Donovan D anybody know what that is on his back?

Brayden Greenwood no clue... but I want one

Donovan D Pure Donatello natty beast!

Its called the load trainer on Rogue fitness and its basically an ALICE pack frame (Military Backpack frame) with a pole to add bumper plates and weight so you can simulate rucking with an accurate amount of weight, this is often done as a form of physical exercise in the military

Donovan D dude brain bomb ninja turtle weighted vest for the nerd lifter

Yes that is Captain America on the roof. Nice find.

Caps dancing with Peggy now

I do the same thing with injuries... when it hurts... keep pushing... when it sprains tears or breaks.... keep pushing....

marketing has everyone on this BS motivation --

You call it marketing, I call it success. The more success and goals that get accomplished in my life, the more I want to keep pushing. That's not marketing, that's called attitude. Marketing would imply external motivation, whereas attitude is controlled by you... Therefore, your little theory there, IS BOGUS ha ha ha

HOTBALLZ Ditto and amen to that, Mr. Ballz

haha mini Tim. it's a good look for him.

Could you explain that?

Timothy do you know who Jocko is?

Yeah, I missed the reference though

Timothy next question. Do you listen to the podcast? If you don't that might explain why you didn't get it.

+Dee Xiao Long I never have.

OutKastXXX the supply officer is still looking for it to this day.

Rogue sells it on there page

kn Smith That's a funny insertion for this convo.

Dan Bailey didn't make it out of regionals this year. Josh Bridges is an incredible athlete but due to his size he has a very big limitation as well as the fact he was the oldest competitor at the games this year.

True!

Maybe Bridges will step it up next year! He's probably my favorite... definitely the funniest

oh shit! thanks man! He wears some vapor woven 8's all the time too that I can't find either

manlet: The little fella you see at the gym who tries to draw attention away from his short stature by packing on excessive muscle mass (this generally has an effect opposite of that which was intended). Often waddles around like a muscly lil' meatball (Urban Dictionary). 😂😂😂 but um, he's been my new inspiration! Should I find some one else I can look up to in crossfit? Watching him work was really inspiring and motivating then I found out he was a seal, and I was hooked. I've watched his 16.4 performance, and I hate to admit that those are not full reps, but any other reasons not to look up to him? Other than being a cheater, which is a huge one.

So true.

No,Bruce Lee will say Crossfit=Stupid. Remember Bruce Lee MASTERED different kinds of martial arts before he combined them together, he had those skills and he knew what he was doing. But crossfit? look at all those shitty sloppy forms they'll get killed by themselves before anyone else does.

koawang0609 you're so fuckin' wrong 😁 Bruce died at 33 years old. You think he actually *mastered* all martial arts in such a short period of time?! 😂 And I double dare you to say, with a straight face, that Mat Fraser, Rich Froning, Kat Davidsdottir, Tia-Toomey etc, have bad form. Come on! Say it! 😀 You know jack shit.

+Dee Xiao Long different kinds=all kinds? Are you blind or what? And I say crossfit is stupid cuz the majority of "crossfitters" are doing these clean and jerk or snatch in sloppy form, how am I wrong? Power lifters and weight lifters are working to perfect their technique while most crossfitters are working their ass off to do it faster, how is it not stupid?

koawang0609​​​​​ because they do what they do for different reasons. Power lifters and weight lifters are looking to specialize, as you well know, while regular CFers are looking to move and have fun doing it. The whole point of CF, as you know, is to develop athletes that are able to *adapt*. They will never be able to beat a specialist at their discipline, *but* there is no specialist that will be able to adapt to any physical demand like a top CF athlete does. Different aims. As far as your criticism on form and pace goes I think you're misinformed. Look up Kelly Starrett for example, who is closely tied to CF and you will see that CF aims to give people the right cues and methods to perform efficiently. There is a trend going on, whose purpose is to denigrate CF for what it does, but most of the points it tries to get across are moot. Someone new who tries CF will *not* be given a barbell. That person will be given a pvc pipe to practice lifts, until they are deemed efficient enough to graduate to the barbell. And to your Bruce Lee point. I have been studying him for years and the only martial art he actually might have mastered is Wing Chun and even that is debatable. The other arts he practiced and studied he never got even close to mastering. He was excellent at picking movements up, yes, and showcasing them, yes, but master any of it? Get real. His true aim was to learn the basic efficient movements of all arts and funnel them into his own method; jeet kune do. He would have approved of the CrossFit philosophy. No doubt. Bruce was a pioneer of the "generalist" philosophy. He was trying to get people out of their comfort zone and get them to incorporate different elements to their physical practice.

yo my homie jmkm is the producer check it bro soundcloud.com/productiveculture/jmkm-communicate

thx a lot man !

Crossfire pune

Modified Military A.L.I.C.E pack.

idk but that's what I'm trying to figure out

It's a modified military ALICE pack.

+Eric Brock thank you

www.innovativeperformance.co/load-trainer/ this is where you can get one.

+salvador sanchez martinez THANK YOU SIR

Valkyrie Editing rogue sells it. It's called the load trainer& Alice frame

Im not sure, but it is reminiscent of Silver Mt. Zion

Kids names. Jack and Knox.

At least the dog is not in a crate, kennel or the house and is hanging out with him while he is training!! Thirty years of decoy work for Sport, Police service and Military work and I think the Dutchie is under utilized (the lack of popularity might be it's salvation as a breed)

drugs. im not hating but come on

+Nick Blevins maybe. or just really hard work and dedication.

It's more like one or two Crossfit workout plus a bunch of component which will be hard but less demanding like a Crossfit wod

Without seeing what he's actually doing at the bottom of the lift its hard to tell, but he's either doing Romanian deadlifts or he's just doing normal ones but utilising the bounce to start his next lift. His hands are just in the over under position

And for what it's different hand position? Is it just harder or different muscle groups are involved?

the over under grip is used on heavier weights as it aids grip by reducing the bars ability to spin in your hands

mafib1 grip strength

He claims 5'5" but I'm betting he's really 5-4" or less. Manlets always try to get that extra inch or 2 thinking we won't notice.

Those are Nike Metcon 1's.

time is money

make the time

Carl Evans Remove other things that are less important to you and you'll have room to train. Obviously not at this level since this is his job but CF can be a great hobby and way to improve your health.

6 workouts that are probably only about 10-15 minutes each. Really isnt that much

You're right about the time part but it's a lot more than you think. Due to the nature of Crossfit, just looking at the time domain is a little deceiving. Its like looking at a power lifter's training and saying that they're only actually holding the bar lifting for a few min so it must not be that much.

I'm sure he takes PEDs. People are fucking stupid if they think these guys aren't doing everything they can to gain an edge.

Who fucking cares if he take steriods.

maybe his opponents?

Roids.

Excellent recovery, a lifetime of building an insane work-capacity, auto regulation, and probably gear.

Alot of crossfitters that compete do this. One session for him as he said is "A crossfit or endurance, followed by oly lifting, and a solely aerobic part" Its actually a good approach if you ask me.

He retired awhile back to be home for his kids. Also his sponsorships pay WAY more than he'd continue to make as a seal

I think he got injured on a deployment. Not sure though.
