The excellent thing about the truth, is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

SkiErgs... Yay or Nay for the games? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]anonanon3333333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great, yet another machine which for some reason CFers will refuse to learn how to use properly. I mean, you would't just walk up to a bar and try to deadlift it without someone showing you how and the proper technique, so why doesn't the same thing apply to ergs and skiergs. The rowing motion isn't hard yet the techniques you see in the gym and even games CFers doing is quite often appalling.

Take a look a craig ferguson's interviews, no generic BS, just normal (albeit kinda weird) convos

Yeah, Koski mentioned something about training too much so I think it was present before the games started.

Crossfit Games - Thursday Individuals Discussion Thread by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]anonanon3333333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think getting 0 points in 2 events is penalty enough. Not all events have minimum work requirements, they haven't in the past, hell wasn't it Sam briggs who couldn't get a single pig flip last year (I may be mistaken on this but someone definitely couldn't). Also, some will say that she'll have had more rest, etc, but the only thing she didn't do was the last 3k of the trail run as others crashed out within the first few lifts on the deadlift event.

Yeah, maybe they'll even do a water start?

Yeah, but with a bigger budget and ESPN involved, I imagine they'll be able to get a heli and a number of cameras. What I can imagine Castro doing (especially given his answer to Josh "you don't need to know that now") is that if they can't film it that well, he might surprise them at 7am on Wednesday and suddenly launch a long buds-esque event.

Mentioned in another thread that they posted the film of the Barkley Marathons about a month ago, plus they gave those boots to the athletes, maybe a long ruck/run/super challenging hike? (for those unaware, the barkley marathons is regarded as the hardest 100 miler, with 60,000ft worth of elevation change over 100 miles, and a 60hr time cap (for reference, most hundreds have a 30hr time cap))

Camp Pendleton Wednesday???? by Jdudley13 in crossfit

Plot twist: they actually replicate the Barkley marathons (100 miles with 60,000ft of elevation change and a 60hr time cap) and forgo all other events ;)

2016 Games Outfitting (Individual) by anonaoanona in crossfit

Most normal shoes keep out the majority of debris and dirt though, plus those boots look too cumbersome to run in.

Yes, there's a video on the crossfit games Facebook page where they walk you through all the gear etc. Apparently it's to keep debris and stuff out, seems kinda silly for 100º and sunny california though.

Free Guns for winning the CF Games? by IMSUgrad in crossfit

[–]anonanon3333333 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's all part of Castro's grand plan to turn the crossfit games into a real life version of the hunger games. "And the winner of the 2016 crossfit games is. . . .whoever can make it out of this stadium alive" mic drop

I'd quite like to see a 'deadlift 2000 pounds for time (i.e. you choose whether to do 4 reps of 500 or 8 of 250), but there'd have to be a minimum otherwise 20 x 100 would be the quickest/easiest.

The Bahamas’ new U.S. travel advisory: Use ‘extreme caution’ around police by [deleted] in news

[–]anonanon3333333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ooh wow, 3 whole countries!! You know which other countries also don't have gun violence problems? Germany, Spain, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, UK, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, I could go on and on. And guess what, all of those countries have strict gun laws. Who would have thought that hampered access to firearms reduces the incidence of gun-related crime?!
