How so and what amount of time is considered "a beginner" to CrossFit?
I always see people dogging(not saying you are) CrossFit but from my personnel experience it isn't bad at all, pretty balanced I'd say.
Admittedly I've only done it for about a combined two and a half years or so, a few months while in the sandbox years ago and the rest while stateside here and there. Last I did Crossfit was July 2019, I'd been doing it for almost a year and a half straight at that point and in March 2019 I had started a crazy routine:
CrossFit 5-6 days a week
Krav 4-5 days a week
Muay Thai 4 days a week
This crazy Jim Wendler program called "God is a Beast" 4 days a week
Did that until July 2019 and dropped CrossFit as I decided to build my own gym(start of my descent lol). I kept up with the rest until around when Covid hit. Anyway while CrossFit was in my routine I was constantly setting 1RM's : 450 dead-lift, 365 back squat, 325 front squat, 230 clean, and 225 bench press(never been good at it). That's all when I was 155-160lbs. Month or so after dropping Crossfit my 1RM's were noticeably decreased by 15+lbs.
