Hopefully this will be my sister and I when we are older. Not talking about the CrossFit, but how they act and talk about each other. Gives me good vibes :)

[@laurentien00]

Ahhh, Montreal with beautiful girls drinking nice coffees on terraces. Some of the best cafes in the world (and I have been around), the girls are so nice and smile easily and dress so nicely, they enjoy life, missing it a lot, so lively but so peaceful as well, everywhere you can walk and find nice places.

[@antiwian9185]

I really liked Michele, and now there are two of them :)

[@MrMagoo2011b]

Best CF video I've seen so far.

[@kawasakininja13]

What an incredible athlete!

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Great Video!!!!

[@siriuslysaucy422]

You two are awesome! Good luck :)

[@jagroopliddar6965]

She's a beast

[@navsquid32]

She reminds me of Starbuck from the new Battlestar Galactica.

[@stephenr85]

This is mostly true, but just want to clarify that Paleo is about food quality, not food quantity. The Zone diet, also espoused by many crossfitters, handles the quantity aspect. If you eat almond butter, dates and ribeye all the time, you'll get yourself some serious calories.

[@mr-shady]

Thanks.

[@sweatersinjune]

what a sweet disposition she has.

[@CollinHasMRSA911]

Anyone else think it was awesome when they said AWE at the same time LAWL!!!

[@ariannakrulyac5385]

Her tattoo though (thumbs up emoji)

[@LivingWithLina]

Liked watching your video

[@fuckthisworkbitch]

yeah I'd watch her too

[@jamieharris327]

Good answer!

[@PatCFLabat]

MICHELE ESTII WOOHOOO!!!!

[@MCote123]

Is that "Beast Mode" tank top at 1:47 from Chris Jones' line of clothing? Not trolling; it's an actual question.

[@mbrols]

Games level athletes are elite in their sport...what this usually entails is a long (childhood and up) athletic background. What that means is years (in most sports) of strength and conditioning training. "Regular" crossfitters, by which I mean the majority of folks that just started, may not have such a background and thus are just building their bodies. Further, elite level athletes inherently have to be strong...being big is part of the game (for most people).

[@mbeezy94]

Was that 315?

[@malawri6710]

Both of theme sooooo cute and strong.I love em.

[@edwardkim2246]

Are they lovers or twins. This was 10 minutes of complimenting each other

[@williamhufnagel8790]

Why be so negative??? Just typical twins...

[@laurentien00]

Michele, tu es tellement cool et jolie avec des bras tres muscles. Incroyable et bravo.

[@TheMaza2010]

i now have a crush on Erika :)

[@ello34]

[@marconico]

Lmao

[@JakeDeArmas]

Better Off Alone by Alice DJ, but there's plenty of remixes.

[@andycollard2278]

They have Steve-O's face

[@killythebid152]

Andy Collard Lmao...i cant un-see that now. Thx jerk

[@MohdAminudin]

Both of them sooo cute

[@CrossfitFan125]

She's stunning

[@JeanPhilippeTherrien]

MIchèle FTW!

[@RyanVirden]

hell yeah water polo fuckin rocks

[@djnisti]

fuck yeah

[@inZaneGRIZ]

anyone notice that every thing is a question? like everything she says has so much emphasis at the end?

[@mr-shady]

How could you say that? You are breaking my heart...

[@CoolStoryBroWhoCares]

Lol they look like Maggie from the walking dead

[@wvjon75]

CoolStoryBroWhoCares Except Maggie is WAY hotter!

[@CrossfitFan125]

she's my crush for sure!

[@moveless]

Lol never stop fighting that aesthetic fight.

[@iancable2863]

Olimpico!

[@gymbuggy1218]

WE SPELL OUR NAMES THE SAME

[@p3nguinish]

wow her arms!

[@Zoe23stl]

Définitivement mon vidéo préférer de Michèle

[@moveless]

But whenever someone insinuates this the whole community freaks out. It's quite naïve to ignore the disparity between the average crossfitter and the elite; regardless of the free time you have, 4-6 workouts a day is crazy for someone to do time and time again. I must repeat, however, that I am NOT BASHING CF. Everyone gets up in arms when this comes up. I think it's fantastic for people to get back into shape again, find a passion. As a weightlifter I use CF-style metcons to keep conditioning.

[@dean18x]

She has a twin sister! Yes!

[@hamzatanvir1239]

shes jacked man!! impressive

[@sgonged]

POG shirt?

