Crazy CrossFitters: 16 Things That Gross 'Normal' People Out

Anyone who does CrossFit absolutely loves it. Anyone who doesn’t do it, loves to bash the “CrossFit cult”. Between all the AMRAPs, WODs, and Metcons, CrossFit athletes push through some insane conditions (many self-inflicted) that bring most other athletes to shame.

The daily course of events for a CrossFitter probably scares off a lot of people who don’t drink the Kool-Aid. To be one of the fittest athletes around, it takes a lot of sacrifice.

Check out the list below for some of our favorites!

1. Painful Butt Blisters

buttburn-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

V-ups, butterfly sit-ups, hollowrocks. For those of us who like to power through these, the Butt Burn is real. It happens from scooting a little bit on the floor as you speed through reps.

If you’re a girl or a banana hammock-wearing man, you make sure to avoid the beach for a few days while your acid kiss heals.

2. Eating the Family Size and Not Getting Fat

eating-the-family-size-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Pizza, beer, burgers, more beer, burritos, maybe another beer. Why is it CrossFitters can eat almost anything and never gain weight?

Daily high intensity WOD's burn 100’s of calories and keep your body in fat-burning mode for hours afterwards.

3. Inevitable Double Under Battle Wounds

double-under-fail-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

CrossFit Games athletes make it look so effortless – hopping up and down consecutively without any fails.

We all know how tough your first double unders are. It takes weeks or months of looking like a self-loathing masochist, covered in rope marks.

4. Callus Tears, Blister Bursts, & Blood. Oh My!

crossfit-hands-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Regular people get nauseous when they get video game blisters. For CrossFitters, if your hands don’t look somewhere between having been crucified or opened a hot stove, you might not be doing it right.

These puppies are badges of honor!

5. Protein Burps

protein-burp-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

If the protein powder didn’t clump in your shaker and blow up in your throat.

Chugging a pre-workout in the car before a WOD will give you some massive protein burps any teenage boy would envy.

6. Sweat Angels*

sweat-angels-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

If the room looks a bunch of ghosts exploded on the floor, you probably just walked into a CrossFit box after a WOD. High intensity metcons are notorious for putting athletes through new highs of sweat loss.

*See Google for more.

7. Chalk... Chalk... CHALK EVERYWHERE!

chalk-explosion-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

CrossFitters might use more chalk than kids on a driveway.

Cleans today? Yup need chalk. Double unders? Yup, better chalk up. Sit ups?Sure, can never be too prepared!

Try walking around anywhere outside your box after using chalk. It's like walking through a fallout zone.

8. Creating Strong And Sexy Bodies

attractive-crossfit-athletes-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

A common side effect of CrossFit is building a strong, athletic, attractive body.

This can be intimidating to people who are afraid of women who lift or guys who don’t spend their days on the couch.

Despite zero isolation exercises, your "broceps" might outmatch the typical gymrat’s.

9. Perpetual Piles of Smelly Laundry

attractive-crossfit-athletes-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

CrossFit shirts, socks, shorts, leggings, shoes, hairbands. Most people will find themselves struggling under a ever-growing pile of stinky workout clothes.

ProTip: Wear everything inside out for a second time.

10. Fifty Shades of Pain

attractive-crossfit-athletes-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Every WOD is a grind - CrossFitters know that. Athletes don't show up expecting to look pretty and barely break a sweat.

If you do CrossFit, expect to experience new levels of pain and see facial expressions that wouldn't be out of place in a horror film.

11. No I Didn't Get Mauled by a Chihuahua... Deadlifts

deadlift-shins-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

People might ask if everything’s okay when you walk anywhere after CrossFit with bloody, bruised up shins.

I always smile and say "You should see the other guy"

12. Your Workout is Their Warm-Up

walking-handstands-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Most people run a leisurely-paced mile and call it a day. At CrossFit, that's a warm-up.

Now let's talk working out.

Imagine if you were to combine running a 10k with hundreds of bodyweight movements and hundreds of pounds of barbells. Now complete that for time. With no rest.

13. Walking Handstands Everywhere

walking-handstands-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

The average TV viewer believes handstands are reserved for Olympic gymnasts once every 4 years, and their niece’s tumbling classes.

Fact: Once a CrossFitter completes their first competition, they graduate from feet walking and begin hand walking everywhere. Meanwhile, the rest of us peasants are limited to bipedalism.

14. Loud Noises

loud-noises-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Every workout isn’t complete until someone starts screaming like a water buffalo in heat.

But seriously – when you’re pushing for a new PR on Grace, you’ll do anything to get those last few reps done.

15. Olympic Lifting Fails

olympic-lift-fail-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

Unless you’re lucky enough to have impeccable form and superhero pants, you’re going to run into bruises covering your thighs, chest, and shoulders.

In CrossFit, we love our Clean and Snatch WODs, and the only thing better than catching a barbell in your groin, is dropping it on your head. Nobody wins that game!

16. Peeing During Double Unders

 

olympic-lift-fail-16-things-crazy-crossfitters-do-post-wod-fever

I've heard estimates in the ball park of happening to every 1 out of 2 people.

Let's just hope you know someone who has!

