Muhammad Ali said he hated every second of training like a pest, but he did it anyway because the results are worth all the pain. Don't assume that people who work out a lot actually enjoy working out.
I like how they all didn’t just outright bash it like the majority of people do, especially those not too involved in fitness, but rather acknowledged it has its place among the general population and it’s differences with their sport. As well as the fact that they’re aware that just because they can lift heavy, doesn’t mean they will be able to match a crossfitter rep for rep on a lighter weight. their sport is so focused on explosive power and absolute strength, they couldn’t fit in the endurance needed for CrossFit (and plus it’s probably counterintuitive for their needs). Still, wouldn’t mind seeing them try a popular WOD during their conditioning periods for fun.
It's because they focus on talking about the concept of CrossFit, i don't think they know how dangerous and shitty most coaches make it to be, they have seen the elite athletes compete, i don't think they've seen beginners bein cued wrong, otherwise their perspective would be wider. I like crossfit for what it is, it's like a religion, it's not bad in itself, but there's people that can make it outright dangerous and shitty.
@@Al.j.Vasquez I don’t personally care for CrossFit but I always hear people talk about how dangerous it is. Based on what? I’ve looked for actual evidence and it seems the injury rate isn’t much different than weightlifting, powerlifting or bodybuilding. I think it’s no different than the people who don’t lift at all telling you how dangerous it is to lift heavy. Just BS frankly
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing this! Cool to see they are respectful and acknowledge the positive aspects of crossfit, even if not personally liking it or including on their own training.
That was a great video idea, I'd be interested in their take on strongman xD On a side note, Yilin are you aware that Li Dayin has his own (actually verified) account on social media? Weibo it is. Haven't seen anyone mention it here so far :)
I'm guessing Lu Xiaojun is more open to try out Crossfit because he's at the tail end of his lifting career and sees the importance of lifting technique and endurance training (as opposed to pure strength and explosiveness). The other 2 guys are in their 20s and can get even stronger. It's a mindset that comes with age... Well that's my speculation anyways....
CrossFit and 'Importance of technique' are paradoxical. If you want endurance training, don't do heavy weights for high reps. Your technique falls the fuck apart the more you do that (CrossFit incentivises poor form for big numbers, even at its elite level). Bad technique plus heavy weight is just ego lifting and fast tracking injuries.
@@-Azure.EXE- I personally train high rep compound lifts for HIIT and you're right ... Doing that with a competitive mindset will put you in a bad place. It's the same for driving, eating or any other activity. If someone can't control his/her own ego, bad things happen. I think CrossFit should be regarded as a training program rather than a sport.
I personally don’t like CrossFit but I will respect their whole motto which is to train harder and harder. It’s just the way they do things that could easily be preventable such as the many injuries that may occur when they are training and their… “pull-ups”
I feel like their just infamous cause of the meme culture. People say these crpssfitter can't perform a good pull ups, when in fact they do those swinging pull ups are only for competition to get as many reps as possible in least amount of time. But the reality is they do infact train normal pulls ups and they are actually insane at them, most of them can do insane weighted pull ups, hell even weighted muscle ups.
With any sort of training, there is good and bad training. It occurs in all types of training, including cross fit... A lot of people who do cross fit are stacked. On top of that, I believe its great there is a community that supports it and people have the opportunity to enjoy being able to train.
Honest opinions from athletes that dont have a biased opinion because they are trying to sell their product like the Jillian’s n the Herrera’s of the world. I respect all.
It’s a sport like any other sport focused on endurance and strength. The only people I’ve seen that love to make fun of CrossFit are bro bodybuilders and charlatans online that act like powerlifters and Olympic lifters never have their form break down in competition or when going for PR’s. Not to mention people that act like movements like butterfly pull-ups require no skill, strength or endurance, when they themselves cant string even five of them together in a row despite having all the strict pull up experience in the world. Is there an injury risk? Of course! But what sport doesn’t have an injury risk? The only valid criticism I’ve heard is with individual CrossFit gyms that don’t do a good job of teaching proper form, or don’t prevent their clients from ego lifting, but that certainly doesn’t apply to the entire sport. Far from it. And besides, the same thing applies to any other individual gym scenario with bad coaches. The anti CrossFit stuff is so incredibly stale at this point.
