CrossFit Games - 2011 Canada East Day 2 Video

[mrjo0e1]

they wouldn't get blisters if they did real pull ups

[asdq8y100]

thats is not pull up its leg up

[wyatt5550]

What's with everyone's bitching about form and technique....Just look at the bright side they aren't overweight and disgusting to look at.

[BritishPrashant]

Those idiots with messed up hands wouldn't have that problem if they weren't creating huge amounts of friction by swinging like monkeys whilst doing pullups.

[killerhaircut]

kipping is GAY

[dan122189]

watching this makes me feel fat... i need a doughnut lol

[UnrealSnipa]

i could do that many pullups if i used my legs to get me up by swinging like a monkey too

[Twisted86]

They shouldn't be allowed to get away with those shitty pullups.

[JusPenner69]

ya i dont agree with those pull ups thats for sure... lol

[MomsFanboy]

That aint pullups, thats swingups...

[comperko]

just lol at the terrible form pull ups

[123phobia123]

these crossfit pull ups are a fucking joke

[x1Corona1x]

2:10 onwards - I thought the announcer said sternums have to go above the bar. That wasn't even near the bar. That was an insult to a pull-up, and don't give any of that kipping pull-up bs, if you're going to do a kipping pull-up at least go full rom with it. I fail to see what any of this actually accomplishes. Theres jack at all trades master of none, then theres not even good at anything.

[z08north]

form might be bad but they're still manipulating the weight

[bmws1000rrfan]

LMFAO!!!

[kevincease]

yeah wtf is up with the terrible form everywhere?

[gasfr]

people used to say the same thing about running, mista. and god knows there is less variety in running than in crossfit (i say as a former distance runner). prior to prefontaine, the running revolution, and nike/bowerman, NOBODY cared to WATCH running. it was viewed as ... wait for it.. exercise.

[mistaD72]

I just can't wrap my head around it. Why would people other than family members and friends of those competing, sit in the stands and watch people exercise? Crossfit, a spectator sport? Meh. That's right up there with watching paint dry.

[kwak76]

How do they not get injured when their forms breaks down ? I been watching some of these crossfit..but I get confused by what their goals are? I mean I look at their WOD but it's like all over the place. I don't know where the progression is. I don't deny they are in good shape but still I feel that there are better methods out there .

[patjshaz]

Only part that matters: 1:34 - 2:49

[mensacyclist]

Now it's time for the "men".

[mensacyclist]

These chicks are flat.

[SuperSayanFitness]

you know how low your sternum is morons , you have to do muscleups to set it higher than the bar . maby you meant clavicle

[jahlove111]

camille is so pretty! love her body! and what a beast! wow

[raitchev123]

They call this a pullup?

[mojojojo1337]

kipping pullups are for cheaters that cant to real pullups tired of crossfatters bullshiting

[eonlinetrainer]

Kipping pullups require a level of explosiveness and power. The one thing I would caution is the wear and tear that one could endure to the joints and ligaments if this move is done repeatedly over time. The most important thing when working out is getting results with the least amount of injury. If this movement can be performed while using the correct form or subjecting the body to pulling or tearing a muscle, ligament or joint; more power to the person that is able to do this move.

[JWRing87]

As a response to people asking about the form of the pullups: Crossfit is about maximum power output in a measured amount of time (i.e. how much work can you get done, and how quickly?). So if kipping pullups allow them to get more reps done quickly, it is acceptable. There are still standards for range of motion that must be adhered to. Their goal differs from that of most workout programs in that they aren't trying to just build muscle. In that case, strict pullups would be preferable.

[M1ck19]

camille is one haaawwtt jacked girl

[kANNY562]

so stupid, look at the pull ups

[TamaNewb]

2:11 WTF Dolphin ups??

[fibreoptik]

Nice jerking motions/improper form. Fantastic way to fuck up your body!

[mrk1ngsir]

i broke a sweat watching this

[joeblowmha]

nice pull ups LOL

[Darthmaio]

lmao the hell kind of a pull-up was that?! Just a little bit of kipping lol, just a little.

