Redpill me on hyrox. Is this just WSM competitions for genetic normies?
>>76718577Crossfit but somehow even gayer.
>>76718577it's for nerds that can't compete in actual /sp/orts
>>76718582I just looked it up. its almost like crossfit for people who cannot do crossfit.
>>76718695it's more for bikers and runners that got sick of the weight control their discipline demands and started eating bighonestly i bet it's great for rugby conditioning
>>76718695Literally this, it's just crossfit, but with machines instead of free-weights. They just took out all the "risky" stufd.
>>76718698lol no
>>76718704And really, its not a bad thing, although its not my cup of tea.
>>76718577It's a new trend of "hybrid athlete" that marathon and strength train. It's probably better than crossfit if you don't want an injury, and competitions have better payouts than grossfit.That said, neither compare to wsm even remotely. I compete in local highland games that make this hydroxycut or whatever look like recess.
>>76718577It's crossshit, rules that make no sense, that no one follows anyway, no organization, a bunch of retarded shit no one cares about.
>>76718740Yeah but payouts are good.
>>76718736>It's a new trend of "hybrid athlete" that marathon and strength train.it's the same old trope baywatch was resting upon > i C roid people> i C roid people rooning and that's about it, except in crosshit they make em EXHAUSTED so by the end they look like their brain's been fucked out
>wsm"i'm a fat fuck, watch me deadlift or lift misshapen objects which appear to be heavy">hyrox"i look like a greek god, watch me compete like an olympian"
No idea, but in the shithole I live, all gyms out of nowhere started promoting that shit. Even though it wasn't a thing a month ago.
>>76718577I've done 3 races. Got another one lined up. Just good fun. And leaves you with lots to improve on each time so you can't wait to go again. Usually travel for a race so combine it with a weekend away and get to see new cities. Fucking prices are extortionate though. They sell out every time so they can charge what they want.
>>76718736There is more money in Crossfit. But that doesn't matter for 99.99% of athletesHyrox is way better for anyone to walk off the street and compete in. Yeah you might be slow as shit with no training but you can get it done. You're not going walk off the street and jump in a crossfit competition. And the format in Hyrox never changes so you know exactly what you're training for and can compare your times. Way more accessible that's why crossfit gyms are changing to hyrox gyms. Gotta pay them bills.
>>76718577I do hyrox training, it's pretty good for a mix of cardio, strength and functional strength. Only issue is literally everyone competing is on gear. It's a huge gearfest.
>>76718665Competing in anything is stupid unless the reward is high. If it's a hobby you'll trash your body because of the exercise horseshoe where "moderate" is the only healthy level, and it usually costs a lot of your money.
>>76720854What can you expect? every sport is like this
>>76720854how is that an issue? makes no difference to youand I'd guess well under 10% are on anythinghalf the cunts who do hyrox are casual runners who just parkruns
>>76718736>hybrid athlete>why be bad at one thing when you can be bad at several things?
>>76721538runners not being able to bench bodyweight or do pullups is a bit sad
never heard of it but it seems gayi can just lift weights and do triathlons for cardio. none of this meme fad shit that will die in a few years
>>76721538or you could be good at several things
>>76723200that's just called being an athlete
>>76723900beats being a gymcel who trains for nothing
>>76723957obviously
>>76718577i took the stupid quiz on the site to evaluate what level of hyrox would be the best fit for me>Both the doubles and the open are great options for youwhat the fuck is that even mean??
>>76724730you're not elite and need another man to ensure you finish
>>76718577It's just another form of monetized fitness. Like Crossfit. Like Spartan Race.
>>76724755well, i lowballed the running question because i haven't done 10ks+ regularly in a while but could get back up to it in just a couple weeks easily. when i changed it from 5ks to 10ks its recommendation instantly made me a world-class level performing hyrox athlete and suggested "the pro's" as an option. look out world here i come.
>>76724881One of our female friends wants to do it and wants my wife to compete with her. She raves about how impressive their feats are. My wife looked up the men's 1k row times, laughed at her, jumped on the rower and beat it by 10 seconds. My wife is an elite hyrox rower in the men's pro division. Look out wife, here I cum
