It's amazing what you can learn if you put your mind to it - they're not that hard. They ARE hard work though! | ||

 An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Ben_F said: Interesting ideas and I like the rowing concept (pun not intended!) and its easy for me to include. After speaking to Crossfit Chris who came event training today for the first time in a good while I would say I am almost certainly going to run something at Salt Ayre (Lancaster) this summer. It will be out on the athletics track and include a good variety of events including strongman, cross-training and athletic movements (i.e. a throw and possibly a jump). It will be aimed at strong crossfit guys and fit strongmen. What a cockend he is - been trying to get him to come for past few weeks then I f**k off and he goes  .............errm just thougth about that  | ||

 Allegedly very strong, but only Carls word for it Member 682, 838 posts | Good effort Terry!! In regards to the box jumps, the idea is to pause at the top, instead of bottom, and use the stretch reflex of jumping down to go straight back up (if any of that makes sense?! Softens the impact as well) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE_z2wvC4oI | ||

I have said for years that you can make events much harder before you have to make them brutally heavier. I still think heavy events are fun to do, great to watch, and an awesome test of strength, but there comes a point where the events are just destroying bodies and really don't mean that much to the crowd anyways. | ||

Couldn't agree more We all love huge weights being destroyed, but I also want to see lungs busting and athletes that can really "go". Plus I'm sick of a 10%+ bicep tear rate at big comps, its utter madness | ||

Plus I'm sick of a 10%+ bicep tear rate at big comps, its utter madness Nothing wrong with tough medley or foot racws , but actual max events. Max deadlift or max log are both heavy events but don't cause injuries, not like silly heavy yokes or tires | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Here's a comp that took place at CrossFit Basel (Switzerland) in 2011. It's all in German but you can make out the events easily. You can click on the tables to see the results. http://www.crossfitbasel.ch/de/2011/09/resultate-crossfit-meet... Max DL F Walk 120kg 60m Log for reps 90kg (75s) Medley: 170kg yoke (Zercher carry) 30m/160kg prowler push 30m Metcon: 4 minute AMRAP of 5 burpees, 10x 32kg KB snatch from the ground There was a "crossfitter" category with very light weights (45kg log, 100kg yoke...) so that small and weak noobs like me could get their hands on implements for the first time. | ||

Maybe....but I dont find watching ppl doing double unders/box jumps etc entertaining in anyway....and the majority of SM fans feel the same I'd imagine? | ||

Couldn't agree more, that's the problem with crossfit its boring as f**k to watch! People doing the same exercise for 15-20 minutes is boring as hell, its like watching the marahton! | ||
