Short answer: efficiency. Increasing the volume will demand more strength
(they do tend to work grip/forearm strength differently than strict). We
definitely differentiate between strict and kipping pullups -- they are not
the same thing, but if a WOD/challenge doesn't specify, it's about doing
the movement as efficiently as possible, which requires skill as much as
strength. Generally, the more skilled/efficiency-based movements are
allowed because CF has a large focus on functional movement.
It all stems from being judged on a competitive stage. There is a point
with strict pull-ups where you can simply do no more due to the fact that
it is simply a strength building move. When you kip you incorporate other
factors (technique, momentum, etc.) This gives you the ability to be push
yourself beyond the point of muscle fatigue. While it is not the most
effective muscle building move, it is great for a competitive event based
on speed and muscular endurance.
#1 Don't come at me like you're some smart ass just because you know what
two different presses are. I do know the difference. ,#2 I don't do
crossfit, I am a bodybuilder. I simply think that its maybe good after a
set of real pull ups, but crossfit abuses certain gymnastic movements such
as strict muscle ups and pull ups. I Have respect for the sport, but not
all of the methods involved. I get the concept of the hips.
If sport make you so aggressive in a bad manner, you better stop doing
crossfit! Crossfit encourages people to practce exercice but when I hear
the way you talk (and this is not emulation or encouragement), I don't want
to mingle with you and I stop doing crossfit because I don't want to be as
rude as you are. Someone doing crossfit work hard and don't go on the
internet to say to other that they are 'dog shit'
I never understood the point to that chest to bar pullup form for anything
beyond endurance, may same argument for the kipping you crossfitters do
with muscle-ups on rings. Looks stupid and takes the work out of the
muscles. It's the pull up equivalent to someone bouncing the bar on a bench
press. Don't really get why its in crossfit. Can I get an explanation?
First, recently been watching about every video about crossfit and somehow
hope to start doing this type of routine, however, I'm in an area that
doesn't have the setup. Second! With a humble request: If anyone knows
these guys personally, please tell them to correct the display of the
hanging American flag. The stars should be on the left.
Crossfit doesn't make a person rude. But some of the more arrogant
individuals, who really aren't good at real sports, think they are the best
thing since sliced bread because they do crossfit. Crossfit is a gymnast
workout and the funny part is that most CFers couldn't hang with a real
gymnast.
yes I agree cant even believe it. You are smart if you understand you need
to eat right at your age to kill your belly. Between The surprising part is
my friend who is not doing much excercises, maintaining his six pack with
this secret food items. you can watch out here bit.ly/17ZnN5Z?=fzowo
that's the point though, your body will NOT be comfortable with it, which
is why you will see such great results! and those movements shouldn't hard
you at all if you have proper mobility and can effectively brace your
spine, externally rotate your shoulders, etc. Give it a try you'd like it!
I already told you. i know the bad fat is the reason that stopping 6 pack
coming outside even we work out well. Between I saw an interview with body
building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs
hard. if you are serious go for it now bit.ly/13BUXZb?=ekgny
CF looks like something I may go all in on one day if I feel like my body
is comfortable with those workouts...but I am sorry the workouts with the
Snatch, CJ, an OHS...scream SNAP for my shoulders or Lower Back down the
road....
Yep. we must kill the bad fat and belly first to get the 6 pack. Listen to
this I heard that most of the celebrities used to follow to kill their
belly using this 7 food items. worth watch here now bit.ly/1deGPdT?=wxiwi
It's for speed, simple. I can guarantee that these guys would absolutely
destroy any bodybuilder in any workout. Kip or no kip. Bodybuilding is
pointless muscle only good for standing on stage in ur undies posing lol.
Dude, you embody the self-righteous attitude that so many people have of
CFers. If you are going to try to talk down to people at least learn how to
write a proper sentence without numerous grammatical errors.
Great workout. And I like the respect shown by displaying the Flag. It
shows Patriotism. But, can you flip the American Flag around? The Stars are
always display in the Top Left corner. Semper Fi....
Haha, no, It's not his room, but yes it is a bed. This is in his dad's
garage.barn, and they have a tv around the corner. Don't ask me why they
have a bed.
I bet you never question the difference between a strict press and a push
press (if you even know the difference). its the same concept of using the
hips

CrossFit - "Rich Froning: Games Prep And Training"
Lol Crossfit is more than likely the worst competition you can get
into...Lol lets see rich froning in 10 years and see how hi back is doing
with his slipped disks and sciatica. Ask anyone who does olympic style
lifting the strain anddemand you put on your body is one you will
regret...and training 3 times a day is the dumbest thing ive ever heard of
your braking down your muscles 3 times a day? with no sleep or nutrition to
rest eventually that will catch up to you and if yo dont think so urdum
People are different..which means that people have different goals and
different views on what is important to them. If a person decides that
crossfit is more important to THEM than family and friends then what is
wrong with that..it's their life to live.If crossfit is making an
individual happy and their life now has purpose who are we to judge the
individual on their view of happiness?I believe the true purpose in life is
finding "Happiness" once you find your happiness.Would you let go of it?
agreed. but there's something to be said that people just don't push
through that barrier to handle the work load. if you start doing 2 wods a
day, eventually your body adapts to cope. there WILL be a point where it's
absolute hell, but you get through it, and eventually 2 wods a day is the
norm. people mostly choose not to push through it, and their bodies never
learn how to cope with a higher volume. rich has the genes and the HISTORY
to make this pushing easier, but he's still put in the time
I take absolutely nothing away from the endless hours and warrior-like
effort this man puts forth when I say this (and believe me, I'm a massive
fan of Rich's), but this guy has insane genes. His size, stamina, strength,
and ability to constantly beat down his body when others can only handle
half the work capacity... all while the guy admits that he eats very little
or somewhat poorly (as he's stated several times) and doesn't have much of
a programming plan besides whatever he feels. Insane.
