I wonder the same thing. I know the crossfit folks can tend to get a little culty, but I think that's excusable by their sheer enthusiasm for it. Otherwise, their workouts are freaking hard. I really wonder how many critics have actually tried crossfit-style workouts for a few weeks before sounding off about it. Sure, if you're training for competitive powerlifting, it's probably not your best choice. But then, I think the crossfit people would readily admit that.

I think 6 months ago, I would have found the wide array of things they do a little bewildering, and maybe even counter-productive. Now, it's a great way to mix in new stuff.
