Crossfit Flood: 58 box jumps in 60 seconds

[woodsy900]

he should try not using his hands as momentum... thats cheating he should have them crossed on his chest, now that is hard... Also doing 16 in a set is hard enough and i had to squat get a squat action happening... granted it was the first time ive done any crossfit stuff though

[Mv181293]

@woodsy900 He's doing just box-jumps, using your body is the meaning. So it's allowed to use his hands.

[71grandprix]

That was the queerest thing I've ever seen. Just more proof that crossfit people are the worst of the worst in the fitness world.

[MrSmasher55]

WTF? those are not box jumps! on many of those his heel didnt even touch the box!! C'MON San Diego, you guys are weak.....

[shkotay]

I dont know.....when I used to do that I had to jump up, plant my feet on the box, jump back down. The box was high enough I had to squat down some and spring up. No way to do 58 in that amount of time and it hurts. Not sure what this dude is doing.

[Mv181293]

@shkotay He's doing just box-jumps ;). The official box-jump is like this :P.

[shkotay]

@Mv181293 Well to do box jumps like this :P means my tongue has to be on the mat, and the only way to get that to happen is to have a class full of chicks in yoga pants walk by while I am jumping around. Quite painful I say lol! My coaches used to insist on the form I mentioned previously, clean jumps or I had to redo em lol!

[Mv181293]

@shkotay Haha, well, but that's your workout for that time. That doesn't mean the actual movement has to be that way.

There are for every movement variations :)

[shkotay]

@Mv181293 I do like crossfit stuff though. I follow the never gymless program by Ross Enamait which has similarities. Lots of creative stuff to do on the cheap and conditioning ftw!! Hell anybody getting up off their asses to do some dirty work in the gym or around town is good anyday of the week, and you are right, however they do it is up to them long as ppl are exercising!

[Mv181293]

@shkotay I do Crossfit just 2 times a week (sometimes 3) (I'm just 17 years old xD). My father is founder of a Crossfit affiliate in Holland ^^. My brother is going to the Regionals of Europe this June :D.

[shkotay]

@Mv181293 A teen who is physically active on a regular basis is a good thing. Dont quit no matter what! Stay active, have fun and kick ass! Crossfit rocks. I like creative programs that make stuff fun and off the beaten path of the usual gym business of lifting weights or running on a machine all day. I am 6'2 and 270 pds (thats in shape) and even I can do things ppl never thought a guy my size could. You keep pushing yourself and varying the program, you will do amazing things :D

[Mv181293]

@shkotay Thx ;),, I just started,, I will kick ass harder and harder :D.

In August I'm on a Crossfit Trainer Certification.

And it's funny to see a personal trainer with a muscled body, who's not as strong as me :P

[shkotay]

@Mv181293 Lol I agree. The men in my family hang onto bulk like its going out of style yet I am as conditioned as any athlete at my university and in fact have on a challenge outdid some of the wrestling team at their drills on one occasion last year, which being twice their size they couldnt believe lol! Looks arent everything, conditioning is. Have fun and have a great day. Glad to hear you are becming certified!

[Mv181293]

@shkotay Yeah, that are the greatest things xD.

I HOPE I will get certified ;). I already started with preparing, cause it's in English, and I'm dutch :P.

You nice day either (Y)

[txspecial]

this is poop, try landing both feet on box, with explosion and explosion back on the floor, see if you can do 58

[connor13434]

crossfit is for the biggest pussiest homos out there

[McKoyJM]

@connor13434 are you serious. its so fucking hard u douchebag

[cozoner]

@connor13434 crossfit is gangster...gyms are for pussies...but this guy in the video isnt doin shit..he aint even landing properly 

[Mv181293]

@connor13434 Ok, you may try it :P.

But beside,, Crossfit is way more effective (is proved with fitness-people doing crossfit,, and crossfit-people doing fitness,,,, Crossfit people were way more better)

[kulaswifeandmama]

next time go for correct form and land on the box. If you're doing it properly you shouldn't hit many more than 40.

[ASUSTUD]

This is why Crossfit has a bunch of self proclaimed "experts".

[goforthandbefree]

its sliding cos he isn't jumping onto the box, he's jumping out and sticking his legs forwards to meet the box, it just makes the movement quicker so you dont have to do the back and forward motion as much, he wouldn't be able to do 58 in 60 seconds if he was letting his centre of gravity go back and foward more, as it would slow him down.

[shoppingkart]

Sounds like a techno beat. :D

[grambo22]

The reason its sliding is he is not landing and opening the hip all the way (stand up straight) which is how the movement is supposed to be done in Crossfit, he is landing into the box which is pushing it on the floor. For the reps to count you have to fully open the hip every rep.

[iwasbornspecial]

i was gona ask bout that

[Zchwarzenegger]

Why don't you attach the box to the floor so you don't get fucked over by it sliding....
