Annies hot

[TheBalisto]

if you want to see real clean and jerks or snatches just look up pat mendes or donny shankle

[woogar]

crossfit can kip my ass

[woogar]

05:00 actually makes me feel sick to see someone disrespecting a king of movements.

[Snowbau5]

I just started doing CrossFit, it's such a good program!

[xChocoBARS]

jeeesus

[realityxcheckk]

@xChocoBARS oh my lord. LOL

[alexiin13]

The modern gladiators! where are the blades?

[whoopyno1]

@1.18: What is wrong with the reporter??

[dphchristie]

Very impressive athletes and fairly well rounded. But the reality is that in a few years time when the hype subsides we'll be talking about crossfit for what it really is - good functional training that will probably improve your fitness and your performance in real sports. It's not religion and it's not a sport. It's exercise

[SolaFide53]

@dphchristie Crossfit will not "probably improve your fitness"... it will most definitely improve it. I have a friend who lost over a 100 lbs eaten healthily and doing Crossfit 5 times a week. I went from not being able to do pull-ups to hitting over 30 consecutive, not to mention increase in lifts and speed. As to it not being a sport, the competitive nature of Crossfit makes it very much a Sport. It requires you to excel in more areas of fitness than any other sport in the world.

[Zengustus]

whats the name of the song in the start?

[TheHabibd]

y'all say what you will but there's only a small percentage of people that can compete in these games and your probably not one of them.

[MrSlobTv]

@TheHabibd thats not true at all...nfl players would embarass these people...its basically competing in whos the best at working out...working out is something that furthers your game in real events not a real event in its own...Crossfitters invented Crossfit? Its like being a hipster...retarted

[2011hwalker]

@MrSlobTv What are you talking about. Most NFL players havent got any form of muscular endurance. Thats why when they try and cross over to do sports like MMA they get KO'd. They are good for about 5-10 seconds of high intensity sports. You can hate on crossfit all you want, its certainly not perfect but if you ever tried one of these workouts you would see that these competitors are certainly no joke.

[xJDKx]

I still think this "sport" is dumb as fuck. Horrible coaching. Horrible form on every single Olympic lift. It's a joke.

[cobrastatus]

I can understand arguments for why this is a sport, hell I'm even swayed by them, but I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would ever watch this. This is so deathly boring.

[Newbpwng]

@cobrastatus as a gym monkey i love to watch this competition

[ITzJpiZzlE]

the women in this r just not attractive

[studioworks1990]

At 4:53 it's funny how she's lifting a fuckton of weitgh then when she drops it and suddenly she's all femininie and like: "Awwww, you guuuys, thank you!"

[skater506]

they invented a new sport about muscle deterioration, and called it the crossfit games

[BoshCraver]

@skater506 I don't get it, what do you mean?

[OscarSchneegans]

@skater506 You're absolutely right. All these athletes' muscles have deteriorated to the point they can barely walk.

[skater506]

@OscarSchneegans definetley not at the levels they could be at with proper training....

[OscarSchneegans]

@skater506 And anyone who thinks that's true is free to prove it by outperforming these athletes starting 22FEB2012.

[skater506]

@OscarSchneegans show me a crossfitter who can lift as much as Stan Efferding, has a much muscle as Jay cutler, has as much endurance as lance armstrong, can olympic lift like Dimitry Klokov, or someone who's as strong as derek poundstone. i cant believe you guys call yourselves the fittest people in the world....Well rounded just means that you suck at a lot of things all at once. Try growing a spine and mastering something for a change, worm.

[OscarSchneegans]

@skater506 Ever wondered why Olympic Decathlon gold medalists carry the title "World's Greatest Athlete"? Ever wondered why pure endurance, strength or speed athletes do not?

[DrewNadeau]

@skater506 Show me any of the mentioned names youve said do something awesome in a realm other than their own sport, ie, Derek poundstone running 1 mile, Jay Cutler running a mile, Lance armstrong deadlifting 500 pounds. Crossfitters aren't the strongest, we can't last the longest on a bike, we dont have the most muscle mass, But you know what we can do? We can do everything the people you've mentioned pretty fucking awesomely. We crossfitters are the the BEST well rounded athletes.

[skater506]

@DrewNadeau well rounded just means you suck at a lot of things at once... try growing a spine and mastering something you worm

[DrewNadeau]

@skater506 we have mastered something, the fittest men and women on the planet.

[skater506]

@DrewNadeau thats funny considering not one of you would be able to compete in any of the events of the worlds strongest man which is endurance and strength

[skater506]

@DrewNadeau this competition looks like a shitty version of this /watch?v=s1z79a9X3q8

[DrewNadeau]

@skater506 Theres a difference between anarobic endurance and aerobic endurance, WSM sure does have endurance, but it certainly does not have both, which crossfit on the other hand does have both. Now unlike yourself (stubborn and narrow minded) i respect WSM just as i respect crossfit games, as their both, insanely strong/athletic athletes who both work hard at what they do.

[skater506]

@OscarSchneegans and your retarded if you think an event like this doesn't promote catabolic effects and muscle deterioration.... you clearly have no education.... you have no right to even comment.

[mecaganopoderentrar]

Anybody know if these athletes tested for anabolics?

[Etrajbe]

@mecaganopoderentrar They are and none of them are on the juice, crossfit sure is heavy lifting and explosive strength but ALSO support muscles and conditioning. So roids would fuck up your physique in the big picture.

[mecaganopoderentrar]

@Etrajbe Thanks for the answer, but steroids are just a substance that your body converts into testosterone, once you have it, your body uses it to build whatever type of muscle you need... sprinters, fighters, baseball, football, and athletes from virtually every sport use them, not only bodybuilders and lifters- they aid in recovery from training and on building superior muscle (as well as fucking up the rest of your body)... this sucks for clean athletes, i know, but that's why I asked.

[xxKALAMITYxx]

I can do that; hold my beer.

[darkoffroader]

3 people are sitting on the couch with a King-size bag of Doritos and a tall warm glass of gravy.

[cgidari]

I seriously watch this on an almost daily basis for motivation. If I qualify for regionals one day I'll be thrilled

[deepcmonkey]

Even though this is a competetion, it's all about being the best YOU can be all around and pushing your body to perform to it's peak potential. It's about you. Not the person next to you. Get fit. Enjoy being fit. I like that tat, "Galations 6:14".

[drydian]

feels like I just left the box,...now I wanna go back!

[cesar9]

Sweet



[GE0R63B0Y]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!



[crossfitbjorn]

Ok, I'm pumped. Hitting the box!

[Azurite22]

0:59 is my favourite part. That right there is pure joy. :D

[mrNoumy]

Anniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iie!!



[lusthateenvy]

that first shot of Annie Sakamoto at the beginning is some of most beast shit i've ever seen. this is the only sport where the women are just as exciting to watch as the mens.

[indyschmidt]

At 5:06 the man has a tattoo of "Galatians 6:14": "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

[MrByrne3]

@indyschmidt I didn't notice, I was too interested in those amazing athletes and grueling events to notice anyone's tattoo.

[indyschmidt]

@MrByrne3 Sorry you didn't notice. It's a very good snippet from the Bible: "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." It also happens to be highly applicable to the event.

[jdeglover11]

Barber raising his arms after the sled-pulls. So good.

[TaosMtn3]

Awesome

[rogotiz3]
