Okay I'm not pro crossfit or anything, I weightlift but let me tell you this in regards of the "lack of form comments" etc. Crossfit is not bodybuilding, they are not trying to target a certain muscle or whatever with their excercise so they can look the best. They have techniques to be able to do as many reps as possible in a certain time period. Saying a crossfitter's form is terrible is like telling a strongman's form is terrible when he tries to lift one of those heavy ass balls on a platform for example. They don't care, it's about getting it done.
I admire these guys a lot, ultra fit and obviously strong too, What amazes me is that a stadium full of people come to watch this, it doesn't strike me as a particularly fun 'spectator sport'.
Started crossfit two months ago it's an awesome work out. The gym is so boring to me this is the first time I actually stuck with a work out . I'm only 105lbs can't quite lift much but this helps you build strength little by little
Crossfit will be around for a long time, its more than a fad its a lifestyle. I dont personally do Crossfit, I just weight lift but it I find it just as interesting as body building or other workout programs.
Idk what there is to see.. like you dont see world record weights lifted, world record swimming this isnt the olypmics where the greatest at their sports meet. Its just like some guys that can do things slightly better than normal people get together and rebook just gives them a ton of money to make this look hype. We could have a chess tournament sponsered by nike if they put money into advertising we could get it to be on par with the superbowl.
Chris McClellan cleaning and jerking 315 pounds is not slightly better than normal people. it's obv not olympic level but it's elite. do you oly lift at all?
Rahul Dey The problem is that it is advertised as if it is olympic level. I mean, CrossFit claims the winners of the competition as "the fittest people in the world". Obviously, these competitions are not olympic level, yet it is a quantitative measure of who is the fittest? Get out of here.
Jonathan Park Exactly. Being the fittest person on the planet means being the best at the exercises that Crossfit thinks makes you the fittest. Stupid catchphrase.
I remember when I commented about doing deadlifts on the lawn in 1991 when I was at UW seattle. My frat buddies said no no no. And now there is a competition like this. There needs to be more of this type of sport.
why are they al comepeting in the same waight catagory if they have very diferent wights themselves ?? i dont get the point ... oh look the biggest dude lifted the most that was unexpected ... sigh
THE BIGGEST DUDE DEFINITELY DIDNT LIFT THE MOST WEIGHT (STUPID COMMENT). AND KEEPING EVERYONE IN THE SAME WEIGHT CATEGORY MAKES THIS COMPETITION THAT MUCH MORE INTERESTING. BECAUSE IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WIN, YOU'VE DEFINITELY PROVEN YOURSELF TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST. REMEMBER THESE COMPETITIONS INCLUDE LIFTING, SPRINTING, PUSHING, PULLING, OBSTACLES ETC... AGAIN AN INCREDIBLY IGNORANT COMMENT.
Mee OntheGo No, I definitely agree with franciscobuilt. There's hardly a male that weighs below 77kg that does well in the crossfit games...especially in the srength portion. Part of the reason why I think the Crossfit games are stupid.
franciscobuilt The biggest dude didn't win.. and they don't scale things because the leaner people have the greater chance at beating body weight movements.
power cleans/snatches are cleans/snatches that u catch parallel or above. push (power) jerks are squat jerks that u catch parallel or above. hang and block cleans and snatches are the ones u dont pull from the floor. and no im not a crossfitter, i do oly weightlifting.
Tom Waldron Huh. I guess I was thinking that "East Bound and down" was a funny show with funny lines. Think before you comment on someone else's comment......
Paul Williams "You know what, I can already tell that I don't like you. And I'm probably not gonna like you no matter how many pull ups or pushups you do."
we dont want to see people get hurt...and cross fit is notorious to having bad form because the aerobic activities compromises the anaerobic movements. we criticize it for that. cross fit wont ever criticize powerlifting because powerlifting uses great form, and cross fit utilizes bodybuilding and powerlifting form and technique
This event is actually just like professional wieghtlifting, You go for higher and higher weight and they do it with great form. They have straight backs etc. I can understand the hate on other parts of crossfit where you actually hurt yourself but this is what your wieghtlifting champions do but just with higher weights..
