He looks like the life guard from stranger things haha

@@mohdnurdanial6232 who is also Australian lol

Or Mitch Buchanan from Baywatch.

I would type lol but I genuinely laughed out loud reading that comment, and I'm Australian

Lmaoooo🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good for crossfit, not amazing overall

@@michaelsteffen3168 did you actually look at his back though? lol

@@michaelsteffen3168 his back is a banana. Imagine if he used belt

That lower back is not gonna last

@@Dubuajay you must not know how a belt works

That's probably true.

You’re so ignorant you don’t even know you’re ignorant

@@tecknofun97 no he’s correct, your just very ignorant, look up what a hook grip is and then come back, also if you think he double over handed 500 lbs your crazy, the strongest strongmen in the world can double overhand like 600 max

There is a difference between hook grip and double overhand. Just so you know.

Hook grip is used in a double overhand. As far as I know you can use it on reverse grip as well, I don’t see why not. It’s a modification to a base geip

@@R2WSF you do not hook grip on reverse grip

Bill grundler talks absolute air

Must be the same guys who said they’d knock their knees together all day if it meant they could squat 315

They never have

I feel like when the sport gets older and we get those top guys that retire from the sport we will have more experienced commentators come in

Dude so true 😂 every video of every games work out and regional work out for years these guys commenting haven't had a clue regarding each athletes strategy

They’re probably looking to see which one gets the most traction on twitter to sell it on a shirt for 85 dollars

#frustratedmefornoreason

Yea because he dopes lol

@@BenButler50 they all do

So would most powerlifters

@@hittman1412 yea

He would crush this and the Olympic lifting related events. He'd come in dead last in every other event though.

its just very obvious to someone that's seen a lot of power lifting that he's just young and needs some years to build a stronger base and refine his technique. old man strength is real, especially when it comes to BS and DL. you cant just brute force those lifts. But yes they were a bit harsh, and they should have just mentioned it and moved on.

No problem! Thanks for watching. A new season of RECAPS is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nWB2jWCAGCw.html

You are the stupid clown. Double overhand is when both of their hands are facing forward instead of inverted like Fraser.

@@tecknofun97 there’s a difference between double overhand and hookgrip. Double overhand is with the thumbs over the fingers while hookgrip is thumb under them fingers. There’s a difference

The amount of stupid commentary that took place during this event was astounding. Announcers trying to sound scientific to impress fan when they don't really know what they're talking about...

@@tecknofun97 Nope sounds like you're the clown that doesn't know the difference between double overhand and hook grip.

@@tecknofun97 love to see it when someone comes in way too hot to insult someone else and completely whiffs on the insult. Get rekt

turn those knees in boooiiiiii

This aged well

@@NickNnight It truly did

@@adriang7804 did he finally win??

@@weareintheendtimes.704 Yeah, Medeiros won this year

@@adriang7804 and this 2022 too

That guy is literaly pulling everything out of his back. No legs at all

Beg to differ, theres more movement to catch the bar like that.

@@dkny9954 no lol

Ken no there’s not lol. Even if there was, how does more movement negate the fact that it would reduce fatigue on the shoulders? When he catches the weight on his back it is distributed across much larger muscles that wouldn’t struggle to absorb such a light weight, whereas the delts and triceps are working significantly harder to lower the same workload on their own. That’s pretty significant when you’re going for 3 heavy singles on the shoulder press.

He also comes from an olympic weightlifting background. So if they aren't going to dump the weight, that is just how oly lifters usually catch the weight to rerack it.

He wasn’t doing that to save energy… it’s just a weightlifting thing, lol.

Should also highlight how much shit bill grundler talks

Why cuz the weight isnt high enough?

@@richardsanchez9190 bad form

@@richardsanchez9190 Noah Olsen especially on the squats

@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw everyone else looks pretty solid. Theres always gonna be someone on any discipline they has bad form.

Fr because I guess 300 to 400 lbs is not impressive at all. 😂🤡 I swear who hires these Announcers. (Smh)

@@user-7396 much smaller people with less training can also squat 400+ pounds lol

That's Olympic lifting style strict pressing. They're starting from the front rack position, since that's the starting position for the jerk.

You should have slightly extended wrists when pressing, overhead or bench. If wrists are completely neutral, all the load is placed on your thumb joint, but when the wrist is extended 20-30 degrees, 45 at most, then load is distributed across the wrist, directly over the forearm.

Not 2x, lol. Very few power lifters are squatting in the sub 900s, which is 2x of the weights you see here.

And you don’t risk tearing your bicep

@@evanthomas5105 Yes, I've definite seen that happen.

They chalk it up, no wraps needed

There not even strong though so I’m not sure

@@rylandbraton1460 Pretty sure most of them are taking shit but, obviously strength is not their main focus so they are mediocre strength athletes.

Goodr

How is that zero? They went parallel or below.

