Ben Smith: Workout for Feb. 23, 2016

[@tylerwilloughby2833]

It'd be great to get the voice over commentary from the athlete like the Dan Bailey vid. Gotta love Ben Smith! It'd be awesome to see some in depth videos on him like the one's on Rich!

[@kuenwaiho2948]

Froning posted something similar recently but dumbbell snatch is 100 and bench is 225 ! Ben did the above workout on Oct 2015, assuming he continue to improve his form and strength. i am quite sure he can handle heavier load. it is going to be an amazing match up for the two men in 16.5! can't wait !!!

[@NapervilleRealEstate]

Ben Smith is a beast. Awesome video!

[@matt.marcella2113]

i almost died watching him bounce the barbell off his chest on bench

[@michaelemond8737]

Tried this WOD yesterday 19:47 60lb DB 175 bench MU RX

[@GeorgeLazarFitness]

[@reivajana]

He's a strong and awesome wheen training!!!!

[@benborgert8813]

[@pierrotmonami9506]

i love the use of saturated guitars, which is too rare in those wod videos

[@RainiervanSlingerlandt]

Inspiring to watch, thanks.

[@Ofunes96]

Everything was perfect except for those sternum snaps.

[@michaelspangenberg7108]

Alec Smith is such an excellent mover during those BMUs (I guess it's the gymnastics Background, though*g*) :) Go Alec!!!

[@johnnyanthony5072]

Always that one person who comments with something negative.

[@Theblasterpy]

i need the music playlist from thsi video!

[@taedarkness]

Wow, you did good and who know about song list in this video?

[@birds-flying-high]

Nice work done here except for the two songs at the same time. Just give us the original sound next time.

[@ARedFiretruck]

I agree with the bench press comments. I understand bouncing it a bit but this is definitely excessive. You want to control the weight on the way down, too. not just let it fall on your chest. he's still getting a good chest workout but he could be getting more out of it

[@emiliomx76]

Is not dangerous down the barbell too agressive to chest? (not hate just asking)

[@emmanuelromero7698]

Si, la barra enrealidad no tendria que tocar el pecho la forma correcta de hacerlo es dejarla a unos 2 o 3 cm. Aparte de amortiguar el golpe y posibilidad de que se rompa el esternon es poca, pero tu pecho en ese segundo descansa y no mantiene la tension.

[@loganjenkins69]

Any word on the 2015 games documentary?

[@patrickpiazza5482]

+loganjenkins69 other than the fact that it's taking them waaaaaaay to long to make LOL...nah

[@keithfine8020]

Bench press in the games !

[@talhatufekci2629]

anybody there who knows the two songs in this vid?

[@delunadenny7084]

Do whatever the f you guys want. You can break a rib in any sport. Hate ppl sounding so concerned like if you really cared, you prob don't even know who this guy is.

[@Matejko]

Anybody know the weight of those weights?

[@fitdoc565]

80 lbs for dumbbell snatch and 205 for bench press. Bodyweight for muscle ups ;)

[@Matejko]

Sweeeeeet.. :-)

[@AnthonyPilcher]

I think I just figured out the premise behind crossfit. So... you have all of these people that work desk jobs, right. They do the same thing day in and day out, because society tells them they have to, and eventually it drives them crazy. So naturally, they need an outlet where they can actually be a crazy person for a little while each day. Then one day, some guy couldn't take it anymore, so he went to the gym and just acted crazy; let out all of his pent up rage, forget all gym educate, did everything that could ruin his joints and body as a whole, and then someone came up to him and was like, "dude, are you crazy?" And he was like, 'oh shit, this guy is on to me. I need to come up with some like yesterday "No... it's uh-" And that's when he saw the other guy was wearing a crucifix so he just said "Cross... fit. Crossfit." And the other guy was like "Cool. Can I be next?" And then Crossfit was a thing. And then you find out later that they were both the same guy.

[@probitionate]

+Anthony Pilcher LOL. Actually, CrossFit has its roots in the fitness fad (for the average Joe it was, anyway) 'cross-training' of the 70s and 80s. Back then it was heretical to train in any other mode than your sport. (I'm not talking about everyone doing weights and track work)

[@deejayphaiffer]

+Anthony Pilcher Just one thing to say: Military Training, if you can't do its ok, but come in the box and we show how funny and works this sport

[@Douglas-oo5zd]

+Anthony Pilcher I chuckled....boy you are bad at trolling. that was horrible

[@stayedleopard4]

+Serron Roberts I didn't even smile, that was lame af

[@airplane3359]

I'm a plumber and i like crossfit. and it's the least craziest thing I do. just good exercise.

[@originaljungle]

rich would have crushed this

[@NielsHarsloef1]

Is it online to watch?

[@trackerdon91]

Looks like 185 or 225 for the bench?!

[@Engman78]

It said 205 at the start of the vid.

[@simonsantiago7316]

he reminds me of rich but weaker

[@quentin7343]

+Simon Santiago hahaha best comment i red for a while

[@TheSamuelDarby]

RIP ribcage

[@lopu11]

FINALLY :D

[@sportkiwi]

oh i thought it was going to be the rugby ben smith. havent heard of this dude

[@ayoubyout]

is that the proper tech !

[@PatCFLabat]

We never bench in Crossfit. Crossfit makes us lose gains. #Lel

[@Bromnax]

Ya that's why I follow powerlifting guys like Layne Norton and Mark Bell to supplement my crossfit. I've noticed it help a lot with the powerlifting moves.

[@stayedleopard4]

Especially because crossfit athletes are so buff lol

[@nanorobledo8786]

man he has really a nice well done body, something that we can all actually archive, not stereoids...

[@christopherdesmarchais9971]

My guess is there are a lot of people out there who could be him at this workout...mostly on bench

[@nruss9912]

Trampoline crossfit bench press

[@simonsantiago7316]

sorry I put he but it's Ben smith

[@jserrurier]

something tells me those people who are complaining about his bench press form have never actually done a bench press.

[@mario2455]

agreed

[@TheSourcingSamurai]

got it

[@timslap9623]

according to 17.1 standards those Db snatches don't count because he put his other hand on his leg during the movement.

[@bshef3424]

....garanimal....

[@owengilbert2564]

He's a crossfiter not a bodybuilder ...you guys do the wod and let us know how yoy go ..see if you even come CLOSE to what he does..spitting trash

[@jbx1310]

Exactly i don't know why people knock crossfit so much. You get a hell of a workout doing alot of these WODs

[@ejhein1495]

Meathead Monday

[@nickmorris9311]

damn. no more guitar riffs. just leave whatever is playing in the gym please.

[@mthalmann2]

that's some terrible ass form on the bench.