Karl-Arvid Svensson Rissanen i agree with you! these guys on here are using decent form...BUT..i wish there wasnt a time limit...dont mix the aerobic into ALL anaerobic stuff. calistenics and things like that i totally see the point, but not on these movements here...these are pure strength movements..dont suffer the integrity of them with the endurance and low bodyfat factors. when i posted the above comment it was referring to the person below us. im more referring to the people i see in my gym who walk around like theyre in hell because theyre in pain and or overtraining. i myself have self imposed injuries and i would always try to help people with similar problems. i also criticize the morons at my gym whom bouce the bar on their presses and swing like hell on their curls
Karl-Arvid Svensson Rissanen weightlifting competitions are not like this at all, you only have 3 attempts at the snatch and 3 attempts at the clean & Jerk to get to the heaviest weight. Sometimes you have 2 minutes between lifts sometimes 10minutes its not the same as this.
Powerlifting and great form? Are you serious? I am competetive powerlifter with max squat at 180kg, max deadlift at 220kg and 140kg bench press, raw, all at bodyweight around 75kg. I love this sport but it is just as unhealthy as crossfit. In powerlifting you are not judged based on how healthy your form is and the truth is, perfect form means less weight on the bar. Thus people use risky ultra-low bar with their back being close to parallel when they reach the parallel, arch their backs during deadlift and so on. Brutal strength prevails over technique. In olympic lifting, for instance, perfect technique is a must not only to be safe, but also to complete the lift. If you arch your back during clean you will loose potential force and most likely miss the lift. Every sport is risky on competetive level. The problem starts when risky technique puts you above, not below your opponents on the scoreboard. Powerliftings suffers from this issue just as much as crossfit.
Fittest on earth because they are the most well rounded athletes. You need to watch a day in the life of Rich Froning on youtube to appreciate just how hard they work.
I love the people who think crossfitters have bad form, your form isn't going to be perfect if your pushing yourself to the max trying to do as much as you can. If you just kept good form the whole time you would never be wenturing out of your comfort zone. These guys are flexible enough that they aren't going to get hurt
Alguien sabe cual es la marca y el modelo de las gafas de Rich Froning......Someone know ¿What is the Brand and the model of the sunglasses of Rich Froning?.....I want this sunglasses
I agree that the form starts to deteriorate but I think its due to the time limits or trying for the points. I've used cross fit workouts interspersed with strong man sets and powerlifting sets and the key in all of them for me to avoid injury is form and rest between sets. I don't rush and that keeps me safe. These guys don't have that luxury since it's competition.
Pyrros Dimas weighed 83 kg, clean and jerked 215 kilos, its not a bad thing to admit that crossfiters dont stand a chance against weightlifters.But then again crossfit is not only about weightlifting(excuse any english errors)
You have to give them some credit though, as you know Olympic lifts are highly technical, and since they aren't dedicated to one type of sport at least they have the basics down and are putting up decent numbers respectively. But other than that, I completely agree
Thank you for responding and you see my point clearly - which is crossfit is not really a clear definition. Basically I am saying I agree with you but I think their application / interpretation is a bit flawed. Better than nothing though! LOL Better for a fit America. Thank you for objectively reading what I said. It was not a slam on what they are doing, I just think it is more confusing. Where is the tough mudder component? :-)
I couldn't agree more. Crossfit definitly has an approach that can help many people getting healthier. But the whole idea behind high-rep olympic lifting ( especially which shitty form ) is senseless and, rather than becoming fitter, a quick way to get injured.
I hope at at 36:00 bill trundler says "and thats a split power clean" I hope he was joking, because that was just a "power clean," I don't think there is such a thing as a "split power clean."
