The CrossFit Games - Women's Ranch Deadlift Ladder

[@Strange2us]

it was painful to watch Sara do that last deadlift.

[@BIOL6895]

I know! so sad!

[@WpnsCo2013OEF]

Was almost SNAP CITY in that place!

[@seansulllivan]

The one right before it looked exactly the same from her. Sometimes it's hard for these super competitive athletes to take a step back and live to fight another day, but that's exactly what she needed to do.

[@GrandmasterFerg]

Yet it still would have counted if she got the bar up. All I see is a glorified pissing contest when I see the CrossFit games.

[@timoe1149]

+Jeb Jub oh yes, crossfit trainers are well known for their uncompromising view on lifting form.

[@rod22peru88]

Come on guys, everybody hating on the form has to keep this in mind: first they said the event started 15 minutes after event 1 which took a toll on the legs. Second: it is a one rep max, i guess everybody assumes a 1 rep max is gonna look as clean as when doing sets of ten. Finally its a competition, they are going to give it their all to get that last pull even if it takes recruiting every other muscle in their body.

[@neversaw]

Plus they go by strongman rules so they allow hitching and a curved controlled back is ok in someone who can deadlift well. In a beginner it's a no no but when you have that control and core push out its ok.

[@NeonBornSpartan]

you mean herniated vertebral disk

[@Lubet0TheGreat]

/watch?v=8VZOlFo0Q1U 430 kg rounded back 10 years ago. Hes still deadlifting 400+ till this day.

[@Lubet0TheGreat]

***** The guy said "there's dudes pulling 900lbs+ with a rounded back without hernias". Your responded: "link me one". This is what i did. About the crossfitter girl I 100% agree. Her form is atrocious, ugliest i have ever seen and with high risk of injury. The rounding is lumbar not thoracic(which is ok), but some other girls deadlifted with decent form.

[@knsmith8855]

Theyre just tired at the end 1rpm for all these heavuer weights.

[@JoeyAme]

So many rounded backs. Looks like a lot are gonna need some chiropractors. Good form ensures a long lifting career.

[@BIOL6895]

should it even be counted as a proper deadlift if there backs are rounded. forgive me, I'm new to all this.

[@JoeyAme]

+BIOL6895 form is like fourth in line when it comes to priorities. It's all about the most reps with heaviest weight in shortest amount of time. If you're new to lifting then a bit of advice is that good form will lessen the chance of injury.

[@leonmane1880]

BIOL6895 it's VERY important that you have good form otherwise you'll snap your shit up. if your form is all fucked up like these crossfit chicks, it means that the weight is too heavy for you and you have bad technique. drop 5-10% and try again with good form. this applies if you experience form break down for any of your lifts. this is a marathon, not a sprint and if you want to actually benefit from lifting good form is extremely important

[@smalltugz]

your back WILL round when lifting heavy weight dumbfuck

[@ChangedMountain1]

If so then why do I always see Olympic lifters with impeccable form on lifts that are up to 600lbs for clean pulls

[@XTheMaskedX]

I can feel the pain in the back with those liftings

[@mjthiga]

Good Lord , Sarah's form on the 370!!! hello back snaps

yes this womans are strong, but they are begging for injurys with that kind of form. wich makes me sad because injurys sucks.

[@Hnke90]

Steve Warris nothing wrong with the form for almost all of them. not sure if you ever tried to pull your max but when you do you too would look like that. otherwise you couldve pulled more.

[@Hnke90]

david Then you're either super lightweight or just doing something wrong, cuz 400 isn't that heavy for an average man who has been working out for a while.

Hitching every heavy rep and not doing a negative. That's crossfit for you.

[@TheJatinderAU]

Andy Peraino you don't do negative with deadlift if you're lifting heavy. Yes their form is awful

[@joegar47]

good lord the form on these lifts is frightening.

[@mikekwaks7911]

Do not pretend for one second that this form is ok. HUGE reason why people come hard at crossfit. You can enjoy and support it but if you are about to defend that form for ANY reason, you are simply making a dumb excuse. And btw, proper form allows you to lift more weight, because you are driving more from the core and legs and not back. Crossfit is interesting, but don't tell me there isn't problems here

[@mikekwaks7911]

also worth mentioning to look at the guys video, more consistent form even at higher weights, when their form is off, it's the acceptable kind of off, not to the extent shown here

[@cheeriosaltcream]

How can you blame bad form on a fitness ideology? If people with bad form quit crossfit and joined powerlifitng, would it still be crossfit's fault when they show bad form? Seems more like a people issue than a fitness paradigm issue.

What's with dropping the bar at the end of a lift? You can't do that in competition, your hands have to stay on the bar all the way down. If you can pick it up, you can set it down.

[@hatbat1234]

This comment made you look very stupid. The fact that extremely dangerous form is clearly seen in the video, dosent requiere you to be a coach. Those arches are not healthly, anyone with a few years of dealifting, no not evening years just a few months can see thats not good. I know sometimes there are "experts" in the comments, by in this case man its clear as day. It almost looks like you dont deadlift, you dont need to be an expert on deadlifts, just know to keep your back straight. Both of you, really missed the nail on the head with these comments.

[@samk9632]

wait a couple more years and you'll start to see it. an unsafe lift isn't hard to spot

[@331245]

Half those lifts are “no reps” in a power lifting comp. You can’t hitch and you can’t shimmy the bar in a legit power comp.

[@ethanlewis7635]

Wonder why they all struggle with the lockout.... maybe it has something to do with the horrible set up and not pulling tension out of the bar... or not initiating the lift with a push....

I was afraid some of their backs will snap.
