I don't know what's up with everyone saying the guy in green is a bad interviewer. I find him funny, his questions may be dumb but the purpose is to make Dan Bailey talk and let us learn more about him. I found that a great interview and really pumped to see Josh Bridges vs Dan Bailey vs Kenneth Leverich :D
Yeah man. If you wanna see more from the interviewer shaking up things during actual Crossfit events, check out all the "Behind The Scenes" vids from the last few years. Sevan does 'em, and they're a good time.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in CrossFit. Like him or not, Sevan (and Dave) asked some pretty tough questions that, in many ways, needed to be answered. Huge props to Dan for putting himself out there and answering everything so honestly.
If people actually saw and were exposed to more of Sevan's work you'd actually grow to like the guy... I used to think he was a bit of a prick, but watching his interviews and the behind the scenes footage of the Games I genuinely think this guy is hilarious haha...
+unsensibled Durainrider accuses everybody of taking steroids. He accuses Michael Jordan of steroids (he may not be wrong, but that's a first for me.) There are absolutely drugs being used in Crossfit, for me the question is, which ones? Test is an obvious choice, and maybe some blood doping, but I'm really not sure what else they would benefit from.
Besides the health risks associated with performance enhancing drugs, I sometimes think the judgement on what's legal and what isn't, is arbitrary. There are so many forms of supplementation -- aren't they all created so you can maximize your own capabilities? So when is an athlete's success ever solely because of the athlete if he/she uses supplementation? Hypothetically-speaking, what makes a "Creatine-Glutamine-Test Booster-Preworkout-ZMA-Recovery-Aminoplex 5000" stack legal, and something like DHEA illegal? When can you really say any athlete who uses supplementation is performing that way if there are things that they ingest that help them perform better? I don't have a final POV on this, but the line is a bit arbitrary. Just saying.
+Beastly Theater Well if you can get the same from actual food but is cheaper from supplements. Does it still count as using chemical? Yeah I know it has been a year.
A few years ago while I was in college at Akron, I would always see him training at the rec center on campus (didn't know him at the time) and he was still pretty jacked then before he was known for CrossFit. And that was years ago. I always remember he wore Chucks and had huge calves.
He eats perfectly, does not drink alcohol, and is constantly working on his physique. His job is to try to be the fittest man on earth! He flat out said come test me and it shows he is confident. Why take away what this man is working so hard to achieve. I swear man narrow minded people automatically resort to steroids when they see someone who is in better shape then they are. It fucking disgusts me.
I totally agree with you. It feels like if someone is good at something then people accuse them of cheating because they know they cannot achieve it themselves. If there is a video where someone has put on a couple lbs of muscle, people start pointing fingers. I got accused of taking steroids, I was secretly chuffed though ha ha
Adam Robertson They don't realize how much work these guys put themselves through... Training multiple times a day, their diets are perfect, and they put in more work then all of these keyboard warriors combined! I'm happy there are other people in the world who don't think so narrow minded and automatically assume things.
Steven Ewald hahahaha you wanna joke me? there are professional sprinter, professional cyclist, professional weightlifter (all olympic tested) athletes which done roids or other helpful drugs and done it that much professional to hide during competitions and during the rest of the year when there was off season (olympic athletes get tested during the off season too). and now you wanna tell me that crossfit is a clean sport hahaha best joke ever!
Yall clowning on Sevan, you don't know what a good interview is. Sevan is a genius and ask's the questions most poeple wouldn't ask and if you aren't prepared for it, it will throw the athlete off guard. Awesome interview
Dave Castro shouldn't have been there during the interview. It encouraged Sevan to be more of an egotistical douche (i.e. 0.14). Dan Bailey is not only an incredible athlete, but a true, honest and respectful man to just sit there and smile through the ridiculous questions! Love you Dan!!!