CrossFit is a tough sport! It takes a brave soul to do it. And admittedly, one a little crazy. 😄 Like many things, a high-intensity fitness program requires discipline and a willingness to push through your own personal limits. With time everybody improves, and the above list looks a little less scary.

    “Here is what you must do! Concentrate on the one thing you want me to do. Is it money you need to help you through a difficult period? Is it a lack of affection in your life that makes you feel unloved, taken for granted? Is there a problem that needs to be fixed right now?”

  • REVENGE OF THE RAVEN CURSE SPELL FROM AFRICA TO PARTS OF THE WORLD +27672740459.

    To Curse the one who wishes you Harm…
    This powerful and irreversible curse should only be directed toward evil. If you have any doubts as to the recipient’s guilt, please do not order this curse.

    However, if you are thinking clearly and are certain the intended victim needs to be punished, then this is the proper vehicle for your wrath.

    The Revenge of the Raven Curse:
    • Hones in on the victim as if directed by radar.
    • Causes them discomfort, self-loathing, and self-destruction.
    • Lowers their emotional and physical resistance.
    • Causes them sadness, regret, and despair.
    • Neutralizes their power, their inner resolve.
    One of the signs that the Revenge of the Raven Curse has taken hold is when the victim retreats into a self-imposed shell. +27672740459, babakagolo@gmail.com.

    It’s time for you to no longer be at this person’s mercy. It’s time to fight back! The Revenge of the Raven curse is one of the most effective ways of neutralizing and severely limiting those despicable people who cause great pain and anguish.

    Please note: This powerful curse can only be administered by a select few individuals with the gift of advanced psychic powers.

  • THE LOST LOVE SPELL FROM AFRICA TO THE WORLD +27672740459.

    Is there a special person whom you love like no other? Are you positive this “true” love is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence? And it will never happen again—never?
    In life a person is truly blessed to come across a soul mate, someone we can relate to, and spend endless hours with – talking, laughing, loving… Unfortunately, sometimes dissension surfaces and a crack occurs, causing an unpleasant parting of the ways.
    Soon, we plummet into a bottomless pit causing loneliness, regret, and misery. What was previously joy and happiness are now replaced with indescribable sadness and unhappiness.

    The result: A broken heart.
    In some cases, the rift can be repaired. But what if the other person is too angry, too stubborn, too blind to recognize how much they appreciate you, rely upon you, and love you? And what if you have tried everything to no avail? And you fret and agonize that the wounds will never heal?
    If your one-and-only is living somewhere else and you have come to the end of the line, you may want to consider one last option: We believe there are unseen, powerful forces in our midst that await our call and are prepared to do our bidding – to exert influences that are beyond our comprehension. And neither time, distance, nor place seems to deter these forces from attaining positive results.

    Do you truly want this person back at all costs?

    Don’t be a passive victim. This is your time to take the bull by the horns and do something proactive. There are definite things you can do to affect your loved one’s subconscious mind. You can ask a powerful psychic to summon these powerful forces and make spiritual contact with this very special person whose companionship and love you desperately seek.
    Once this connection is made, an appeal to their emotional, intellectual, and physical being could stimulate them into reevaluating your relationship. The primary focus, of course, will concentrate on the positive aspects of who you are and what you mean to them – bringing these qualities to the surface, reminding your loved one of the good times past.

    Will this spell work for you?

    Once the spell is cast, the seeds of reconciliation, the seeds of hope, seeds of a wonderful, long-lasting relationship will be planted and the opportunity for reunification is only a matter of time!
    So, if you are in love with a person and can’t live without them… If your lover is hard-headed and you have been cast aside with little or no regard for your feelings, emotions, and well-being… then now is the time to act!
    Remember, all the money in the world can’t replace a lost love… But a skilled psychic experienced in matters of the heart will summon powerful forces to help bring your once-in-a-lifetime love back to you.
    Please note that you will have an opportunity to make your request during checkout. After we receive your order, we will send you an e-mail with the date the spell will be cast, and any other instructions if necessary. Call Baba Kagolo at +27672740459, or E-mail us at babakagolo@gmail.com.

  • We oftentimes have several meaningful relationships in our lifetime. Some of our romantic interests are only meant to be in our lives for a short period of time to teach us a lesson or add value to our lives. However, there is usually one person- one relationship- that is different. Unfortunately, no relationship is without its problems and these issues can sometimes cause your one true love to leave instead of working on the relationship. If you feel like you have truly lost the love of your life, you can feel completely devastated. Instead of accepting the situation, though, it’s time you took back control of your life. By using a powerful bring back lost love spell, you could be reunited with your love in no time at all.
    There are several ways to bring back lost love. A bring back lost love spell is one way that magic can help you reunite with your love interest. While this method is extremely effective, it is not the only way to bring back your lost love. A bring back lost love prayer can also be used. This method is very similar to incantations or chants used in magic practices, but it instead is aimed at a specific higher power entity. Whether you believe in God, the spiritual powers of the universe, or nature, you can use a bring back lost love prayer to make your former lover come back to you. Get Baba at +27672740459, Or at E-mail babakagolo@gmail.com.
