Why would people insult eachother over a sport thats supposed to bring them together? It doesn´t matter if Crossfitters have ¨bad¨ form or not, the fact is, its an unstoppable comunity and if somebody doesn´t like it for any reason he is free to practice his favorite sport and feel good with it just like every other athlete. Peace!
@@samreach2679 its BAD FORM! you rely on your swing movement to get up. Bad form increases injury risk greatly. Of course its easier to do muscle ups with shit form.. not a single muscle up was done that day.
@@XSpanier there is literally no work out that would incorporate pull ups with running, which means you have nothing to compare it to, your comment is just whiney, can imagine a giant man child who can not even get themselves into a push up or even create a sentence themselves and has seen a comment before and wanted to copy and paste, that literal comment is on every video "not a single pull up was done that day". Are you lost? A bit of advice, if you do not enjoy something, it is way more productive to watch pretty much anything else. Many pull ups were done that day, a random troll on RU-vid cant change that.
@@kirstybrown1185 man i can taste the salt. Dont like that guys opinion, lets personally attack him! We just have different opinion on what a pullup is. But yeah, guess youre doing bad in life and need to vent, if it helped good for you. Hope your day got better👍
Something good and amazing about Crossfit is that is doesn't matter if you finish the work first or last, everyone cheers and congratulates you, not like in soccer (i'm from Argentina) where you can make 99 good things and 1 bad and you get destroyed for that 1 bad.
The camera work on this event (and this Games) was plain awful. They switch to Noah Ohlsen winning his heat, and instead of switching immediately back to Rich Froning trying to finish his last set unbroken they switch to a shot of the audience for like 5 seconds, and then to a wide shot of the whole stadium for another 3 seconds, all the while we miss the shot of Rich failing on his last rep. Fucking insane.
lol, bad camera work i agree but not for the reasons you list. when Leverich drops from first, they focus on Bridges who is second (camera and commentators). when Bridges drops, Ohlsen and Troyan are ahead of Froning, but because Froning is royalty, they focus on him throughout even though Olsen is ahead of Froning even in overall standings and would take back #1 spot upon winning. they only switch back to Ohlsen when he is sprinting across the finish line and say "out of nowhere" He didn't come out of nowhere, he was right ahead of the pack (or at least Froning) the entire event.
Noah’s last rep that won him this competition looked very similar almost identical to the rep of bridges that was considered a no rep and then giving him a 200 m penalty run. Now I don’t claim to be an expert on CrossFit rules of course those are rules that are beyond me all I know is that bridges had his arms locked out for the same millisecond that Noah had his arms locked out yet bridges got a no rep with penalty and Noah didn’t and got the win. So not to take anything away from Noah, he’s a phenomenal athlete so props to him I just think it might be beneficial if the judges were a little more accurate, maybe more training so that one competitor doesn’t get judged differently then another competitor. Bc the rep of bridges that was considered a no rep looked identical to the rep of Noah’s which was ruled a good rep thus allowing him to finish and make a run to the finish line. Just a thought, just my own opinion.
absolutely. in past years, leblanc-bazinet didn't get no-repped many times for things like below the chin pull-ups and stutter-stepped advances on the overhead axle bar lounge, while other athletes, in the same event, got the feared no rep for doing the exact same thing as her.
Rich is performing fine guys it's just the programming of events isnt in his favor. I love rich and hes one of my biggest Heros but it would be kinda nice to see some new faces on the leaderboard.
That seems to be highly likely. the amount of running events just shot up in this games suddenly...guess they have been profiling the top guns to make this a show..
@@alan181090 I actually started crossfit since this post.. CF has a lot of strange rules. As a gymnast myself, I think they just don't know gymnastics well enough to judge it properly so they make up their own standards
@@ianstratton1629 all sports have their own standards and rules, very unsure what you are getting at when that is very simple information that I understood as a child. Soccer and brazilian soccer, athletics at regional and national events, unless you are only interested in gymnastics you have no reason to not know this. Just reads like another passive aggressive comment from someone not even trying to understand this is a lot of disciplines rolled into one and efficiency is important or you wouldn't complete any of the events. If you do your research more gymnasts, per ratio too, end up with career ending injuries than crossfitters do, yet you are so sure that they have the most incorrect form.
peter Johnson yeah, because they're doing 'muscle ups'. more like 'swing ups' lol most the momentum is coming from their lower body. These guys are failed gymnastics.
peter Johnson the more you insult me the more it proves the point that you're a child that wouldn't say any of this stuff in real life. Remember, you started the insulting, it says more about yourself than it does about me. now go play in the park with your friends and swing on the monkey bars so you can be like your favorite 'sportsman'.
daniel25001 And yet you still watch crossfit videos? Wasting hours of your day watching stuff you don't like lol. What a loser. Before you start trying to put me down and slagging off crossfit sort your life out. And, yeah, I will train, unlike your fat ass. Enjoy watching more crossfit videos.
daniel25001 Still takes a lot of breath out of you, still burns your arms. They run slow because they need to recover for the next set. If you fail a rep, you have a penalty lap.
The idea that someone like Jason Khalipa could be called one of the 'fittest men on earth' is a joke. No hate towards the man himself, he's a great man and is obviously strong and in shape. But the fact he can barely run a 23 minute 5k, and struggles so much with bodyweight exercises, shows he is just another average strong guy. He wouldn't even be strong enough by most weightlifting standards to compete competitively in weightlifting, he's just stronger than the average crossfit athlete. And the tradeoff for that is poor running and bodyweight fitness. There are literally tens of millions of people who could run faster than he can, and do more pull ups and muscle ups than he can. Fitness is a relative term considering bodyweight- it's far more impressive that someone who weighs 150lb can clean 300lb and run a sub 18 5k, than it is someone who weighs 200lb can clean 360lb but only run a 23 minute 5k. Anyone who shows themselves at bad at moving their own bodyweight has no place being in a contest for the fittest person on earth, and the fact that such people exist in this contest shows the huge strength bias crossfit has in its testing of fitness. Someone who can run far, jump high, and move well is far fitter than someone who can lift heavier but barely run a 5k. That's just common sense.
@@calebwany8422 she whines so much about it, she does it next year (2015) moaning that they do it because of who she is, not because she was leaning forward on her snatches. Needs to get her head out of her a**** sometimes. I like her because she has more personality than most do but she is annoying and borderline child like at times.
A lot of Olympic weight lifters are huge too and they test them, your point is literally pointless. Its like saying test that child because they shouldn't be that small, when they're 2 and have every reason to be that small and most people with eyes can see that. I cant even understand how one can't understand that a woman also builds muscles, just like men do, amazing isn't it? Your mind might be blown but we are capable of exercise.