Dan's my favorite, I think. And Sevan's interview, however chaotic, served to bring out the character of the interviewee. And I'm very interested in the steroids question because I agree with Dan, not ready to accuse people, just ready to raise the bar for testing because the games become something about performance-enhancement plus work rather than talent plus work. And it's cool to see the regions mixing it up a little. I imagine Josh Bridges and Dan pushing each other further than either have gone before and that's very interesting to me. That said, I'd be happy if Rich won again or if Jason smash everybody. At any rate, thanks for the interview. Good motivation material and a terrific character to shape the world of CrossFit.
I don't know if Dan Bailey is juicing, but just look at how much his physique has changed over the past couple years. Natural athletes who've been training for years don't just all of a sudden gain huge amounts of muscle.... unless they get on the sauce
Some people just train hard and it pays off, my little brother started lifting after me but in 6 months to a year he looked huge. We don't use steroids as im a sport science student and he's a personal trainer and we know the side affects. its not impossible to get big quick.
***** He stroked his beard before beginning his initial answer and then scratched/rubbed his shoulder (which athletes do) before making a point that even an actual steroid user would agree with. Nervous body language occurs when the point you're making is an actual falsehood -- anyone would've considered his points valid/true. And damn man, not everyone talented is a cheat. Chill out.
I don't believe he is juicing although I do not know sure. When he started training he was working out in his garage, and now he is one of the top athletes in the sport and because of that he works out in the best facilities with the best faculty and best nutrition. People don't realize how much precise nutrition helps athletes. Plus they workout so multiple times a day so don't discredit these athletes hard work. If you do not have REAL proof don't claim to.
You heard him. He's willing to do testing upon your request. Those who want to prove themselves correct.... go for it. Save up 2k USD + whatever cost needed to test him on whatever drug you think he's taking. Who knows maybe he's going to agree to you if you want to follow him 24/7 for a season just to find out if he is taking shit. You just have to donate money to charity. As far as I know he's very religious which I think is part of the reason he wants something donated to charity if you lose testing. Otherwise. Shut up.
long live MAG You do know that that's how plain old non-special regular testing is done? What makes you think your version (of the same thing) will catch a PED user?
ben-t You missed the part that this isn't gambling for him. This is him saying for sure that you'll be donating your 2 grand to charity. Maybe you missed the part where he's actually not pocketing the money but he's donating it. Why would he bother with a donation of 20 bucks to charity? Anyone can pull that out of his pocket anytime. Plus you're missing the point, if you're so sure he's doping and will fail whatever test you put him through, you're not really gambling your 2 grand. You already HAVE 2 grand. But most of you are really just shit heads bitter about someone else's performance. Instead of blabbering your theories up here, why don't you save up 2 grand,get him tested, and end up with 4 grand. Move along now if you're a poor hater who cant bet money for something you believe is the truth. Shut up or shell out.
shogrran What a stupid answer, of course he is making you gamble 2 grand, he is saying that you can test me, but you will have to lose 2 grand if i pass. Why would the be mandatory part of him being drug tested? If he was clean he would be willing to do it for no cost to the other person. Such an unconvincing way to prove your "innocence". The test itself is expensive enough for the person, the 2 grand means that it is in no ones interest to actually test this guy.
I don't like Sevan's interview style. He cuts Dan off several times. People want to know what Dan thinks but to cut him off abruptly that's just bad interview technique.
I think sevan is funny, obviously he pokes fun at certain things people do say like everyone in the games is on steroids or asking who can beat rich. I think its funny personally and he still will ask serious questions
I really love it always comes across like peds are just sitting right in front of us and it's just a choice. Honestly if I knew where to get some I'd for sure be taking em
In some cultures, Asian ones for example, it's disrespectful to look people who are of a higher status than you in the eye... You need to look down. I've learned to look people in the eye, but not everyone does.
***** I understand that it seems disrespectful. I was responding to the original comment, "I think I just don't like _people_ who have a hard time making eye contact with someone. Seems disrespectful" My point was that _some people_ who have a hard time making eye contact with someone aren't being disrespectful. They were raised to believe it's disrespectful to look people in the eye. I was speaking generally, since the person was speaking generally. As for Sevan, there are a lot of stimuli in the room. In fact, Dave Castro is located across from them. Isn't it possible that Sevan isn't so much failing to make eye contact with Dan so much as he is reacting to Dave trying to get his attention? Also, Dan and Sevan are friends. They have been friends for a while. In the video of Dan visiting CrossFit HQ, you can see the Dan and Sevan are buddies.
