Hamburgers are lean meat on bread. The reason why people think they are bad is because the fries and coke helps to pull them into that “oh no”-category.
@FormPolice Probably a FTM.
haha Im only 17 as well and if anything xfitters are not insecure hah but okay yep im insecure I just got my shipping papers to be or tryout for an 0321 in the USMC , Insecure is not a word that describes me. except for after sex then its just weird hahah
@lukesimianer
im only 17 though… i know how insecure you crossfitters are.. dont worry
lol in your face haha you would get fucked up even trying to qualify for xfit games
hahaaa….
i EAT BURGERS everyday, I can do a 11s 100m dash, deadlift 515lbs squat 400lbs and I usually run a few miles once a week. In your face crossfit!
The workout was row 1k, then take a 4 foot iron bar and hammer it into concrete until less than six inches was showing. He was starting his spike so that it would stay in the ground when he started really hitting it.
1:58 – I can’t help but get a powerful urge to punch the woman on the right. That voice is so annoying.
Female I think.
your dumb
was that asian person male or female?
What was that guy with the hammer doing at the start of the vid? What kind of a lame-assed mincer wields a hammer like that? Perhaps if he kept his shirt on he would not have looked like such a balloon lol
lol
What are you people calling an athlete? Of course CrossFitters aren’t as fast as elite sprinters, aren’t as powerful as elite OLY lifters or strong as powerlifters, and aren’t as good as elite gymnasts. They don’t set out to be elite at anything, they set out to be in the 95th percentile in everything.
An elite weightlifter CAN’T also be an elite gymnast or sprinter, it’s next to impossible to be elite at a dual sport. The only few I know of are like Sheila Young (cycling and speed skating)
good stuff
To put it another way: getting good at everything means never becoming truly outstanding at any one thing. That’s the compromise inherent to the CF style of training, and admittedly it’s not for everyone.
That’s not the point. A 77kg CrossFIt athlete could theoretically be coached to out-snatch Sagir (leaving aside for a minute the fact that Sagir is an extremely gifted athlete to begin with), but in order to do so he would have to devote all of his training time to the snatch, and would have no time or energy to spend working on all the other things that are part of CF (gymnastics, running, etc). In other words, he would no longer be a CFer, just a weightlifter.
well put Lunitik75. I have also been to the games, and it is incredible what they go through.
Its proven that the top Crossfitters are indeed the elite in all-around fitness. They may not be able to beat the top athletes in each individual sports category, but given a competition in functional fitness including many aspects, Crossfitters would excel past the experts in one area. Having seeing these games first-hand, I absolutely believe that to be true. Sorry bout the fat kid comment….
bahahaha, never said I was faster, stronger, or have more endurance. I was merely pointing out the fact that crossfit is not particularly elite because there are already sports where athletes compete in to reach actual elite levels of strength, speed, or endurance. However, if Greg Glassman can coach a 77kg lifter to out Snatch Taner Sagir, then Crossfit wins.
Basically Crossfitters are faster than you, stronger than you, have more endurance than you, are better gymnasts than you and are elite at owning you. Good Day, fat kid.
I’ve seen it. They’re basically slower than Elite Sprinters, Weaker than Elite Olympic Weightlifters, have less Endurance than Elite Marathon Runners, are worse in gymnastics than Elite Gymnasts. But they are Elite in being so-so at everything.
If you know ANYTHING about Crossfit, you’d know that Crossfit create extremely elite athletes, look up what the Crossfit games actually is.
lol @ elite athletes
