Is CrossFit Good for Building Muscle?

Is CrossFit good for building muscle?

It can be, yes. The varied workout routines and camaraderie culture tend to keep people coming back for more.

It sounds too good to be true, aside from the $300 a month price tag some instructors charge.

It can also be too good at building muscle. They push you to do many repetitions in short half hour sessions, and it can hurt you.

No pain, no gain.

CrossFit calls it Uncle Rhabdo, but it is actually rhabdomyolysis.

That sounds like the latest body building supplement.

It is a medical condition where you have worked your muscles so hard that the muscles are damaged and dying. You do serious muscle damage, and the compounds that produces can destroy your kidneys.

What is the solution?

Don't take on the workout of the day if you aren't in shape. Don't push yourself past the pain.

Despite the competition.

Especially despite the competition, unless you want to see who racks up the highest hospital bill. You should go to the hospital if the muscles go from sore to massively swollen or too weak to move.

That should be a warning sign.

It should, but some people think that type of fatigue and muscle swelling is a sign of a good workout and don't get proper medical attention.

How do I avoid it?

Don't do hundreds of any type of exercise. Don't go running the day before or after a CrossFit workout.

That's common sense. Don't over-do it.

Don't jump into a three day Cross-fit seminar without training for months first. And take rest days after a Cross-fit workout to let your body heal.

Is CrossFit good for building muscle if you don't over do it?

Absolutely, but you have to be careful. Too much of a good thing can literally kill you.