@Noah Richter my mom work out at a crossfit class that's make everyone using the same weight just different color so pp won't feel bad when work out near someone stronger than them make me lose all my respect for cross fit
@Noah Richter i never seen a single human who train crossfit and get jacked my hole damm life , a damm big gym in a big city and not a single one , event the couch , looking at their training , hell crossfit is a bunch of bull shit
"Is there an injury risk? Of course! But what sport doesn’t have an injury risk?" - is this serious argument for 13year olds? Throwing probabilities ranging from very low to very high under - all sports have injury risks? Crossfit is a combination of complex movements, time limits and higher number of exercises to master. This combined with imperfect coaching leads to break down of technique and dramatically raises the risk of immediate injury or much higher rate of wear & tear. There is no escaping this fact.
If a proficient weightlifter educated himself in CrossFit, that would make one hell of a good coach, and that's the issue, people want to have a satisfying experience, they don't want to pay for technical guidance as much as they want to feel their hearts pumping like crazy.
Klokov made a ton of money traveling the world a few years back teaching crossfitters and his seminars were very popular so I wouldn’t say people wouldn’t pay for it. A few other top level lifters have too like Torokhtiy.
@@brettb5089 Yes, and that's great, specially for those who want to do it right, but most people just wanna get a pump and sweat like a pig, and most coaches value reps over form.
@@Al.j.Vasquez most crossfit coaches value form over reps - but to be honest for guys like me (36, busy life, okish form) im looking to turn up sweat like a pig and have a laugh with mates twice a week.
They have quite a bit of insight in what the different sports require and the specificity of their training. And no animosity against it either. They sound like rather smart guys.
Finally some people who arent needlessly bashing crossfit. I am no crossfitter, and those weird pull ups kind of annoy me, but crossfit seems so much fun.
It's a blast but we all have our McDonald's in life. Wveryone hates our pull-ups but if we need to get 100 of them done in let's say 2min then which strategy would you choose. Strict or butterfly. Try it out thou, some beautiful beasts in booty shorts
@@mr8089 yeah, i definetly will! and i just always valued quality over quantity. i rather do less with good form as more with bad form. but that's just my opinion.
1:30 Wow! Very thoughtful - like general public can associate themselves with a crossfit champion, because they can lift some of his results in a lower rep range(or even push for more reps). But viewers can't see themselves in a Weighlifting champion, because they don`t train like that and can`t imagine champion`s struggle.
Shi is quite knowledgeable about physiology and that’s great. Good responses from all and acknowledging how they wouldn’t switch sports and dominate as people think
No, because the internet has talked about that a bazillion times and it's the same as for everything: you don't enter a half pipe before hopping your first ollie, it's stupid and no one would advise you to do that. If you chose to do so anyway, fine, but don't blame the sport of skateboarding if you break your neck in the course 🤷
Crossfit and weightlifting are two sports, they have some commons, but training methods are different. Weightlifter can be crossfitter if train crossfit for a while.
Can you make it possible to see their opinions about strongman? It's definitely something I am totally eager to hear, since it also involves having great endurance and a huge amount of strenght.
The only thing I don’t like about CrossFit is their terrible form in pull ups. But I’m sure when it comes snatch and C&J they can lift more than the majority in the bodybuilding community
I think the mistake is to promote crossfit as a practical method for weight loss or muscle condition. O don't know anyone in great chape because of crossfit and the ones you see they were like that already but nobody from overweight status getting on shape. Its not for me.
