The CrossFit Games: Individual - Overhead Squat

1:24:10 Fraser 377 1:45:26 Froning 377 Absolute Beasts

[@Postermaestro]

1:19:52 that was a rep..

[@ajcarter8456]

Agreed.

[@gordlawson11]

+Postermaestro i agree - It looked to be the same depth as many others that passed 1:20:10 was NOT a rep

[@Postermaestro]

+Biggus Dickus yeah ironic that it happens right after too..

[@kirstybrown1185]

for a rep to count you actually need to hold the squat, he didn't, that absolutely was not a rep. His legs didn't stay locked on the way up, he didn't wait for the rep to count to stand up. So many things he did wrong and people want to complain about fairness, that would have been unfair had it counted. If other judges are letting stupid reps through, it is on them, all judges can't just be like "well why don't we join them in being s***" its nice to see some level of technical integrity in judging in sports events.

[@Postermaestro]

1:20:17 aaaaaaand that's not a rep.

[@dsbiddle]

Amanda Goodman has an amazing body! And her squat was one of the few that looked deep enough, too.

[@calebwany8422]

Yeah, she doesn't get enough love.

[@victorh8863]

CODY ANDERSON IS A BEAST

[@lizroddis7932]

Brooke Ence at 33:33

thanks I was searching

[@petepittsburgh]

Chick got robbed at 10:53. That was a clean rep

[@brocky]

Deeper than any of Mat Fraser's OHS.

[@susanhipsher4093]

[@cswalker21]

Wow, yeah. She went deeper than like half the reps they counted, LOL

[@jeremymillar9792]

19:21 Bad call by judge.

[@olimercer835]

1:20:20 I'm sorry but imagine you were an athlete that lost out due to this being given. I'd be too embarrassed if I was him to accept that as a good lift. Awful judging

[@PainterFRO]

You noticed he redid the same weight the next round?

[@alan181090]

Castro notice it, and tell that to the head judge.. Ben repeat the 335 lbs attempt

[@natalies.6310]

Are you not ENTERTAINED?!?! lolol favorite part of the whole thing.

[@326nnorth]

22:30 Boz advising his judge "lower" with his right hand

[@marcusSOCoaching]

Gretchen Kittelberger sounds like the name of an adorable kitten. Also, THAT'S WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT LUCAS PARKER. GET IT.

[@alexlindbjerg]

It'd wierd that these videos don't have a date or a playliste..

[@SyRyanYang]

It's annoying that commentator kept saying snatch jerk is not good. Lvxiaojun snatch jerked 204kg(450lbs)@ 77kg(169lbs) bodyweight.

[@Teghead]

Sorry for being pedantic, but the right term is squat jerk.

[@UselessOwnz]

Teghead Snatch Balance actually

[@Teghead]

Mate, we're discussing Lu Xiaojun's squat jerk, not snatch balances, which are a training exercise.

[@lyyymyyy]

Ryan Yang tian tao has a heavier one at 220kg at 85kg bw

[@Raptor44256]

Teghead Whats a squat jerk? There is a squat, a clean, a jerk, a clean and jerk, but i haven't heard of a squat jerk.

[@eskildjohannessen215]

Strong performance by Chris Spealler

[@declanblair66]

congrats on 900k subscribers 🎉🎉

[@jakeskrabacz6137]

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to be able to OH squat with just a pvc pipe. FML.

[@ryanrussell9548]

Depending on what your issues are, I've found that the weight of the barbell helps to push my shoulders back, putting them in better positioning. This might also be horrible for shoulders.

[@shishikraal9463]

flenke.dame✌🌹🌷.hahaha.

[@tillymoos]

This is also me.

[@gregorygaynor5029]

[@katmcinerney2555]

It's trying to get the balance of how far back to rotate your shoulders and moving the hips and shoulders at the same time

[@GregNaturalImpaktJones]

Half the people making comments on here about poor form have probably never attempted an over head squat in their entire life.

[@aznreaper07]

Some of the judges really REALLY suck though.

[@davidfigueroa7999]

Sais this is not available in my country....

[@svecile1]

1:43:05 Tommy Snarr repping CrossFit Select booyah

[@TonyMon16]

hmm i am noticing the girls who have closer grip in the overhead press are doing more weight than the girls who use the typical snatch grip

[@kcklub]

I think it has something to do with balance also

[@NutriplayOficial]

1:38:27 - Que técnica boa a do N' Olsen.

[@wesrichardson1760]

Chris Spealer went from 150# to 155# bw in a matter of minutes!

[@Postermaestro]

+Wes Richardson damn he sure was juiced up for this one

[@LXAsx457]

How many of these weights do you think these athletes hit in training before the games? Ideally they are in their best physical and mental condition when the games start. Couple that with the competitiveness they feel during these events, and you would think they are hitting PRs during the competition

[@EliteRainSnipers]

+LXAsx457 Oftentimes, people PR outside of competitions. Some people do better in comp, but the vast majority seem to do best in the gym when they can concentrate and not deal with a big crowd.

[@AwesomeTank63]

And they are a little fatigued from prior events

[@samuelhunger]

How is this not available?....

