That intro was killer 😂 production value is going up now that youve committed, love to see it

[@54c]

Love how Zack started out commenting on form and technical points, but towards the end he was just enjoying the show and being a fan

[@carl0sTribuna]

Malheiros said in a interview that is weigthlifting coach, is the same guy that coaches the Brazilian weigthlifting team. Looked like he could keep on going for a few more rounds. Great video :)

[@maaack13]

this true

[@arimoya8642]

Fernando reís is an amazing weightlifter so I believe it

[@kenmei18]

my brazilian friend said his dad also owns a gym of some sort, possibly an oly one.

[@kblkbl]

@@kenmei18 no he doesn't, his dad is into some hypnotism coaching bullshit. lol

[@theparadisesnare]

Makes all the difference too. Most crossfitters learn to oly lift from other crossfitters lol

[@wchang3k]

Got to love how ZT reviews snatch techniques and then pivots into mullet philosophy

[@16rmcf]

Gudmundsson and Houdet used to have the same weightlifting coach, its not a coincidence they both have really solid technique.

[@TeamRICHEY]

Really digging the t shirt

[@summerdays5900]

@TeamRICHEY get that review on your 131 kg snatch. Would be sick content.

[@LukeTheobald]

Wow, my KZbin subscriptions are colliding.

[@justinrose7394]

collab of the cench

[@CHMR7505]

Hi Craig 👋👋

[@justinching-johnson5460]

Where's the shirt from?

[@stephenr85]

Love the respect for the sport. And that you called out the announcer, Chase, on head position...dude talks and talks and talks and a good percentage of it is nonsense.

[@usmanfarooq96]

thats all of the crossfit announcers, they just talk to fill the silence, tommy marquez is probably the only one who talks any sense

[@brettsnyder5858]

@@usmanfarooq96 agreed. tommy is the best. chase ingram is constantly talking BS.

[@matthewblas93]

Chase is ass

[@stephenr85]

I like Tommy, and I think Shawn Woodland does a good job and stays in his lane. I don't remember if Pat Sherwood said stupid stuff, but I kinda miss him. Chase has se valuable insight but tries to fill all the dead air and ends up saying stuff like, "It takes energy to stand." ...yeah. It takes energy to talk. Save your energy.

[@brettsnyder5858]

@@stephenr85 ya i was thinking about this more today and i think you are right. he does a good job for the large majority of ppl watching who wouldnt know the difference of what he says. but sometimes he just talks a bit too much. i dont think pat ever commentated live events? i thought he was always in the post recap type stuff. and sean is the best.

[@jdfleblanc]

This was one my favorites of your videos. Great commentary. Best line “That mullet is a performance enhancing drug.” Love it.

[@MathiasD4hL]

André Houdet is from Denmark and did a fantastic job at the Games this year

[@usmanfarooq96]

Gui has such fluid and aesthetically pleasing movement. Would've loved to see him max out

[@maaack13]

he’s done 145kg/320lbs before.

[@rafaruffy]

He’s got 150 in training already.

[@yaboijosh2645]

Hot damn!

[@Veinti1599]

"that's a performance enhancing drug! That mullet!" I'm so dead 😂😂

[@grantcallaghan3277]

loved that comment, Zack. lol!!

[@ProductionArtVideo]

Scott Panchik was competing all weekend with an injured meniscus. It's pretty crazy he was able to both finish the Games and hit those lifts.

[@bielgoodtime]

When you said “isso” I lost it 😂 It means “that’s it” or something like “yeah” in portuguese

[@simonsilva250]

Damn it I was literally about to write haha you beat me to it

[@bprcarvalho]

@@simonsilva250 cheguei atrasado também hahahaha

[@rgaylemich2244]

Really appreciate listening to your commentary on all the Games lifting events. Super cool that you are so respectful about CF athletes yet still honest about everyone’s technique. Any chance you would ever go watch the Games live? I know there is a pretty large CF community that follows you and would love to meet you.

[@rossnavarro2591]

Hey great to run across one of your videos on my suggested viewing! Been a while since I trained with you at Texas A&M rugby and pumped to see your channel doing so well. About to share this with the rest of the boys!

