Sick of bodybuilding / weight lifting

Hi ya'll..



I was just wondering what else people find "enjoyable" instead of gym????????????

I am so fucken bored with growing bigger, lifting and the usual...

I was thinking crossfit .

give it a try. if your unfit you are going to "kak af". but fun when you get fitter.

think its personal preference really. if you tired of gymming then try something else...as for me I love the iron and love improving every time, whether it be strength gain or size gain. I love the feeling of shaping my own physique and whats involved.

My bro does crossfit and it seems nice, not for me tho.

Are you a competitive person? ie: Some kind of sport perhaps...
Did you play anything when you were younger?
Iron man? Triathlons?
Long ass hikes in the mountains?
Uh...
Hmmm...
Got a girlfriend?

Maybe MMA or some sort of martial art?

What about taking a nice long break? Also try getting in more time for your social life, also skipped that for a while and just gymed. I got pretty depro and just stayed home. What about squash?

I'm training for Ironman for next year Feb So yes, find something else then, I can't grow 'massive' anymore because of my health so now I need to get my teeth stuck into something else...

Bud CrossFit is an exceptional for of training and has an enjoyment level that far surpasses any sport I have ever taken part in. There are some fantastic Crossfit Gyms (boxes) in JHB. If you need any info I'll be more than happy to help you out. Just keep in mind that my opinion could be slightly biased as I am completely obsessed with the sport :whistle: .

With the recent collaboration they have made with Reebok the sport is about to take of massively around the world.
Just a word of warning, Crossfitters are pretty much anti anything unnatural so I wouldn't advertise that you're a juicer (not that you would anyway )

Let me know if you need any info

@Inja
As a kid I only enjoyed extreme sports.
Currently my new costly sport limited me to 4-6 times a years
due to lack of snow an distance.
No time or patients for a GF dude.

@crossfitninja
Please give me info . If you needs to mail it me..*****
thanks

@iMan
NO!! more time for my social life will leave me
murdered , if anything , I must calm down to a panic

Box, kick box, muay thai? If you like a contact sport

Cycle

I mix my gym up with a few things

Boxed on off for around 2 years. Popped my shoulder the last time.

Think I will be giving crossfit a go.

Extreme sports rock bro, also a lot of injuries though, what you doing up in the snowy mountains?
We got some great cliff faces if you into sunny mountains. Rock climbing is awesome for upper body strength and back definition!!! And you often have to hike to the cliff face so there's some steady state cardio and a bit of a leg workout to. Plus the outdoors is a huge bonus

Sorry you don't have any patients to treat, hope you still getting lots of sex bud.

What about lawn bowls I here its really exciting ?

I snowboard when ever I can get to the snow.. Which is twice a year , Lesotho and oversees.

Dunno about rock climing , as need to change my after work routine around .

So it will be out with the gym , in with something else...

Chief , all i need is sex, and not the drama and that come with it.

I am too set in my ways to have someone permanent in my life.
So i choose.. Snowboard trips..or GF.. GF..

The snow wins

Shweet man, that's awesome. I put it at the top because it is something I would like to do one day as well. In a long time prob, but still...
All the best of luck!

Each Crosfitt session is like a workout from hell,but its awsum.Started 3months ago and puked at least 3times a week for the first month...Lost 6kgs@104now 10%bodyfat.resting heart rate came down from72 to 60 beats a minute.
Best of all ive got no more joint pain
If u not in a crosfitt gym,u can make the plates and machines work for u,anything goes..

BUt be warned the other guys in gym think u are from another planet,cause u look like a energizer bunny on drugs.
@acid ,may i mail u,i need to ask (consult)you regarding a cycle u posted on

@nuggeth

Go for email me .

I didnt go for the cross fit.. Lil to pricey for me at the moment.. Involved with another sport that
costs a arm and a leg already

(Sorry DJ)

Nuggeth, where do you train? Are you doing the open?

:woohoo: @crossfit ninja

Nope ninja,we do it old school style,im in Mosselbay in the garden route and believe me even the local gyms are from the stone age
We make do with what we've got,at least we"ve got the beach and lost of sand to fill bags.
Also amazing the workout you can get with a 17 inch Tyre and a rope on the beach

We don't pay any extra fees for fancy kettle-belts,or equipment,lol
would luv to attend cross fit comps though,but there's just not facilities
Maybe next year the trend will catch on in this part of the country


@Acid

thanx ill mail you