[@kcklub]

yeah , when I was in another country, they censor it

[@BostonSportsGuy567]

These judges aren't in a proper position to judge depth...

[@Wotan123456789]

10:55 a good rep, for sure!

[@bosef9727]

Wotan123456789 looked pretty good considering people got by with much worse

[@perryzou9143]

This is a real competition? Where are the standards

[@kcklub]

The standard is to get hurt as much as possible, fun to watch but not to copy

[@ridered7262]

kcklub sounds like you know it all

[@johnloring3670]

So im pretty new to watching crossfit stuff. Is it just who lifts the most for this event?

[@calebwany8422]

Yeah. Always has been.

[@brocky]

It looks so dangerous for the judges to have their backs turned to the lifters. What if they drop it sideways? I know it's a very small chance but you never know. Probably just me.

[@DragonFlipster]

1:20:00 Rich Froning's Heat

[@yamil88]

1:35:00

[@natejustgotraved]

Matt frasier*

[@kjdiephouse]

How do they decide what order and in what heat the competitors go in? It seems like the last competitor in the final heat would have a huge advantage or everyone else.

[@AwesomeTank63]

It's decided by your performance in the other events. They are awarded a certain number of points after each event and they get ranked and each section of people gets into a heat. Heat 4 is the best.

[@billyblue439]

Snap city hard to watch

[@kcklub]

yes, snap everybody

[@mralgarlick2264]

can someone please tell me how to hold the bar for the overhead squat? I can squat regularly 60KG for 8 reps but when i do to overhead with just the bar, it doesn't feel right, first off my knees go past my toes (unlike back squat) and i feel like my arms aren't straight i read on internet it says arm lock out, how to lock out? the elbow point down ? and do i squeeze my back tight like the elbow looking thing in the back come together? how i hold please tell me, please please. please

[@jeremyschlichting823]

+Garlic Jr Don't hold the bar straight over your head. Hold it at least above your ears or maybe even farther back. Also make sure you have a very wide grip like you see these girls doing. Locking out just means that your arms are straight pretty much. I'm not a master but that's what my coach's have told me

[@cooper512]

+Garlic Jr You may not have the shoulder mobility. Keep stretching and do shoulder rotations with a stick.

[@epicalex8440]

+Garlic Jr let your knees travel, do some paused fronts squat to get the feel. Your knees will travel alot and it's perfectly normal, anyone who tells you otherwise is clueless

[@homoerectus666]

Didn't know Thor and Odin had daughters ..

[@calebwany8422]

Low-key the coolest names ever

[@Teghead]

Some really inconsistent judging of depth there, some horrendous overhead squats on display, hopefully most of these guys have decent coaches that can sort them out, girl with the strapped quad shouldn't be competing this event. Also hilarious commentary: "paused for longer than I like to" "if the bar goes forward its hard to pull your butt back and down" "Celestine, from Africa" wtf is this stuff lol

[@imortaljoe7193]

Why?

[@rickjames3562]

Black women... enough said. They are the strongest.

[@renatorosemberg3029]

19:18 no rep?

[@Lee-70ish]

Very understandable why three quarters of the stands are empty

[@GregNaturalImpaktJones]

Please, what do you know?

[@alan181090]

Yes, because its the first day. Check the last day videos

I don't mean to troll, but Amanda Goodman looks like she's got a little bit of bubble-gut going on. damn strong though

[@calebwany8422]

What's that?

[@MegaUnavailableusern]

theres no reason why rich should bow out after this year. he was made to win the individual events. and he's still young. no reason what so ever.

[@luv2motorboat]

he's choosing to stop because his wife wants him to spend more time with her

[@wildwilie]

That was only one of the reasons. I remember him saying also that he does'nt enjoy the individual events as much anymore, but the team events are what he enjoy's most now.

[@theolamia5400]

wildwilie ρξκμμ%

[@olliemk1]

Maybe he wants to lay off the juice for the sake of his long term health.

[@jasyn11]

Anybody happen to know the finish on the barbell's the men are using? Bright zinc, satin chrome or polished chrome?

[@fitman84]

1:52:00 This man needs more weight in the bar!

[@elamoreslaluchafinal]

what time is the reracking fail at?

[@112358miau]

It feels weird to hear hang squat snatch.

[@christopherclark279]

Squatting to depth seems optional

[@srgfk]

They may have used the wrong flag for one of these athletes. Dont know that Eric Carmody is here to represent North Korea... Probably South Korea

[@kirstybrown1185]

I didn't even notice an issue with that. This is brilliant. I know NK do send people to represent them in sporting events and can see CrossFit being a little less strict than the Olympics and the World Cup and would actually allow them to compete, but his bios refer to Seoul so it defo is a mistake.

[@ronniemartillo]

So sick and tired of judges judging strength in terms of your body weight or height. If you have excellent technique you can move a hell of a lot more than raw strength.

[@316messenjah]

Who was that at 34:26? Friggin cute.

[@JimBuckleyBarrett]

your next ex-wife? :)

[@TonyMon16]

you mean 34:11 ??? cause nothing at 34:26...or did you mean 35:36? another cute girl but her name is show on screen.....

Lol yeah. The one demonstrating the OHS with Rory.