@@richardsanchez9190 ZEEEEEROO

@@drew.- how

Don’t matter he smashed them all.

because this isn’t a real sport, it’s like a PE class

Like how the strict press helps with the deadlift. One is a press, the other is a pull, also upper and lower body difference AND completely different range of motion😂 these commentators are a fucking joke

Maybe. But high school kids do this kind of weight. Lol

@@caseyporter499 SOME highschool kids. Some meaning 1 or 2. Maybe 3. Mayyyybe. And those kids are usually generic freaks. Most meaning almost all highschool kids cannot move this kind of weight just as well as most grown men dont even move this weight. Hell even outside of strength oriented sports most athletes don’t move this weight. Is it the most impressive? Depends on who you ask but for your average person and even most of your slightly above average people it’s impressive.

@@writingonthewalls9052 reread the sentence I responded to

@@caseyporter499 I did.

Nah he’s just slightly better than mediocre and not extremely weak like other corssfitters

They’re weird, they say it is, but only if it’s specifically stated in the rules. But no wods or competitions use it. Kinda like shadow banning it

Could be that he's not keeping his left arm straight since that's the one he's using for his underhand grip. Its the same reason underhand has a higher chance of bicep injury.

@@callumjones2916 People also tend to not realize that for deadlift your underhand needs to be placed actually about an inch outside of where your overhand is placed in relation to the bar. I know I deadlifted a few years with alternating grip and did not know this until I started helicoptering all the time. Basically if you stand up with both your arms down in a double overhand position, then twist one to an underhand position without moving your elbow or shoulder position, you will notice that your hand ends up further away from your body. So to grab both the under and over hands at the same positions on the bar means that you are actually deadlifting with one of your arms more closely tucked to your body than the other and hence you will get unbalances and often a helicoptering motion.

No

Agreedd

Why are these cross fit people trying so hard like the depth is just ridiculous and the stance is so narrow. It would only help them to fix the form

Fraser always takes the Olympic style stance because that’s his background. Not really a strategy, that’s just how he lifts.

The commentators don't know shit. They also failed to mention that Fraser used an olympic style bar whip at the top of the movement which when timed correctly is tremendous for generating power out of the hole since the bar bounces upwards at the same time that you are switching direction to upwards. Instead all the mentioned was how wide apart their feet were lmao. Not even high/low bar positioning or anything.

@@THExJMC exactly

Yea what they also dont consider is everyone squats different and matt probably just likes that position the best. Not because its the better form lol

@Delmond DeVaux Thanks man

@@ElDuardo01 what are they?

@@iSuperTE Couldnt find them. Im going to buy oakleys latch betas.

Nah think I’ve seen this before

They’re reuploading every event with new camera angles

Probably cuz they wanted to save some for the other events

@@richardsanchez9190 too conservative

more like: why can’t he throw a ball 400 feet?

In juniors lol it’s not like he was ever actually at the olympics

they do

No

Yes, there was some controversy a few years ago where the guy who won second popped for PED's and was stripped of his reward and ranking. I believe the same thing happened on the women's side that same year, but that person wasn't ranked in the top 3. As with all sports, there are people on gear competing for sure and there are always people who will game the system.

@@Discipleofthelordandjesus please do some sort of research. I beg you.

@@PhilipWithOneL there’s a reason my comment got the most likes bc they don’t test ass hat keep defending the dumb sport of CrossFit

When you can do all the aerobic and anaerobic movements at the same level as these guys in the CrossFit games, then come back and talk about your strict press.

@@adamtaylor175 good to see we can have a normal and civil conversation on this

it's true, very little weight for that level

@@master-weightlifter775 How many people out there with an 800lbs deadlift, etc, can run for miles, complete large sets of ring and bar muscle ups, do handstand pushups, swim in the ocean, and climb a rope? Crossfit is a mix of heavy lifts and cardio pieces. Crossfit is basically, "Why be great at one thing, when you can be good at 10 things".

@@PhilipWithOneL You don't have to deadlift 800lbs to press 200lbs, the press is too low compared to squat and deadlift. I understand what it is the crossfit

Strength lifting has different rules.

yes and they are doing high bar squat which is harder. Pressing is quite easy imo, I don't know why they don't train it.

@@joshuavd5194 I think because it doesn’t really add a lot to the rest of the skills they need to be able to do, also in all overhead presses they can do like split jerks and stuff, no stricts

Based on your experience, why is it? Mobility/ROM or not strict enough on form when fatigued ?

@@derekhamling8894 form is the issue. Lots of flopping around with no control and thus pulling ligaments and other injuries

@@karimamin2 I see no "flopping around" here. Timestamp?

crossfit injury rate is around 3,5 injuries per 1000 hours of training. football is around 36 per 1000 hours. even running has higher injury rate than crossfit.

@@jaroslavjanda3949 Please post your sources on this lol fact. I mean people could easily look up a video of someone "kilping" pull ups and easily recognize the potential for shoulder injury. Your turn.

There's actually a big difference between Olympic style squats and powerlifting style squats.

@@tjcogger1974 Powerlifting doesn't have a specific type of squat. There's more common styles than others, but neither sport has a standard. If we're being specific, squatting isn't even a part of olympic lifting.

@@Rico24337 that's exactly what I just said. Go look up videos of powerlifting meets. Then go look up videos of Olympic lifter's squatting. 99.9% of the time, Olympic lifter's squat high bar, close stance, ATG, with a very upright torsoe. Powerlifters rarely ever squat like this, because it's not required for competition.
