Crossfit - All In?

My box is very laissez faire. We have some people who spend most of their time their doing Outlaw programming instead of the box programming. IDK. I don't think the competitive Crossfit athletes really sit around doing exclusively general programming Metcons 6x per week or eating totally paleo when you really start looking into it.
Almost none of the elite athletes eat Paleo. Guys like Rich Froning are doing hard workouts at least twice a day, six days a week. You simply can't get the carbs necessary to fuel that much work eating Paleo.
They are also doing heavy lifting programs in addition to skill work. The only way to build real strength is to do dedicated strength work.
Those guys and girls are also freakishly strong. Google the video of Rich Froning doing Grace with 225lbs. He does it faster than I can with 115.0
