Powerlifting doesnt develop you to an overall athlete, it develops you to a max lifter. Crossfit ofc develops you to an overall athlete that has to be able to do everything. You're basically comparing two different sports that have two different goals.

[@rotanux]

Actually I think it's the opposite

[@ImortalPvP]

Deadlifts in ep 1?

[@slsthewriter1299]

No...not really. Take horses for example (this translates to humans as well). American Quarter Horses are the sprinters, and Thoroughbreds are fast, but they are more cardio. Quarter horses are stouter and thoroughbreds are those with long legs. And they did with the jump. They subtract from how far you can reach. The reason why Maddie wasn't as fast wasn't because she was shorter, it was because she's a powerlifter and her own thighs got in the way. This was also why Dana wasn't as fast either. You can tell from how they run, they almost hobble. Still faster than a lot of people, just not faster than the leaner two. Mattie won overall because of her diverse background and she looks more agile. The only thing I think longer legs lends itself to is being more graceful and fluid.

[@slsthewriter1299]

@ensayofr What do you mean by "do it"?

[@parismadeleine]

Actually body building is more geared toward shorter people cause there muscles are shorter thus it grows out not lengthwise! Take the Olympia for instance all of the guys are usually shorter than 6’ usually in the 5’5” to 5’10” range

What use is a strongman, they can barely walk let alone run

[@DasGonz13]

@@toomuch9762 Thor use to be a basketball player before he got into strongman. His athleticism is why he is successful at strongman.

[@toomuch9762]

Das Gonz you literally have no no idea what your talking about. Stick to your ladyfit or CrossFit sorry

[@BarefootPrudencePursuer]

too much You have clearly never done any strongman events. Conditioning is a huge part of being successful. Snack on, brother...

[@joybarber2430]

That tiny woman didn't have a fair shot lol

[@monstert5258]

Thats what im saying! She hardly had a fair shot comparative. Even in actually running if you run a slower time your in a different race of competitors for the same distance. And the only thing that was fair was the first one where they measured to the individual height. But besides rhat it wasnt compared to her height so she started at a disadvantage

[@shuepsx652]

She had an advantage on the first round

[@lamoskgr]

Exactly. She jumped way further than the rest 😞😞

[@SPM_SS]

She had the best ass though

[@illuminatedmoonlight]

Yup the actual legs are shorter lol. Can’t grow height!

[@carosamchwa3081]

Props to the cameraman who sprinted alongside the ladies

[@Turtledoves]

I really enjoy watching this series while I’m on the elliptical. Helps it go by faster as well as gives me extra motivation. I also relate with DLB, she made a new fan here lol

[@LinetteArroyo]

My husband and I have been watching these together, but he’s not here right now. I couldn’t wait! 😏

[@DeeFitnessLifeBze]

Same as me. We statrted last week when it came in my reccomened. I subcmstibe right away and then got inspired by Brooke Ence. I fo CrossHIIT

[@TheAumi]

SAME!

[@sianaLW]

SAME😂

[@LinetteArroyo]

starfish life Yes! CrossFit technically is a lot of this: Olympic lifting, power lifting, running, swimming, gymnastics, HIIT, etc. I think that’s why she’ll win. 😌

[@jtorres334]

Lol Same 😂

They needed cleats for that turf. They were sliding around a bunch during the 5-10-5 drill.

[@rainbowsam2335]

I love how they're all helping each other and giving tips even though they're competing against each other

[@915070152]

Oh my gosh, im in love with dana linn.

[@prityblusafyr]

Props to the camera guy keeping up with them sprinting. Also, go Brooke!

[@rubenmultiking]

I love this series! Please find more athletes to do this with! Males or females they're both so much fun to watch.

[@momochan15]

better than mukbangs and kardashians. i'm subbing! 😍

[@NFS305]

Love these ladies. Mattie is wife material. Maddy is best friend. DLB is like training partner/drinking buddy. Brooke is coach/competition.

[@bottle6969]

Perfectly summed up

[@kevmoful]

Brooke is the crazy ex

[@harrymc523]

Brute makes a competition to see what sport delivers the most rounded athlete. Crossfitter wins and everyones suprised. Being rounded is litterally the point of crossfit!

[@jeffking1406]

The reason everyone is surprised is because so many local boxes are just poorly run. I hope they can figure out a way to improve the level of training at that lower level.

Jack of all trades master of none. All this comp is about is accumulation of points.

Well last time the olympic lifter one, but he was an actual, official olympian, so he was a world-class athlete.

Lol Mattie Rogers got me dying

[@samanthavorster533]

I so wanna hang out with DLB! She seems so awesome.

[@peteyd80]

I'm most amazed by Mattie's 31 inch vertical. That's very good, especially for a weightlifting woman. It's better than many volleyball playing women.

[@meridzs]

damn maddy's just getting murdered in these 😭

[@MellonVegan]

Feels like she has just no innate athletic ability. Or maybe she just hasn't done any of these things ever and the other girls have. But with every one of these tests so far, it looks like she just doesn't know what to do with her body, at all. Not to take anything away from her as an accomplished powerlifter or her great personality. Just saying she looks like a fish out of the water, the entire time ^^

[@leebauer2750]

Its funny because powerlifters always say bodybuilding is impractical. "Atleast powerlifting is useful. Bodybuilding just makes you look good." Lmfao

[@leebauer2750]

I am pretty sure the powerlifters ended up last in both the male and female competition lmao.

[@LucasKoe790]

@@MellonVegan Bro have you seen the length of her legs lmao she's built like a fucking lord of the rings dwarf how is she gonna outsprint people

[@MellonVegan]

@@LucasKoe790 Yeah, I know. But apart from that, take her jumps, for example. She just hopped, looking like she's not jumped once in her life.

[@jasminesmith8474]

It just goes to show that Olympic lifting gives you EXTREME power, but CrossFit makes you versatile and an overall athlete.💪🏽 I love Mattie’s personality, but I’m rooting for my girl Brooke! Side note: DLB is hilarious

[@TheShadowBee]

Brooke also did every sport under the sun, even before CrossFit. Including softball and bodybuilding I think.

[@Wikkedfit]

Oh 🥺 precious little Maddie! She has so much heart 😭

[@trexxy9628]

This is the definition of confidence and strength. Not just the physicality but their whole demeanor. Confidence is kindness
