2012 CrossFit Games - Sprint/Rope-Sled: Men, Heat 2

[@TheMicky53]

Yea, but these guys are doing things that any football player could only dream about. Remember, we're sitting around in our easy chair watching this.

[@dandamanman2200]

I watched this smoking a cigarette.. i think im gonna quit now

[@MaFd0n]

same

[@maggot1111666]

I find it hard to believe that a bodybuilder, who trains for aesthetics and not performance, could defeat these guys. I doubt jay Cutler could climb a rope.

[@tommasobedini8057]

If you have less weight and muscle on upper body and more in lower body i think that you are in advantage because the upper body is less used than the lower after seeing the exercises

[@renatonaves8383]

I was impressed with this fabulous sport, had never even heard speak at Crossfit here in Brazil. Sensational, are to be congratulated all the athletes for the incredible physical strength and endurance!!!

[@RoryDangerCox1]

I hear your point, and cross fit doesn't nail specific muscles like gym work does or bring's your cardiovascular system to new levels like running does. But I would say that cross training makes a person the best definition of "physically fit" than any other sport does- all rounders

[@JetPilot1956]

Now try it with 15 lbs of body armor, a pistol belt and an AR 15. The Tactical Games!

[@suprimacy1]

Its just how you talk about it. You condescend something people truly put so much into. We crush ourselves on a regular basis to get to levels we have never been and few can achieve. But your right these are all athletes that might not have been TALL enough or BIG enough. Specialists dont get far in CrossFit instead its about enduring in as many ways as possible. Im just giving you a hard time.. come train anytime, on me!

[@cobra22006]

can you make super extream hard crossfit? 200M sprint 100 push up 50 sit up 50 chin up or what ever who will take challange

[@KevinWakliFitness]

I am ready.

[@PumpkinDog33]

would be nice if they put what the workout was in the description of the video

[@PaloSoldierofAllah]

If you wonder what does slow motion means ... then watch this video 😃😃😃😃

[@Luisventuralaw]

Actually, no, I cannot. I have been CrossFitting only for 4/5 months, and what is there not to love? That you feel better than you ever have? That you can do stuff that makes your friends' eyes pop out? That you can bang out a good looking physique? That you can run more, lift more, and do more than you ever thought possible? I think the nay-sayers are either not-doers or cherrypick some bad anecdotes, e.g., "I know a guy who got hurt doing back squats." Forget the hating, keep on loving.

[@ratanachaipongosod875]

ขนาดดู ยังเหนื่อยแทน

[@Luisventuralaw]

I did not start exercising regularly until Jan. 2009 at 39 years old. The big 4-0 was around the corner, and I finally had the thought, "If not now, when? It certainly is not going to get any easier from here on." So I signed on to the local Y, worked off 25 lbs. over a year, then kept at eating well (no junk, no soda, very few sweets). This progressed into a desire to take things up a notch, and it turns out CF was two notches. So much the better. Thus, my loving comments re CF above.

[@RadenMan]

The guy who finished second looks like a buff version of Jim from American Pie :) This looks awesome btw, the guy who won has a physique of a superhero!

[@maggot1111666]

Keep in mind they are doing other events, like db snatch 75 pounds 50 times on each arm in something like 10 minutes. I bet most Olympic 5k runners couldn't even db snatch 50 pounds once.

[@TheRubikz]

Not being funny, but they look as if there putting absolutely no effort in at all

[@ethanchen2891]

Devon Smith prior to this theyve done a triathalon and they're also saving strength for later workouts that will be even harder

[@ethanchen2891]

On top of that most of the men are 200 plus pounds of pure muscle

[@dickc7625]

I was wondering why they looked like they was struggling.

[@LAPRACTICAHACEALMAESTRO]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXe8qISba6abbMU

[@hoangphung1012]

I don't do crossfit but pretty sure this shit is fuckin exhaust and need alot of durable and strength. They have to balance alot not just 1 or others.

[@brother_Tennessee]

Crossfit games reminds me of a nfl combine

[@azn182]

Soccer players have great cardiovascular endurance but terrible in stregnth Same for NBA players Olympians? They excel in one area that's it. ex. Powerlifters = terrible endurance. Swimmers = Poor in strength. Sprinters = Poor in strength. Crossfit is about cardiovascular AND strength endurance. Two key elements of being "fit". You're not fit if you can run 26 miles but cant deadlift or squat 100 pounds. You're not fit if you can bench 500+ or dead lift 600+ but can't run a mile.

[@sunnyshudz5505]

Not athletes

[@camarada1996]

Im pretty sure crossfit is exercise in futility. On this types of games and challenges, you don't want to train "crossfit" but calisthenics and cardio. being light and mastering your bodyweight is na huge advantae, while having great strenght and core.

[@4lbert0]

Chris p swimmers=poor in strength? Wtf?!?

