anyone who's never attempted a crossfit workout for time shouldn't even talk. This is so brutal im surprised nobody passed out. I have a ton of respect for these guys.
Anyone else notice how uneven the scoring/judging seems to be? Some are counted across as soon as they step across, others when they touch the line, most seem to be when they release the straps.
You make a valid point and I'm not trying to argue because even if a person takes steroids, Hgh, blood doping, etc, they aren't magic potions that make you a champion, its just excuses for the unaccomplished. But in history man has always tried to find an advantage, especially in war, and there are many examples of mixtures of drugs like stimulants and or alcohol warriors took for stamina and courage. US fighter pilots actually are required to take a stimulant. Yes really. A reality of humanity
I would imagine its mainly blood doping to help with the high cardio demand of the events. Honestly though i think are a lot of top contenders at the games that don't cheat.
Kyle Gilbert what does? Crossfit is not a PURE test of any SINGLE ability, agility and balance are just one aspect of the two movements I listed. The idea is to perform movements requiring high levels of multiple components of fitness, not just one.
I compete in oly lifting only. Before that I wrestled in hs and college, but this stuff is really cool. I don't know why there is so much crap talk about these guys? They are not trying to be power lifters...way to small for strongman (which I love) of Olympic lifters...it is what it is.
Because of the amount of charlatans and bad trainer that wrecked people body with their ignorance. But hey same could be said of martial arts too. Problem is you couldn't approach the subject with a 10 foot pole without rustling jimmies. There's high intensity training with good forms, and then there's your jacked Joe milking people of their money AND their health. Mixed that with the big circlejerk around it/popularity and it becomes self explanatory.
That's because it isn't just Running that they have to contend with. Why would you go max speed on running when you have 500lbs to flip across a soccer field right after that. The run isn't where the event is won or lost.
I've used a sled for powerlifting to increase deadlift strength and hip power, and nothing will burn your legs and quads like pulling it backwards instead of forward like they did here. I mean nothing, it hurts just to think about it.
No one is trying to downplay his achievements, people on steroids work harder than people who aren't, but it makes sense to claim that you are drug-free. Why risk your achievements seeming "tainted" or losing your sponsors? Most fitness athletes and a lot of bodybuilders/powerlifters/oly lifters claim drug-free when they aren't.
These guys are in great shape. That being said, when I was competitive powerlifting, there wasn't a person at the local box that could beat me on a WOD unless it had double unders or more than 20 consecutive pull-ups. Point of the story, there isn't one be all end all. None of these guys follow true paleo, none of these guys trains in a Crossfit (haphazard) manner. Enjoy it for what it is, the well-off white Olympics.
The reason they're not running at the speed of Olympic track athletes is because the crossfit games are not just a single track event. They're pacing themselves so they can compete in every event.
That's why you come off before the competition and flush your system. If you think that pro athletes in any sports aren't using, I have some bad news...
There aren't that many black guys. I don't think this is because one race is better than the other at sports. Different races dominate in different sports. I think it has more to do with cultural norms of that race. Black people growing up in black families influence their kids to get into basketball and football. White parents tend to push their kids into getting an education over any type of sport but when they do, white kids tend to do more costly sports such as hocky, cycling, crossfit. I think the main reason there aren't that many blacks in crossfit is because its expensive. Its an economical reason. Crossfit gyms are usually $150 or more a month. Only the higher income people can afford such a fee. Not to mention the amount spent on quality food.
I don't even understand what you're upset about. Are you saying that you are a better athlete than these guys? Or are you just mad because you don't get espn?
Alot of the body builders are taking anabolic steroids but the difference the the amount of steroids they are taking. Anabolic is a very small amount and body builders often take anywhere to 5x to 20x the "recommended" amount. and then there is the shady steroids that are just insane
u dont think they drug test in a competition for fittest on earth..? its not must roided up on earth...thats completely counter to the spirit of crossfit anyways
Ya ok, thats why lance armstrong took them, marion jones, ben johonson and countlss other athletes in every sport imaginable. You are truly deluding yourself if you think due to the 'high rep intensity' nature of Crossfit that people would rule out taking steroids is complete nonsense.
I don't know men.. I'd like to think those bodies are the result of hard work but not sure... Steroids also need hard work and surely those bodies are not chicken and rice made
well look at their phisiques, guys who are natural and on mass routines and eating a shitload dont get that big, ur telling me this guys can get easily that big+they are training 2-3 times a day like animals (with a lot of endurance work). Admit to yourselve...majority of today top sportsmen are on juice fuck it thats just the way it is.
I agree, I'm gonna come out and say at least 50% of all strength athletes in the world have been on some kind of juice at some point. Not ragging on xfit but I don't think their the exception.
@@justinhardt1 so true 😂these guys r so much more overall fit than runners, and thats coming from a runner myself... it's crazy for someone of these guys' body masses to run 2.1 miles at that pace
For a bunch of athletes, these guys sure are un-athletic. haha! Also, a 100lb. log is way easier to carry than a 100lb. bag. Wtf are these announcers talking about? Contours and fluid shapes are MORE difficult to carry. Try picking up a 200lb person compared to a 200lb barbell.
Yeah dude crossfit isnt a thing isn why ppl wanna make it its own thjng.. Its jus everything .... So to hate it is just not understanding it ..... And yes the gyms r expensive.. And its not the insurance lol.... All gyms have insurance... Its the fact that it fuckin works better than anything.. It is ment to get u into a new lifestyle and meet ppl who r positve and care about health n being active... But i do this stuff for free.. I had the privilege to work in a scrap yard so i have a free t t
no no, I'm talking about the UA-cam Channel.. And no sir I'm not that into the Crossfit. I'm merely a spectator just as you are. 1st crossfit is for the privileged and I'm not financially secure enough yet to give $200 a month to a gym, especially when I can do all this at another gym for 10x less($20).. I just like watching the events, SORT of like when I watch the strongman competition on ESPN.. If you don't believe me check out my fav videos buddy... peace
but really get a guy the same size and they wouldnt be able to do any of this stuff at this pace. define strength whether its silly this is more functional than what you would think.... to each there own my friend to each there own... crossfit is gay though, most of the stuff I've seen is terrible form just for speed, kip pullups etc idk not my thing either.
I don't know if they are on juice, but your point is totally wrong. Steroids aren't used only in bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman. They are used widely in every branch of sport and it is a fact. So I don't see how steroids can't help them, if they can help sprinters, cyclists etc.
juicing? lol. have you done steroids? the pump you get from them would make u trash for a high rep high intensity workout like crossfit. just because someone has mucle and is ripped people say it must be steroids. sorry buddy, its called hard work and dedication to training and life style
Tire n 20 lb hammer a whole bunch of dumbbelss n barbells n plates and i go to field. Near me with a thick pullup bar n some places for dips n i jus invite some ppl to join n we jus get creative n go hard as fuck
A lot of idiots bashing crossfit , haven't tried crossfit . I worked at a crossfit gym for a month and I tell you it's intense training . the memberships are pricey , but it's worth it
Why not? Noone there is overly massive, they're just all very lean guys. I'd hazard a guess and say not one of them is over 100kg, just very low bodyfat %.
They were saving energy for all the stuff they had ahead of them, would you really want to sprint on the run and burn out half way through flipping the pig?
A.) its ESPN3 not a channel dedicated to crossfit. and B.) it's interesting to see how much this bothers you considering this has no direct influence on you.

