Any body builder and power lifter watching this O.O

I’d like to see them do a full dead-hang pull-up…

[endurodadclint]

Will never be taken seriously due to zero drug testing

I almsot cant imagine they gained all their muscles by doing crossfit. Theres so little muscle tension in the way they do there reps. I was looking into crossfit as a means to do a cut after bulking ohase. Anyone got experience with that?

This year was so trash. The bicycle event was the starting point that set this hot piece of horse shit on fire. Bring back Reebok bring back EVENTS bring back good CrossFit games

I don’t care what anyone says, running 3 400m’s with any other excercise is fucked if you have ever ran a 400 somewhat fast. Insane

[alfiojuarezcampos]

Todavía tengo mis dudas de que esos sean 400 m

[Stauder]

why are they running around naked? put on a jersey guys :D

[lephuongtruong]

Đây thực sự là những người khoẻ nhất, toàn diện nhất

Khrennikov's snatches form was abysmal. Crazy how the judges counted moat of them.

[DhananjaySingh-cupq]

If you're ever feeling useless, remember they have referees to count CrossFit ""reps" .

[shaieresmirnoff]

Take advantage of this sport before that race find out about it. I know

[John......]

Asif people pay to watch this, its just a few guys in the gym...

I’m a rock climber and know nothing about cross fit. Anyone want to educate a brother on why they use so much momentum in their muscle ups? Seems like really bad form or does form not matter in cross fit? Any info would be appreciated 🤘

not really a spectator sport this is it. must be boring in the crowd
