I do agree with you that some crossfitters have taken the notion of kipping pullups and applied it to all weighted lifts, and that is retarded. But it is true that at least with bodyweight movements, if you have to do something similar in the real world you're not going to do a strict hang version of it. You're going to use your whole body to do it. So there I agree with crossfit principles, but not when they tell people they can deadlift 50 or 100 lbs over their max by contorting their bodies. Certain lifts have to be done strict no debate. This is why I'm not fulltime crossfit member, the people who run the places get on my nerves after awhile. Crossfit is just a brand name so they get you to sign up at liscensed gym. Crossfit is metabolic conditioning training and it's been around in the military and in professional fighting for ages.
Agreed
