That's not a glide kip. Glide kip is formal gymnastics. It starts with a big swing with straight arms and then as you approach the terminal point you perform a pike (toes to bar). As you swing back you throw you legs down. If you do it correctly you arrive at the top of the bar with some forward momentum and arms still straight. What you're demonstrating is just a cross fit bar kip.
NB it was brilliant when you offered your online Progrm for teens / youngsters during lockdown - I know it inspired my neighbours' kids to go forwards with functional fitness
I've been so lucky to witness all The Crown. Clearly the best, Crossfit related experience of my life. These kids are all around amazing. Great fitness level and amazing mindset. wish the best to all of you. thanks to The Progrm for allowing me to help.
lock your knees straight during the strict T2B, I did not like your video at all, as what you call scoop does not look so, you bring your knees high then kick the bar with your shin.
Kara Webb. Annie Thorisdottir. Mat Fraser. All of them have nearly died in this competition where the Dave Castro and Crossfit are playing the role of Gamemaker. Lazar Dukic is now dead, and he shouldn't be. Finding the "fittest athlete on earth" should not be a test of whether or not you suffer and/or die during an event. And to have HQ gaslight people afterwards is inexplicably insidious.
Agree completely. Crossfit has demonstrated again and again that they are unwilling to examine the culture that creates games that are unsafe. Asking athletes to rubber stamp that, so that HQ can turn around and say “well, they agreed to it,” is a common tactic used by, frankly, cults to use those with less power as pawns in defending those with more power. Ask me how I know. This is not the first time the Games have demonstrated a significant erosion of safety protocols in the name of some gladiator bs. Asking the athletes to continue is literally asking them to risk their well-being, in an effort to recover and redeem their already sunk costs. Clearly, an external entity needs to draw the line, and in this case, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s the DA.
I have worked many years across numerous professional sports as a physiotherapist. On a Jason CF Media video about athlete injuries during this year's semi finals, I commented about my dismay at the standard of CrossFit's medical team compared to all the teams in other sports I have been apart of. I received a reply from Owen Valuch, the CrossFit Medical Team Manager from 2012-22 which only deepened my concern for the quality of medical care CrossFit provides. One line from Owen in particular is particularly eye opening: "Our medical protocols are written by our Medical Director who is above reproach when it comes to his medical administration of the entire CF Medical approach." This toxic attitude where leaders within the CrossFit HQ and it's medical team are above reproach has a cost a man his life. The Rebecka Vitesson and Zac Thomas incidents at semi finals were warnings that were not heeded. The athletes and coaches for years have been begging for better. Check out the Jason CF Media video "When an Athlete is injured. What should CrossFit do?" for the full conversation
Lieber Marius, Du bist ein sehr sympathischer, strukturierter und positiver Mensch, mit richtig gutem Content: sei es die Vergleiche der Ski- und Fahrradmodelle über die herausfordernden Ski- und Fahrradtouren. Du bist einer der wenigen RU-vidr, die sehr informativen und professionellen Inhalt liefern, ohne Trash, Drama und diesen ganzen famegeilen Leuten. Schau auf die positiven Kommentare, an Dir gibt es nichts zu kritisieren, mach bitte genauso weiter, wie in den letzten Jahren, Deine Arbeit ist herausragend gut. Sehr schlimm , dass heutzutage einige es tatsächlich schaffen, so einen tollen Kanal und einen sympathischen, immer positiven Menschen grundlos Standorten zu müssen. Viele Grüße aus Möchnchengladbach 🎉❤
Ive found your daily reflections really interesting. As someone who is in Australia it has been good to get your thoughts from someone who has first hand experience of what has happened. Thank you x