I really don't think it would be necessary to make a video on my flexibility, but i can assure you I am flexible enough to do pretty much any type of sport. I have a pretty demanding job that needs to be able to move, not all BBs fit your "VIEW" of them. Sorry the amount of muscle I have threatens you.
He would demolish it since he has a record of over 510 lbs. However he wouldnt place that well overall. he said he would compete towards X-fit games 2015 i believe :P
Ben Smith at 345LBS clean and Jerk, he should had made that small opening rebound again after he clean it since he stop at the top just slightly bounce coming down with the bar and explode again to the top so he can have that opening again, but he will made it, He just needs to master that bounce technique more since it's natural for him that movement.
I'm not saying these guys are drug free, but what I'm saying is that the amount of weight these guys are lifting is very possible to do drug free. This coming from a man who is competetive olympic lifter in Finland and even in my gym guys weighting around 170lbs can score these kind of weights, drug free.
Did i ever say he wouldn't dominate this event? No i didn't, and you have no idea if he would because this is after 2 full days of competition and they had already done 2 workouts before this event. Klokov would probably not be able to hit any numbers close to his max snatch and clean and jerk because he wouldn't be used to being as fatigued and tired as these guys were. These guys are still hitting close to their maxes after 2 1/2 days of competition.
These comments are funny here. it is amusing how people show there ignorance by comparing an endurance race to a guy doing Oly weightlifting. Two totally different things. there is no argument here just disrespect from people that could not even enter the ring with crossfitters. there is no weight classes because it is a race not a lifting competition. Makes me wonder how the people being speaking so badly of the crossfitters can even call them self an athlete. Athletes can do it all not just lift and prove it on the field not just talk on youtube.
I really dont get the point of trash talking about CF here. No one is obliged to like CF and is free to have different opinion. But why waste ones time to simply trash talk? I rather waste my time watching stuff I like, like CF and not trash talking about stuff I dont.
absolutely american is a perfect title. lol You should google Neuroendocrine adaptation and do a lil reading about aerobic vs. anaerobic thresholds. Doing just one is doing fitness half way bro. The best powerlifters will get their A$$ handed to them during one crossfit session. If you think differently please tell me why the hell all the powerlifters are not dominating these Crossfit games?????? afterall, it is a Million dollars????
This is all metcon; conditioning takes no time to build when compared to strength. That's why the fact that Klokov snatches 200, CnJs 232, squats ~300 (judging by recent 240x10), means he will be able to easily win all the strength events and since cardio is easy, he'll be dominant. Whereas these guys here would never be Olympians. Lucas Parker is a crossfitter because he gave up olympic lifting so he could be the best at something, and he out clean and jerked all these guys. What's that say
yeah wtf this stuff is crazy hard, theyre pretty much front squatting 300+ lbs then military pressing it up. You probably will never in your life be able to do that
What I find strange is why they think its a big risk to start at 315? If you have a good C&J why not? makes way more sense. Getting at much bigger weight with less lifts behind you. Especially seeing as that weight is going over head!! Much safer as well.
Crossfit teaches you how to snap something. Pretentious people do crossfit because they could not make a team or contribute to a real sport in a meaningful. Best in the weightroom, worst mofo on the field.
I love how, statistically speaking, a good 80-90% of people who hate on crossfit videos have absolutely zero videos of themselves doing any sort of exercise.
All these people talking shit. Let's see a video of you cleaning anything above 275... Not defensing anything, but so much hate, all talk. You don't clean and jerk 315 with bad form, I'm sorry. You can get away with that shit on lighter weight, but after a certain point for has to be on point to move that kind of weight, and for most of THESE guys it is, not speaking on general CF, just these dudes in the video, pretty sure they would smash anyone talking shit here on UA-cam.
