What would be best for you, Crossfit vs Weight-training?

Ever wonder the difference between Crossfit and Weight-training? Well, I wanted to know which was more effective when it came to making gains so I did a little research.

First, let's look at the differences:

* Free weights means that you either are at a gym or if you have weights at your home. You can create your own workouts and go at your own pace.

* Crossfit is usually done in a gym setting but can be done at home. You are not really able to go at your own pace because Crossfit is all about the higher intensity of it to burn calories. Mostly Crossfit has workouts preset for the day called MOD.



* Free weight work doesn't usually require or include cardio. If you do too much cardio and don't eat a good diet then you can burn up your gains.

* Crossfit is a mix between cardio and weights at a higher intensity. It builds stamina.



* Free weights are good for building muscle mass and looking pumped.

* Crossfit is more about being physically fit all around not just having muscle mass.

Those are just a few of the examples that I could find. Here are a few articles that you could read and see what other people think about the differences of Crossfit and Weight-Training.