[@3jwebb]

I'm surprised these guys are that exhausted after a 200 meter or so sprint. I guess the goal is to be good at everything.

[@Eric-lx8hp]

There's a huge emphasis on lifting/strength here -I'd be surprised if they can run a respectable 10 or even 5 K

[@stilltoks6904]

Eric don't forget this was after a load of events. I'm sure their legs are dying from all the lifts and squats

[@keyboard_warrior_yt_douche]

3jwebb ask Bold if he s exhausted after a 100 sprint

[@terrmaso]

What exactly do you mean by "top wrestler"? If you are referring to the WWE wrestlers you are sadly mistaken. Love to have you come do some Crossfit with me and see how long you last.

[@sozeee27]

jesus christ this is ridiculous how much they push themselves in football just 1 of those sleds is fucking terrible for 40m

[@TahitiSkeez]

is it just me... or is the volume of this video really low? I know for a fact when I watch the next video ill be deafened

[@chloechieng6435]

i can feel the heat from here

[@ابوعقابالعيسئ]

اقسم بالله ابطال في معنة الكلمة

[@Immortalizer101]

not even.... there are over 400 crossfit workouts and the crossfit games kinda doesn't tell you which one's they are ganna challenge you in until u get there.... so they may look fit... but they are sooo much fitter... imagin if u got events ur bad at and still have to try n win... u cant train for this sh*t cause it's so random of the events.... amazing work guys :D Sport of Gods

[@joshuamichaud8372]

Because they cannot do it. I own an affiliate and I have come to realize that the biggest haters of CrossFit are those who are scared of it or those who just know that genetically they are weak. So instead of adapting and overcoming they remain stagnant and weak. Let them all hate man and keep doing your own thing. Let them be sheep while you remain a lion.

[@lancermamun000]

Hello there, have you tried "MuscLeader" (have a look on Google)? There you will find a nice free video showing the way to gain visible lean muscle quickly while reducing body fat simultaneously. Kyle is one of the many guys who experienced great results because of this methodology. Hopefully it helps you as well...

[@brother_Tennessee]

I admit I like crossfit but like others have said financially its honestly a rip off and a scam, 140 and above for group classes, if I pay that much I want one on one with me and the trainer the only ones in the gym

[@utkarshharrymehta3301]

Did anyone notice the song in the background from 2:00 ... it's Michael Jackson's Smooth criminal! 😅

[@benklee127]

No offence to anyone but although they are strong their running is pretty bad, I understand that they were doing alot of work but after the first two runs everyone was walking/jogging near a walking pace.

[@brother_Tennessee]

well crossfit gives the average Joe the opportunity to feel like a athlete. I see crossfit as competition instead of a workout. well thats just how I feel when I do a wod

[@kawasakininja13]

What a circuit! Mad respect for the competitors!!

[@jaimemoros]

kawasakininja13 .

[@johndoe-bw6pj]

Holy shit, this is really difficult stuff....Respect

[@jchoggan]

Uh... that's kinda the point. Though top crossfitters (particularly the women) are starting to become competitive nationally and internationally in Olympic weightlifting, fwiw, and some are world-class athletes in other disciplines as well.

[@ADD_AJ]

Just isn’t the same without Sean woodland’s commentary

[@liquidsnake1959]

lol japan is a lot smaller than america, australia (where im from) or canada etc... lol . greedg

[@eyoung75ey]

Sure crossfit is good exercise, but the term "fittest alive" is unbelievably misleading.

[@kmb5707]

Respect

[@ShahidKhan-pt7ko]

Very nice game and exersais

[@MeepMeep88]

I wouldn't have climbed down the rope and waste energy. There's padding so just drop down lol

[@charleshaliburton9209]

Mochaka Boom and risk a sprained ankle?

[@MeepMeep88]

Charles Haliburton LOL not sure if trolling or serious

[@charleshaliburton9209]

This is a serious competition. Why would they risk injury

[@MeepMeep88]

Charles Haliburton LOL this is crossfit.. Half the shit has risk of injury you little baby

[@charleshaliburton9209]

Obviously you're not an athlete. That's ok. I am sorry i engaged in conversation with you. No further response is required.

[@balla2172]

There is a reason this died. Not only is it terrible for your body it was just a fit fad. That people realised it wasn't worth putting your body through

[@rakantarabzouni3650]

That a collegiate wrestler would have no problem doing this workout, I'm sure they would fair pretty well but they are not going to beat these guys at it. I am not putting down wrestlers or weightlifting or anything else, but it is unfair for you to dismiss crossfit. I'm glad you're in shape, better than some fat lazy person talking trash behind their screen. Yes anyone can do crossfit that's the idea as it was made to scale to everyone.