[nnnbbbmmm79]

@Darthmaio Yeah I don't understand the crossfit chinups either, I learned gymnastic style chin ups where your chin must actually go over the bar, slow drop to a dead hang and repeat. The crossfit method emphasizes rhythm of motion rather than proper complete muscle contractions. There may be a reason for this, a benefit of sorts, but I have yet to know it.

[Darthmaio]

@nnnbbbmmm79 Yeah the only thing I can imagine one would gain from doing pull-ups like that is maybe a cardio workout. Because you certainly aren't working the Lats very much by doing them like that.

[keithtm1776]

@nnnbbbmmm79

Go to the website and read their information, they have a very articulate rationale for why they do what they do. JWRing87 has given you a quick answer above...

[phattrainer]

Matt Lefave needs to get a bit deeper on his OHS.

[otatted1]

how much weight are they deadlifting?

[tetratheum]

@otatted1 185lbs i think

[tarns77]

@TreeSmoke1999 - you don't have a single clue what you're talking about it.  it's telling that you say KB swings are the dumbest exercise you've ever 'seen'. Try 'em. Keep your chest up, torso hollowed out, shoulders externally rotated, get your arm behind your ear at the top of the swing (without chicken-necking). Less than 20kg does not count.

[DJKJSeph]

I don't understand why they do the pull up like that.

[fibreoptik]

@DJKJSeph

because they are not capable of doing that many proper ones. If they did them properly they would max out at 2-3 sets of 10-12

[jamrockingston]

camille is fucking fucking hot

[ElementKenji]

im no expert but something looks kinda weird at 4:24 - 4:27

[aeroview213]

1:43 You're Welcome! (notice the timestamp #)

[FloydofOz]

It wouldn't be a crossfit video without people showing how proud they are of torn calluses.

[kolbiez]

GREAT form at :23

[funkdoc118]

"One way ticket to SNAP city!"

[heartyoumendy]

how the fuck did they get cuts and shit on their hands.Softcocks

[jcoleCRNA]

holy sheesh if i did pull ups like that i could actually do a lot! games looks intense though!

[TreeSmoke1999]

Technique is garbage, I cant believe people compete in a sport which tests kettle bell swings LOL, probably the dumbest exercise I've ever seen. All I see is a bunch of eliteist whipper snappers!!

[Etrajbe]

@TreeSmoke1999 WHAT? kettle bell swings is one of the best exercise methods around? training the muscles you normally do PLUS the support muscles? theres a reason top athletes and generally all special forces use it...

[prplhaze701]

BONER ALERT

[TheRightjustice]

Girls Don't have chest

[TheRightjustice]

Girls in crossfit

[steve0clone]

wow those girls are finnneeeeeee

but i gotta admit kip ups are so fucking dumb

[uscjeremy]

ahhhhhhhhh camille leblanc-bazinet. marry me

[iwatcutube]

what is that thing they do with the horizontal bar...that snaking like motion

[mtownsprts]

@iwatcutube its called kipping, if its what i think you are refering to.

[tacklemcclean]

Every Kettlebell swing I see from CrossFitHQ has them swinging it all the way up to straight above the head. Is that normal? Never seen that before. Seems a bit unnecessary, no?

[bobojdogg]

@tacklemcclean - Kettlebell swings that go to above head down to behind knees are "American" technique. KBs parallel to shoulder to floor are "Russian" technique. Both are valid. American style engages more muscle groups and allows for a faster "flow" such that it is favored when going for fastest time.

[m45t4]

Most of them have such a bad technique...

[keithtm1776]

@m45t4

But, did they get the job done? this is not an asthetics competition, that's for fags in speedos, this is about real athletics and completing the objective..what do you have to say about that??

[m45t4]

@keithtm1776

What is the point you are making?

Why do sport when you hurt your back or anything else while doing it?

Sport is mostly for staying healthy in my opinion...

[keithtm1776]

@m45t4

Who says "they hurt their back"...you? any sport endeavor has a risk of injury. You have to assess your risk tolerance

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@keithtm1776 But the risk is much increased with poor technique...Surely you understand that?

[keithtm1776]

@LunchtimeLoonies

let's clarify what technique you are questioning first...

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@keithtm1776 The infamous 'kipping' pull-up. Bad, bad exercise....I agree it is the fastest way to do a 'pull-up' but this is not good in the long run or for average joes.

