More Drama in Crossfit-Land
*Update: Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics and Performance Menu has more to this Crossfit nonsense. While you are at this linked article, why not go ahead and do the workout Everett put up.
Recently, Crossfit affiliate, Greyskull Elite had a scathing piece he wrote titled, Why I Resigned My Affiliation With Crossfit and was met with much discussion, debate and controversy. Things had barely subsided and now we learn that Robb Wolf, one of the Crossfit “old-timers” and all-around good guys got canned amid a considerable amount of acrimony.
Robb explains the whole thing in How I Got fired From the Crossfit Nutritional Certification.
Some of the thing at issue is what Crossfitters should eat. How ridiculous! They favor the Zone, Robb prefers Paleo. That longstanding issue about quality control is that there is no quality control. Buyer Beware.
All I can say is I am glad I left Crossfit years ago. I train to escape the drama, kool-aid and the egos not immerse myself in it.
I do look forward to what Robb does and you can find out at robbwolf.com.
