I gotta agree that the form of cross training that crossfit was derived from in its 'pure' sense is probably a pretty solid way of developing overall fitness. A variety of compound lifts with a reasonable amount of intensity. unfortunately the crossfit we know, is more of a huge personal training business than it is athletic training. We all talk shit on crossfit because of the lolery we see in videos etc. But there ARE some very fit crossfitters.

As far as BBers being the most fit, I doubt it. Anytime I watch a video of a BBer showing exercises on youtube they are gassed after doing 1 set of rear delt flies and can hardly breath well enough to talk into the video after. There are some athletic BBers but Id say its an exception, not the norm.

Halo just because you play squash doesn't mean bodybuilders are in good shape.
