All i've ever done has been Weightlifting, more specifically i guess you could label me under powerlifting on and off during highschool up until now. I don't quite understand the OP saying he had to buy special cloths. I lift in gym shorts and a T-shirt, which is what most people in my gym lift in.. Even during football most of us just rocked a t-shirt and gym shorts. I did notice that in my particular town those who practiced CF acted like they were some elitists or some shit. To me it looked like a bunch of people doing HIIT without proper form on any of the lifts...
