The CrossFit Games - Men's Ranch Deadlift Ladder 

Shout-out to Lucas Parker and Ben Smith for actually knowing how to lift a barbell

fuck me, man...but lucas parker's form was epic in this one

"Here's the thing about being so technical..." You do the lift right, know your true limit, and don't damage your body?

Lucas Parker has the most textbook form ever. So jealous

Guys, Sam Dancer broke his fibula during the trail run prior to this deadlift event. He probably had to switch up his technique and lift more back dominantly. Hope this ends all past and future arguments about his form.

parkers form is rock solid

The Hunchback of Hitchre dame.

love me some Lucas Parker technique

Win the event - lose your health RIP Sam Dancers back

I think they should no rep bad form deadlifts...

not really a fan of crossfit but i have to admit parker's lifts were solid. aside from dropping the bar powerlifting material

Man must have pretty strong back for most of them arching like that!

this is why i like lucas parker as an athlete that much

Just finishing watching the ladies and I ain't no pro by any means but Lucas Parker's lifts were the only ones that didn't make me cringe lol. Still all the athletes showing impressive strength.

Parker had awesome form

Form? Who cares about form. The first guy had a rounded back the whole time. Parker had beautiful form!

Lucas parker was the goat of that day !!! Only guy with perfect form ... even kept a good form at his failed lift

The announcer pretty much said that Parker would have had that 585 if he wasn't so technical. Which is true but then it wouldn't be a proper deadlift. Crossfit may not care about performing a textbook deadlift or your back but he does. Hitching = no lift.

1:11 amazing form. Might be something for elgintensity

Hope there's a full version that comes out soon...

Lots of people are stating that the deadlifts in this video of a powerlifting style. That's not true, given that hitching isn't permitted in powerlifting. Here, for example, is what the IPF rulebook has to stay on the topic: "Supporting the bar on the thighs during the performance of the lift [is cause for disqualification]. If the bar edges up the thighs but is not supported, this is not reason for disqualification." These pulls might be legal in CrossFit contests, and CrossFit can set whatever movement standards it likes, but let's not pretend these lifts would be given white lights at a powerlifting meet.

OMG Lucas Parker outfit come on!!!! hahahahaha funny as hell and I still dont know if it was joking.

0:40 holy crap is back is rounded

My back started hurting watching this.

Sam Dancer is just a monster. Search for his 22 rep 405 squat...

R.I.P LUMBARES minute one silence

Longer arms help in the deadlift. Sam has some short arms where as Parker and smith have longer arms. I think it makes it easier for the latter two to keep good form with longer arms.

1:14 dude your back

that form parker 😍😍 need more of that

Dropping the weight, hitching and a rounded back

Without claiming to be an expert and as someone who does crossfit dancers technique looked very scary, everything I've been taught never to do (from coaches in my gym and numerous online videos including powerlifters). Parkers lifts looked good though

Parker’s technique is top notch

Rounding back is fine as long as you still have tightness in your core while not looking like a scared cat lol

the first guy has some real nice form for sure adn drops the bar dont call it deadlift if its not a real deadlift

now that i watch this video, i think it would have been appropiate to show the final results of every event in the movies (fittest on eart, the redeem, etc). I mean, i knew about sam dancer and his strength, but the canadian almost did as well like Dancer and he was never mentioned in the movie.

Yo Parker had a gorgeous deadlift form.

parker's form is something else

Seems like Dave Castro learned his Deadlift technique from Dancer!

Does the form count in weightlifting competitions, gymnastics, athletics...? Yes of course it counts... Why does Crossfit should become different...?

I think that smart people won't try to go for max deadlift, or even too close, for that event. A 1rep max deadlift can wreck you for days and they can't afford it considering they have 10 or so events coming to them. Sitting in the back seat of this event to catch your missing points in murph, swim and other events would be smarter than trying to nail the first three. And as for those worrying about the video coverage, can you all remember that wednesday has always been closed off to public? When the public events start for real we'll get full, nice stream in proper quality. Stop fretting.

They should have waited to make the documentary until this year since it's the tenth anniversary

Why does everyone have to complain about hitching and dropping the bar. This isn't powerlifting, it has different rules. Would you try to tell The Mountain his 1000lb+ lifts don't count if he hitched? In strongman, like crossfit, the point is to lift as much weight as possible. I'm not even a fan of crossfit, but get over it and realize different sports have different rules, and if the weight only comes off the ground, even that's some basis for measuring strength.