[@ceejgaoat2738]

Its crazy how he actually remembers the athletes names and their attributes

[@rutatutut]

Damn that's some nice green screen technique! I did love staring at the blinds on your door in the past, but I'll adjust to the new format. Excellent breakdown. Production value is making sick gainz!

[@liagiu]

23:05 this part!! the whole “keep your head up/he’s looking down” thing drives me insane and OF COURSE they had to say that about literally the man who’s got such a solid and gorgeous head position in his catch 😭😭😭

[@RocketSauce666]

That's Chase Ingraham for you!

[@MKGPerformance]

Yo coach Z can you please do a video about different body types for weightlifting and how lifters optimise their form for their anatomy? Thanks for all the weightlifting content btw

[@soyauby]

LOVED watching this, Houdet really impressed me in that event, I really never saw him in prior events and I was like who dat?! Gui is a gifter lifter for sure, Fikowski is great too!

[@felipecoelho33]

Zack, I bet my pants you'll be coaching a Crossfit athlete very soon. I think you're dragging a lot of attention from the Crossfit community with these awesome reviews, hence Craig Richey is commenting on this video.

[@Cower03]

Super fun to watch you break down the CrossFit lifts!! It's very interesting to listen to the tweaks in techniques you recommend as the person is coming off heavy lifts. All around awesome content, mad respect for all that you do. Long time subscriber here, keep doing a good job man!

[@MatheusHoscheidt]

"you gotta get in arguments with your little sister" wtf dude lol. love your content! Cheers from Brazi..

[@soyauby]

HAHA I know

[@usmanfarooq96]

*Breaking: Justin Medeiros has had his Gold medal revoked after testing positive for "Mullet"*

[@thelordfosk]

I just started running a hundred mgs of Mullet last week and my numbers are up like crazy. The effects are real.

[@clap5]

This years games was pretty awesome. It was a fight to the top for the men side. Unlike that past few years where Fraser wins almost every event and everyone else is just competing for 2nd place.

[@sjhiggy98]

Big CrossFit fan (have been going to a CrossFit gym for 4 years) I really enjoy the honest review and it’s exciting to try and add your critiques into what I work on. And finally somebody points out that the announcers are just talking to talk. Great video!

[@dillondavis398]

I really appreciate the attention to technique and your honesty, friend! Helps me as a coach and a lifter! Also it's super engaging. Keep it up!

[@calebross3790]

Finally someone qualified to speak on technique. I’m hearing good feedback, not “he’s not looking for his eyes” 🤨

[@kiffe22]

23:13 Thank you for calling out Chase Ingraham. This dude has a ridiculous track record of talking nonsense and advising the exact opposite of good technique/strategy. There was a 550 yard sprint event and every heat he would go on about how it was not a good idea to go all in from the start and how you should pace yourself and maybe fall back a little bit.

[@lw8882]

So glad this was the first video of actual crossfit that I watched. Now I know that it's possible to actually learn good form while being involved with that whole thing. Thanks for giving actual constructive criticism, and praise. Really informative and fun video.

[@jaredcrowley6398]

Dude, as a CFer this was not only super helpful, but such a relief to see you not trashing the sport the whole time. Thanks.

[@theparadisesnare]

You won me over with the mullet monologue. Subcribed! Also, CrossFit announcers actually have close to no idea what they’re ever talking about

[@jkrolling4821]

Dude the transition to your intro is so nice

[@usmanfarooq96]

Shame to see fikowski out so early, he definitely looked like he had 300+ in him

[@YourFitnessQuest]

Great video. I am not a lifter but enjoy your insights and calling a spade a spade without needless hating on Crossfit like so many others do. Your commentary is informative, funny, and entertaining.

[@annametcalf9627]

I appreciate the new screen, makes a real difference :) keep it up!

[@nibpicky]

This is the funniest ZackT video I've watched, and I've watched them all.

