Have u guys ever heard of kettle bells lol. Wow ahahhahaahaa
@psizzle22 hey i know this my sound kinda funny, but am 15 and i workout 4 times a week including i have to go to track after school ends. I play soccer and i have to get stronger by summmer, can you be kind enough to make me a workout? i’ll tell you my stats
is this what cross fit does to the women.. makes them look like butch lesbians?
This form and technique is horrid. Crossfit is a great cardio workout with resistance/endurance training involved, but a lot of people do it with such bad form that your body is actually suffering, even if you are losing weight and getting stronger. And this is all coming from someone who occasionally does a Crossfit workout. Feel free to respond to this post in 20 years if you disagree.
as a personal trainer, i can recommend crossfit it’s amazing, most definitely the hardest workout i have ever done.
he just set it on his foot what a noob
Uhhh. Jumping with weights is a NO NO!!!!!! This cross fit shit IS A JOKE!!!!!!! THE WORST FORM OF WEIGHT LIFTING YOU CAN DO THE WORST WAY TO ABUSE YOUR HEALTHY BODY.
its MORE sports specific than a power lift WHEN you jump. A BS in Kinesiology, D1A Football Experience, and 3 years of pro ball. all of my strength coaches shared the same philosophy.
A more appropriate title for this video:
What not to do with a pair of dumbbells
@strengthcoachny how are DB cleans a sport specific exercise? In a clean, when the feet leave the ground, you cannot exert power on the barbell nor pull yourself under faster (the two ways to express power in the clean). If you want more explosive power, you do heavy cleans for single reps. These guys are doing a conditioning workout, so maybe jumping doesn’t matter. Still, shrugging up is a misunderstanding of oly lifting by CrossFit.
@ghost187x too easy. hooah.
@grambo22 you cant be serious. idk if you’ve participated sports, but the leaving the ground increases explosion. this is not power lifting, it more sports specific training. Just as lifting makes you stronger, the jump makes you a more explosive athlete. No, you dont “need; to shrug, but the shrug adds a little more work to the traps, and also increases the “total’ body factor of the workout. as an athlete, you use your total body in sports specific movements.
You don’t shrug the weight up in a clean, you pull under. With DB’s there is no point in doing a shrug since hip extension will elevate the DB’s. Also no point in leaving the ground with your feet.
I’m reading this and thinking to myself you can’t really be serious…o_0
who needs form just push yourself with bad form as much as possible crossfit is truely the best
that skank has 2 much weight. use some logic. crossfit is cool, but be safe when you conduct the crossfit training. to ez right?
I was all set to post back that you were an idiot when I read the last 2 points…nice sarcasm there..lol. Actually the workout itself isn’t bad if done correctly…
@arsalanmasud
you shouldnt put bodybuilding and crossfit side by side bruddah…. bodybuilding is gay…. crossfit is awesome. you should focus on being less of a dildo.
I’m not going to comment on whether the workout is any good as I’m not a PT and I don’t know anything about crossfit – I came across this clip looking for kettlebell workouts.
What I am going to say though is everytime that women performs a plyometric squat it makes me cringe, being someone who has suffered major ligament damage to my knee, I can just see it’s an accident waiting to happen!
Don’t listen to the haters, this is a great workout. There are 3 major tricks to getting ripped:
1) Weight is more important than form. Push yourself!
2) Lots of jumping and deep bends are good for the joints. You need to toughen them up. The tougher the joints, the more you can lift.
3) Throw your weights when your’e done. The harder you throw them the bigger you’ll get. Plus it makes you look cool.
Whats worse is the coach is cheering them on telling them good job when they are risking injury.
In the words of coach, and I’m paraphrasing….when you tackle something really effing hard, “you might spill your tea” ….my hat’s off to them. That’s horsepower. When you get freakin exhausted, your form is gonna suffer. All you people criticizing just keep right on doin your bicep curls in front of the mirror…crossfit ain’t for you!
The dude’s form is mostly ok (till round 5) but the chick’s form is atrocious. Wayyy too much weight for either of them.
what the fuck is this shit? that chick had terrible form… this is just dangerous, don’t say ‘niiiice’ when they’ve done something awful. Fuck, they give any old boso a job these days.
This looks dangerous. I’d want to stay at least 5 feet from the person next to me!
