Khalipa is a solid ass dude. He speaks so clearly and is down to earth. Love it!

[@swat486]

Khalipa has always been my favorite. I learned a lot of my CrossFit movements from his tutorials. His row and C2B teaching is perfect

[@PNW_Charles]

I would love to see a monthly Hiller/Khalipa podcast or vlog. That's only like 12 a year, and each one would be gold. Cheers!

[@scottjilek6006]

Very interesting take. Also interesting to hear Khalipa say “no one likes gymnastics” because his programming definitely reflect that. It’s rarely programmed. Higher skilled gymnastics is basically non-existent. I hope this means Khalipa plans to start adding more into Ncfit’s programming and make it more well rounded.

[@RogueCylon]

Love his presentation to you. That was an awesome collab.

[@tonyeyles1848]

Well spoken

[@hillerfit]

He came over with a piece of paper and I knew he meant buisness

[@Greg_Glassman]

Jason Khalipa is the equivalent to a kid in a candy store when he talks G,W,M

[@nathangreener14]

Great video! Khalipa is a legend

[@rodm49]

This is seriously AWESOME!!!

Great content, Khalipa is a good dude.

[@patricklang7162]

Never heard Jason before, but he’s awesome. He’s smart he’s charismatic. I love him. Love seeing him on the channel.

[@HashimAlmadani84]

I understand what Kalipa said and agree with his take always when you want to focus on gymnastic movements on complexity over repetition. Taking some new movements and mixing them with a high volume of repetitions makes it hard to watch and understand

[@martinloftus6625]

Big Sky video. Best ever. And Jason is such a good guy. Good content.

[@cf_andr3]

In my opinion, Jason is 100% right and the focus should be on all 3 areas (W, G, M). If CF HQ done this from the beginning, there would be no discussion and it will be easier to accept. There are also a few interesting gymnastic movements in the GridLeague I would love to see at CF Games (DoubleTouch, TripleTouch, RMU/BMU with Medball, Back Uprise RMU, Burpee Pullover). But I think CF HQ is on a good way to increase the gymnastic skills. Please keep in mind, thiis is absolutely only for the CF Games and the Top Elite Athletes and not for the average CF Class. I think in an average CF Class it is well balanced between WGM.

❤ Learning gymnastics in a grownup body seems so much harder than learning Olympic lifts as a grownup….but of course I like Olympic lifts more than I like gymnastics, so there’s that😂. I guess this is why games athletes aren’t 50😂🤸‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

[@Sam.Valenzuela]

Can I get a copy of that graph for my garage? 😂

[@jtroyan11]

He’s got a lot of great points but as far as the monostructural modality running is still a huge weakness in elite crossfitters. Many can’t even run a sub 5 min and elite runners can hold that for 5k and beyond. But any “cardio” involving machines ski, bike, row crossfitters are much closer to elite in those.

[@scottmcgraw938]

Elite runners can't power clean 200# and weigh 165 pounds....... For the size and power of these athletes they are running extremely well.

[@JavierAcosta-fd4rd]

@@scottmcgraw938 So, Boz is wrong? Top CF athletes aren't actually near top endurance athletes. And that's a good thing, right? We all use to think it was a good thing. Well, if so, what's Boz's point?

[@stryguy]

Khalipa is the man

[@besteverskin]

Idk the amount of upper body strength I needed to tackle the surgery I just had tells me otherwise. Maybe I don’t need to walk backwards on my hands but the years of muscle ups and pull ups and holds and dips moved my body weight plus a dead leg for weeks (and we’re not done yet) when my lower extremity was 100% out of commission. My training did correlate to real life and although it was one time, it was one very important time where all these years of training some “sporty movements” got me through something I never planned for. And that’s real life.

[@Quadslikero]

Jason is the man.

[@summerw5773]

❤❤❤❤JASON!

[@samsmith8643]

The weightlifting and monostructural elements are easier to place into the context of a race

[@RoosterJaxn]

Awesome!

[@tommytan4331]

Its difficult to compare gymnastics with the pros cause they are scored based on a routine/performance on stage. Unlike mono and weightlifting which is easily quantifiable because of the numbers.

[@jlynnyay]

That is the oldest OG Bic Pen!!! lol

[@raejoy87]

I don’t think it’s that “people don’t like gymnastics”…it’s more like, “adults who haven’t spent 1 hour a day mobilizing their shoulders since they were 5 years old have a harder time actually doing gymnastics” So by that I mean - my son started gymnastics at age 4 until he was 10 years old, & the amount of shoulder mobility they’d put in at the start of every (2 hr long) class was substantial. Our average working-a-day-job member who hasn’t exercised since high school sports usually struggles to get into a properly stacked locked-out strict press position let alone the shoulder stabilization to hold a ring support…not making excuses, just something I’ve noticed while raising my son in sports & coaching crossfit for just as long!

