CrossFit Vs Bodybuilding

There is a lot of controversy between this to famous sports, there is the body building “the old reliable” and the new trend of fitness, crossfit; there is a lot of hate between this two given the fact bodybuilders are all about the looks and the weight you can lift and crossfitters are about endurance and complete body strength, they both have their pros and cons, for example, bodybuilding can lead to the abuse of substances for muscle growth also their physique is not the prettiest, and crossfit is linked to a lot of injuries given the fact they do a tremendous amount of crazy exercises with the excuse of a “full body exercise” and plenty of them are not even real exercises.

CrossFit

According to social media and gym rats everywhere, CrossFit is the easiest way to injure yourself and lose muscle in the process, that seems a like a little exaggeration , if you ask me. Actually, CrossFit uses everything from Olympic weightlifting to high-intensity interval training to improve your fitness level it is designed for athletes, military personnel and regular people. That being said, CrossFit has something of a negative image in the fitness community these days, the problem is  because it’s so easy to open a CrossFit, you end up with some trainers that don’t always put a priority on safety or proper form, giving bad techniques to their trainees leading to injuries.

Bodybuilding

Let’s start with stereotypes again: Bodybuilding is for idiots. From TV commercials to Facebook posts, Bodybuilding is mislabeled as something exclusively for obnoxious, genetically gifted brutes.

The interesting thing is that once you get into the world of bodybuilding, you realize just how inaccurate those ideas are, Bodybuilding is exactly what it sounds like: taking your natural gifts and working yourself to as hard as you can  to develop those gifts, beyond that, bodybuilding is something that almost everyone in the fitness world aspires to. The issue is that people see professional bodybuilders, fear looking that muscular and assume that their results are typical.

Conclusion

If you’re new to the world of fitness, I’d say that bodybuilding would be a good place to start. The pace is wherever you need it to be, which is great for someone who has no idea what their limits are.

Now, if you’re looking for something to take your training to the next level, I’d like to suggest  you to get into CrossFit, with a focus on developing stronger and faster athletes, CrossFit definitely pushes the people into the next level of fitness.