[@JDic24]

How was anything i stated irrational or non factual? This is the only Crossfit video i commented on. I actually do have an idea of "how hard this is" being i started training in one of the top powerlifting gyms in the country, and then actually trained at a cross fit affiliate box, i train in a similar fashion and am actually in great condition.my opinion is that from what i've noticed the WOD lacks efficient programming in order for it to be truly effective in a progressive manner.

[@Lebowskiification]

Nothing in this video is unique to crossfit so I wouldn't be surprised if some non-crossfitter could do it. The sprints and sleds would be easy cause I had to do them for 4 to 5 timed sets for football back to back. We had ropes but we never did them on the same day as the sprints and sleds. Non the less, I could do this workout without training specifically for crossfit because this particular event isn't special. It's endurance and strength; something running backs and rugby players have.

[@JDic24]

My point is a Top tier Collegiate wrestler would have no problem competing because of their insane strength and conditioning,"Crossfitters" don't really train anything. The WOD has no programming what so ever, so "Training Crossift" doesn't mean anything.

[@Ipaddlesaac]

I don't think these guys are the fittest men on earth. The guy who wins can only run a 20 minute 5k. That's pretty slow, I'm 13 and I can run a 5k that fast. I'm a kayaker and I think some of the Olympic level paddlers could beat these guys. I think this should have more cardiovascular stuff as well as the strength and only then can they truly be called the fittest men on earth

[@nicksantoianni5077]

@eyoung75ey you clearly have no idea what your talking about, crossfit touches all aspects of physical conditioning, it's not just pushing heavy weights like a dumbass it's dynamic, muscular strength and endurance training. I hope I can compete in that tournament one day, because to win such an event does indeed classify you as the fittest man walking.

[@mcbrave15]

15:47 ohh man I know that feeling and it is called suffering!

[@blackace3186]

I am watching this in 2020 ..hope u had great past 7 years

[@flogozgeik1898]

Whats wrong with these guys? Running so slow? They better do sport from time to tine to get fit! 😉

[@markweysman2709]

Я смотреть устал, не то что они там бегают )))) красавчики!!!

[@gotdrumline]

This statement is ignorant. Crossfit is a mixture of almost all types of exercise. If you are an athlete of any kind, you can do at least some Crossfit routine. It's like saying a Marine or Ranger or any military person from any country couldn't do this because he or she isn't a crossfitter. Do some homework. There is no such thing as a "crossfitter". They are all athletes or health enthusiast that train in more than just Crossfit.

[@rstingle88]

@ipaddlesaac, with being so young you should do more research on crossfit and the crossfit games, its not about running a 5k in 20 minutes its about the five rounds of snatches and burpees that they do afterward, crossfit embodies the unkown, so in your case, "paddlers" train for paddling, where as crossfit athletes train for the unknown, because life is unpredictable, so please do more research before trolling. Thank you and have a great day

[@fredisdeadization]

please google , clean and jerk and snatch injury. it is all to common for newbies . My other beef with crossfit , is i find that alot of "crossfitter" sacrifice form for speed . This is a one way ticket to snap city. Other than that i think it is great. i just believe in training safe .

[@DrAL00isin]

Cross fit is like extreme PE class. I had PE when I was in Junior high and high school, I don't know about now with all the cutbacks to programs, we also had presidential fitness awards that I don't see anymore. Why would the Obamas give us food NAZIs at school and then not emphasize physical education programs too? Sorry to get political but in our area its like we get government lecturing us about health and importance of education and then get cuts in those areas with more government control.

[@fredisdeadization]

On another note. powerlifter/bodybuilders/sprinters/endurance athletes etc. find that crossfitter somehow believe that they came up with something new or special. What they are doing is a type of decathlon or ( Pentathlon) nothing new about it . In which multiple levels of fitness are tested. it is great to watch and i am impressed by some of there fitness levels.

[@JDic24]

D1 Collegiate Wrestlers are some of the strongest/fit athletes out there. Soccer moms "Do Crossfit", i would bet the top athletes that compete here don't do the daily "wod",they train like athletes.

[@jhallysaab1484]

Very very Nice video 👍💯👍 I am SABI Kuwait to Very very thanks Sir G

[@JDic24]

Can you please state where i was "Speaking Nonsense"? have you ever trained with a Top level collegiate wrestler? They're physical specimens and most of them are tough as nails.

[@GanjaMan347]

If you give top wrestler 1month to train crossfit and viceversa for top crossfitter and then put them compete in both sports, wrestler would do better

[@gotdrumline]

Because they can't compete. The haters are always the people that are out of shape.

[@Ipaddlesaac]

Also this is an expensive sport so many people would not be able to participate. You are just the fittest person of a select group of people.

[@NealThefs]

Is it just me or did they run really slow. I could have smashed them.

