Crossfit Workout: Grace (30 Clean & Jerks for time)

[betrainingmontreal]

good job for effort! at least people are getting active and doing CrossFit!

[DarmokandJiladLLP]

This is beyond stupid. Aside from the horrible form, clean and jerk is a power exercise. You are not going to get very strong or powerful by doing low weight (badly) for 30 reps. Who is teaching this crap?

[derekandlayla]

@DarmokandJiladLLP Crossfit and its awesome

[spartan1081990]

lmao more like power clean and jerk

[MagicWonder425]

Form has a lot of problems. Biggest 2 things they can do is lift on a better surface (i.e., not asphalt) and get some decent shoes to lift in.

[davids2cool4u]

Such shit form.

[MrRonnierambo]

crossfit just get the wod off the site completely fuck the wod up and your back up because of no critiquing at least you can see where you went wrong on youtube

She's great. He cheated! She didn't! Girly wins!!!!!!

[raymondtyn]

lay off eating the whole pizza lol

[ShotokanKarateRules]

Oh God. That guy had an arched back and his hips were definitely not low enough in the start position...in fact I think he was using his back in the clean rather than his legs and hips. And that was a press, not a jerk. He needs more speed and pull too (shrug shoulders)...and higher elbows once the bar is cleaned.

[vlgagic]

dumbasses. if you want to hurt yourself, just jump off a bridge. No reason to make it complicated by going through all this effort.

[vlgagic]

hips too high, no pulling, power cleans not cleans, feet really wide, back not straight, no explosive movement, all arm row no pull, dangerous and injury prone form for no other reason than random repetitions for for a random time... must be crossfit.

[Chewy8240]

What the fuck is this bullshit

[JJFatty422]

great job duke and girly, thats incredible hard to do.

[dreamerman1000]

[ShotokanKarateRules]

@08u235086349h08gh3

Dude...there's no reason to go round threatening people because of your beliefs. It's people like you that make the others think Christians are dumbshits who go round forcing their religion down everyone's throat.

[thomashadey1]

I'm concerned about how Crossfit pushes clients and athletes without focusing on proper biomechanics and progressions. Looks like a good workout to get you tired and shed a few pounds, but terrible for increasing functional strength and longevity of training.

[parrishkr]

Actually Crossfit is great for increasing strength and endurance. You spend less time training and get better results. It also focuses on proper form for all workouts. I managed to take 13 mins off my half marathon without running other than the workouts!!! Nothing more than a mile. Also can lift better and ride faster. Great program!!

[CptBongue]

Actually, that depends on the trainer. A good trainer would have you do this workout only after insuring you are well familiar with the movement. Some people just research CF online and never even get proper instruction

[Ryanlynn2004]

if you have ever gone to a Crossfit Fundamentals course or Level 1 Vert...you would know that all they stress is proper form...and Coach Glassman continues to preach how you need to scale workouts down if need be...

[Blindedpirate]

That guy's form was rubbish. To much back bending, no hip-drive, no jumping. He's going to hurt himself if he keeps it up.

[Darkwarrior702]

Inspiring thanks for the video!

[dsdxd]

Man.. this is old school! I almost didn't recognize this as the original Crossfit box on E2nd.. they were working out at the carwash!!

[43506]

crossfit sux...this video is horrible.

[BigBoyBato]

yeah, though i'm a male... i always look at the females form.... helps that she is cute, lol

[Seannyskillz]

buds is doing a clean and press much harder than the clean n jerk thats why hes stugglin

[88waddles88]

The guy filming shouldn't even have let him keep going. Swallow your pride and do less weight with good form.

[rogue8649]

The music in this video is perfect. Good job you two !!

[widvekz]

Tough workout. The girl has good technique. The guy should be careful not to injure his back.

[atomichop]

your back is sooo rounded, straighten up or you'll slip a disc. get the form before you start doing the WODs as rx'd. watch some of the burgener videos or something.