Well whats is sure is that this weightlifting semi gods don't know in deep the CrossFit concept of training. They just touch surfaces like reps and reps, endurance, aerobic... CrossFit has a theoretical framework much complex and based on evidence and science (not marketing). So is wrong to them not to know this? Of course not, they just know in deep about Weightlifting... but sure if they research more in bibliography they will sure have more tool to answers for interviewer questions.
There’s nothing wrong inherently with CrossFit. Anyone who blindly bashes it and its athletes are uneducated. The main issue is that there is a large penchant for injury risk when you are performing complex explosive Olympic style lifts without proper technique and completely fatigued. It’s extremely dangerous to start pumping out clean/jerks and snatches when you are keeling over from fatigue because you did burpees for 50 yards and then handstand walked another 50. The overall technique for safe Olympic lifting is difficult to coach quickly. You cant reasonably expect some 40 year old soccer mom to learn the complexities of triple extension in a clean when she’s just trying to get in shape for the summer to impress the other housewives. It takes years and years of dedicated training with close guidance to safely start building up these exercises.
Weird how world class standard weightlifters appreciate CrossFit but bitter and twisted average bodybuilders hate on it. 😂 maybe it’s a personal insecurity thing. “Lions don’t have beef with ants!”
Huge respect to hear these giant speaks. My opinion only, but they seem to not comprehend that CrossFit Games is a multiple-event point system to determine ranking. If they do, they would probably talk about winning event related to 1rm - be it weightlifting or powerlifting, but losing most of the other like those shown above (high reps cardio-ish) or obstacle course. Nevertheless the bought up good points and the differences and lots of humility.
It's similar to a Globetrekker training or say Iron Man in a sense of diversity. We do shit than is a direct translation into our day to day movement patterns. Just try a free class out. Watch all the ladies hand you your ass, and those are the ones older than you.
That's an extremely idiotic analogy. MMA requires great technique, expertise and efficiency in all aspects of combat sports. Maybe you can't see it but there's beauty in a takedown or a submission, not just punching. Crossfit is like a music band that can play all genres all night long but they really don't play that good while weighlifting is a band that only plays two genres and just a couple of songs, but they are extraordinary

Last dude who spoke doesn’t know what he’s talking about RE CrossFit .. we definitely train for speed, explosiveness and strength.. my box definitely trained us to build up to PR and there are workouts that challenged you to lift close to that PR - probably not for a high # of reps but last dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about with CrossFit .. probably went to a dumb box or something
The last dude you said ,who holds Snatch, C&J and total WR in Men 73KG, 2 times Olympic Gold medals, 3 times World Championship,be respectful DUDE! He is just telling the difference between Crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting, he acknowledged the endurance in CF, but while explosiveness and strength your CF is totally on different level from Olympic Weightlifting, DUDE! All of them are respectful to CF, while you are terribly RUDE to tell us how Ego CF is.
Dude, the thing is you cannot actually train for everything. Jack of all trades, master of none. That is his point. Your speed and explosiveness training is hilariously underwhelming compared to theirs and you can see that by the lifts themselves. Your attitude also shows why people straight up dislike CF. You are just misinformed but talk like you have some sort of authority in training when you cannot even complete one single actual pull-up rep without cheating.
@@nasseral-sabah1163 Yes I am wrong you can train for everything at the same time that is why CF athletes are as good as gymnasts in gymnastics, OWL in olympic lifting, and runners in running, oh wait, they are not.
@@shadearca lol the goal is not to be the best at everything the goal is to do everything within a decent level i never said they are as good as individual gymnasts weightlifters thats why specilization works
So have you tried it and got hurt? Listened to other people about talk about it? Tried it and found out you can't do 90% of the workouts? That a majority of first responders, military, and elite athletes actually train this way? Shhhhhh
I think you deeply misunderstood the context of what he meant in saying that. He said it would be useless to him CURRENTLY because in weightlifting he only really needs to train strength and power
Well crossfitters aren't that great at anything. But decent at a handful of disciplines That's like saying Usian Bolt has one niche skill(sprint) but decathletes or crossfitters are superior more well rounded athletes. That's a pretty out there opinion if I understood you correctly. Because that would also mean a person decently proficient with 12 different instruments is a superior/more impressive musician than one that is a virtouso and master of just one?