I cleaned 120kg (about 5 weeks ago), don't know what that is in pounds since weight lifting is done metrically. I'm not talking shit, these people are very strong. But they are very bad at the movements, considering they're supposed to be the best crossfit has to offer. Heck, not even close to half of these lifts would be passed in weight lifting competition due to press outs. They are very inefficiant in their bar paths and their jerks aren't passable. Now that's not me saying that I am better than them. With all the other training they are doing they probably don't have time to get their weight lifting perfected. But from a weight lifting perspective this is still pretty awful.
***** Fair enough, I'm not as strong as them. But this isn't about me, I just wanted to qualify it by proving I have been dabbling slightly in weight lifting. Yes, there probably are people who do dedicate their lives to sports and aren't as good as these people are. But it's still true that these athletes could do a lot better with proper technique. They are a lot stronger than what is required to lift those weights.
Joseph Suh well since it's a hypothetical bet i'll bet .........a millions gazillion quajillion dollars. AP's teammates say he squats more then anyone on his team that's including O and D line and in general they say he's an overall a crazy gym freak with mad strength. you know his conditioning is there. and if youve seem him run he's one of the fastest more agile RB's in the league if you gave him some train up let's say a year, hopefully he can handstand, yeah i'll take that bet. why would he not be able to? is there some kind of weird skill or secret to crossfit? it professional workouts and the person with best strength and fitness wins. AP has that. i'll bet you another thing. Rich froning (and i like and respect rich) could never run the rock like AP or probably make it to an nfl training camp. as a matter of fact i bet there are at least a dozen or more other athletes in the NFL if they decided to quit football and go crossfit they would dominate this tournament
Well, I'd argue that if a buncha crossfitters quit CrossFit, they could make it big in the NFL... same with Oly Weightlifters (or any other Oly-level athlete). Thing is, you never know. Usain Bolt tried out for football but he supposedly failed - miserably. Simultaneously though, how many NFL players do you know who can run 100 meters in 9 and a half seconds?
Joseph Suh exactly usain bolt tried out for nfl and nothing. but i bet theres a hand full of nfl players if they went track instead of football would be top ten track athletes. desean jackson, chris johnson, just to name a couple. it all boils down to where the money's at. the best athletes play for the biggest prize
Lucas Parker has some good Joints, he probably warm real real and I mean real good on this event, I know he does like to warm real good when it comes to Oly Lifting sometimes it takes 2 long hours of warm, stretch warm up again and restretch again lol . I mean come on, no knee wrist straps or even a belt, no nothing, sure it is warming up real good to perform at full power with nothing on, it works. It's just patience people don't like to warm up or stretch for no more than 30 minutes and relies on knee, wrist straps, belt and more.... The only athlete that clean and jerk so clean. nice work Lucas P. working on this event with nothing on.
I like crossfit except that they should have diff. weight categories like any other real 'sport'. You can't put a heavyweight and featherweight in the ring together. This 'sport' is geared so that it's maximized for 180 - 220 pounders. Any weight above or below.... well. No matter how much and how well you utilize your muscle or how compact you are, you can't be #1 because the weight load is too much. Not exactly fair and it needs to be worked on
11:18 Best lift ever done by a cameraman.
If anyone is going to critique, critique the form. Stop dissing the athletes for the weight. This isn't the olympics, it doesn't say that.
Okay I'm not pro crossfit or anything, I weightlift but let me tell you this in regards of the "lack of form comments" etc. Crossfit is not bodybuilding, they are not trying to target a certain muscle or whatever with their excercise so they can look the best. They have techniques to be able to do as many reps as possible in a certain time period. Saying a crossfitter's form is terrible is like telling a strongman's form is terrible when he tries to lift one of those heavy ass balls on a platform for example. They don't care, it's about getting it done.
BlackSchaap bad form leads to injuries. Compound excercises under time constraint lead to injuries. Is that so hard to get?
I admire these guys a lot, ultra fit and obviously strong too, What amazes me is that a stadium full of people come to watch this, it doesn't strike me as a particularly fun 'spectator sport'.
Donny Shankle should compete in this segment haha
i was going to say that lmao
if only he was an overall FIT athlete. he is a Phenomenal OLY lifter but put down the broad test of fitness and lets see where he places.
