> You're serious? I've just made tons of statement about what I really experience going to a real CF box.
Your statements about what you "really experience" have all avoided saying anything that lets anybody find out anything about how you actually exercise or what Cross Fit actually is.
If you're interested in which exercises are in CF, you're welcome to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossFit#Programming_and_usage
and there are of course many other sources. I can attest to the fact that these exercises indeed are performed in CF.
If you're interested how typical day in CF gym looks like, it's usually:
1. Warmup, including usually a 400 m run, stretch & mobility exercises and some light work like jumps, pushups, bear crawls, squats, etc. It varies significantly, the coach defines it.
2. If lifting exercise is in the program, stage by stage walk through the exercise form, first with PVC or without any weight, then with empty bar or light weight, depending on type of the exercise.
3. Strength exercises, if programmed, like 1x, 3x, 5x sets etc. or sometimes something like 10 mins every minute on a minute mark or such regularly timed sets.
4. Timed or max effort exercise, usually with many reps but smaller weights, this one can take from 3 mins to 2 mins.
5. Final exercise - maybe 400 m or 800 m run, post-workout stretches and mobility work.
Of course, there are also other things happening. E.g. this is from couple of days ago, pretty elaborate one (numbers are prescribed for men/women):
One person working out at a time (i.e. each person does about 1/4 of it, and while others work, you can rest), on each set one group of two does a 400m run with 45lb plate, then joins the workout.
The whole thing takes about 30-40 mins (so in that day no other strength exercises) and I did it scaled - with 14 lb wallball and 75 lb overhead squat, but other people did it as prescribed. Hope it is helpful.
If you want some abstract answer to "what CrossFit actually is", I'm afraid I don't know how to answer this question because I can only describe my specific impressions, which were already discounted as "that's not real CF". Well, it's real for me. If you have specific questions, I'm in no way an expert, but I could answer what I have experienced.
