how annoying they can be, agree to disagree, I think CF tend to be a lot more vocal about it and how doing kip-ups makes them the most amazingly fit people ever. Another thing is the complete randomness of some WOD's is dangerous as f***. I get the whole circuit training aspect of it of training different parts of the body, but some muscles recover slower or faster than others and it's dangerous to do one set of an excercises and do another that aggregates what you just did before. Also your body is way different from other people's bodies and I firmly believe in listening to your body more than doing someone else's workout schedule that was made for their body specifically. There's like a now 12 crossfit gyms in my city and counting and they cost about 170 bucks a month on average. There's a gym in my city that has been operated by a former RCMP cop for nearly two decades that focuses on circuit training and has equipment like crossfit for almost half the price. Apparently he's also more hands on, knowledgable, and the gym has a great reputation. Like I don't think crossfit is a bad thing in general and can be amazingly great if done correctly and the box is a well run box but the problem is it's overpriced and they focus more on speed and less on good form in group training.

Three crossfit gyms have popped up near here in the past year, and it's not exactly a huge city. Nevertheless, it looks like I'll have to try hanging for a bit next time I'm in there! I've just been using the like, reverse ab crunch machine to stretch my back out, served me alright so far, but looks kinda goofy. Mind you, I suppose dangling could look kinda daft too!

uhh why were you looking at his anus ? Not clear on the whole story, but I believe the guy had just had some kind of surgery. Like a moron he promptly decided to pump some iron and ripped his stitches open. I remember hearing a scream and all head's snapping around-and there it was. Worst part is some real muscle head types started cheering the lunk on and he was getting ready to do another set with blood oozing out from where the sun don't shine. I hope you were supportive enough to cheer him on too.