[@TaskerFilms]

twins......i dig it

[@Stephenwwkay]

Twinsies!

[@stephan984]

maybe cause they lift like 2x of an average crossfitter? cause they're lifestyle is based on training so they train/eat/recovery in a way that other people don't do?

[@gerardolopez9368]

hotttt in here

[@hornyboy21ify]

cute af

[@manbeastanimal]

fn jacked!

[@caderoberts5701]

what do I gotta do to get Erica"s number. lol

[@spikesmw]

David Guetta ft Ne-Yo, Akon - Play Hard

[@MrChompenstein]

It's not crossfit, it's all types of exercise Rich Froning Jr. has won the Games 3 times, and came in 2nd the year before . . .this means he has been training consistently for at least 4 years, before that he did bodybuilding and college sports. Most "athletes" have a background in being athletic, what sets them apart from regular people is that they have spent YEARS developing. Most people want a "6 pack in 6 days" or "muscle made easy," Rich and others abandoned that thinking a long time ago.

[@mordulencia]

от это руки!!!!

[@chraw1983]

her twin has nice tattoos

[@gunlover94]

i wish i had a twin

[@JakeDeArmas]

There's a massive difference between professional crossfit and mainstream crossfit. Certification for teaching can be acquired in a weekend, so many coaches are inexperienced at one of the small gyms that persist everywhere. Then you have the really experienced athletes, like Rich Froning, who know their stuff. Also, a lot of mainstream crossfit athletes are on a paleo diet, which sometimes isn't as sustaining as a high-calorie diet.

[@IllmaticPower]

Gear

[@KellyAnnFolly]

I wouldn't say thats true, the crossfits I have been to no one looks like they are starving- they look rather healthy, while the majority of them may not look jacked but they look great. Perhaps what you see is the result of overtraining, ill training, or ill nutrition. In my experience, however, all the coaches care enough to make sure that doesn't happen and the people I have seen are all healthy and make great strength gains.

[@odnalro40]

I could watch them all day, they are too hot!!!!

[@geo9995]

Time to grab the lotion brb

[@mr-shady]

Well as long as those two guys are there I guess it's cool. By the way I know how uncomfortable working out can feel with bouncing parts. No underwear only shorts really makes things harder.

[@sportyspikeypk1]

DECA crossfit???

[@rutatutut]

Jooced.

[@Vraibass6rap]

checkout Camille B - u won't regret it

[@moveless]

There's no doubt that plenty of higher level athletes are on steroids. Strangely people act like saying that means that they are cheating losers. No. However, people not drinking the Kool-Aid (in other areas of fitness) can see that some of the elite juice. They have the mass of bodybuilders who were caught on small stuff. They often eat shit food and stay crazy lean. They perform 1-3 "Olympic" weightlifting movements a day and outlift plenty of 7+ hour or longer sessions a week weightlifters.

[@mr-shady]

I assume that pro crossfiters consume much more calories also a lot more protein.

[@TheThrillll]

Roids... Roids.... Roids..

[@Aliasify]

You don't understand, among a great many things I'm sure, how 'roids work do you?

[@TheThrillll]

Aliasify

[@wolf2109]

And Canadians say they dnt have an accent ??? lolz

[@sakshigosain238]

they're french canadians...

[@sheilarayvaughan20]

why be strong if you can't fight.v

[@wolf2109]

cuz white folks like to wrestle when they fight..never throw punches haha

[@Reaper46G]

so she has a bf but does the twin? haha

[@Dicky452]

your sister got a boyfriend?

[@SLFKimosabae]

Is that 315lbs??? It can't be...

[@cheeseburns11]

Babes.

[@himelodykek]

steroids :)

[@christinacampbell609]

Their bodies don't even look feminine anymore...

[@TonyCox1351]

It must be rad to care what other people think about your body. Tell me more

[@lillsterxo]

Nickolai Siegfried They might as well have a penis.

[@TonyCox1351]

Even more depressing that the original comment was made by a woman, about another woman, because she doesnt fit her definition of beauty

[@caliorulz]

Too big. They say strong is the new sexy. I agree completely but to a certain extent. I like a girl that's bit really skinny but that has a bit of muscle. But these guys are not just big for a girl they are big even for a guy.disgucsting

[@AyOopLad]

When crossfit girls gettoo big and get fat chunky legs its horrible, not sexy at all.

[@p3nguinish]

wow her arms!
