it seems to be a very effective method of becoming a musclebound lump of beef - handy for hanging round the park taps off and getting sleeve tattoos, but not much use if your a cyclist

Actually the joke is;
Crossfit; turns women into men and men into women!
It has been established that the biiiig, top crossfitters (such as Froning and Klokov) don't train crossfit (as crossfitters do).

top crossfitters (such as Froning and Klokov)

You're confusing sports there, Klokov has never competed in crossfit and is a recently retired Olympic weight lifter (20yr career inc World Champion, Olympic medal holder). He is now making a living doing OL seminars (mainly in Crossfit boxes) and is coming to Scotland next month for a quick tour of a few boxes. He also has his own line in OL lifting kit, mainly targeted at CF.

One of the good things to come out of CF is the fact it has introduced 1000s of people to olympic lifting and as a result OL is having a bit of a resurgence. Our local Olympic Lifting League is growing 100% every year all fed by CF.

It's just circuits.

For anyone In Sheffield the fitness club is a small independent gym doing excellent t classes with great instruction. Since leaving Sheffield I've never found a gym that comes close.

Klokov is crossfits current poster boy. He pops up in anything CF related so please forgive me for not knowing he's not a CFer, but it's strongly implied.

Not implied at all, he's actually recently signed up to a team in a rival sport ([url= https://www.npgl.com ]NPGL[/url]) which pretty much means he's persona-non grata at CF HQ (they've threatened to disown other CF athletes who sign with NPGL, including getting one or two major stars to withdraw from NPGL).

Like I said, most people who slag off CF don't actually know anything about it!

I haven't slagged it off. And I've trained at two different boxes for a few months, so I know a lot more than most. Like I said it's fun, but nothing revolutionary and is more of a w@nker magnet than even most bodybuilding gyms.
WRT the klokov thing; it doesn't matter. They'll fall out and Glassman/Castro will slag him off eventually just they do with everyone.

I don't think Klokov would even notice. You obviously have no idea how big he is in weight lifting, he is a living legend.

I do know who Klokov is, and his accomplishments.
He still doesn't train crossfit (except for the cameras)

Really? Doing a random selection of random stuff has been fairly well established as being a good way of not becoming any different at anything.

I submit any musclebound beefcakes doing crossfit are actually bodybuilders on a holiday.