[BWpepperr]

@m45t4 Agreed, Crossfit isn't a very good system, though, depending on the discipline, there are exceptions.

[alacranmontoya]

presenter is like a young version from that mean doctor in the series scrubs

[55LanceBriggs]

I get back pain from just watching those terrible "deadlifts".

[b4listic206]

@ricardozs1983 why you mad because she can out perform you lol

[ricardozs1983]

@b4listic206 in bed of course she can XD

[corporacionmonstruo]

so many overhead pressing makes my rotattor cuff cry

[bladdan]

fucked up pull ups

[Etrajbe]

@bladdan retard

[bradskys]

Let's race each other, with heavy ass weights...... c'mon guy's really?

[noobhealz402]

This is fucking retarded.

[TheBalisto]

The fuck?

[Johnpwns391]

cant be to good for those hands. Gonna have hand problems in the long run

[djrazr]

A shit load of bad form on the deads

[kjaekken]

Y u cheat on the pull ups?

Dont use legs to create momentum. dead hang for the wind!

[TheKinnie]

im seeing exercises which i think have to be done in a circuit and i also see time so how does it work?

[justindayhicks]

i do real sports, not trying to be the best at working out

[Kamenos4ever]

1:54 sexy bitch

[bruceliem]

Camille is pretty amazing. I think if she trained in MMA and had many years of experience, she can give Gina Carano a run for her money because of her mentality. Just pure focus!

[13charachters]

250 chest to bar pull ups...did I hear that correctly? Fuck.

[emm589]

that Camille is a hottie

[urhunted]

Whats a good weight to start overhead squat? I do Thrusters 40 reps around 15kg and squats ain't a problem..

[urhunted]

Whats a good weight to start overhead squat? I do Thrusters 40 reps around 15kg

[mtbkbmt]

Exercise as a competitive sport??? It's akin to cooking a gourmet meal, then throwing it out without eating it. Strange!!! ...But the chicks are definitely hot!

[emm589]

@mtbkbmt bet you´re fat or will be soon... ; )

[mtbkbmt]

@emm589 Ass so fat I need a lap dance.

[SexualStrat]

Just a bunch of juiced-up attention-whores.

[IRedRuMI]

@SexualStrat why are you watching this if i may ask

[SexualStrat]

@IRedRuMI 1) To laugh at all the stupid comments written by stupid people who think they'll build bodies like these juicers without steroids/hgh.

2) To help educate those stupid people about getting in shape and opening their eyes about/to steroid/hgh use.

3) To perve on juiced-up "females" + see how big they are these days + try to figure out what they're on + shake my head at how obvious it is. You know, same reason why people watch the Olympics, female tennis, lingerie football league...

[arjay2002ph]

@ 4:18 dude's look like solid snake. : )

[AntonSlizzardhands]

mon cherie 1:14

[MrGan73]

recipe fur injury 

[b4listic206]

@MrGan73 Recipe for getting in shape :)

[urhunted]

@MrGan73 Don't you think most sports are.. Like baseball, rugby, soccer etc..

I agree, most forms are bad.. But those atletes aren't in a weelchair

[trulyheaven777]

Form really isn't that bad on most of these. The exercises...are what they are. A kip pullup is not a pullup/chinup. Overhead squats where good considering how tough it is to do.

[SuperDeademo]

where's day 3??



[happokylpy]

@scarred10 brb snapping myself in half because form was 'irrelevant'.

[CBRYDR]

I wish I didnt have a bad back, otherwise crossfit wouldve been my thing

[AChildOfBodom667]

As a person who swears by Crossfit, and someone who is picky about form, to all the youtube form warriors, please shut the hell up about form. The 'bad' form, may not be 100% textbook, sure, but these people are stronger, faster, tougher, and better in pretty much every way than your bicep-curling, eliptical-training, smith-machine using beanpole ass is. So, rather than shout from the sidelines, maybe head down to your local box and find out what a real workout is.

[themeaningoflife38]

at 2:15 the girl in the nice white shorts wasnt even close to touching her chest to the bar.But she is very hot though

[FinnishCraig3]

@themeaningoflife38 I believe the women were not required to touch chest to bar, just the men. They didn't exactly explain that though.

