yeah these guys look like ordinary gym bros with extraordinarily bad form:

crossfit didn't invent the concept of bad form, but they have given it a renaissance

The reason crossfitters do this lift is because there is an event in the Arnold Strongman contest called Apollon's Axle, which is a 366lb weight resembling two train wheels on a 2" thick axle. Resting the barbell on your stomach like that is called a 'continental' clean and jerk.

Of course, pro strongman are built like cubes of muscle and about a billion times strongman than the average crossfit enthusiast.

That's just weak blood leaving the body making space for strong blood.

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



I have a cousin who does crossfit but he has incredible form and also he's super buff and despite being like 5'5" he gets really hot chicks constantly. He goes to competitions and usually wins the pull up (normal pushups, not that kipping stuff) push up, and endurance competitions.

Seriously, look at this dude. Here he is in the middle of winning an endurance competition and making it look easy.



He changed my mind about Crossfit in general. They're not all bad, and there are certain clubs which really hate the negative attention it gets. His focuses on fewer reps with perfect form, rather than more reps despite failure.

They did something like this during the old pirate days when a fever hit: oddly enough, the patient usually died after letting out all the bad blood from the wrists.

Just think how different it would have been if they had crossfit, not to mention all the pirates would have been both ripped AND alpha as gently caress.

He does crossfit, but he ignores the entire ethos of crossfit, so he's changed my mind i now think crossfit is good even though what he is doing is called Regular Exercises.

i like that crossfit 'gyms' dont have mirrors in so as to enhance peoples ability to develop super poo poo technique.

Crossfit gym owners sue researchers because they mentioned participants who dropped out due to injury.
