Crossfit has a strange language. I'm around crossfit guys daily and still don't know what the hell half the stuff they say is.

Crossfit is the ability to lose gains.

Crossfit is a good workout, anyone that tells you it isn't, doesn't know what they are talking about.

I do have a problem with it though. I've seen a ton of people get hurt doing it. Mostly from having poor form and trying to rush through reps as fast as they can, pretty much the name of the game. A lot of people I've seen get hurt are beginners, however I've seen experienced cross-fitters get hurt when trying to PR.

I love the idea of it though. To take a sport (training) and pretty much level the playing field in order to give everyone a shot to be successful (i.e. a 150 lb guy can beat a 250 lb guy in an event, even though he may not be able to lift the same amount of weight). The competitive side is my favorite. I use to CrossFit, but I decided to give it up and get back to the weights.

This. I see these noobs at the gym often and they typically stick with it for about two weeks, if that.

For everyone else...