[@nickpol1899]

Props to the editor for the intro, that was a banger

[@antemercep8844]

As ex basketball player I worked out with olympic weightlifters. I was lucky that my cousin was one of the better competitors in my country. I worked a lot on technique before trying any serious weight. I can honestly say that olympic training has made me so much better athlete and player. Respect to anyone lifting weights like these

[@reidjohnson3964]

This has perhaps been the most useful video on snatching, on the internet.

[@samscil]

Love the editing 👌

[@xarth9]

These are great. Do the clean and running event please!

[@johngeorge9423]

Enjoyed all the recent cf breakdowns. Thanks!

[@2eme_voltigeur652]

Great evaluations. These athletes should watch this vid, they can learn a thing or two. I started CrossFit 2 years ago but I moved gradually towards more oly over CrossFit training in the week. I love oly! I consider myself a beginner working on 50 kg snatches, my max clean and jerk is 70 kg but I am absolutely confident that when I get my technique better and lift more consistent I can do so much better with my current physique. Keep up the good work, your vids are great.

[@yaboijosh2645]

His mullet rant is so perfect lmao. On point in every way, including the sarcasm XD

[@joshfoster6669]

19:59 "That's a performance enhancing drug" I DIED LOL

[@ivancarli1800]

The Brazilian was amazing.. A pleasure to watch

[@ken71607]

The mullet commentary is pure gold

[@stevennelson2366]

I think it would be really cool to see other weightlifting competitions use this format. There are more areas for drama throughout the competition with the second attempt with time running out and the tiebreaker. One might also say it does a better job of determining the best weightlifter as everyone lifts the same weights. I was there live and it was definitely the highlight of the weekend.

[@sambolooney]

Cool intro man, that transition got me hyped

[@AndyZoepke]

Great tips on technique. Not just ripping into CrossFitters, but actually pointing out what needs to be improved. Please do some technique vidoes that we can use to improve our own form. Really liKe your videos.

[@ShireTown1824]

I tapped the like button about 10 times during this video, love the content

[@micahandpennydodge3154]

I just enjoy that you aren't S%&t talking anyone, just an objective and well measured comment and tips

[@curtisd8162]

Everything you said in this is reassuring bc my coaches have pointed out my same flaws as these guys. Thanks for the content

[@anthonyporter830]

That was a sweet intro with the green screen bro!!!

[@josemzumoza]

Broo¡! you roasting the announcer was the best, I've been saying it for years. That specific guy gets stuff wrong way too often is not even funny anymore. A couple of years ago he said Cody Anderson was not going to be able to finish a heavy clean event. (he crushed it). This year he said Mal OBrien strategy was bad on the Thrusters and wall walks event because she was going unbroken. (she won the event. is so funny dude

[@ridgerunnersp]

That mullet monologue had me rolling

[@wbjackman]

Best description of what a mullet person should be like of all time.

[@amorfati4927]

Great video! The big 3 seem to be consistent as far as faults/proper technique. Lower hips starting, chin through (stack your body and posture) in the catch and move around the bar and you’ll go a long way. Quite a few brutes got a long way but some of those (not simple by any means after your motor patterns have been established a certain way for so long) fixes would dramatically raise their numbers.

[@tjdreyer]

Awesome video, appreciate the tips and also the fairness towards CF guys.

[@RogueCylon]

Another excellent video. I feel there is not enough focus on technique in Crossfit. It’s all about powering through and hitting PRs without looking at bulletproofing the lift. Hence the high amount of injuries.

[@chalked_confused]

I am a masters CrossFit athlete 60 yo with no weightlifting background. I made it to the games this year. My lifting is one of my weakest movements, specifically snatches. do you know a coach here in the Orlando FL area that might want to work with me?

[@JackDan89]

The mullet "rant" earn you my sub! Great knowledge :D

[@arturmattia1]

Man I loved you video! Finally a weightlifter that want to help the crossfit community not just shit on it. Looking forward to your content! (the part about medeiros had me laughing not gonna lie lol)

[@JasonBoring]

You are critical without being a jerk. Nice dude. Very helpful.

