This video brings me back to when my uncle opened up his box in 2012. I watched these videos frequently and fell in love with CrossFit. Me and my friends were always eager to get out of school to catch the 3:30 class. I miss these days fondly. Thank you CrossFit!
Im confused by why people here are hateing so hard on Crossfit. Iv done it for just about a year now. My fitness has improved greatly. I combined what i do in Cross fit with my regular weight lifting and iv gotten even more gains in the last year then in all my time lifting weights. These lifts are incredibly technical. And contrary to popular belief cross fit is not all about Max reps fuck proper form. In my time doing cross fit not once has a trainer told me to go heavy and do improper form for the sake of a lift. Half of our classes is spent learning proper form, grip, and execution of a lift before we even put weight on a bar. All im saying is don't hate on something just cause you don't do it or see it a certain way.. No need for the negativity.
infestedpotatoes yup, been in it for a month and now and I've gotten stronger. I'm dead last in all the WODs but I keep going back. More a mental thing, I guess, But you are right, the instructors at my crossfit always stress lighter weight and stricter form.
In olympic lifting the rules are the opposite of what you're saying. You are NOT allowed to press the weight. You are supposed to force the weight up, and drop under it, and lockout the elbows. If the elbows visibly are not locked, and the weight is pressed, it is known as a "press out" and is red lighted.
People talk crap, and I'm not really a crossfit person myself, but to have someone be that lean and be able to put 285 over their head is pretty good. Can't be mad
Sophie Y. The form here is awful. Struggle to maintain good torso posture a multitude of reasons. A lot of unsafe things going on here. Most of this video is hard to watch. Half of these jerks the lifters have to lock the elbows, per IWF regulation, that would be a no lift. Most of these guys at these weights are severely out classes by serious weightlifters. As a football player, I see WR’s do weight like this. To me, this is not impressive, especially these guys, who should have a good snatch/c&j due to the fact a lot of cross fit revolves around that.
@@hughjwang4964 do you know what's REALLY dangerous? Sitting in front of your PC, eating all day and getting fat while bragging about CrossFit being dangerous.
@@fkmonteiro how do you know he sits at a pc and does that? You're could be one of those people. Crossfit promotes bad form and its evident in their lifts. If you can't discern between proper technique, you shouldn't be backing crossfit in anything
From the description: "had these lifts been at a sanctioned event." Had these lifts been at a sanctioned event, you'd get red lights for adjustments and press outs all over the place.
Crossfit is a bit ridiculous but at least they make weightlifting popular among the general population. Certainly a better way to use weights than ego lifting in front of the mirror
Darknight what would you know about crossfit then? Are you an athlete? Do you have a deadlift of 415? Can you string together bar and ring muscle ups? Until you can, stfu boomer, move on, k? Bye ✌🏻
Maybe if people thought with their bigger head they'd understand you don't need to be a master of any skill if you are at least 75% proficient, mastering a single skill can easily take a lifetime.
I'm not a true fan of Crossfit, but, if these guys can throw weight around like this as endurance athletes, I'm damn sure they'd also be able to perform at a high level in any sport they chose to.
B You’re wrong in that last statement. And crossfit isn’t just lifting weights, if you have watched when they compete, they do a lot of different movements and exercises. They are definitely at an advantage in most sports.
They’re not endurance athletes. If you watch froning and dan train from this time they were training high weight low reps. Strength program. They then add in higher volume stuff But the focus is strength , because if you can snatch 300 pounds, when you have to snatch 185 for a whole bunch of reps it’s not a big deal
ok just pointing out some things. Rich and Dan have pretty excellent form and it's very impressive that rich is lifting such heavy weights in flats. However, the other lifters are lifting very sloppily. Their coach, who is suppose to be a qualified olympic weightlifting coach, is congratulating them on no-lifts. Thats makes no sense. on a couple lifts they didn't lock on their jerks and had very bad squatting form.
He gives them tips and it's a fun competition it's not a serious competition and burgener knows that. They're just some guys trying to have some fun, don't need to take it so seriously all the time. There's nothing wrong with that.
Seriously, the haters need to stop!!! No Crossfit cant outlift a strongman competitor or out run a marathon runner but when you combine both cardio and strength, a Crossfit athlete wins. Thats why its called "The Jack of all trades."
They have excelled in one domain of fitness. It depends how "you" define "fitness"...this is what crossfit is prositing; explicitly defining the "terms" of fitness.
@@yettamon956 yes, he does not have endurance training and agility but he is an excellent Olympic lifter who is insanely strong for his weight. He can easily begin crossfit and become an elite spartan.
+Ryan McKinstry because rob is more into strongman. so he do more work with his shoulders like thruster, pushpresses etc. strongmans are not so into jerks :D
That guy in the COWBOY hat was my strength and condition coach here in CA at Rancho Buena vista High school!!! 2007 man!!! We went all the way to state!
Yeah but he didn't do a clean and jerk, he did a thruster (front squat into overhead press). If this was a thruster competition, they would have lifted different weights
"being just strong, or just fast is much easier to accomplish" looking forward to seeing you at the rio 2016 olympic games m8, can't wait to see ur speed under the bar on them record breaking lifts m8 glhf
