I'm with you Mark! Everyday I hear about another "fancy" routine. Crossfit seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. I can't for the life of me see what all the benefits are to swinging kettle bells around for example. What happened to the basics and just getting stronger. I have nothing against kettlebells really, they can be useful used in moderation but some of the programs make it sound like they are the greatest thing ever. Just seems to be the "flavor of the month", and will get some more people distracted from their current program. I am all for training hard, but working out until you die will not help with recovery. I suppose we should do dynamic stretching before Crossfit too, so we are more likely to get injured.