***** You don't have to be a specific race adapt other cultures habits and beliefs. He might also have a more introverted personality, which would explain why it's difficult to make eye contact.
Regardless of what you think steroids would do, it doesn't make you a world class athlete. That's all I'm saying. Just because someone is on it that doesn't mean they will win the crossfit games!!
Dan you probably won't see this comment because you're doing you which is cf . But to Dan's fans I'll tell you a little about my story and my thoughts. I did cf for 4 years was five places from going to regionals. I had an episode when I didn't make it because I never cheated and did Paleo and worked out religiously. I would watch you and Rich videos at night and even wanted to open CrossFit rain 🔥😂. My coach was 2 sports from going to the games! We connected in alot of ways and I was his apprentice probably his favorite . A year later he got a sanction for drugs. I didn't judge him cuz he taught me all the tricks and he was pretty legit . I ended up quitting for various reasons. My caoch spent his life doing this and still fell short even when using gear. I studied ever movement did the block eating learned how to recover and couldn't figure out how someone else was better. If I came in second in a wod I'd be depressed and was soooo hungry to get better. Id make sure I would get stronger by doing the strength program and focused on always improving. My only conclusion to this was some of these regionals and games athletes are definitely cheating by either lying about the reps aka coaches recording false numbers using gear or possibly fake weights. Competition is for the youth and isnt the same when you mature and get older. My goal was to make it to regionals for the longest time. One year I could've went as a team but I think I ended up fucking up on the last wod or something. Now my goals have drastically changed. I want to be able to deadlift a ton of weight . After years of reps and doing way too much cardio my Passion totally changed over time. All I think about is deadlifting now and occasionally Atlas stone lifting . My competition is the mirror slash myself for you literal snowflakes . Cf was kinda a fad that just got boring and the other strength sports were looking cooler I guess.
Sanction it and test it. Period. They, the athletes, can say no about using but as long as samples are taken periodically we can monitor progression of underground labs like the "Clear" which Marion Jones used. Those who pass and stay clean are true champions but just by viewing the stamina and musculature of these athletes there are a lot of concerns and questions.
it's not weakness. it's logic. why don't you as a natty workout like them and see what happens to your body? work out 3x a day 6 days a week without the help of a recovery aid, aka steroids, and at the end of 6 months report back if you can even make it to that point.
taking performance enhancements is cheating. Here is why that stuff doesn't just make you a world class athlete just because. An individual still has to train hard and work hard to get stronger. My advice would be to get educated on this stuff before you say it's cheating.
Height and weight... calculators are so not accurate!!!! I think it would be best to use a height, body weight, body percentage, and bone density calculator.. because if you just use height and weight.. its unfair to those who just tend to have a higher percent and fat shouldn't be used against you 2 times...
alllllright, so if you look at this guy lifestyle, he is a crossfitter, he workouts everyday, eats a lot everyday and knows a lot about how to recover faster. keep saying he is on drug is just make you sounds like you want to feel less insecure but if he is on drug, he have to be on drug because look at the amount of work these people are doing everyday like hell this is his life, so pls guys stop trying to compare yourself with these people
God forbid someone has an athletic advantage over you, or works ten times harder than you ever could... Steroids is the easy answer it seems smh.. Some people just cant accept that others actually dedicate themselves to strenuous exercises. You get out what You put in
Fire this guy, he's so mean. First seconds of the video and already embarrassing the woman, and above all I know he was asking kind of dumb questions, but at least try to add some humor or good attitude when asking.
Keegan Gaddy haha funny these guys are wannabe strongmen and except for very few look terrible aren't strong and just end up getting injured from the terrible form and rushed sets... why would you do olympic lifting as fast as you can and high reps thats just a recipe for hurting yourself... and don't even get me started on kipping..
