That pictures seems really sinister. He's pointing his finger as if to make a grave accusation, and his ghoulish henchman is leering in the background. Those people seem terrified for the most part.

Pick one:
They just realized they would be encouraged to vomit up the meager amount of food they eat, in the name of being ELEET.

They don't have cameras or knee socks - how will they be able to CrossFit?

They are anticipating SLAP tears from kipping pullups & torn achilles tendons from box jumps.

I'm thinking there's a Heart of Darkness joke in there somewhere.

CF promoters are something else, eh?

Next stop will be somewhere in the Middle East where a group of skinny men are riding their camels in the desert wearing turbans, gas masks, and “EEELLEEEET” pajamas, as the youngest son in each family is dangling from the camels’ nutsack doing kipping, and the wives are running alongside the family camel pulling a rope, and the husbands are shooting their AK-47s in midair yelling at the top of their lungs, ”Praise be to couch glassman. YALALALALALALALALALA!!”

Kenyans would have a hard time eating paleo give their diets typically rely heavily on ugali.

Is it just me, or does the guy teaching the squats have really small legs in comparison with his body?

(Not that that's the only thing wrong with the pic, but others have already pointed that stuff out..........)

EDIT: There's seriously something fucked up about his legs. Goddamn........

Interesting. It will be fun to watch and see what happens.

Whats wrong with crossfit?

Well it's just plain silly! It's obvious that it will NEVER catch on and gain a following. Who in the world would ever want to develop some strength, some power, some cardiovascular fitness AND lose body fat at the same time? HA what a joke.

I have no idea if this is sarcastic or not, but this line of argument is fallacious and it always bothers me. It reminds me of when someone criticizes an aspect of e.g. Christianity, and somebody replies "What's so bad about loving your neighbor?" Of course nothing is wrong with that, but that isn't what's being criticized, and just as it isn't necessary to be Christian in order to love your neighbor, it's not necessary to do CrossFit in order to train multiple aspects of fitness simultaneously. Cross training was around long before CrossFit, and it doesn't require doing a lot of bullshit CrossFitty stuff.

Also CrossFit methodology has no special advantage where fat loss is concerned, especially if you're trying to gain strength at the same time. I look the way a lot of CrossFitters probably want to look when they start CrossFitting, except I'm actually pretty strong and I don't waste time or injure myself doing a bunch of unnecessary CrossFit bullshit, nor do I follow some goofy overly-restrictive diet.
