So I'm NOT new to working out, but I am new to the bodybuilding game. I'm sure I'll probably hear some shit for this but I was real heavy into CrossFit for the past few years. Sort of lost interest in the workouts but kept Olympic weightlifting...love that shit. I think a year or two of bodybuilding would dramatically increase Olympic weightlifting ability. Anyway...look forward to seeing what everyone has to say and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way.

Back in the day when I was an athlete all I did was plyometric training. It is a great gate way into the sport of bodybuilding imo. The only problem I see in your case is that you prob will lose interest in that CrossFit stuff. Well maybe that’s a good thing!

Yeah man...100 box jumps then 100 wall balls started to become super lame. All I ever wanted to do was a 1RM back squats or snatch. Got to the point where I didn't do class anymore and just used the gym to lift. Then I realized why the **** and I paying 180 bucks to do something I can do for a hell of a lot cheaper. Enter bodybuilding.

Why on earth does crossfit cost so much?

Cheap barbell
Cheap rubberized weights
Racks
A few kettlebell and medicine balls
A roof and 4 walls
Poorly qualified coaching

Profits like a MF

I think it costs so much because the majority of the people who come in sort of/kind of care about working out. I think they come there mostly to socialize. Just one guys opinion.

It costs so much because it is trendy. Period.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of good information here.