Keegan Gaddy You're right and I agree with everything you said there is risk in every sport and especially if you're starting off you need to have people who are knowledgeable to help you and you need to take it slowly to be able to practice the sport safely however, I have many more issues with cross fit such as the original comment mentioned above, they think they're better than everyone else "fittest person on earth" what does that even mean? whats the definition to fittest? things like this are just slogans that the company makes once they became popular and commercialized that get people hooked but don't actually have any meaning. Functional movement? Olympic weightlifting requires an extreme amount of focus and athleticism and you get noobs going in there loading the bar and doing it as fast as they can to beat a certain time. why would i want to exercise faster if I could achieve more benefits by taking my time and concentrating more (and prevent injury, :( poor kevin ogar ) it also means there is much less of an emphasis placed on form which i don't like and I can support that from some of the shitty lifts made in this video. Functional movement? I don't recall ever having to walk on my hands from point A. to point B. so that doesn't even make sense (this is just one of many examples in cross fit where this is true).You want functional movement try something like yoga which will increase longevity in ones life by giving the benefits of exercise but with lower risk on joints and tissues and the whole notion of supporting paleo dieting, I have read countless medical journals that all point towards saying there is nothing wrong with gluten unless you have celiacs disease, and whats the point of low carbs? carbohydrates are the primary energy source for your body and you just end up having no energy, lots of cross fitters just go keto and take caffein in order to be able to have even a half decent workout from no energy, the whole thing just seems so gimmicky and I might not mind it as much if it weren't so expensive but it seems like they just draw you into this whole world of "cross fitters" almost cult like and then bam you end up spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on training and coaching from some fat bald guy who took a weekend course to become a "coach", has no idea what he's doing then... you end severing your L5 vertebrae it just feels more like a business than anything else a way to make profits and less about the individuals themselves.. that being said I respect the community these people are very dedicated to what they do give it %100 (which sometimes makes them get carried away hurt themselves) and the community is very supportive of one another and it almost becomes like a family it seems so in that sense its great just not the other things listed above.
Keegan Gaddy Even for me, If i hadn't started in another sport (olympic weightlifting) and discovered cross fit first, I probably would have joined especially because i went from long distance running to weightlifting and it was really hard for me to leave running I was trying to do both but eventually I had to make a choice because I realized that in order to excel in one i couldn't do both but with cross fit you do combine both but that means all you'll ever achieve is ok both rather than good in one, which is fine if thats what you want to its also appealing in other ways the excitement the energy and I don't even know what it is but a lot of it just looks pleasing to the eye when you watch it and some of the stuff they do looks even fun to do, but overall I will never join it because of the gimmicky part and the fact that they're just looking for profit, a lot of weightlifters join cross fit because they realize theres no money in weightlifting and in order to make ends meat they join it but that won't be me, Ill never sell out
There is a level of confidence that comes with achieving goals. That is part of life. The derogatory nature of your comment suggest you should set and meet your own goals and someone else's life view will not be a problem for you.
Zooni Bubba What goals has he achieved exactly? Juiced himself up and won? Couldn't go back to school after college and learn an occupation? An honest one? I laugh at these achievers. Achievers of nothing. I'm probably not much less fit than this guy (I don't use steroids so what do you expect? 190lbs. bench 310, 24 years in the gym. Day in day out. Sick or not.) and achieved more...... the honest way. NUFF SAID! Now back to studying for my second College Degree to be a Nurse!
I don't know what's up with everyone saying the guy in green is a bad interviewer. I find him funny, his questions may be dumb but the purpose is to make Dan Bailey talk and let us learn more about him. I found that a great interview and really pumped to see Josh Bridges vs Dan Bailey vs Kenneth Leverich :D
Yeah man. If you wanna see more from the interviewer shaking up things during actual Crossfit events, check out all the "Behind The Scenes" vids from the last few years. Sevan does 'em, and they're a good time.
If you don't ask tough questions then you're a shitty reporter/journalist
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in CrossFit. Like him or not, Sevan (and Dave) asked some pretty tough questions that, in many ways, needed to be answered. Huge props to Dan for putting himself out there and answering everything so honestly.
That was 100x better than the final cut. Sevan should do al the interviews!
