You always say bodybuilder, I figured the natural bodybuilder look, not Cutler.

Big, but not bodybuilder big. Either way, aren't most Crossfit Gym's in the 200 range per month. I'd be interested, but that seems high.

I tried it and didnt like it. Its intense, borderline too intense. I ran 4 miles a night and lifted weights everyday, but something about working out until you throw-up and cant move the next day, doesnt appeal to me.

I have a friend now that has to go throught back surgery at 28 because he was doing Sumo Deadlift High Pulls and screwed up his back. He wont admit it, because he is one of the Hardcore Crossfitters, but I'm still lifting because I use proper form and dont over-stress.

But to each his own

This is one of my problems with it. Doing 100 reps on Deadlift and stuff like that seems like an injury waiting to happen.

Not consecutive, total, from my understanding. Might be wrong.