[Twiggles02]

Crossfit should be embarassed by the form in their videos.

[lpintof]

wow a troll!

[grambo22]

Nah, this is really poor form, shouldn't have been released, round back pulling, reverse curling, no lock-out overhead etc. Grace will be ugly especially the last 10 reps but this just looks bad for the CF gym that posts it.

[dkj6000]

I'm sure Crossfit will use this as a how not to do Grace video.

[fishfryt]

Wow, Duke only has a few dozen more of those before he needs surgery for his back and/or his wrists. There's a difference between stubborn and stupid. Stubborn is when you keep trying until you get it right. Stupid is insisting on doing it wrong until you wind up in the hospital.

[tomczyce]

the guy is absolutly terrible...the girl isnt that bad

[ArentWeSpecial]

Oy gevalt. Grace means "from the ground to overhead lockout thirty times". Hell, you could power snatch that shit if you wanted to.

[grambo22]

True, would delete my previous comment if I could, what I should've said was the guy would be way more efficient with a decent power clean and push jerk rather than using the arms so much and pressing.

[ArentWeSpecial]

It's true, he does seem to be tiring himself unnecessarily.

[afeld4171]

i dont think so. I'm not completely sure but at my crossfit affiliate we only do a power clean. not a full clean

[grambo22]

Terrible form, yes in CrossFit you will not have as tight a form as a single/double but this is disgusting. I think the point of the workout is full squatting and jerking not just pulling the weight to shoulders and pushing. It's much harder with correct form.

[afeld4171]

hey asshole then why dont you make a video of how to Grace the right way then? but you are right about their form. duke needs to really force an arch in his back or else he probably wont be lifting for a long time because of hurting himself. Duke needs to stop doing these workouts and work on his form before he does these. I am 13 and part of a crossfit affiliate myself and if we dont force an arch in our back the rep does not count. and girly should dip drive and press. not make scissor legs.

[trance4mation]

crossfit's workout grace is a total joke, 30 clean & jerks for time but 99% of the grace videos out there you see them power cleaning. you see them beasting the weight with their forearms and catching the weight on their chest and pressing it up hardly jerking it. i have never seen a grace video on youtube with someone using proper form, they just shoot for time with shitty form, not performing a single clean & jerk, but in their minds theyve done 30

[angrygunsmith]

bad form on tthe guy

[bigstve12]

duke keep that lumbar curve...way too much rounding on the lower back during the clean. Good work to both of you, Grace is one tough motha

[BigEdDunkel]

Duke showed her.

[USA1Army]

her form is way better than his, but watch at 1:04. When she tucks her elbows under, her biceps need to be parallel to the floor, and her hands need to be at her chin. She is heaving her elbows under it cheating herself out of valuable power to be gained by this lift. Seriously though, Duke needs to stop lifting until he gets form. 135 is wayyyyy to much for his ass.

[page0519]

dont fall over girl

[BigBoyBato]

question: why does she kick her legs out like scissors and the dude doesn't?

[Cuziforgot]

duke did illegal clean and jerks...no lifts.

[arosch1980]

those are power clean and jerks...

start with a deadlift, start to jump when the weight gets to your knees, once you're in the air, pull yourself under the bar, catching it in the squat position...now stand up...your jerks are fine...

practice with a broomstick then start adding weight, just 5-10lbs at a time.

[deserthobo]

good advice for these nubs lmao

[deserthobo]

good advice for these nubs lmao

[Vlakarmis]

Great video. I love crossfit. I would love to be able to do these workouts one day. I just started weightlifting a month ago and im loving it. Before that i used to do light weights incorporated with MMA workouts. Im guessing crossfit is like that. Endurance + Strength. Keep the vids coming :)

[pr0mark123]

duke please use your legs a bit more. your lifts will become much better and youll tire out alot less. learn from girl, how she keeps her back flat and chest up and uses her legs to push off the floor.