Alan Bencomo That is why he said in this segment...
yeah, and do all the events the did before hand its a different story, Clarkstown South Vikings 2017
True, but in reference to this particular event I think he'd shine
Started crossfit two months ago it's an awesome work out. The gym is so boring to me this is the first time I actually stuck with a work out . I'm only 105lbs can't quite lift much but this helps you build strength little by little
Crossfit will be around for a long time, its more than a fad its a lifestyle. I dont personally do Crossfit, I just weight lift but it I find it just as interesting as body building or other workout programs.
Seriously though how bad do you suck if you're one of the people in the crowd?
Idk what there is to see.. like you dont see world record weights lifted, world record swimming this isnt the olypmics where the greatest at their sports meet. Its just like some guys that can do things slightly better than normal people get together and rebook just gives them a ton of money to make this look hype. We could have a chess tournament sponsered by nike if they put money into advertising we could get it to be on par with the superbowl.
Chris McClellan cleaning and jerking 315 pounds is not slightly better than normal people. it's obv not olympic level but it's elite. do you oly lift at all?
Rahul Dey The problem is that it is advertised as if it is olympic level. I mean, CrossFit claims the winners of the competition as "the fittest people in the world". Obviously, these competitions are not olympic level, yet it is a quantitative measure of who is the fittest? Get out of here.
Jonathan Park Exactly. Being the fittest person on the planet means being the best at the exercises that Crossfit thinks makes you the fittest. Stupid catchphrase.
Rahul Dey depending on your bodyweight sure!
I remember when I commented about doing deadlifts on the lawn in 1991 when I was at UW seattle. My frat buddies said no no no. And now there is a competition like this. There needs to be more of this type of sport.
why are they al comepeting in the same waight catagory if they have very diferent wights themselves ?? i dont get the point ... oh look the biggest dude lifted the most that was unexpected ... sigh
There are a blend of competitions...Bigger isn't always better...eg pullups....Swimming running etc..
ur an idiot
THE BIGGEST DUDE DEFINITELY DIDNT LIFT THE MOST WEIGHT (STUPID COMMENT). AND KEEPING EVERYONE IN THE SAME WEIGHT CATEGORY MAKES THIS COMPETITION THAT MUCH MORE INTERESTING. BECAUSE IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE THAT YOU WIN, YOU'VE DEFINITELY PROVEN YOURSELF TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST. REMEMBER THESE COMPETITIONS INCLUDE LIFTING, SPRINTING, PUSHING, PULLING, OBSTACLES ETC... AGAIN AN INCREDIBLY IGNORANT COMMENT.
Mee OntheGo No, I definitely agree with franciscobuilt. There's hardly a male that weighs below 77kg that does well in the crossfit games...especially in the srength portion. Part of the reason why I think the Crossfit games are stupid.
franciscobuilt The biggest dude didn't win.. and they don't scale things because the leaner people have the greater chance at beating body weight movements.
power cleans/snatches are cleans/snatches that u catch parallel or above. push (power) jerks are squat jerks that u catch parallel or above. hang and block cleans and snatches are the ones u dont pull from the floor. and no im not a crossfitter, i do oly weightlifting.
Антон! Thank you for this video!
"I play real sports. Not trying to be the best at exercising." Kenny Powers
Olympic Weightlifting is a real sport, clean & jerk being half of that sport. Think before you comment.
Tom Waldron Huh. I guess I was thinking that "East Bound and down" was a funny show with funny lines. Think before you comment on someone else's comment......
Paul Williams "You know what, I can already tell that I don't like you. And I'm probably not gonna like you no matter how many pull ups or pushups you do."
MrPaglissi Yet you still liked my comment?
MrPaglissi You are being immature, please grow up :D
Lol at all the haters watching an hour long crossfit video

Deceiver i disagree. and i could care less about your numbers, btw. technique always prevails over everything in every context.
