So is crossfit type workouts the best for aesthetics?

On IG, i see these people doing crossfit type workouts and they look pretty decent.

Whats the key in their formula? Is it bc they do interval type training?

With a typical BB routine, its basic...rep/sets..increase over time.

Whats the deal with these interval training? Seems like they aim for time and to try and complete more exercises in a given time period.

Would switching up my routine and lowering my weight with little to no rest be better and help cut fat faster? While gaining aesthetics?

The people i know irl who do crossfit are either skinny fat or just fat. All of them are either injured currently or recovering from an injury incurred while doing crossfit.

Best physiques are going to be the ones that prioritize weight training, mix of strength and hypertrophy, along with functional movements and bodyweight exercises, and lots of cardio (variety is best)

And how are bodyweight exercises effective?

Whenever i see jacked dudes doing liek basic bodyweight exercises, im like wtf r u even doing? Does it even do anything for their muscles?
Or if they do those complex bodyweight workouts with like some weird variation of a sideways pullup or some chit..i figure its just for show off

The only thing I don’t like about it is any big lifts for time, that encourages bad form IMO. High risk for injury.

This..doing heavy big lifts for time is a recipe for injury.

Except that, I think most of crossfit is a legit way to gain strength/ cardio.
You're not going to be swole af unless you want to juice and do crossfit, however, your conditioning will drastically improve.
