Definitely with Noles on this one. I was the traditional weightlifting type then started doing crossfit because I simply wanted to be in great shape rather than be big and bulky. Crossfit combines functional use of muscle development while using an appropriate weight relative either to one's body weight or how strong they are. Crossfit has for sure kicked my butt into the best shape of my life. But if getting big is what you're into weightlifting is probably your safest bet.

we are not saying crossfit is bad. his arguments and that "its not even debatable" are ridiculous.
if you read my first post I was basically saying if you are into cardio and fitness crossfit is fine, but its not the most effective way to get stronger. Dude is insisting that crossfit will get you stronger than strength training...which is silly.
I would bet money Im stronger than you in everything, been doing cross-fit for 9 years just about
Including man to man combat which is all I care about really, especially when in the service
Being able to bench well doesn't do dick for you in the military
that is why we got rid of your traditional gyms for the most part, they still exist at some bases but are usually empty from what I hear

Please tell me how that is a terrible link. You do realize the guy that wrote that, Eric Brown has this to back it up. Never mind he probably made that all up.
Brown has a Bachelor of Science in exercise physiology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Science in kinesiology from the University of California, Los Angeles.
And I served my time in the military and I know that military has NOT gone strictly crossfit

What's with pissing contest? Everyone has a different physiology And responds to things differently. If you like cross fit then so be it. If you like weight training that's cool too. I like all of it and wish I had the time and energy to change my regimen daily or weekly.
To the OP I have read if you break your squats up to two different work outs it helps. I just recently started this. Monday I work legs and do a more weight less rep sets. Like 85-90% of you max 3-4 reps for 3-4 sets. On Fridays I usually start out with a set of 25 of just the bar and then add 10-15 pounds on each side. I try to make a set of 50. it has helped.
Change you regimen daily ? according to these idiots that is terrible for you, cause a link on the internet said so

By the way I can piss with a distance of 28' at sea level and hold steady stream for over three minutes.

I stand 6' 0", and round 180 but I can press 275 lbs. I can't exactly think of any scenarios where I would have to press that amount in reality. What I meant by functional strength is that when I crossfit, I mostly use muscles that I regularly use daily (legs, back, shoulders).
