Crossfit 101 - The Basics

[@sharonsokol2058]

I'm a 73 year old female Crossfitter and I'm addicted. It's so much fun ! I scale many of the WODs but I've learned to jump rope again & I'm lifting weights for the first time in my life. The coaches really watch out for me and make sure I'm lifting with the correct form. I'm proud to be at the J H Box. 🏋️‍♀️

[@coachmrfoster]

I understand that not everyone has prefect form 100% of the time but when you're trying to teach people please have perfect form. It's one thing when you're in your last few minutes of a 20 minute AMRAP, it's another when you cant demonstrate proper rack position on a front squat with 20kg. This hurts my eyes.. and ears. This is why people bash crossfit. Please read (or re-read) the crossfit training guide. Midline stability/neutral spine, posterior chain engagement, core to extremity, frontal plane, active shoulders... I love what he says while she tries to med ball clean..."as you can see the logo is forward the whole time so she doesn't curl the ball" *she curls the ball*

[@jestertheslacker]

Look here everyone! We have an expert among us. Please throw more jargon at us so that everyone can be absolutely sure that you know about crossfit.

[@DanTejedaFit]

Jester The Slacker he's right though...

[@Nastypeon]

I stopped watching the vid and started reading comments at that point. I'm glad you pointed it out.

[@kiarakiller]

I was thinking the same, thank you. A teaching video has to show perfect positions. For example, I think the back’s position in squats is not correct…

[@sonicmoj1]

@@jestertheslacker Look here everyone just because this Jester dude cannot comprehend second grade English, he'll just try to throw things at the wall and see if it sticks.

[@marilynarellanes3010]

I can do this wod at a regular gym. SWEET! Gyms don't allow us to do wall balls but the medicine ball clean is a perfect sub. Thanks!

[@bethefrem902]

Simple and go the point, thank you!! I’m brand new to CrossFit and this has been helpful.

[@kimberlynoble7476]

This is such a GREAT video. I just went through 10 foundation classes and want to do Crossfit at home. Excited to do this when I get home tonight!!! Thanks.

tried today for the first time ever trying to do cross fit at all it was more efective than what I usually do I am gonna keep doing this until I lose another 40 pounds thanks for posting

[@esmeraldafranco6486]

shickchick26 it works i lost 2% fat and gain 2% muscle and went down 2 sizes in 4 weeks. Would have lost more if i ate better. Also include some running or biking between reps and a rest time. Then repeat with less reps and less running so you dnt exaust yourself. Good luck!

[@erinkennedy6127]

That form though. Just wow.

[@zqxwce92]

her knees during that front squat!

[@jestertheslacker]

Yep. Poor form. She's gonna end up tearing some ligaments.

[@emtpwanabe]

Ok. I thought I was the only one that noticed the instability in her knees.

[@samirsinha584]

Fucking

[@eyoutube1]

Every time I play one of their video I think it's a jewelry infomercial.

[@wadesisk7964]

Her core is not braced on air squat. She is over extened in the lumbar, that's why you see the butt wink at the bottom of the air squat

[@larrycook2289]

Good primer. Excellent form. If you are not ready for a bar yet try it with a broomstick until you get the form down.

[@BDGKruger]

For squats remember the weight on the heel.

[@janty962]

Wow. I never done crossfit before. I wanna try to do crossfit cause im bore of my weight lifting routines every sunday. Wish to see more of crossfit list exercise that work the whole body.

[@porntrip696969]

Everybody on internet are fucking negative... it's crazy. Thumbs up for this girl!! Maybe not perfect but shes not in the couch everyday

[@rickrosler]

It looks to me like the Sumo deadlift High pull would cause interior rotation of the shoulders. Is that not a concern for rotator cuff injuries?

[@foreverfitscience4298]

Wow, amazing video. Just do the exercise is not enough. To get the proper results, it is quite essential to do it in a proper manner. And the video provide wonderful guidance in this regard.

[@brocatorpido765]

Thank you for being clear and simple....

[@shelly5596]

I have never do CrossFit and I’m extremely out of shape and have low endurance. I’ll have to take baby steps to be able to do the complete workout.

[@vinicastellanos8648]

This girl is probably doing the very best of what she knows but she is surely not familiar with crossfit.

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

I have been working out for about 2 months now so I'm still fairly new. However, I'm really concerned about her form. My trainer is always on my ass about form even if my foot turns a little from second toe forward to big toe forward. It is because even a tiny shift like that while picking up a load can be not only painful but can cause injury. I should know because I have lower leg dysfunction and I used to have knee pain from not having proper knee tracking. Since I started working on releases and stretches for that and practicing good form, I've been pain free.

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

Oh trust me I know. Now it's been almost 6 months and I'm down 64 lbs. and have never been stronger. She taught me well and Brent Brookbush has helped out so much.

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

Thank you! It's been an unbelievable journey so far and I can't wait to see how far it will take me.

[@gatekeeper88]

***** can you link or mention what your trainer has you doing for your knee pain?.. I'm in the same boat with tracking issues as well (delayed VMO activation mostly I think)

[@ItsAlreadyRendered]

gatekeeper88 Well she did have me watch some videos by Brent Brookbush right here on KZbin. Specifically his videos for lower leg dysfunction. Depending on if your knees cave in or bow out, you'll want to check out the videos accordingly. Find out which one it is and then watch the videos accordingly. He mentions at the beginning of every video what dysfunction the video will help out with. Hope that helps.

[@gatekeeper88]

***** will do thanks for the info :)

[@VTV-Live]

Lawsuits ahead.