[c2conditioning]

@FinnishCraig3 250 chin ups? Each person? at once? please explain?

[aeiou99999]

@c2conditioning Not at once. The stop often. They are also free to "kip" meaning they jerk their bodies up.  Still impressive.

[nellek970]

Muscle lady boobs nasty

[happokylpy]

not a single good form excercise was done that day.

[scarred10]

@happokylpy thats irrelevant,its a competition where total work output is the goal,not building muscles or strength.

[alex4011]

@happokylpy shutup faggot get back to your elliptical where you got your form down

[intotherei]

@happokylpy apparently you didn't watch a single second of the video that day.

[MonsterSkateKrew]

BOOBIES

[rkorbely]

I'm so conflicted. I love the idea, but what the KIP on those pull ups. Is this a test of who can use kinetic energy the best?

[TheBoyupstairs]

and by deviation i dont mean bad form. there is 'Bad' form and then there is acceptable deviation from the IDEAL resulting from biomechanical diversity and thats what it is, an ideal not an absolute.

[TheBoyupstairs]

yes, the second deadlifters upper back rounds as he reaches near full extension. so fucking what? this is not a text book, its real life. his starting position is perfectly fine, his arms are straight, he does not hyperextend his back and importantly he maintiains his lumbar curve. its perfectly acceptable when you realise this is the real world and the implications that go with that. so stop crapping it.

[TheBoyupstairs]

all you guys complaining about people having less then text book form. who the fuck does exactly??? almost nobody actually matches the bio mechanical ideal 'good form' guidelines are based on. and thats all they ultimately are, guidlines. deviation is inevitable in all but a tiny minority of people who happen to have been born with a very narrowly confined set of physical parameters.

[Dman40000]

High speed deadlifts? you seriously expect that to go well?

[thecityalive]

What no softball throwing? SMH.

[smallgroupfitnessDG]

All things said... The idea is genius, the people at the top are genius. I assume these competitors were not coached to that degree. Standards for range of motion exist but do not accomodate the greater issue which is whether or not what you are doing is being done well. Hundreds of thousands of kids if not millions nation wide squat to or below a parallel hip crease are you to tell me that statement should suffice. Is it possible that range of motion shouldn't be the only standard?

[rampagejt1]

You haters are like whiny children in high school who sees someone drive a 1969 Camaro to school and say "camaros suck, mustangs are way better".

[pouinjai]

As soon as a crossfit video is posted, you have those retarded guys that lack so much of self esteem that they feel the need to bash what other people love.

You know, because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Because you see someone with a bad form does not mean everyone has a bad form. Most could not do half of what these people do yet find excuses to bash them.

BTW, profesionnals spend lifetimes learning proper form, you don't have a proper form either so does 99.999% of the population

[RustyIronloins]

retarded

[smallgroupfitnessDG]

crossfit does not care about doing things correctly.

[canadiancop]

@smallgroupfitnessDG .....that's not an accurate statement. Athletes are no-repped for incomplete movements if they don't hit full ROM.....it comes down to poor judging....but the standards are endorsed and taught properly........

[smallgroupfitnessDG]

@canadiancop if you watch their videos on their webiste, theres a video of a guy doing Grace in front of a whole room of crossift people cheering him on and his clean and jerk form is awful. Crossfit has an at-all-cost mentality first and form and technique mentality second. that's just one example. Tosh does Grace... it's in the exercise archive.

[zweiosterei]

@smallgroupfitnessDG Yeah, their form is horrendous, the women are good looking though.

[rampagejt1]

@smallgroupfitnessDG oh my god, who cares, if you don't like it don't do it, no one is forcing you to do or watch or even like crossfit. You sir, are a hater. 

[canadiancop]

Guy at 3:31...hips not close to parallel...

[w0rsel]

I know the announcer guy looked familiar... he's an anchor on BNN

[djflipside]

Where can I get me some CrossFit Ladies. Damn, there all looking Great at this even

[Titemoune]

@djflipside : Absolutely, round back!

[dchen345]

The 2nd man in the video was doing deadlifts incorrectly.
