i think these crossfitters are right, hes not doing "crossfit form", in other words, David Morgan has to kip and bend his back towards spinal paralysis before it is deemed crossfit

@mevenson to be honest what does holding a crossfit "record" even mean? Nothing. This guy has been to the olympic games and won five commonwealth gold medals. He couldn't give less of a shit about some crossfit fag bitching about his ROM. Did you not see that 200kg clean and jerk clip? How was the ROM in that? Loser.

275 cleans.... Looks like he was just playing with the weight... Impressive job!!

Range of motion is important because it establishes a standard. Just as you have a standards in any sport. In American football, for example, there's a goal line which is used to determine the legitimacy of a goal attempt. "Close enough" or, "still impressive either way" do not suffice when scoring and records are at hand.

If someone claims to have beaten the world-record time for running a marathon but only ran 26.05 miles, the claim is still invalid regardless of whether or not the runner did something extra-challenging during the attempt, such as wear a weighted vest. The standard was set and not met, therefore the claim is invalid.

Regardless, David is obviously a very strong athlete. And for being 44 years old at the time, this is very impressive, just not worthy of claiming a "World CrossFit Record."

I crossfit... and I had to pick my jaw up. You just MANHANDLED those cleans... My hat goes off to you sir.

OLYMPIC LIFTERS are by far the most explosive and supreme athletes on the planet. Do the research and you will see. Crossfit is great for general conditioning and exercise, but for some reason lots of dick heads do it! They only reason most athletes accept it is due to all the hot chicks!!!

[166TheTruth]

not saying that this isnt beast but all oly lifters that give shit to cfers about ROM and not doing everything perfectly.. this is an olympic caliber athlete that is not doing both simply because he is trying to get the fastest time possible....

This workout was set by crossfit and David tried it and did well. 9 cleans, @275 3 dl @ 500 + other stuff in 2 mins requires all round fitness. This was posted over 2 years ago and nobody has shown us how to do it. Less negative comments and more action. The guy is 47 give him a break