[@ukaserex]

I enjoy these reviews. I don't think you need to explain you're being honest...it's clear you're saying what's true from the videos.

[@BernhardKohli]

One of your best videos EVER

[@BoHeroman]

Every pair of Nike’s you see there is the Metcon 7. Wide + flat outsole, lock down laces, and a 7mm drop from heel to toe. I have ditched my Reebok Legacy Lifters and lift in my 7’s only now.

[@Benebazsi]

My only problem with Metcons is that Nike shoes in general are just too narrow for my wide ass feet, which is why I wear a Nano X. How would you say the Metcon 7 compares to earlier Metcons in terms of width?

[@BoHeroman]

@@Benebazsi Nikes are narrow in the midfoot. These are no exception. But the outsole itself is very blocky, and actually widens out despite the tight grip that you would feel around the foot. AsManyReviewsAsPossible breaks it down well.

[@Benebazsi]

I'll check his review out then. Thanks bud!

[@JeanAtaide]

I laughed Hard when you said "issooo" which means "thats it"

[@BluegillGreg]

Houdet not only makes a beautiful lift at 20:19, he goes back to set the bar for the next lifter.

[@Letseatah]

That mullet talk, like consuming lots of crystal light and wonder bread peanut butter sandwiches 😂

[@khajiitthecat1462]

Unexpected legendary intro

[@eugenepoon]

Great work at the start Alex

[@R3dCol0r]

That Mullet rant... haha. Too good.

[@williamchase5698]

My understanding is if you push your knees out and put your hips into the external rotation activating more muscle

[@thedearmusic]

You know what video you should make? A video commentating on the commentators during these events! Because I always feel like the cues they give are... not good.

[@SiFuJasper]

Best mullet man today is Craig Engels, American 1500m runner. Lives in an RV. Drives across country to compete in track meets.

[@HamzaAli-yw1qt]

When daddy zack sees you snatching with your chin down 23:30

[@jkgoet01]

I love the commentary, great to hear constructive criticism on these guys technique, gives me ideas on what to work on... and the side comments are hilarious to ha ha

[@conchubhar9492]

Excellent video as always Zack

[@siheath3648]

I'm calling it now, next year 80% of Crossfit games athletes will be rocking a mullet... including the girls

[@birdcatcher79]

"That's a a performance-enhancing drug." Best quote of the video, referring to the mullet of destiny.

[@Paraglasses]

You don't pick the mullet lifestyle, the mullet lifestyle picks you.

[@jimkennedy472]

New patreon subscriber here. Loving all your content.

[@kidtothewolves]

Love these videos! Would love to see a training video or collab with you and fikowski!

[@emp100k]

love watching Malheiros lift, very clean looking lifts.

[@harryb7661]

Awesome analysis as always!

[@WesJH]

These are fan f'n tastic man. Keep 'em coming!

[@zephyr-o-saurus]

loved the intro! :)

[@perfectoj7775]

Appreciate the breakdown .. definitely helping me out

[@mojohojo1210]

Thank you! If you have a mullet you HAVE to become that person! Theo Von is the mullet goat

[@Eatzdiary]

Who hooked you up with the South Korea t shirt

[@brittanyvh9139]

I know you're a fan of the dynamic starts... but can we give it up for the A+ lifters with static starts!

[@stellars4257]

Mullet rant is beautiful!

[@slon911]

Great video. Vardanian has a very different pull though - his hips shoot up a lot - remnant of the no contact era and then he swings back while Malheiros is very upright with low hips kinda like some of the Chinese

[@zacktelander]

In all fairness vardanyan was snatching in the 170s in that video. They are similar in the sense that they both have very straight pulls without too much of a violent and loud extension.

[@hooobi]

Wow what a production step up

[@JaydenBBx]

I watch every strength sport you can think of and lately everybodys been colliding.. so much content to watch lately

[@liftweightsbreathoxygen]

Your hilarious bro, love watching your stuff!!

[@eugenepoon]

Zack was earlier to the crossfit video than I was to this review vid And I was on it pretty early

[@franciscoestebanaguilar3135]

best intro ever!
