Why I Don’t Do CrossFit
Another article on CrossFit, written by Mark Rippetoe, a famous and influential strength coach, is here:http://www.t-nation.com/training/crossfit-the-good-bad-and-t...He makes many of the same points, but I find the arguments more persuasive. It's also interesting to note the arguments in favour of CrossFit.Finally, Mark seems to have completely different opinions about deadlifting; he regards them as a staple to strength training, whereas the OP "doesn't do" them for unknown reasons. I find the disagreement among professionals to be intriguing.
