No, but people who say it is ineffective have almost certainly never done it and are wrong. And there are plenty of people who hate on it that are in shitty shape yet insist that they know how and how not to get in shape.
And equipment that a Globo Gym won’t have, like kettle bells, ropes, olympic bumper weights, Olympic lifting platforms, a legitimate pull up bar rack… the list goes on. Some shitty gyms won’t have rowers or med balls, for other examples. Hey, stick to doing curls in the mirror though bro. Maybe get in some leg curls too.
I’m one of the most avid Crossfitters you’ll find. But unless I’m talking about working out with guys I actually work out with I mostly keep it to myself. I admit that people who post CrossFit this that and the other are super douchy. A sub category of those people are CrossFitters who have literally no other known hobbies, like, do it every Saturday and Sunday too. That being said, it’s the best way to get in and stay in shape as a professional, period. It’s proven science and an incredibly efficient use of 45 minutes to an hour. As far as people getting off saying the trainers aren’t real trainers–what’s your definition of a real trainer, some muscle head that teaches fat 40 year old housewives how to do curls in the mirror? As far as the comment about real sports I feel fairly confident I accomplished more playing for a top 25 9-10 win division I football program than they have, so I feel like my opinions regarding effective ways to work out are somewhat validated. So while I agree that the culture can be douchy, it’s a legitimate workout. If you don’t want to try it, continue to be fat, nasty, and sexually unattractive to the opposite sex.

Law school has even more of an entitlement culture than millenials in general. People want to be congratulated for taking the LSAT, then congratulated for getting accepted into a school or two, then congratulated for enrolling, then coddled for studying for finals, then congratulated for completing 1L, congratulated some more, coddled for studying for the bar… you get the point.
We aren’t equipped for the snow the same way you aren’t equipped for hurricanes. Case in point: the northeast turned into f***ing Fallujah during a hurricane that we would walk our dogs in.
Why girls attribute quotes to Marilyn Monroe (skank, drug addict), many of which SHE DIDN’T EVEN SAY OR ARE COMPLETELY MADE UP to justify drunken slutty behavior is beyond me. Posting a Marilyn Monroe quote is an automatic red flag.
Spot on. Except for the not getting paid part, it really wasn’t that bad and was actually pretty damn fun. I’d add #11: three more years of intramurals; and #12: being able to budget your time and workload how you please.

Zero SEC towns. Hell, zero towns in the deep south at all for that matter. I could go on, but I’ll just summarize: what a garbage ass list.
Perfect. Simply perfect. Thank you
He sucks so bad, but you had sex with him for 2 1/2 years….
This. Performance may fall off some, but an empty gym at 6 am is absolutely amazing.

If you feel like you can get a legitimate workout out of working out with 40 lb dumbbells, and body weight pushups and squats, you are a pussy

“Most likely” should read “possibly.” If you were that blacked out it’s highly questionable whether or not you could accomplish doing the deed.
Yeah, I’ve read articles that pretty much say the Olympics are giant orgies.
Probably not accredited.

I’m in that minority also. Do pretty much the same things, just have more money to do it with.
Exactly

#2: unless you have a younger sibling or cousin on the team, don’t go to those. Ever.
And yes, coach will always be coach. You don’t stop calling a doctor, “Doctor” because he isn’t yours anymore, do you?

Nah, scholly. Scholly for football in undergrad too so when I have a house note sized loan to pay back it will actually be for a house.
