CF is the gateway drug of the fitness world. It's one of the few fitness programs where you can come in with no real goals (weight, performance, competition) and find some success (improved fitness, other shit). It beats the hell out of the typical 3 sets of 10 Hammer Strength circuit. After a few months, a number of people decide that they like Olifting, powerlifting, etc. and leave the flock. The concepts aren't bad, but the kool-aid is just too much.ab g-d wrote:After a year or so most will either modify it beyond recognition it, scale it, or drop it for some other hardcore thing. A few will stay longer.
Yes, I did the CF WOD for a few months before getting into other pursuits. I still integrate the occasional conditioning routine, but my current interests involve moving large objects--animate or inanimate, it doesn't matter.