[@lMobiuscidl]

CrossFitters are slow as fuck . They don't have any athletic abilities, thats why I can't consider them the "fittest". They have notable gymnastics and weightlifting skills but, I think' decathletes are much better.

[@leonidas317spartans]

smash them with what, your fat

[@metcontrailrunner8988]

They had events before this. Watch the whole games and decide if you can beat them? IF your so good, try out for the open and see if you even get in the top 10K people in your region.

[@charleshaliburton9209]

Metcon Trailrunner Thanks for your snooty opinion.

[@MrOpticBlade]

Neal Thefs Better participate in the games then, an easy 300k for the win.

[@Mamun1228]

Hey, have you heard of "MuscLeader" (search on Google)? On their website you will find a useful free video explaining how to start building notable muscles quickly while dropping unwanted fat as well. Kev and plenty other guys experienced good results using this method. Hopefully it helps you too...

[@JDic24]

And i didn't knock the competition it takes a great deal of fortitude and guts, these are all great Athletes, Not because they "Train Crossfit" but because they have Great programming in their own training, so essentially they drink the Kool aid that is Crossfit but chose different flavors.

[@amineaiffa]

Crossfit is just so damn expensive. 140+ a month, god damn. I just been stealing various exercises and doing them at a cheap gym. Probably not the same though :S

[@benklee127]

Think about generally less respected sports(maybe CrossFit?) like diving, gymnastics, Ultimate Frisbee, and Lacrosse. People laugh at these sports without knowing (or even taking the time to consider) the difficulty and complexity of the sport at higher levels. The fact is that all these sports are insanely difficult and competitive. Despite their apparent ignorance, unless we look at all of those aforementioned sports with respect, we are guilty of the same prejudice.

[@xkruulx]

Why are they all just walking to the next workout? wtf.

[@Hhhlll7778]

Well to be more specific,the workouts didnt include rope climbing,but the point still is that many athletes from different sports could compete with these men or women,of course I respect these top crossfitters,but saying they are the "fittest" is just too much

[@christianwright11]

I think CrossFit is a great way to exercise. I think task based exercise is a lot more effective than simply powerlifting or set/rep based workouts. However, I don't buy they are the fittest on Earth. I would have more respect for them if they had more humility. That being said, if there is scientific evidence that a CrossFit athlete is more fit than an olympian or a professional athlete, please show me a link. Until then, the jury is out and they are just marketing themselves as the most fit.

[@jacintoalfa1]

does anybody know the diameter of the rope?

[@antoniofelix1620]

What made a heat got 1.2M views and the very next only 34k?

[@bArraxas]

Pour moi c’est le short noir qui est le plus fort. Il a juste un très mauvais coach qui aurait du lui expliquer qu’il faut soulever le coussin pour réduire énormément les frottements avec le sol. Le short rouge lui a tout compris ou alors a un très coach : il soulève le coussin et se balade sur le terrain !

[@dashippo]

After being around crossfit folks and doing the stuff myself I will say i was less than impressed with the number of people who refuse to run...at all . Obviously the games folks don't have a problem with it though, might just be the group I'm exposed to

[@Hhhlll7778]

No need for a real athlete to compete in crossfit,even some bodybuilders have completed wods in almost same times as these top crossfitters,goes to show how"elite" they really are

[@JDic24]

My second point is your logic is completely flawed.

[@RCPlanes59]

This was my favorite of the Games.

[@JDic24]

Yes i understand your perspective, i didn't comment to put down Crossfit. I actually like it myself,i' have a similar training philosophy.

[@cshackattack]

than why don't they, if they could win this and walk away with the gold "with ease"

[@alanholden6334]

I painted my walls magnolia last night very interesting compared to this shite

[@Luisventuralaw]

Respectfully, is this any different than claiming a team that wins the "world" series is the "world" champ? It is not as if the team was in competition with all baseball teams in the world. It is the champion among MLB teams, all of which are American except for two Canadian teams. By contrast, CF games start with a true worldwide open. If you can beat ALL possible competitors at the difficult CF exercises, the title "fittest man/woman on earth" is a fair description of your achievement.

[@maggot1111666]

Those guys seemed way too dead after a 300.

💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌✊✊✌

[@FNM312]

whats up with the dubstep hell yea lol this sht gets me pumped

[@marvt-siji9125]

This is BRUTAL!!!

[@Luisventuralaw]

I guess I should answer your question directly: Yes. In the South Bay Family YMCA program in I was in in southern San Diego, the "Team Weight Loss Challenge" consisted of six week programs of varied fitness: running, sprinting, kettle bells, circuits on the machines, push ups, etc. It was great, and it credit it for opening the door to desire for greater fitness which led me to CrossFit.

[@LucasFernandes-jc4nv]

Insane. What is the song in the 11 m of the video?

[@LordHannigan]

That looked brutal and I am sure it was worse than it looked.