Which other lifts do you do in crossfit? I've seen a few vids, but never done it myself so don't know.
Fittest on earth because they are the most well rounded athletes. You need to watch a day in the life of Rich Froning on youtube to appreciate just how hard they work.

whats with the tape all over some of them
are there weight classes in CF?
nope
so this event makes even less sense then before.
Alguien sabe cual es la marca y el modelo de las gafas de Rich Froning......Someone know ¿What is the Brand and the model of the sunglasses of Rich Froning?.....I want this sunglasses
I agree that the form starts to deteriorate but I think its due to the time limits or trying for the points.

Pyrros Dimas weighed 83 kg, clean and jerked 215 kilos, its not a bad thing to admit that crossfiters dont stand a chance against weightlifters.But then again crossfit is not only about weightlifting(excuse any english errors)
the fittest on earth?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
HAHAHAHHA
AHAHAHAHSDASHDASHDJASHSJAHDJAH!!!!
The legs on those female judges... They all have amazing legs!
I saw so many Dimas head snaps after the clean. :D
Looking forward to seeing your clean & jerk video at these weights, including slowly lowering it from overhead.
Reebok just got extremely rich by mixing shit together.
You have to give them some credit though, as you know Olympic lifts are highly technical, and since they aren't dedicated to one type of sport at least they have the basics down and are putting up decent numbers respectively. But other than that, I completely agree

I couldn't agree more. Crossfit definitly has an approach that can help many people getting healthier. But the whole idea behind high-rep olympic lifting ( especially which shitty form ) is senseless and, rather than becoming fitter, a quick way to get injured.
so thats what they can lift? is it a pro competition?
Lucas Parker- Ideal physique.
It favors people good at the Clean & Jerk.
Also your 'sex appeal' trolls are funny, keep up the productive input.
lucas parker is a beast
That was awesome! Makes me wanna lift RIGHT NOW!
Lucas Parker Rules!!
I think the guy who led this off also led off the power clean ladder last year.
thats probably the most accurate insult ive read on youtube
I would like to see Dmitry klokov compete in this discipline he would be like that's all? it's just warming up? give me some more! haha
Could somebody tell me the name of the guy with the red "Reebok" shirt?
You mean the one from 4:18? That's Orlando Trejo.
I hope at at 36:00 bill trundler says "and thats a split power clean" I hope he was joking, because that was just a "power clean," I don't think there is such a thing as a "split power clean."
That movement was so ugly I don't even know if you could classify that as a "power clean." The most embarrassing lift in this entire video...
lol yup
Haha that lift was disgraceful
Oh my god.. what is that kid doing. Jesus. Train wreck.
My question always is why are they power cleaning at a 1RM clean & Jerk event, you can never go as heavy as a clean.
name of the first song pls
They dont?
Crossfit: oh what perfect form. Weightlifter: dude wtf was that?
I really don't think it would be necessary to make a video on my flexibility, but i can assure you I am flexible enough to do pretty much any type of sport. I have a pretty demanding job that needs to be able to move, not all BBs fit your "VIEW" of them. Sorry the amount of muscle I have threatens you.
He would demolish it since he has a record of over 510 lbs. However he wouldnt place that well overall. he said he would compete towards X-fit games 2015 i believe :P
Do you even Lift Bro!
They do test but its easy to stop taking anything when you know your going to be tested soon.
yet more powerful then crossfitter. Had to say it.
I prefer bodybuilding and mma training. But I have a lot of respect for what these guys do. I don't get the hate
the power of the beard
Yes, that may be true. Backyard or garage might be safer.
It looks hot as hell out there.
Tian tao would ridicule everyone here
Ben Smith at 345LBS clean and Jerk, he should had made that small opening rebound again after he clean it since he stop at the top just slightly bounce coming down with the bar and explode again to the top so he can have that opening again, but he will made it, He just needs to master that bounce technique more since it's natural for him that movement.
now i want to lift
He asked how I got so big.. I said Crossfit. Hahahahaha.