[@J_Wolfe86]

Exactly same reason adults suck at squatting when the first come to a gym, 12+ years of sitting at a desk in school etc…

[@paulkane8189]

Khalipa = likeable

[@George_USMC]

Jason’s a good dude!

[@ramblr5900]

11th did I make the cut? NorCal Crossfit event

[@ramblr5900]

Someone conversating with Bozman good trends observation

[@RobontheRize]

My opinion, Def gonna look into this

[@Kevin-zb8oo]

Really good! Nothing else to say👍🏻

[@mikeseguin452]

I think at the level of the everyday affiliate athletes the WGM is more balanced. Very few at local affiliates can back squat 400-500lbs and run a sub 6-5min mile. And they do lots of very entry level gymnastics at the affiliates, ex: candle stick rolls, ring row, pull ups, knees to elbows, skin the cats, bear crawls, bear walks etc. Their weightlifting and monostruckle stuff would also be less elite on average.

[@scottwagner3694]

I think Nick Symmonds maybe could do that 5-5-5?

[@edpayne29]

Try Clarence clean and jerk into back flip

[@mccask]

"Hockey stick growth" implies an exponential growth to time relationship. I disagree with Jason that this is exhibited in CrossFit elite competition. There has been growth, but the relationship is LINEAR; this is to be expected with more worldwide entrants to competition, better coaching, and better training. His overall point is solid, despite his method to rationalize.

[@arturbcabral]

Wow… we all have known this since we saw the games last year and Bozman had been so clear about it. He’s discovered this a bit late 😂

[@JavierAcosta-fd4rd]

Maybe he's just kissing Boz ass.

[@POPoftheTOPSpod]

His graphs are wrong though- these are tending to infinity. When really they are high growth early on and then plateauing. Same point though

[@RobontheRize]

Weightlifting has weight classes for a reason. A 200# oly lifter compared to 200# crossfitters snatch or clean and jerks is def not within 20% maybe 35%

[@clutchcure6821]

The reason gymnastics are not at the same level is because any of those gymnastics' kids are literally all under 120lb or 5foot nothing. If you try to do it at a higher body weight you will more than likely end up hurting yourself and it's not worth it.

[@mattr9256]

Khalipa 🐐

[@jlrbhj]

Hmm. The highest level gymnasts are WAY ahead of "average" gymnasts in a way that is different from weightlifting and running and swimming and biking. The downside risk is WAY higher. Bodyweight movements are great. Higher-level gymnastics are for the pros. There is a line, and I hope CF doesn't take down too many careers finding it.

CrossFit Naperville days

[@ChernobleFit]

The dead flex was money 😂

[@dinosr13]

CrossFit seems to be closing the door on the average Joe who can become a athlete. I feel like that was the point of CrossFit. Sure the sport is growing but it’s becoming like the NFL. They’re leaving their community behind and turning them into spectators. 🤷🏻‍♂️ just a thought.

[@0009bambam]

Power clean Bodyweight ✅ Easy Knees to Elbows ✅ Willing to even attempt a backflip 👎👎👎 🤷‍♂️😂

[@JavierAcosta-fd4rd]

We're not close to gymnasts and never will be, because we don't do, and won't ever do, real gymnastics. And, by the way, CrossFitters are in no way about 20% off the performance of world class endurance athletes. We're closer to weightlifters, because, lo and behold, WL is a core part of the methodology. But getting close to endurance athletes or gymnasts would require a completely different methodology. That whole Boz argument just doesn't make sense to me. I think he came up with it to try to justify more "gymnastics" into the programming for his own reasons. But is it really the case that adding more low rent, children's level, or gimmicky gymnastics movements into the programming is going to improve our fitness or the fitness of Games athletes? I'm saying, Nope. Placing more emphasis on running and swimming would yield greater improvements in overall fitness, imo. Games athletes are on average poor runners. Even the best runners among them are not that impressive. I'm fine with trying to expand the "gymnastics" repertoire of CF athletes. I love the challenge of learning new gymnastics movements. But doing so should be aimed solely at improving fitness and not done under the bizarre idea that Games athletes are too far removed from actual gymnastics.

[@arturbcabral]

Can’t spell his name for nothing. 😂😂😂 it’s wrong on the title and on the opening of the video as well.
