No, it's because crossfit workouts are a joke. Why you may ask? Kipping pullups, one leg squats, terrible form power clean and jerks (destined for a horrible injury). These do not give you gains, or strength. The people who compete in the top class crossfit games get that big and strong from prior power lifting and actual cross training, NOT crossfit workouts.
a lot of the timing also has to do with being spectator-friendly. plus, if logistics allowed all women would compete in one massive heat. if that was possible they could do "two minute cap from the time 1st place finishes". however b/c it was 3+ heats per event, that would be a different time cap for every heat, which would demolish the universality of each event.
the creators of the games always have to invent something you have never done, which is quite original handstand and quite difficult to do after the first exercise . =)
IMO the time for finishing should be x amount of minutes/Seconds after 1st Place finishes... But i Guess theyve done some Math and testing as to setting the timelimit at 7 minutes
This such a random event. Kettlebell pistol squats, deadlifts, and handstand walk? This is to say nothing of the fitness it takes to do it, but it just seems like a random assortment of activities.
On first read through I thought you said that it didn't imply fitness to do this, I was about to say... I may think cross fitters are a bunch of morons, but I'll be damned if they're not in shape.
Looser are talking shit about this. it shows they have no idea what this work out is all about. They are probably sitting on their couches all day long criticizing.
It is not the "fittest man on earth," it's the "crossfittest man on earth." There is no such thing as the fittest man on earth. If there was such, it would mean he can run faster than Usain Bolt, jump higher than Javier Sotomayor, swim faster than Michael Phelps, etc.
insane569 I like corssift, but Corssfitters do average numbers [in comparison to the specialized disciples], and with terrible form e.g "muscle-ups," so it is an insult to call them the fittest people on earth. IN simple, they are jacks of all trades, and masters of none. So how can they be the fittest, when yet they are not even the fittest in anything? THERE IS NO SUCH THING IN THE WORLD AS A FITTEST PERSON! It is an impossible absolute. Disclaimer: With the exception of Captain America.
***** I watch Crossfit because I like it a lot, but it is this " most fittest" nonsense slogan that gets on my nerves. Just imagine if there was a galactic competition and earth was asked to present it's most extraordinary athletes. Do these guys really think they are the ones we would send?!
Both of you are absolutely fucking stupid. Usain Bolt is the fastest runner, but all he is, is a runner. He doesn't do gymnastic movements or olympic lifts. Javier Sotomayer can jump, but that'ss all he does. If you put any of these guys against a crossfitter in multiple events that take different aspects of fitness, they would not succeed. That is the point of these games. Its your OVERALL fitness event. What the fuck is so hard to understand? You wanna see athletes whom excel in their respective sport? Watch the fucking Olympics, or basketball, or soccer, or whatever fucking sport you're wanting to see, otherwise shut the fuck up. However, you probably wont shut the fuck up, and you probably hate the Olympics too. P.S. i'm not a crossfitter so don't try to use that as a comeback.
Basically, yes. That's what fitness is referred to. Otherwise, yes you'd see them playing basketball, lacrosse, nascar, blah blah. Yes, they have people who have bad form. Crossfit is new, it's not perfect, it has plenty of holes. But go into any golds gym, LA fitness, it wont take you long to find someone doing curls with momentum, when it's an isolating lift. You'll see people doing tricep extensions incorrectly. I'd even go as far as saying i've seen people "kip" their tricep extensions. People are always gonna hate on anything that's new, or what they don't understand. Crossfit is no exception to this. But know this, crossfit is growing faster than any other fitness program.
The exercise list sucks. Do not make women do one legged squats with weight. It will hurt their knees. This is cruel. A woman's legs are beautiful and sacred and should be protected. This is immoral.
Fitness is defined by the quanitive measure of several things, so no, the fittest man on earth wouldn't have to outrun Usain bolt and out swim Phelps. He would just have to have the highest total of the several parts of fitness. And to people saying those aren't muscle ups, have you ever seen a gymnast spinning around the bar with strict form? No. It's a gymnastics kip
lol at people hating on crossfit ( i am not even a fan, im now watching and evaluating). personally i hate tomatoes but i do not launch attacking statements at tomato lovers
I wonder why they allow so much taping, it can add support and give them an advantage in the event. Like here you see some have both shoulders taped, you'd be surprised how the right taping can help, and it's no accident its an event that relies heavily on shoulder strength and endurance. Power lifters make the same argument about thick shirts that can prevent pectoral injury, but conveniently increases how much they can bench, some well over 100 lbs more.

In the marines I was my platoon high shooter, high pt man, first in the 3 mile run, first in the obstacle course, first in the circuit course, I won a camp meet and I could shoot the eye out of a fly at 100 yds...and still this stuff scares me...
Don't get butthurt people but i don't see what i like. Only couple did clear right technique with movements, like some did deadlifts from bounce which imo shouldn't even count. Same thing with pistol, hand stand is idiotic, and girls have more testosterone in them than average man. Still props for all 'cause each to his / her own. If you like this, no worries, feel free to! =)
I think you are confusing this with a powerlifting event. they are two different events with different sets of rules. Bouncing the deadlift is 100% allowed per the movement standards, so everyone did the movements properly. If you are still confused, just read the rule book :)
The point of a dead lift is that the weight is 'dead', ie. not moving before it's lifted. Using 'bounce' from the weight being lowered fast, so that it almost rebounds back up into the air is using it's momentum to help with the lift.
Funny how people talk bad about CrossFit, while they are now sitting on the couch eating big mac gaining weight like shit.

First 2 minutes were pretty awkward lol
I really want ro get into crossfit all i do right now is in home workouts.
they are so cool

Что за музыка играла на 10-й минуте?

Hot women.
Looser are talking shit about this. it shows they have no idea what this work out is all about. They are probably sitting on their couches all day long criticizing.
those are not fucking muscle ups!!!!!! those are back-up-rises sooooo much swing

This is over all fitness.
Not who specializes in everything.
Just over all fitness.

1:02 that escalated quickly.
Seriously I thought she was gonna set his ass on fire : o The awkwardness was palpable.
And not a single muscle up was seen that day.

I don't get what all the hate is about, if you are so high and mighty, go do it yourself. If you can't do it, don't talk.

i hate crossfit but omg these women are fit... shame the stuff they do can ruin them.
+Jigsjigz ruin them???
+Jigsjigz ruin them???
+mendesana friv yeah too many injuries... :( they get hurt and stuff over doing it.
Jigsjigz i understand some of the exercises look poorly executed....the pull ups are not pull ups and so on....
+mendesana friv yep that's how they get hurt and ruin their bodies, other than that omg chicks with abs! 0:)
Don't get butthurt people but i don't see what i like. Only couple did clear right technique with movements, like some did deadlifts from bounce which imo shouldn't even count.

Tony Tiso
Ahh you are right, i didn't know about that rule. :) Thanks for the info.
Surely it shouldn't be called a DEADlift then?
Skiddins Why not?
The point of a dead lift is that the weight is 'dead', ie. not moving before it's lifted. Using 'bounce' from the weight being lowered fast, so that it almost rebounds back up into the air is using it's momentum to help with the lift.
What are the buckets for?
Chalk / powder
whitest sport in the history of the universe
+YoutubSUCKZ i'm sure thee are blacks and latinas who compete as well
Ya'd forgotten 1-st Olimpics in Greece.
