Talking about targeting the specific muscle groups through an excersize, you are 100% right. In CrossFit, events are usually timed, so it's important to get through an excersize as efficient as possible (i.e. kipping/butterfly pull-ups). With these techniques: Instead of using only their lats and triceps for the pull-up, they're using their whole body, keeping the intensity high and cardio up. It's not meant to be a strict pull-up, and comparing the 2 is missing the point of the excersize.

One thing I have noticed about this sport and watching some of the successful amateurs is they certain build you have to have. 5'10 to 6' foot any taller you struggle in some of the lifts. 210-215, if you are any lighter you struggle in the lifts, if you are heavier you struggle in the cardiovascular type events. Rich Froning is the ideal size and weight for crossfit to even have a chance. Of course his work ethic, stamina, and intelligence allows him to deserve what he received.

Workout normally, with a determined mind and you will accomplish your goals without damaging your body.

So many haters. Essentially, CrossFit is like a race with an obstacle course. The goal is to get to the finish line first. Don't compare CrossFit to how much you can lift or how strong you are because it's like comparing apples to oranges. Two different things. And referring bad form to kipping isn't entirely fair. Again the main goal isn't strength or aesthetics. However, doing the Olympic lifts with bad form is another thing, but based on what I see from the top tier athletes in this sport, they have some pretty damn good form. I'm not a fan boy. I just understand what their goals are and respect the amount of hard work they put in. I'm not ignorant.

I suppose that waiter is a crossfitter currently working on his speed and agility. You know, basically everyone, even you, is a crossfitter with or at a certain level of skill and component of fitness. Even though, Ritchie wins these competitions of high octane fitness level, there is nothing stopping you to find out for yourself how broadly fit you currently are. Fitness is broad,not specific. Xfit is the love on improving weak skills and fitness components. Remember you are a crossfitter too.

They have catagories: cardio;running,swimming,biking,rowing strength;oly lifts and major lifts along with some dumbell variations and kettlebell movements. Then gymnastics, burpees, muscle ups pulls up dips handstand walks and push ups. They always throw in something they know no one is training for to introduce variability, I know there was alreayd a ton of it lol, this year it was the pig a 500/300 pound box they had to flip 100 yards(men/women's weight and not exact i know) and the wall

I've always been of the belief that whoever the best decathlon athlete is at the time, is the fittest man/women in the world. Crossfit includes a lot of highly technical movements that are more about skill than about fitness. Just my opinion though. I do believe that the crossfit games winner is certainly a contender for the "fittest on earth" title. It all depends on what you consider "fit" to be.