@@Goriaas You didn't. GPP stands for general physical preparedness, there's no implicit greater worth in GPP work over specific work, just two different natures. GPP work can often translate into a better transition to other practices,hence why every sport has a GPP off season, but that's just it. All boils down to what's the premise of the comparison. Crossfit is probably a better activity for the basic needs of the general population, Weightlifting is obviously the superior choice to any athlete that's in a sport where power output and max effort movements are a thing. To each its own. Same as your comparison. It's all a matter of what's being assessed. If versatility is taken into account, of course the dude who plays 12 instruments is better, if it's not, of course it's the master of just one. The issue is leaving the parameter of comparison implicit and condemning other people's opinion without being upfront about it. The answer to "Who's the best X?" is always the boring one: It depends on what terms the elements are being compared.
@@Goriaas So you've actually trained for years in CrossFit and are able to discern which kind of complications could occur? Or do you just have friends that are in the same category which have tried for a short period of time and bash it? Unbalanced and unproven comments often show the haters

“Lions don’t have beef with ants!”
Huge respect to hear these giant speaks. My opinion only, but they seem to not comprehend that CrossFit Games is a multiple-event point system to determine ranking. If they do, they would probably talk about winning event related to 1rm - be it weightlifting or powerlifting, but losing most of the other like those shown above (high reps cardio-ish) or obstacle course.
Nevertheless the bought up good points and the differences and lots of humility.
SHI Zhiyong's take spot on! its a very flawed training method.
It's similar to a Globetrekker training or say Iron Man in a sense of diversity. We do shit than is a direct translation into our day to day movement patterns. Just try a free class out. Watch all the ladies hand you your ass, and those are the ones older than you.
Olympic weightlifters: crossfit ?
Esta claro que muy listos no son
Claro, nadie bajo el cielo es tan listo como tú
Worst subtitles color and font choice EVER
Like really dude i cant read this from my phone 🙄
the second guy is built like a panda bear
the third guy doesn't even like bodybuilding
Anyone else go into this video expecting them to shit on Crossfit?
Wow so much ignorance about crossfit from the last one; he obviously doesn’t know anything about this sport 🙄
CrossFit is like MMA. They do everything. And Olympic lifting is like boxing - just pure beauty and technique.
That's an extremely idiotic analogy. MMA requires great technique, expertise and efficiency in all aspects of combat sports. Maybe you can't see it but there's beauty in a takedown or a submission, not just punching.
Crossfit is like a music band that can play all genres all night long but they really don't play that good while weighlifting is a band that only plays two genres and just a couple of songs, but they are extraordinary
@@gonzalojesusvegavigo6937 ur sport can't box for shyt. Hall of famers and ex world champions getting knocked out by youtubers (who can't box for shyt either). Pathetic striking you guys are learning. It's embarrassing to watch ur stand up to us pure boxing fans 🤫🤫 (here's a Lil secret) ... Just like weightlifters (some) laugh at CrossFiters oly lifts ... We laugh at ur mma-boxing technique 😬😬
@@composmentis8138 there's no money in ur sport,MMA ppl keep coming to our sport with their embarrassing striking skills. MMA is CrossFit it's a mixture of everything and a master of none.
@@osiris3yhn Any low profile UFC fighter would absolutely destroy any boxing world champ in a real fight
@@gonzalojesusvegavigo6937 only of u take us down cuz there's no other way crossfighting whoops us on our feet ... Crossfighting
Lmao yeah we train for max weight
Not so max compared to these guys right
Those CrossFit totally is a joke 🤣
"but for the general public I think CrossFit is more widely accepted." lmfao if only he knew
So basically crossfit is gay.