Dan Bailey one of my favorite crossfit athletes
If people actually saw and were exposed to more of Sevan's work you'd actually grow to like the guy... I used to think he was a bit of a prick, but watching his interviews and the behind the scenes footage of the Games I genuinely think this guy is hilarious haha...
Lance Armstrong was tested 15 times in 3 weeks during 1 tour de france. These punters get tested maybe once a year and it is only a urine test lol!
+durianrider PAY YO THE TEST BITCH HE SAID IT ! AND YOU CLEARY DONT GET IT SO IDIOT , DONT DROP SCHOOL! YOU NEED IT .
You are dumb
+unsensibled Durainrider accuses everybody of taking steroids. He accuses Michael Jordan of steroids (he may not be wrong, but that's a first for me.) There are absolutely drugs being used in Crossfit, for me the question is, which ones?

i love the guy asking questions, this as close to a media-pro athlete interview I think I've ever heard in the crossfit sport

Dan Bailey shows true class at 3:00 very well said on very biased loaded questions
He eats perfectly, does not drink alcohol, and is constantly working on his physique. His job is to try to be the fittest man on earth! He flat out said come test me and it shows he is confident.

Steven Ewald diets are perfect yet froning a interview he says he eats terrible🤔
Love Dan! Do more full interviews
I think its hilarious that people take Sevan seriously. Obviously you know nothing about the crossfit games etc.
Yall clowning on Sevan, you don't know what a good interview is. Sevan is a genius and ask's the questions most poeple wouldn't ask and if you aren't prepared for it, it will throw the athlete off guard. Awesome interview
sevan, where are the behind scenes for this yrs games??????????
I'd like to see more of these "sub 3 minutes" extended.
Dave Castro shouldn't have been there during the interview. It encouraged Sevan to be more of an egotistical douche (i.e. 0.14). Dan Bailey is not only an incredible athlete, but a true, honest and respectful man to just sit there and smile through the ridiculous questions! Love you Dan!!!
I've met him and he was such a humble class act. Def a fan
Dan's my favorite, I think. And Sevan's interview, however chaotic, served to bring out the character of the interviewee.

I didn't think seven was a jerk. I really liked this interview, dan is a solid guy.
I'm going to miss seeing him with Rich all the time since they are my two favorites

I don't like Sevan's interview style. He cuts Dan off several times. People want to know what Dan thinks but to cut him off abruptly that's just bad interview technique.
How did Sevan Matossian get this job?
Here's a good question: do you squat in running shoes?
And Sevan is a really good interviewer, I like his style.
dan bailey is the best to crossfit for me
entao enta em um
kkkkk
This guy still does interviews ? Lol he is great funny guy
Sevan is hilarious.
really good talk, esp the bit about steriods
I think sevan is funny, obviously he pokes fun at certain things people do say like everyone in the games is on steroids or asking who can beat rich. I think its funny personally and he still will ask serious questions
I believe Dan is telling the truth.
I really love it always comes across like peds are just sitting right in front of us and it's just a choice. Honestly if I knew where to get some I'd for sure be taking em
Good interview... I like his style
More of the long interviews!!!
This dude is so nice.
I think I just don't like people who have a hard time making eye contact with someone. Seems disrespectful.

Young soul you are. Have a conversation with me and you won't look me in the eye. You won't be able to handle that high energy
Regardless of what you think steroids would do, it doesn't make you a world class athlete. That's all I'm saying. Just because someone is on it that doesn't mean they will win the crossfit games!!
Omg his man beard....I think im in love with dan bailey now lol the things I would do
I love and hate sevan...he plays the devil's advocate and creates great interviews/videos...this was another fine example.
Sevan is hilarious
Good guy Dan Bailey
"The Dave Castro LOL

After years of reps and doing way too much cardio my Passion totally changed over time. All I think about is deadlifting now and occasionally Atlas stone lifting . My competition is the mirror slash myself for you literal snowflakes . Cf was kinda a fad that just got boring and the other strength sports were looking cooler I guess.
