[@tonyallen3138]

I did CrossFit for almost 6 years and competed locally. As a former HS football and track athlete and an active duty Marine during this time frame. The physique I achieved during this timeframe was top notch, due to my foundation in fitness and the programming from my local box. The physiques these athletes achieve are based on the programming, nutrition, and recovery systems they have in place. Everyone that achieves a physique like this doesn’t have to be on gear. It’s really being active with the programming daily, with adequate recovery placed in it, and dialed in nutrition.

Dane Dane Dane... come on my man. Having this conversation without discussing cycles is silly. I personally know several top pros and lots of regional athletes, they are all on some level of performance enhancement throughout their training. It has been widely discussed for some time now what many are taking... if you can't pass tests whether scheduled or randomized you simply don't know the right folks in the game. Bioidentical hormones, short half lifes, and simply knowing how to cycle outside competition windows is old nees... what is out there now is altered chemical structures that don't even show up on the most sensitive of testing parameters. Advanced training models have been around for decades, amazing physiques the same, and guess what so have PEDs, hell until the early 90s seen Anabolics and Androgenics get put on the scheduled list of illegal substances, sports of all kinds used them even down to the high school level... I know personally as our football coaches in the 80s made them regularly available to kids. Not bashing crossfit here... I'll do that to my friends in person who participate lol, just saying be transparent to the community you serve here... you mention top athletes in the video so at least acknowledge the sport is filled with the use of PEDs that help to deliver the results they achieve.

Thank you for your upload Brother I always super appreciate your content I am always glad as it consolidates my own research & understanding with a sometimes new perspective! One thing that is a shame to see is that both yourself & the crossfit athletes do not know how to row on the erg. I was trained by Olympic coxswain Known to me as Woody & loved & respected by his charges so much that they bought him a DB9 as a present! Woody taught me to drive from the ball of your foot through the legs, once legs are straight you begin pulling with the arms, when the arms are almost bent you lean back just a mm (small amount) then you reverse this, sit-up, arms straight & legs are STILL STRAIGHT no you can bend legs back to start otherwise your power platform is not stable & energy dissipates into the ambient environment namely the AIR not the water or erg platform with leverage ergo you lose leverage anchor point & ergo power to propel to the finish line!

If your goal is to get "jacked", train like a bodybuilder. Not to say you can't build some muscle doing CrossFit, that's just not the main goal. It's just a much more direct process to avoid all the excess conditioning and skill work and just focus on hypertrophy exclusively.

[@kylesadirtbag5937]

For the professionals: many are on drugs. Combined with: having the money to spend hundreds of dollars a week on high quality food. They also Have no other job except to train CrossFit 3-4 hours a day. Matt Fraser’s HWPO program is literally 3 workouts a dwy, 6 days a week. Why? Because there’s so many skills you have to be good at in ordered to be a champion in that sport. Most humans can’t do that unless you’re eating 5000 calories a day, have a massage therapist etc. Some professional athletes don’t have the physique of CrossFit athletes, which is crazy.

[@drip369]

Well we know cardio as well as conditioning can build work capacity and strength is an expression of force over distance over time so even though you don't get much strength while in a hypertrophy range, and sometimes they go outside of it, you still build the mononucleosi as well as plenty of fibrous-peak-flexing, since most of the movements they do are concentric dominated

[@paulvalentine4157]

they hurt my shoulder, but there does seem to be a cardio effect on them, they pitch it as a compound movement

[@HashimAlmadaniauthor]

Coordination is critical, and it spikes your heart rate from one hand, but also, you can only dominate the movement if you know how to engage your core and hip, lats shoulder, and back well. Let's say that it's a rhythmic movement that engages many muscle groups. At the same time, there is a strength part in a Crossfit session and then the WOD part. Generally, in the strength part, we use a lot of Strict pull-ups and weighted pull-ups for strength reasons, while in WODs, you use those kipping variations to increase volume and fulfill the high-intensity workouts.

[@RichieRayP]

Efficiency. Getting your chin over the bar,or chest to the bar, as easy as possible using your lower body to assist you. Benefits: creates muscular endurance in your shoulders, arms, and grip. Keeps your intensity up in the workout. While these butterfly and kipping pull-ups are done in high-intensity workouts. Strict pull-ups are done in accessory work. All of these ignorant people don’t realize that strict and weighted pull-ups are very often done in crossfit gyms. A good crossfit coach wouldn’t allow their members to even attempt butterfly pull-ups w/o the prerequisite of them doing at least 5 or more strict pull-ups first. Strict pull-ups first, then kipping, then butterfly. I’ve never had anyone injure their shoulders due to butterfly pull-ups.

[@Jordan-hz1wr]

Go watch Glassman's original Crossfit seminars. Kipping pull-ups were never meant to be done like they're done in calisthenics. Crossfit is about increasing your work capacity, which is force over distance over time. Crossfit is trying to produce an entirely different adaptation than isolation exercises.

[@stealthassasin1day291]

I've never seen a jacked regular crossfitter but I have seen jacked regular gym goers even calisthenics enjoyers. Crossfit in itself shouldn't make people look jacked, thats the PED doing the work but instead it should make you more fit and leaner if done correctly. Being jacked and crossfit doesn't mix unless you add the PEDs in the Elite levels and even then the physiques are night and day, usually the podium places vs the ones who finish last.

[@AnthonyGarcia-sy3yk]

[@simontaylor2525]

Becas=use top crossfitters don't get good at crossfit by doing crossfit workouts

[@billking8843]

There was a woman at the gym I went to who competed in Crossfit games and her training regime was very conventional (ie a consistent set of exercises, instead of WODs, and done in sets of 10ish instead of AMRAP). CrossFit style training seems to have lots of intensity but not enough consistency. And that might lead to it causing more injuries than conventional training.

[@7mikepd]

answer: steroids

[@GilGiovani]

However there is predominance - *e.g* if a training is predominantly metabolic it can't generate too much muscle damage and/or mechanical tension and the same for the others - like a radar chart where one of the three increases the others diminish, even Crossfit trying to increase all of them at the same time. So, one of the most important things in Crossfit is nutrition. Some of Crossfiters are jacked due to a constant deficit (peaks and valleys) and/or balanced caloric intake, which makes them jacked and not big (as much of the protein synthesis they have is for recovery instead of hypertrophy). Just thoughts :D

They are on good peds and I’m okay with it

I didn't watch the video, the answer is steroids, anyone who tries to train like that without steroids will end up ill/injured.

Absolutely. The times at which they are finishing those workouts are inhuman. A lot of amateurs could probably handle the volume but not the intensity. Meaning they could complete the workout but not efficiently or fast enough. To be a pro in that sport you have to be on a variety of drugs to help with recovery because of how intense the sessions are. Most humans can not casually clean 365lbs, deadlift 500, do a Murph in under 35 mins etc Or have a two hour massage every night and drink electrolytes and 400g of protein on a 24 hour cycle indefinitely combined with 10 hours of sleep a night. Even then given the amount of volume at a competitive CrossFit level I still doubt you could do it without drugs

It's simple. They train really hard and at some point they start using steroids, just like the whole fitness inustry.