Two WOD's a day isn't that much. A person who is not a professional
athlete, but simply commited can do two and still do an 8 hour workday; If
they go in the morning and the evening. We are talking about less than an
hour's time to do two WOD's; we spend more time commuting in traffic a day
here, than Rich does with weight in the air. I would rather be in the gym
than on the highway myself. My family, friends, and job notice and
appreciate my increased capacity and improved mood and outlook.
Ill tell ya two things when it comes down to that long sustained endurance
that you see from extreme athletes, its two parts one genetics I can always
separate the ones who will push themselves just based off of their body
your abs wich are your rapid reoxdizing stimulators because undoubtabley
your core is the most important part and as you see rich has an eight pach
so he can witstand greater amounts of pressure and stress through prolonged
wods or what have you and the last part is mental
As I can see from your previous comments, you went on a anti-anti-crossfit
crusade. Well, bro, guess what ? I didn't say anything against Crossfit
itself. If people wanna train that way, so be it. But seriously, if you see
nothing wrong with the marketing behind that organization or even the
personality cult surrounding that Rich Froning guy, then you, sir, are a
idiotic sheep. You act as if Crossift was a family to you. It's not, it's a
profit-oriented organization. Dumbass.
what is the essence of sport? here's my personal definition, it is an
expression of human movement against an object or an opponent that is not
limited to ones physical capacity. Now the "fittest on earth" is a ballsy
statement no doubt, however who else out there claims to have the fittest
athletes? Does it need to be measured by science beforehand, no. Science
has always followed performance or an event never predicted... think "big
bang"
Happy I found this film. Appreciate You tube due to this sort of
information. My nephew used to be bullied. He said he was intending to get
bigger. I laughed... But then shortly after that he packed on 40lbs of pure
muscle. He tried the Muscle Building Bible (look in Google). No person
dares to intimidate him these days. :) I signed up last week. See exactly
what goes on. Plus this mans emails are excellent!
I just can't get on board when Rich says he doesn't eat a lot. I'm going to
take it as him saying hes not that good at crossfit too. lol. God may have
made Rich different however God didn't make rich different if I'm making
any sense. :-). Nobody's hitting it 3 times a day and not eating or
supplementing properly. Crash and burn. So I'm confident to say that Rich
is at least eating enough.
i use hook when i tried power snatches. it's only power snatches as i can't
go into a deep overhead squat. i use hook for dead lifts intermittently. i
think it just takes getting used to gripping onto the thumb, but i do
notice it is very effective. i don't like the mixed grip for deadlifting,
which is why i've used it for deadlift. my 1.6X 3RM was done with non-hook
grip, non-mixed.
they dont conflict? :) not telling him what he should and shouldn't do.
-just stating that people are different. Some people can handle it,
(because they really enjoy it) other people, like walker, maybe dont
actually WANT it as bad. and is trying to find an excuse for his ego to
cope that its "okay" to have different interests. Maybe YOU should think
about what you say next time :)
Thank you Broscientist for your perspective and projecting your opinion
upon those that have not licked a ball in their lifetime. Every sport has
had it's "champion" currently CF has "this guy" and each sporting champion
appeals to the fans because of their abilty to epitomise their sport and
sportmanship with the abilty to make their performance look effortless.
Just saying
Are you using the hook grip? In case you are not, try it and you will feel
why soon enough, once you go heavy :) If you do use it and still dont know
- you must have thumbs of steel :P (if you dont know the hook grip - look
it up, its a very strong low-risk (but painful) grip - very effective for
oly lifting where you cant use a mixed grip like for deadlifting).
When you're doing power movements, olympic lifting tends to eliminate the
eccentric movement (lowering the weight). Dropping it conserves energy so
you can do more sequential lifts. They'd rather get 20 good explosive lifts
with the heaviest weight possible rather than 10 with a less heavy weight
where they expend tons of energy controlling it back to the floor.
Thats fair enough if you are a professional athlete but trying to 'push'
through to do TWO wods a day when you intend on having a family life and a
good career is madness. Ive met people who try to do it and they strike me
as very very weird with deep insecurities. Your family, friends and work
should come before doing some damn clean and jerks....
We understand your criticism, but there is no need for such negativity.
People will do what they do, some are genetic freaks like Rich. Just
because you can't recover doesn't mean other people can't. Crossfit is a
community and a lifestyle, you don't have to watch these videos because
most people who do don't appreciate your kind of misanthropy.

How can I get ahold of Rich does someone have his email or something. allow
me to explain, I am 18 years old and In around two months I will be leaving
my little town to go to basic training for the marines. Now in general
terms I am already in shape, but like many of us its not enough to just be
in shape. I have a few questions for him and would like to see if he
couldn't help me better prepare for basic training and to maybe gain some
more mass. I currently only weigh in at 158 pounds at like 6 feet tall. I
would like to get to be around 170-180 or so but like I said I would just
like it if I could get ahold of him.
+Tyler Eaton Dude.... as a Marine... Just go run and do pull-ups. Boot camp is easy as fuck. When you get out of boot, lift weights and keep running. Maybe do some ruck runs.
+Tyler Eaton he's worth 2mil.. You aren't just going to be able to Email him... Just lift and do cardio, and don't hold out on pull-ups.. Good luck in Basic, should be a blast.