Sanction it and test it. Period. They, the athletes, can say no about using but as long as samples are taken periodically we can monitor progression of underground labs like the "Clear" which Marion Jones used. Those who pass and stay clean are true champions but just by viewing the stamina and musculature of these athletes there are a lot of concerns and questions.
I only wanted to hear about the 'roids part - 12:13 -- Suffered through Matossian's extreme rudeness. Dating questions? WTF?
people who sees someone ripped and big and says he takes steroids are so weak in there mind that that think you can't get big without steroids.
it's not weakness. it's logic. why don't you as a natty workout like them and see what happens to your body? work out 3x a day 6 days a week without the help of a recovery aid, aka steroids, and at the end of 6 months report back if you can even make it to that point.
taking performance enhancements is cheating. Here is why that stuff doesn't just make you a world class athlete just because. An individual still has to train hard and work hard to get stronger. My advice would be to get educated on this stuff before you say it's cheating.
*Is Not cheating.
In the world of Crossfit? No it does not matter what juice you are taking because it still requires hard work. Crossfit is to tough.
Height and weight... calculators are so not accurate!!!! I think it would be best to use a height, body weight, body percentage, and bone density calculator.. because if you just use height and weight.. its unfair to those who just tend to have a higher percent and fat shouldn't be used against you 2 times...
alllllright, so if you look at this guy lifestyle, he is a crossfitter, he workouts everyday, eats a lot everyday and knows a lot about how to recover faster. keep saying he is on drug is just make you sounds like you want to feel less insecure but if he is on drug, he have to be on drug because look at the amount of work these people are doing everyday like hell this is his life, so pls guys stop trying to compare yourself with these people
0:14 ...really?
rockin the beard. gritty!
THE Dave Castro hahaha
Aaaand it happened as he said. Froning quit. We got Ben and lets face it I respect the guy, but we dont even know why we got Ben.
Fun interview, don’t get all the hate at all...
that old man is nice LMFAO
Dan is so fking cool 😎
Some fuckn hot birds in the background ay
cheers on my danabol :D
Best sub3 yet.
froning has to keep competing for the sport to grow. if he seriously drops out as the defending champion than no one is going to care about the games
After reading through a few of these comments- do any of you understand conversational play or sarcasm? Good god. Lol
Professional Sports 90% have or are taking steroids.
Dan has not aged and sevan looks young, lol
So Dan's leaving Mayhem?
Hilarious vid
Not a huge fan of this Motassian guy. Dan Bailey's the man though! Super strong, super humble. Soli Deo Gloria.
A girlfriend? Dan's thinking "I aint got time fuh dat!"
Can't smoke=not elite lungs.
Steds don't stay in your system for long
God forbid someone has an athletic advantage over you, or works ten times harder than you ever could... Steroids is the easy answer it seems smh.. Some people just cant accept that others actually dedicate themselves to strenuous exercises. You get out what You put in
yeah... because ONE PACK of cigarette can affect your... tell me what again?
If you don’t test him during his drug use he’ll always come clean.
How do you go from a sprinter to lift 350 lbs over your head in two years🤥
Hard work and dedication
who cares if he smoked some ciggs jesus christ. Seems like it was a god forsaken thing if an athlete smoked some ciggs.
no one cares if he did...
yeah crossfit needs to start testing for drugs and becoming more strict on it
They do test for drugs at the games and the regional qualifiers
Man, you believe what you want.
Some good questions. Terrible interviewer.
Bailey seems cool that other guy though ughh.
Oh God. Anything but American Spirits.
Stop asking about roids.
guy in the green needs ball batted
I couldn't watch with the dude in the green
Fire this guy, he's so mean. First seconds of the video and already embarrassing the woman, and above all I know he was asking kind of dumb questions, but at least try to add some humor or good attitude when asking.
The interviewer is rude. How does Dan put up with that nonsense?
💞💔💋👏🏻
his fucking neck beard tho
This guy’s cat has autism.
