there are some decent aspects to cross fit, but I think their overall low standards for training and teaching the lifts incorporated, combined with heavy use of complicated olympic style lifting at high repetitions in a fatigued state are a recipe for injury for many people. the real devotes seam to take pride in that fact. there are definately exceptions, and some affiliates seam much better than others when it comes to instruction.
i prefer a powerlifting type program personly, with planned workouts and progression, to the randomness of crossfit. But I can see the merits of the crossfit style for many though. All depends on your goals and personality. The real thing is just to find what you enjoy and what works for you, and move. Anything beats sitting on your ass bitching about how this or that is unhealthy. Sitting on your ass is unhealthy.
you know the saying, "cross fit makes guys skinny and girls hot"