CJ Cummings could destroy any of these people!
"He looks solid on the front squat"...its a clean. one of the reasons I hate cross fit.
I'm not saying these guys are drug free, but what I'm saying is that the amount of weight these guys are lifting is very possible to do drug free. This coming from a man who is competetive olympic lifter in Finland and even in my gym guys weighting around 170lbs can score these kind of weights, drug free.
The MAX weight class for olypmic lifters is 105kg....or 230 pounds. They weigh the same or less than these guys
they do
Crossfit is such a joke
so then why are you here on this channel if this is a joke?
Because I like a good laugh every once in awhile.
True dat.
Did you see someone get hurt???
Did i ever say he wouldn't dominate this event? No i didn't, and you have no idea if he would because this is after 2 full days of competition and they had already done 2 workouts before this event. Klokov would probably not be able to hit any numbers close to his max snatch and clean and jerk because he wouldn't be used to being as fatigued and tired as these guys were.

YOU WILL FEAR THE BEARD!!!!!
Snap City
21:37 woo... powerful Jerk
Yeah man it's been fun. Keep up the "posing" and don't OD on spray tanner.
"FEAR THE BEARD"
They all MAYBE in tough competition if russians started crossfit.
I really dont get the point of trash talking about CF here. No one is obliged to like CF and is free to have different opinion. But why waste ones time to simply trash talk? I rather waste my time watching stuff I like, like CF and not trash talking about stuff I dont.
Are you trash talking about trash talking?...thats gets me sooo mad
jdkit Nope....I dont trash talk. no reason to get mad :)
absolutely american is a perfect title. lol You should google Neuroendocrine adaptation and do a lil reading about aerobic vs. anaerobic thresholds. Doing just one is doing fitness half way bro. The best powerlifters will get their A$$ handed to them during one crossfit session. If you think differently please tell me why the hell all the powerlifters are not dominating these Crossfit games?????? afterall, it is a Million dollars????
HAHAHA the commentators man, wtf are even talking about.
"You will fear the beard"
Hardest part about doing bicep curls and then taking pictures in the mirror............. Telling your parents you don't know what you are.
This is all metcon; conditioning takes no time to build when compared to strength. That's why the fact that Klokov snatches 200, CnJs 232, squats ~300 (judging by recent 240x10), means he will be able to easily win all the strength events and since cardio is easy, he'll be dominant.
Whereas these guys here would never be Olympians. Lucas Parker is a crossfitter because he gave up olympic lifting so he could be the best at something, and he out clean and jerked all these guys. What's that say
why are all these guys just warming up? is anyone gonna lift something heavy?
THe scariest type of polite person haaha
snapcity
Most of these lifts dont count......press-out on the jerk gets 3 red lights
I always feel like they're going to crumple under the weight DX!!
you will FEAR the BEARD!!!
yeah wtf this stuff is crazy hard, theyre pretty much front squatting 300+ lbs then military pressing it up. You probably will never in your life be able to do that
What I find strange is why they think its a big risk to start at 315?
If you have a good C&J why not? makes way more sense. Getting at much bigger weight with less lifts behind you. Especially seeing as that weight is going over head!! Much safer as well.
Parker reminds me of Trevor :D
The angry Canadian >:D
Crossfit teaches you how to snap something. Pretentious people do crossfit because they could not make a team or contribute to a real sport in a meaningful. Best in the weightroom, worst mofo on the field.
bro. do you even lift
Look at the little soccer fan, go kick a ball.
ThatFightingInfo
and you are? That's right, a low life piece of shit.
I love how, statistically speaking, a good 80-90% of people who hate on crossfit videos have absolutely zero videos of themselves doing any sort of exercise.
lol if these guys are the best in the weight room then you need to find a new weight room.