Man you can see the determination and grit these competitors have! That's amazing man. Just giving it their all till they collapse literally!!😂
Just a word for these guys RESPECT
Anyone else notice how uneven the scoring/judging seems to be? Some are counted across as soon as they step across, others when they touch the line, most seem to be when they release the straps.
Some of these events should have stayed ideas.
I love that Khalipa has a stronger upper body, it made him a beast in this WOD. He is my favourite :)
"There's Garret Fisher.. Every hair's still very much in place." LOL ( 7:14 )

Crossfit is actually pretty entertaining
Son grandes de la fuerza,..,
They can lift heavy objects. Does crossfit test balance or agility?
+Kyle Gilbert zig zag sprint, double unders?
+Kyle Gilbert Both and equally well.
Neither of those truly test agility or balance.
Kyle Gilbert
You just do not know crossfit. It is THE new way to get into shape.
Kyle Gilbert what does?
Crossfit is not a PURE test of any SINGLE ability, agility and balance are just one aspect of the two movements I listed.

must have been fun to set up all those 500 pound blocks

Fabulous. Jason Calith kicks major ass

Why is there so much hate on crossfit?
Only if they knew what crossfit does I do cross fit here where I live
Because of the amount of charlatans and bad trainer that wrecked people body with their ignorance. But hey same could be said of martial arts too.

Let's see them do a Spartan Super Race... Just saying
That's because it isn't just Running that they have to contend with. Why would you go max speed on running when you have 500lbs to flip across a soccer field right after that. The run isn't where the event is won or lost.
Crazy!!!!
Szép volt Kovács! :)
jason khalipa is an animal, wow
all kinds of capri sun
Nobody cares 👎

whatever you find most efficient
dayyumm these muscles!!!

