Top 5 Most Annoying CrossFitters
Alright Mercer Island CrossFitters, I re-post this lovingly, not to be mean, but rather for you to consider and to see if you fall into any one of these categories. If you do find that any of these hit a little too close to home, think about how your workouts and fitness might get better if you were willing to make a few changes … whatever they might be.
5 - The Cherry Picker – This is the person that only comes in for the WODs they think they will be good at. This in turn means they never get practice working on the movements they are not good at, which turns into minimal growth.
4 – The Complainer - Ugh, I can’t believe the warm up is soooo hard, it is too hot, why do we do so many OHS, my arms are sore, I have a headache, it is too early, it is too late. Get my drift?
3 – The Big Ego – Often times this is a problem with newbies, but can also be found in those that have been around for quite a while. The ego seems to rear its ugly when one can’t actually do the movement they are supposed to be doing at the Rx weight, so they are doing their very own special dangerous version of the movement so they don’t have to scale the weight and do it right.
2 – The You Should Know Better – This person has been at your box for quite a while now, maybe even one of the longest, but they still don’t seem to grasp basic concepts. They still don’t know what a Thruster is, they still don’t know how to figure out if they should go Rx and if they have to scale they seem clueless as to what they should scale to
1 – The Cheater - In CrossFit there is no room for cheating because it flat out gets you absolutely nowhere.

Just for the record, Coach Allison is the complainer! She was about one complaint away from being kicked out of her “CrossFit Essentials” training. and I would definitley be #3, Iwill often, have been know, to struggle through something with poor form just to the “RX”. I will say however, I am becoming more mature in my old age and I realize when I am doing more harm than good.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been guilty of all of them at least one time or another.
Well Corey, you may as well have put my picture in this post! I do it all, except maybe the big ego.
I’m so the cherry picker!!! “Oh, thrusters today? Guess I’m not coming.”
Love this post!