My back gave out watching this

There are a lot of comments talking about how good his form is. Shouldn't YOU have good form no matter what the weight?

Good God I see the same form if not worse in strongman comps or even straight up deadlifting comps . Amazing everyone has perfect form on you tube holding their phone and not actually lifting heavy weight.

parker and smith are actually good, most of these guys have rounded backs

Parker guy has great technique.. and he is smart not to go beyond

WHAT LUCAS PARKER A CROSSFITTER WITH GOOD FORM. respect

I love cross fit a ton but some of these people's form makes me cringe

Why do they drop the weights at the top and not perform a proper deadlift with a totally controlled movement? This is an honest question I am only used to powerlifting standards.

I’m sorry but if you drop the barbell at the top you’ve only done half the lift... it doesn’t take much to control it back down again

Anyway to know what Rogue bar they use for this ladder? I am looking at ordering the Ohio DL bar. Seems this bar has the right amount of whip I am looking for.

How much they wait between deadlifts ?

All props to Lucas Parker!

Great weight first guy lifted. Saying that I guess they don't count hitching as a no lift but oh well still a good lift

Thought they were starting the individual events on friday?

What is up with their form? I feel so bad for their backs

Does anyone here know which type of shoes Sam Dancer is wearing? The white with teal ones. They look like cf speed tr or nike metcons but I'm not sure and don't know this colorway. Please let me know 😁😎

Why was Parker sitting like that after each pull? injury?

Is this supposed to bring it back to how it was in the early 2000's?

How is his spine still in tact

are they allowed to lift sumo?

1st in the deadlift, last in the trail run 😂 go figure

I want to join the cross fit games

Muy bien! El tipo que levantó más de 600... Pero de qué sirve levantar tanto si no hizo ni un sólo levantamiento correctamente!! Igual es su espalda...

3 red lights for everybody...

Are they required to wear certain shoes? I didn't see one person god with no shoes or something minimal.

where is the full version

Doest this guys have doping control?

my back hurts after watching that

Can please anybody tell me artist of the music in the background..

Wait if you can use a belt why would you choose not too?🤔

please send me the link to sam dancers shoes

Does anyone know where i can get a cap like the one Sam Dancer wears?

1:01 that form though

Sam Dancer is a beast

The first guy was realy strong but sombody should show him how to sett up and tightening those core muscles before the lift

Two things that would destroy CrossFit 1.usada dope testing year round 2. An actual lifting referee that knows good form and that will disqualify people for bad form

Do these guys get paid? I can lift that. I'm not a crossfitter though.

SAM DANCER""" EL PUTO AMO!!

song in the background ?

Since when did dropping weight be considered a deadlift?

whats the rest time between each? 30 secs?

Parker saved my spine from surgery

Eddie Hall attempted to set a (then) world record deadlift in 2014 at 1,014 lbs. He got the lift up, and was so excited that instead of lowering the bar back down, he dropped it from the top just as these guys are doing. For that, no world record. #themoreyouknow

Damn what’s up with the soft lockouts? Even on the lower weights nobody was really finishing the lifts. The judges should be the ones fixing this problem, because if the lifters can get away with this they don’t have ax

wtf was sam dancer's form almost broke his back on the 615

Lucas Parker whoooa, the others, ZEROOO

Imagine being on gear using a belt and still hitching/cat back. Shoulda been no repped.

would sumo deadlifting been allowed?

What the actual fuck did i just watch! I think my back is hurting just from seeing this😬😬💀💀💀

jesus these guys could pull my 29' trailer with these hitches how are these legal lifts.......?

This was after a trail run, like right after, I don’t blame them for their form as much as I hate to see it. All for the sport I suppose

Once you go rounded back you never go back

615 lbs?? There are 5-45 lb plates per side which is 450 lbs + 45 lb bar and Two 20 lb plates..That's 515 lbs?? Where is the other 100 lbs hiding????

1:19, holy shit wtf. You can't be serious... It's impressive but why would you want to have that situation were you ruin your back like that?

초록색 런닝 입은 두번째 빡빡이 아저씨가 제일 자세 좋네 척추중립 !

His back looks pretty rounded... He's very strong, but I feel like that's going to catch up with him.

back rounding and hitching. Crossfit = trip to hospital

I can lift half the weight they're doing, maybe slightly less, but so glad I can say I never took test to do it and never will