To weak for Olympic lifting to be competitive, but the beauty of this stuff is most athletes can do it, and it looks fun!
esto si es competencia
Hajrá Magyarország!
Testing Dipshit, it would be hard to get around it in this sport.

What a brutal event...
500lbs?! jesus, I can't even squat that much yet.
That's why you come off before the competition and flush your system. If you think that pro athletes in any sports aren't using, I have some bad news...
I would be lucky to finish in 4 hours. I mean that pig is crazy heavy.
Did they just rip parts of a classic RATM song?

You're pretty much right on everything except the food. Plenty of black bodybuilders, which is expensive in terms of food and roids
What the hell he did 1000 muscle ups in 8 hours? If you did sets of 5 that’s one set every 2min 24seconds, insane
I think I could do that
Lol at the start.... guys don't know how to run very well - know your pacing !
whats the song playing at 37:34??
I don't even understand what you're upset about. Are you saying that you are a better athlete than these guys? Or are you just mad because you don't get espn?
i would participate but it mneans going to usa form uk
heavy athletes were here in advantage because of the massive weight for the 100 yard part.
passionnate

Why does Garret Fisher look like he is 12 years older than her really is?
the answer to these types of questions is usually genetics or drugs
u dont think they drug test in a competition for fittest on earth..? its not must roided up on earth...thats completely counter to the spirit of crossfit anyways
Struggling? The leader just ran a 12:42 2.1 mile. Thats just a little over a 6 min mile. And now the have to do the flip and carry.
👍
very very hard ... off crasy
Asian people we need it then we will win
Ya ok, thats why lance armstrong took them, marion jones, ben johonson and countlss other athletes in every sport imaginable. You are truly deluding yourself if you think due to the 'high rep intensity' nature of Crossfit that people would rule out taking steroids is complete nonsense.
where are the black guys? not being racist or anyything
Its a 2.1 mile run, cmon thedemiflip, learn to read
@ Trinicaleb lmfao!!!
why there is no black man joining?
When they change the winning prizes from $3 grand to $3 million then we'll talk.
Kanguesso Kang 275,000 for first place u just win three grand for every first place event
Johy
lol 24:38 guy with the hat chirps him aha
Isn't it funny how none of these guys got injured?
Crossfit: Reps total: 0
Yah? You still couldn't do this shit. So instead you hate over the internet.. weakling
jesus christ that pig flip...100yards ._.
you have no idea what steroids are, do you? lance armstrong took roids, but i guess cycling isnt high rep....
I don't know men.. I'd like to think those bodies are the result of hard work but not sure... Steroids also need hard work and surely those bodies are not chicken and rice made

they who has no shirt on a lot
but only 3000 dollar
These guys need some soymilk
Those logs look like giant wine corks ahahaha
Ok
wouldnt be crossfit without sunglasses in the rain
Kemény vagy Laci, mint a vídia. Hajrá Magyarország!
I agree, I'm gonna come out and say at least 50% of all strength athletes in the world have been on some kind of juice at some point. Not ragging on xfit but I don't think their the exception.
if these guys are juicing , they are doing it wrong.
$ 3000 for winner ....... wtf he should get more.....
assuming its 3000 per each event you win
Impressive athletes.
if they dont test... i dont see why not use them
In Soviet Russia burden carry you!
Exactly! Just like Lance Armstrong! All the haters say he did drugs and cheated but his fans have always said it was HARD WORK ONLY!!! Derp!
24:38 does that guy call jason an ahole? LOL
"animal"
Yeah Animal
where can i buy this game?
I understand that but I'm sure Reebok makes enough money off them to give these athletes a little more. haha
aww! this is soo cute watching these huge guys struggling with a 2.1 mile run
It'd be funnier watching small runner try to complete the other events.
@@justinhardt1 so true 😂these guys r so much more overall fit than runners, and thats coming from a runner myself... it's crazy for someone of these guys' body masses to run 2.1 miles at that pace
@@justinhardt1 it'd be interesting to see if they could even finish the whole thing, flipping over 400 pound "pig" and 310 sled pull.
which is why 7 time tour de france champion lance Armstrong was doping... right.....
how do you explain ben smith when bringing up doping? guy is so average looking
For a bunch of athletes, these guys sure are un-athletic. haha! Also, a 100lb. log is way easier to carry than a 100lb. bag. Wtf are these announcers talking about? Contours and fluid shapes are MORE difficult to carry. Try picking up a 200lb person compared to a 200lb barbell.

우와~ 근력과 지구력이 모두 좋아야 할수있는 종목이군요...
so... are you trying to say you can out perform these athletes because you workout "traditionally"?
i wonder how well would Brad Castleberry fare here
