I've been watching a few of your videos matey and i have to say, you put a tonne of effort in and it really shows, good job. Keep going right on at it. I personally am into strength training, but i have huge respect for Crossfit and have a good mate who's a certified Crossfit trainer. I think i am definately guna get into Crossfit in the near future.
I just started crossfit because my sister lost 100lbs in one year of crossfit and has started doing competitions here. Crossfit is an excellent way to get training in any and all aspects of athletic and aerobic training. And the workouts are varied every day so your never bored with the same mundane routine
haha the elitist snobs I know who do cross fits can't keep up with me I would hate being in the gym for less then 20 minutes. The workouts are so random how do you honestly expect to make any gains in any of the 10 domains you are presented with. I am not saying cross fit workouts aren't hard but I could gain much more from body building type workouts then incorporating in cardio. Most people who do cross fit have very poor technique which substitutes from the bad teaching instructors get.
@17Manning I'm making more gains in Crossfit, in less than 4 months, than I EVER did on just shit-boring weight-based training. I will never go back to that. Ever. Enjoy your curls buddy.
@AChildOfBodom667 ya do you consider gains getting skinnier? I don't find my lifting workouts boring at all you start throwing around burn out sets and high weights high reps you will have a lot of fun. I would rather build muscle then just be skinny and mediocre at these 10 domains haha. Mediocre at everything master at nothing < quote describes cross fit
@17Manning This video was made almost two years ago. The gains I've made since this video I can't even begin to describe. And FWIW I don't have poor technique or teach poor technique. If bodybuilding is what you like and what works for you then I'm happy for you. You're ahead of 99% of the population in just doing something you enjoy.
@jayrhodes Fair enough I guess fitness is good for anyone in this country these days. If cross fit is what needs to be done to get people off the couch then let it be. The elitist attitude is something I hate as mentioned before, and I do agree you have good form. I mean gains in what Crossfit because the saying goes if you do cross fit you will be good at cross fit? I mean gains are great in the long run and I can respect that. The Oly lifts you do in cross fit should be no more then six reps
@17Manning The problem with bodybuilding is that it "immobilise" you from doing cardio workouts. When faced with everyday challenges, crossfit will prepare you for that like no other sport. It does not matter if you can lift heavy objects when you need to run very long and/or really fast, and the same other way around. The goal in Crossfit is to be as good as possible at as many things as possible. Mikko Salo can run 5k in 17.34 minutes, and still he manages to do a 250kg (550ibs) deadlifts.
@TheStudman73 Nice try. Bet your the guy in the gym who does one set of 5 and rests for 10 minutes. Love this workout. Its actually today's WOD. 1-5-12
@TheStudman73 I played two sports in University. Track as 400m runner and Football as RB. Won several provincial championships in both. And now Crossfit on the world stage with several sponsorships. Find someone else.
@jayrhodes At first this comment popped up in my inbox like it was towards me. Somehow it is not on here anymore, guess it wasn't meant towards me. Anyways, people who dont do CF or cant do CF because they aren't in good enough shape always dog us who do CF. It is just how things go. Keep up the good work man.
Don't your hips have to clear your knees (i.e. you actually stand up on the box) for the box jumps to count? Not criticizing; just different from what my CrossFit taught.
@igotn0thin I would also think that fully extending is safer, more physically sound. BTW jayrhodes thanks for not playing the awful mosh pit type music. Why do is that so popular?
Great job. nearly 2 years on, hope you're doing this in half the time. anyway, point I wanted to make was this - great choice of music. much better than most of the clanging trash metal used in other x-fit videos.
@jiamintoh thank you, I thought I was the only one who hated that awful music. What is it from the 90's or something. Whatever time it was from, it all sounds like very angry mosh, neo-Nazism devil worshiping crap.
Awesome job, if you don't compete, you should, but, you need to open those hips all the way on the box jumps. Unfortunately, not a single jump would have counted in a comp. Great performance regardless.
@jmovechkin80 Ontario Sectionals. 18th of 93. Was happy....but definitely not satisfied. A couple months ago I couldn't do double unders, muscle ups, or snatches and they all came up in the second day chipper which I finished 14th on so I was happy with that. Ring dip standards got me...I had to repeat a bunch of reps for not locking out full ext. The ring dip WOD set me back, should have been top 10 if I focused a little more on making sure every rep counted.
Very, VERY nice! My friend introduced me to crossfit last month and I'm totally hooked. I tried this one today, god its killer, I used the smallest box and only a 10 pound ball and I was done after five rounds... Props to you man!
How many rounds do you do

@igotn0thin I've heard the same.. and it's more challanging for the body, with better results. Because the ROM (range of motion) is bigger