Last dude who spoke doesn’t know what he’s talking about RE CrossFit .. we definitely train for speed, explosiveness and strength.. my box definitely trained us to build up to PR and there are workouts that challenged you to lift close to that PR - probably not for a high # of reps but last dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about with CrossFit .. probably went to a dumb box or something
The last dude you said ,who holds Snatch, C&J and total WR in Men 73KG, 2 times Olympic Gold medals, 3 times World Championship,be respectful DUDE! He is just telling the difference between Crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting, he acknowledged the endurance in CF, but while explosiveness and strength your CF is totally on different level from Olympic Weightlifting, DUDE!
All of them are respectful to CF, while you are terribly RUDE to tell us how Ego CF is.
Dude, the thing is you cannot actually train for everything. Jack of all trades, master of none. That is his point. Your speed and explosiveness training is hilariously underwhelming compared to theirs and you can see that by the lifts themselves. Your attitude also shows why people straight up dislike CF. You are just misinformed but talk like you have some sort of authority in training when you cannot even complete one single actual pull-up rep without cheating.
@@shadearca you are wrong eductate yrself before speaking u dubmass
@@nasseral-sabah1163 Yes I am wrong you can train for everything at the same time that is why CF athletes are as good as gymnasts in gymnastics, OWL in olympic lifting, and runners in running, oh wait, they are not.
@@shadearca lol the goal is not to be the best at everything the goal is to do everything within a decent level i never said they are as good as individual gymnasts weightlifters thats why specilization works
because crossfit is dumb af
So have you tried it and got hurt? Listened to other people about talk about it? Tried it and found out you can't do 90% of the workouts? That a majority of first responders, military, and elite athletes actually train this way? Shhhhhh
maybe you should take up something llike zumba
@@jonsustaita2471 What if he tried it, but just didnt like it?
Crosshate
Shi zuyong sayed, crossfit is useless haha
I think you deeply misunderstood the context of what he meant in saying that. He said it would be useless to him CURRENTLY because in weightlifting he only really needs to train strength and power
niche skill vs gpp. its that simple.
Well crossfitters aren't that great at anything. But decent at a handful of disciplines
That's like saying Usian Bolt has one niche skill(sprint) but decathletes or crossfitters are superior more well rounded athletes.
That's a pretty out there opinion if I understood you correctly.
Because that would also mean a person decently proficient with 12 different instruments is a superior/more impressive musician than one that is a virtouso and master of just one?
@@Goriaas You didn't. GPP stands for general physical preparedness, there's no implicit greater worth in GPP work over specific work, just two different natures.
GPP work can often translate into a better transition to other practices,hence why every sport has a GPP off season, but that's just it.
All boils down to what's the premise of the comparison. Crossfit is probably a better activity for the basic needs of the general population, Weightlifting is obviously the superior choice to any athlete that's in a sport where power output and max effort movements are a thing. To each its own.
Same as your comparison. It's all a matter of what's being assessed. If versatility is taken into account, of course the dude who plays 12 instruments is better, if it's not, of course it's the master of just one. The issue is leaving the parameter of comparison implicit and condemning other people's opinion without being upfront about it.
The answer to "Who's the best X?" is always the boring one: It depends on what terms the elements are being compared.
@@Goriaas Champions of the decathlon are known as the world's greatest athletes for a reason
@@renatolaranja52 Define greatest.
@@Goriaas So you've actually trained for years in CrossFit and are able to discern which kind of complications could occur? Or do you just have friends that are in the same category which have tried for a short period of time and bash it? Unbalanced and unproven comments often show the haters
Cross fit is what you get when you throw a pile of shit into a blender
is that how you were born?
Ask them what do they think about ethnic cleansing
100 percent for it!!!
they don't know that Crossfitters train strength every day..shame.
