2012 CrossFit Games - Chipper: Individual Men, Heat 3

[@ColdSpring1984]

Rich Froning isn't just the fittest man in 2012, moreover he showed the greatest fairplay attitude I have ever seen: when after he finished the race, he went back to motivate the other guys! That's how a sportsman should have to behave!

[@chuckdee27]

The camaraderie of Crossfit. I LOVE IT!

[@williamsonbuchner4450]

Wow, having announcers makes a big difference.

[@Drumwannabe17]

Good model set by Froning on this WOD, be controlled, nothing he did was frantic or rushed, he simply moved methodically through each movement, doing everything unbroken and using the in between time as a rest rather than a sprint to the next movement.

[@Nikkirdgzolmo]

It's great to see that even though they compete against each other when their done they cheer the rest to finish up!!

[@ritul1989]

great to see froning encouraging homlberg . there is no hostile competitiveness in Crossfit! .. one has to appreciate that aspect of Crossfit ..

[@MarkOmobono]

it's kinesio tape, it helps increase bloodflow to muscle groups when used in a specific pattern. Usually it's used to help heal an injury or help one compete with an injury.

[@jgerickson7]

Looking back through the comments and damn this is false.

[@debboo69]

Froning = BEAST

[@grizmy77]

My favorite crossfit moment too! I like it... :)

[@alex081291]

No. A full extension was not required in this event.

[@jared1718]

I wonder what it’s like being rich froning

[@mytryelife]

looks like so much fun !!!

[@BC-ff3mn]

Perfect example set by fronting that crossfiters should take note of. Safe technique wins championships

[@crazytiger4690]

이때가 좋았지~~

[@thearaban]

christmas abbot was holmberg's judge. nice.

[@Wo000T]

whats the purpose of the tape?

[@milhouse4588]

What's wrong with their form?

[@soupremeofficial2914]

Yep it's a bit shit but crossfit is a cult

[@xSO20]

[@ConnorRunsFree]

[@rbsaanchez]

[@BootyfulBee]

[@a1a2a3a4jimmy]

its not normal,but i like it ;)

[@tsraney]

What? Lol @ the broadcaster at 14:00.

[@ritul1989]

this isnt chipper! .. the real chipper was at the '09 games .. that wouls DESTROY half the competitors in this field .. including Rich .. he is a monster though . so repect to all the competitors .. they are all fit in my books! .. enough shit against Crossfit .. would love people to do just 50 DB thrusters + 75 push ups + 100 air squats without stopping !! one has to admit you need a level of fitness to do this kind of things .. well fitness + endurance! =) just my opinion ..cause i do Crossfit

[@HCSTPHIL]

You will probably

[@mortezag2010]

What the hell Travis doing there?

[@bryanherediacespedes2622]

Calistenia 💪🏼

[@laxpro30]

4:40 they could hammer those out so much quicker if they would just quit dropping it

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

Isn't it more efficient to let gravity do the work in lowering the weight than their backs?

[@laxpro30]

thats why you use your legs and bend at the knees get low and you can explode right up because if you dont drop it and set it down on your own then as it touches the ground you are already in position to go right back up you can drop it on the final rep but hammer it out, i shaved 10 seconds off my set by not dropping it so say again about gravity?

[@PlasticSimulacra]

CI Lacrosse It is slightly faster to do the cleans touch-and-go as you say, but it takes a fairly significant amount of extra effort. In a very short work out (

[@brodybroderick9782]

I'm pretttttty sure that, of all people, Rich Froening knows what he's doing..... and so if he's dropping his weights between reps, there's a good reason and by criticizing the top athlete in a sport you just sound dumb.

[@laxpro30]

obviously rich froening doesnt know how to do thoe if he keeps dropping it, hes just losing time off his reps and therefore would lose the race if there was someone in there who actually knew what the hell they were doing and didnt drop the bar every rep and waste the time to pick it up under the false pretenses that you get a rest that rest is minuscule comparatively to the one you get when you finish the competition earlier than the rest of your competitors

[@mimi4ka2208]

Hey there, have you heard of "Musclegend" (search on Google)? On their website you will find a smart free video showing the right way to pack on noticeable lean muscle quickly whilst reducing fat as well. Geoff is among the countless guys which enjoyed good results using this strategy. It might work for you also.

[@martinglennon4282]

I love how rich treats this like an every day training. Just cruising through it.

[@EthanBird]

I love seeing the encouragement between competitors once they have finished

[@seanpinnegar]

Rich is something else

[@kvn08cosmo]

Ok - so I am BRAND NEW to the CrossFit Community. . . Is Chipper the name of this workout? Or is it a format?

[@dantdu]

Please post workout load in descriptions. Otherwise, awesome!

[@PedroiatheDestroia15]

[@TINutrition]

Damn this looks hard as shit!

[@michaelkelland7990]

[@reeceturner8310]

Whats crazy the crossfitters now would do this for a warm up 🤣

[@witheredserenity]

Its a burpee muscle up

[@jhallysaab1484]

I like is games 👍💯👍

[@SenorDennis]

Why were they doing the worm before the muscle up on the rings?

[@judeyyudkin3183]

Too bad you don’t see that anymore!

[@alex081291]

The amazing thing is that you don't realize how hard it is until you see some of the fittest people struggling. Really amazing competition.

[@nealc8321]

Goat !

[@rhythmnsmoke]

One of the reasons why you get addicted to it.

[@JohnnyWooh]

Graham and Christmas would make quite the hot couple.

[@jaredmunday6074]

Crossfit haters aren't the brightest of people

[@griffishep1]

Anybody know how much weight they were using?

[@benreisner]

isn't the games' standard that you must fully extend on top of the box? fronning cheated

[@racingbee]

it's a box stepover, not a box step up

[@elizabethkatyacastilloapaz5387]

Q bravo

[@DJnutgaming]

no "t" in froning

[@HCSTPHIL]

You will