All these people talking shit. Let's see a video of you cleaning anything above 275... Not defensing anything, but so much hate, all talk. You don't clean and jerk 315 with bad form, I'm sorry. You can get away with that shit on lighter weight, but after a certain point for has to be on point to move that kind of weight, and for most of THESE guys it is, not speaking on general CF, just these dudes in the video, pretty sure they would smash anyone talking shit here on UA-cam.
I cleaned 120kg (about 5 weeks ago), don't know what that is in pounds since weight lifting is done metrically. I'm not talking shit, these people are very strong. But they are very bad at the movements, considering they're supposed to be the best crossfit has to offer. Heck, not even close to half of these lifts would be passed in weight lifting competition due to press outs.
They are very inefficiant in their bar paths and their jerks aren't passable. Now that's not me saying that I am better than them. With all the other training they are doing they probably don't have time to get their weight lifting perfected. But from a weight lifting perspective this is still pretty awful.
***** Fair enough, I'm not as strong as them. But this isn't about me, I just wanted to qualify it by proving I have been dabbling slightly in weight lifting.
Yes, there probably are people who do dedicate their lives to sports and aren't as good as these people are. But it's still true that these athletes could do a lot better with proper technique. They are a lot stronger than what is required to lift those weights.
i bet adrian peterson a.k.a. purple jesus could enter this tourney and finish top 5 overall.
How much will you be willing to bet?
Joseph Suh well since it's a hypothetical bet i'll bet .........a millions gazillion quajillion dollars. AP's teammates say he squats more then anyone on his team that's including O and D line and in general they say he's an overall a crazy gym freak with mad strength. you know his conditioning is there. and if youve seem him run he's one of the fastest more agile RB's in the league if you gave him some train up let's say a year, hopefully he can handstand, yeah i'll take that bet. why would he not be able to? is there some kind of weird skill or secret to crossfit? it professional workouts and the person with best strength and fitness wins. AP has that.
i'll bet you another thing. Rich froning (and i like and respect rich) could never run the rock like AP or probably make it to an nfl training camp.
as a matter of fact i bet there are at least a dozen or more other athletes in the NFL if they decided to quit football and go crossfit they would dominate this tournament
Well, I'd argue that if a buncha crossfitters quit CrossFit, they could make it big in the NFL... same with Oly Weightlifters (or any other Oly-level athlete). Thing is, you never know.
Usain Bolt tried out for football but he supposedly failed - miserably. Simultaneously though, how many NFL players do you know who can run 100 meters in 9 and a half seconds?
To each sports its own. There's some degree of comparison but ultimately, it's going to end up with the same conclusion.
Joseph Suh exactly usain bolt tried out for nfl and nothing. but i bet theres a hand full of nfl players if they went track instead of football would be top ten track athletes. desean jackson, chris johnson, just to name a couple. it all boils down to where the money's at. the best athletes play for the biggest prize
This is like Paralympics. Some kind of weak Olympic weight lifters here
11:16 The ViEW THOUGH!!!
Can someone show me how to dislike this more than once pls ty
Alright now lets see how many reps and sets they can do with PROPER form. ;)
Froning @ 41 min
Lucas Parker has some good Joints, he probably warm real real and I mean real good on this event, I know he does like to warm real good when it comes to Oly Lifting sometimes it takes 2 long hours of warm, stretch warm up again and restretch again lol . I mean come on, no knee wrist straps or even a belt, no nothing, sure it is warming up real good to perform at full power with nothing on, it works. It's just patience people don't like to warm up or stretch for no more than 30 minutes and relies on knee, wrist straps, belt and more.... The only athlete that clean and jerk so clean. nice work Lucas P. working on this event with nothing on.
I like crossfit except that they should have diff. weight categories like any other real 'sport'. You can't put a heavyweight and featherweight in the ring together.
This 'sport' is geared so that it's maximized for 180 - 220 pounders. Any weight above or below.... well. No matter how much and how well you utilize your muscle or how compact you are, you can't be #1 because the weight load is too much.
Not exactly fair and it needs to be worked on