What a terrible interviewer. I would stand up and leave
I am appalled that Sevan still has a job.
wow lol ...duh
Ya'll are insane if you don't think Dan is using PEDs
the guy in the green is so annoying
this sevan dude, "you just waisted 7 seconds of our times" so what, shut up. sounds like hes got beef with Bill Grundle
brendan walker it was a joke lol 😂
The interviewer is very obnoxious.
crossfitters act all elitist.
Keegan Gaddy haha funny these guys are wannabe strongmen and except for very few look terrible aren't strong and just end up getting injured from the terrible form and rushed sets... why would you do olympic lifting as fast as you can and high reps thats just a recipe for hurting yourself... and don't even get me started on kipping..
Keegan Gaddy You're right and I agree with everything you said there is risk in every sport and especially if you're starting off you need to have people who are knowledgeable to help you and you need to take it slowly to be able to practice the sport safely however, I have many more issues with cross fit such as the original comment mentioned above, they think they're better than everyone else "fittest person on earth" what does that even mean? whats the definition to fittest? things like this are just slogans that the company makes once they became popular and commercialized that get people hooked but don't actually have any meaning. Functional movement? Olympic weightlifting requires an extreme amount of focus and athleticism and you get noobs going in there loading the bar and doing it as fast as they can to beat a certain time. why would i want to exercise faster if I could achieve more benefits by taking my time and concentrating more (and prevent injury, :( poor kevin ogar ) it also means there is much less of an emphasis placed on form which i don't like and I can support that from some of the shitty lifts made in this video. Functional movement? I don't recall ever having to walk on my hands from point A. to point B. so that doesn't even make sense (this is just one of many examples in cross fit where this is true).You want functional movement try something like yoga which will increase longevity in ones life by giving the benefits of exercise but with lower risk on joints and tissues and the whole notion of supporting paleo dieting, I have read countless medical journals that all point towards saying there is nothing wrong with gluten unless you have celiacs disease, and whats the point of low carbs? carbohydrates are the primary energy source for your body and you just end up having no energy, lots of cross fitters just go keto and take caffein in order to be able to have even a half decent workout from no energy, the whole thing just seems so gimmicky and I might not mind it as much if it weren't so expensive but it seems like they just draw you into this whole world of "cross fitters" almost cult like and then bam you end up spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on training and coaching from some fat bald guy who took a weekend course to become a "coach", has no idea what he's doing then... you end severing your L5 vertebrae it just feels more like a business than anything else a way to make profits and less about the individuals themselves.. that being said I respect the community these people are very dedicated to what they do give it %100 (which sometimes makes them get carried away hurt themselves) and the community is very supportive of one another and it almost becomes like a family it seems so in that sense its great just not the other things listed above.
Keegan Gaddy Even for me, If i hadn't started in another sport (olympic weightlifting) and discovered cross fit first, I probably would have joined especially because i went from long distance running to weightlifting and it was really hard for me to leave running I was trying to do both but eventually I had to make a choice because I realized that in order to excel in one i couldn't do both but with cross fit you do combine both but that means all you'll ever achieve is ok both rather than good in one, which is fine if thats what you want to its also appealing in other ways the excitement the energy and I don't even know what it is but a lot of it just looks pleasing to the eye when you watch it and some of the stuff they do looks even fun to do, but overall I will never join it because of the gimmicky part and the fact that they're just looking for profit, a lot of weightlifters join cross fit because they realize theres no money in weightlifting and in order to make ends meat they join it but that won't be me, Ill never sell out
There is a level of confidence that comes with achieving goals. That is part of life. The derogatory nature of your comment suggest you should set and meet your own goals and someone else's life view will not be a problem for you.
Zooni Bubba
What goals has he achieved exactly? Juiced himself up and won? Couldn't go back to school after college and learn an occupation? An honest one? I laugh at these achievers. Achievers of nothing. I'm probably not much less fit than this guy (I don't use steroids so what do you expect? 190lbs. bench 310, 24 years in the gym. Day in day out. Sick or not.) and achieved more...... the honest way. NUFF SAID! Now back to studying for my second College Degree to be a Nurse!
This dude is a horrible interviewer
what a horrible interview
Cringe.....
I thought the interviewer was funny and dropped some good hard questions. Props.