Well, these are professional Crossfiters. Also, snatches and clean & jerks are very common lifts in Crossfit. So, what's "Crossfit" about it is that professional Crossfiters that are performing a lift that is common in Crossfit haha.
Avocado, do you really believe that? You must not be too bright. Being able to do this and a bunch of other stuff, too, is what it's all about. If all they did was this stuff you'd have a point. But they don't. They do all kinds of movements. Don't be a db
I'm not usually one to make such comments but their form is absolutely horrible. Back angle during the snatch was completely wrong, foot position in the jerk was bad, elbows bent, sad days.
I know a lot of South African rugby teams incorporate Crossfit workouts into their training... Yes the movements are intense but if you're PROPERLY trained and have a coach who cares then you're golden. I've lost 10% body fat in 4 months and I've increased my deadlift 1RM from 175kg to 200kg and my back squat from 160kg to 180kg in the last 2 months... The strength and fitness I've gained from doing Crossfit is amazing...and to the doubters, my lower back/core and joints are all getting stronger all the time because I'm doing it properly and I have coaches who know what they're doing.
Crossfit is fantastic...for completely ruining your joints, tendons, spine, and boosting a false sense of self confidence. I would absolutely recommend it for my worst enemies.
Why just bail on a snatch when you can potentially snap your shoulders up or drop a bar on your head? Lol crossfit logic risking an injury to impress a small crowd of people that are oblivious to the fact that people who actually do olympic lifts as a full time gig can snatch way more! They should be trying to impress people with muscle endurance, functional strength and cardio not olympic lifts!
What a lousy comment. Explain to me why it isn't right for them to "impress" in every area including weightlifting? Who are you to tell anyone what they should stick to or not? Athletes can't be good at more than 1 thing I guess? Clean it man.
Kocis19 It's not impressive though, Klokov snatches 450 that's impressive. I think pro Crossfitters have spectacular cardio, muscle endurance and good functional strength so I mean't they should just bail on the snatch instead of risking a dislocated shoulder or a concussion all because you wanted to impress a crowd but really you're just having a dick measuring contest with defective rulers. Most of these snatches wouldn't count in an Olympic weightlifting competition big or small, they need to lock the elbows out on the snatch. They can do oly lifts all they want I could care less, I just wouldn't advise anybody to lift the way they do.
I'm not a supporter of Crossfit, nor is it impressive compared to Klokov or Ilya, but they don't live to train weightlifting, as far as I know everybody who weightlifts seriously suffers some harmful injuries. These guys are doing alright for themselves, let them at it. If they get hurt, they live and learn. Classic crossfit cult of course they're gonna have a crowd, even if they were seeing who could piss further.
It is nice to that you value good form. If you are talking about Dan Bailey at 1:50 his back is bent to meet the weight. But from what I could tell, on these videos he pushed his butt down before initiating the pull.
Only if you're stupid and go way to heavy before getting the technique down, then yes, it can snap your shit up. Then again, sports are not safe, look at Football, Hell people even seems to manage to get hurt playing golf
This is olympic lifting. I hate that Reebok has stolen an olympic sport and rebranded it as their own special thing that gets tied in with the other bullshit exercises they do. You're not gonna move the same amount of weight as these guys following the WOD. You've actually got to train and not work out for the sake of working out.
Nah, I'm going to an olympic lifting coach instead to focus on the explosiveness and power I want to develop instead of going to an Crossfit course because I know my coach will help me focus on what I want to achieve. Crossfit prides itself in it's lack of specialization and that is it's downfall as a true training program in my eyes. Jack of all trades is the master of none.
You know what? You make a good point. I forgot that Crossfit is a sport itself. You will become a better Crossfitter if you train with Crossfit much the same as playing hockey will make you a better hockey player.
L Chivy Olympic weightlifting was suffering majorly from lack of participation, crossfit has done it a favour with barbell clubs popping up all over the place these days
There's a reason why crossfitters look down on people that specialize. Have you seen bodybuilders, they have literally no movement beyond pushing and pulling. Even with runners, they work on cardio but have no strength training.
Setting records??? I was doing more than what theses grown men were doing in high school. Also non of these lifts come close to Olympian weight lifters lifts....
Daniello Tuchee Me and my team won our schools 25 state championship my senior year and I wasn't even one of the strongest snatchers of my friends. My buddy that was in the 185lb weight class was snatching 330lbs. My personal best was 315lbs weighing 230.
This video brings me back to when my uncle opened up his box in 2012. I watched these videos frequently and fell in love with CrossFit. Me and my friends were always eager to get out of school to catch the 3:30 class. I miss these days fondly. Thank you CrossFit!

There's a reason why crossfitters look down on people that specialize. Have you seen bodybuilders, they have literally no movement beyond pushing and pulling. Even with runners, they work on cardio but have no strength training.

Setting records??? I was doing more than what theses grown men were doing in high school. Also non of these lifts come close to Olympian weight lifters lifts....
A personal record is still a record. They didn't say world record, hater.
its crossfit lol

Daniello Tuchee Me and my team won our schools 25 state championship my senior year and I wasn't even one of the strongest snatchers of my friends. My buddy that was in the 185lb weight class was snatching 330lbs. My personal best was 315lbs weighing 230.
