[MrSlobTv]

[WidePullUps]

I'm going crossfit tomorrow for the first timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SO EXCITED!

[pauldwane1989]

What weight is on the barbell?



[knockdownguy]

@pauldwane1989 455 lbs deadlift, 255 or 250 clean.

[pauldwane1989]

@knockdownguy Cheers!

[tzane94]

Wow, he's cleaning the more then I deadlift. He is the mother fucker.

[KLo187]

Thats awesome how in his doco he just feeds on Peanut Butter & Jelly!!! Awesome...he is a unit

[Pittfanforever]

@jerredmoon josh everett made everything look so much easier too. On richs last squat clean he held at the bottom while josh straight up plowed through them all. They are both incredible tho

[LolololololCheese]

@Pittfanforever actually if you compare the vids, start from the same time till finish, rich did all the movements faster than josh with much less transition time inbetween reps on the sq cleans. it was pretty neat to watch side by side.

[jerredmoon]

That's amazing. Can't believe Josh Everett did it 5 seconds faster 3 years ago.

[martinboson]

does he have backissues? those cleans and deadlift were kinda not perfect form.

[ArCxlioN]

@martinboson you try doing these movements with this weight in this amount of time and see how perfect your form is you fucking retard

[martinboson]

@ArCxlioN I have chronical back pain and my knees have been fucked up since I was 15. Mostly because of freestyle skiing, but also because of a freak accident in the deadlift. I didn't even go hard, just popped my back with the warmup weight. I wasn't trying to be a bitch, just worried about his back. Not many people can lift with that kind of bent back.

[LaNooby]

@ArCxlioN the amount of time and weight has nothing to do with form, if you cant clean or deadlift with proper form then it means you cant do it at all. If you think it does, then go ahead, mess up your lower back

[ArCxlioN]

@LaNooby you're an idiot

[LaNooby]

@ArCxlioN LOL obviously you know nothing about weightlifting

[trecuck]

@ArCxlioN Typical crossfitter. Time comes first, form and safety can go to hell.

I am a crossfitter too, but it's pretty obvious, bad form will lead to injury. Rich can probably take it, but I bet you can't. Seriously, would you sacrifice your health for less time?

[bball11ho]

w...t...f.....

[m3g1]

any body know which weightlifting shoes hes using?=

[ILoveJesus390]

@m3g1 Mostly I see him wearing the yellow ones the Games athletes got. He has some more though, he gets a bunch of free stuff from his sponsors :)

[jbandkg100]

@m3g1 They're Reeboks. Supposed to be released to the public sometime this fall.

[HectorVictorious1]

Thought he'd be a bit faster on that. Tremendous athlete though. Pretty much my idol.

[ShinigamiKage]

@HectorVictorious1 He would have been faster if he didn't have to walk 10 feet between each exercise.

[ILoveJesus390]

@HectorVictorious1 Well, he did that at the end of the day, after competing in some team events, so he wasn't at his best. Plus he had to walk pretty far in between the movements!

[musclemonster1993]

ur back should be erect at all times during a clean

[musclemonster1993]

dont throw everything away by hurting ur back.. pick ur chest up in ur starting position for the clean cuz your back is rounded.. get ur hips down.

[bosszeroboss]

Rich is a monster!

He's way past the standard newbie winstrol stuff! He's got it down to a science!!

[EpicFlyingMount]

" In between competing in the team events, Rich worked out.".. I don't even.. wait what?

[awalkerog]

Nice dig @2:58



[mav7009]

OH SHIT. WHAT A BEAST.

[Transform1234]

Dude looks all set this year!! Amazing athlete

[freshipete]

it should all be natural!!!

[jonst26]

All natural.

[trecuck]

@jonst26 I'm sorry but how can you confirm that?

[72fenderbender]

Is he all natural (no steroids)?

[FTWSquat]

@72fenderbender he runs on peanut butter and jelly

[redskater42]

@FTWSquat Who ever knew that a kindergardeners lunch can help you PR?

[korvix]

@FTWSquat that's how steroids are called today?

[FTWSquat]

@korvix depends on what you believe. I believe Froning is clean and I have no reason to not believe that.

[KLo187]

@korvix ....bro that is B/Sh1t....they are just dedicated to training, they don't need steroids!

[partiepistol]

@FTWSquat and milk, don't forget about the gallon of milk he drinks a day
