Cult.
If you search a bit online, back in the early days there was a bit of rivalry between Crossfit and Gym Jones. GJ being the outfit founded by former alpine soloist Mark Twight, and they train military, climbers, athletes, etc.
One of the Crossfit founders went to one of Twights seminars. One of the exercises was box jumps. Twight told the guy "Jump up onto the box, step off. We'll see how may everyone performs in one minute."
So Crossfit douche decides he'll jump up and then jump off. He does this, Twight says nothing.
Everyone finishes, Crossfit douche says "Well, I did more than everyone else."
"Yeah, but you jumped off. The instructions were to step off after jumping up."
"But I did more, and faster."
"But you're form sucked."
"WHo cares about form, I did more."
"Well, if you're hanging off the side of a mountain, you better make sure you're paying attention to form or you fall and die."
"Yeah, but I did more."
And that is the essence of Crossfit, and why it fails, create injury and is a fucking cult.
