I know that's the funny stereotype, but, from my perspective, that's backwards. I spent more time at my other gym than I did at crossfit most weeks and the crossfit people were very cool about it.
I find that my old school weight lifting friends have the superiority complex. They make fun of it like you guys do on here (not necessarily you) and really don't have a great handle on what we do. Meanwhile, they would regularly throw in some metcon workouts each week that could easily have been a WOD on the crossfit site.

Best shape of my life!" crowd switched over to Crossfit.

Yeah. You went through this the other day. That's not at all what I was trying to say. I guess I shouldn't have used that phrase. I was trying to say that there was nothing wrong with doing other programs along with crossfit. Everyone seems to want to bag on crossfitters for working out after the WOD for whatever reason. My point was that there's nothing wrong with that. It was actually encouraged. I don't know of any elite crossfitters claiming they got there by only doing the WOD every day.