[@michellewhiteley79]

Since it's for beginners, I assume that she is in fact, a beginner. Cut the girl some slack and quit being mean

[@filthymcnastyazz]

it's a demo from beginners on how to do the moves, beginners would not know this shit was wrong and will copy thinking it looks ok. Tutorials pass on something of value not injury

[@jesuslovesyou7130]

Get tough

[@alohacoach8002]

I blame the trainer

[@Naniizar]

That doesn’t mean that we suffer for her. He made the video with a person like this without correcting her in front of the audience (video) to teach form ( like common mistakes blah blah..) not good for people that wanted to repeat this at home. Her hips, her knees.. she needs better cues from the coach. He is not a good instructor. First thing is: measuring the bar so it doesn’t weight more to one side and make you loose the form. “”Cue

[@nikiss8]

What you are referring to is hipsters or cool or rich peeps, always trying something 'new' the latest and greatest outfits, classes, restaurants, clubs... Whatever you do if there is intensity it is crossfit, kicking pullups, chest to bar, knees on the floor and still trying to do a push up, but mostly being part of a community and helping others to be better by first improving yourself and then others. Bodybuilding, essentially you eat, steroids, lift and pose in super small panties...

[@Ilovepineapple]

Her form on deadlift hurt my back 😵‍💫

[@nenabishop4482]

Thank you, I just got into CrossFit

[@RonVik7]

Her left knee ok moving inward during squat, which indicates on tight hip flexors and weak glutes.

[@moroccangrl2006]

Yes. Her knees with those squats 😳

[@alohacoach8002]

I blame the trainer

[@squirrel3443]

You can tell she’s never lifted, she’s a treadmill bunny trying to look cute

[@LuminousLifting]

BambiJesus If she was a treadmill bunny she would look more scrawny or skinny-fat. She definitely does some form of strength, she doesn’t look weak. Most likely she just casually works out and isn’t used to crossfit exercises

[@yeatts134]

Yeah her front squat was terrible. I'm glad my box owner coach didn't just get a weekend class to teach us cap like your trying to. He has almost 20 years of coaching. That's what sets crossfit boxes apart is real coaches vs. (90%) people looking to make some money on crossfit while it's the hottest thing. It's sad you don't correct her on camera. Do you correct your members? Probably not since you just want their money. I pay my box little over 100 a month and my coach gets in my face if my form is lacking but I'm better because of it. This ain't planet fitness.

[@sofianieves7545]

I did the same

[@Naniizar]

1:45 and I was like: ok, let me read the comments, I can’t be the only one haha

[@metalmessenger]

from all the videos i've seen i came to a conclusion. Dont do it alone, you will use poor form and hurt yourself.

[@alfredofloyd]

technique is just technique, doesn't mean if you dont use it you will hurt yourself, maybe you will use another group of muscles but nothing more. Unless you feel pain everytime you do an excersice youll be fine

[@ChristianAaron832]

just dont do it do a proper exercise not gayxercise

[@allisonavery7273]

I thought her squats looked to be in good form

[@djjeff1727]

I'm in good shape and workout regularly, and I've observed that CrossFit seems to develop more bulky, or compact muscle, rather than long, lean muscle... More like a gymnast, less like a swimmer. Can any one with experience comment on that?

[@raphaelkoch1573]

I've noticed that on crossfit women but not men so much.

[@yanglinluo]

Just my 2 cents, her forms tell me that she has not got loads of experience but she’s learning so it’s ok, but it’s not okay when he says “good” when she performs those poor push jerks, seriously, her bar isn’t even on her shoulder. CrossFit can be a great fitness tool but u don’t have to go to a box, not all CrossFit coaches are good I’m afraid so make sure you know the techniques. I personally learn Olympic lifting from Mattie Rogers, Tian Tao, Liu xiaojun

[@whitme100]

I liked his instruction.

[@rxkingd]

Crossfit 101. 1. Have bad form. 2.Act better than everyone. 3 Curl in the Squat Rack 4. Kip the fuck out of your pull-ups. Remember, momentum is more important than form. 5. House music. You are now ready to be in the crossfit games.

[@zohaibhameed6195]

I don't see what the big deal is. In my opinion the Stronglifts 5x5 would be just as effective

[@EvanderSmart]

0:12 I ain't got shit like that, so can I go now?

[@garygary4833]

+Armed Society is it $200 on average for all crossfits? now i see what its mostly europeans, a way to deter the dirty minorities. Guess i'll be forking out $200 to be part of a cult. But i'd probably make a bad crossfitter, cause I'd be telling the coach... "Umm this is bad posture, every single exercise, in fact the entire concept of crossfit is a recipe for injury".... The idea that speed is more important than technique baffles me.

[@minority86]

+Gary Gary There's a crossfit club at my school and u get a discount where u pay 100$ for the full semester otherwise too much money

[@HagakureJunkie]

+Bitcoin Video University You can do what I did and buy the equipment yourself then take a couple classes to learn the basics properly, quit and go off and do it yourself.

[@esmeraldafranco6486]

James O'Phelan exactly im doing crossfit and once i get better im buying the equipment it would be cheaper than taking 3 classes per week.

Everything was fairly solid except she wasn’t deadlifting she was squatting the weight.

here's something someone told me once.1-take a 19 20 liter water bottle fill it up .2-tape up your wrists ,knees,and ankles.3-pick the bottle up from the sides like you'd lift a baby/little child and Squat-press and dead lift-press till ur heart's content. This should pretty much make up for all the ten.

[@jrangel75]

Nice basic skill lessons. Only critique is to have the model perform cleaner moves. Her push jerks were incomplete. No full extension and lock out at the top before she lets the barbell down. I would have no-repped all 10 reps. Her med ball cleans are also shaky.

I've only seen the video up to the front squat portion and the elbows are way too low. Please fix it.
