After years of laughing at these videos I finally went to a CrossFit gym to try it out. I was blown away. Fun movements, camaraderie, merch. Then I came to my senses and went back to safe, proven exercise. Nice people though.
As a CrossFit ambassador, it is functional fitness. As an elk hunter the idea of complete metabolic conditioning is key. My dad was an instructor, and as a firefighter, he helped to introduce it to DFD training. Improving overall physical fitness performance dramatically.
Double under crossovers were a skill too far for the CrossFitters to manage. It's such a niche move it should really only be done for fun or a skipping competition.
it's ridiculous to include them in this type of event. Not everyone has the coordination to to these even after weeks of practice it's hard to get them consecutively consistent.
I would get absolutely obliterated in the rest of the events, but as a Dutchman I feel I would smoke the competition so hard during the bicycle event that I'd still earn a spot on the podium.
I remember about 10 years ago they had really interesting skill/muscle based events that weren’t gimmicky. One was a simple ball throw. Another was a GHD sit-up with a med ball throw. Both great and simple examples of strength and athleticism
Yes! This footage bewildered me! We actually used to look over at the screens from time to time when our local bar had drink specials for the games. This doesn't look anything like what we used to watch when this was kinda of new.
Crossfit makes its own logic. Also, a real outdoor bike race isn't supposed to be lapped- just one long stretch. The commentator is a perfect example of ignorance.
@@SantomPh plenty of bike racing is done on small circuits (criteriums or kermesse) ranging from less than a km to 7 or 8km. Its also common for road races to be run on circuits up to 40-50km in length. Want a longer race, do 2, 3 or 4 laps. It's easier for organizers to manage traffic and get permits to run the events compared to point to point.
Is it just me or does it look like they're riding the bikes like super slow? Looks like a casual Sunday morning ride to get fresh rolls from the bakery :D
I'm convinced Crossfit is the perfect example of an inability to count unifying an entire group of people. If it were slightly more coordinated it would be a terrifying cult.
This took place in my town and I drove by one of the sites on my way to the gym. They had exercise bikes set up outside for use in some kind of circuit event. You know something has gone terribly wrong when, on a bright sunny summer day, you have athletes on _stationary bikes outside_
Jesus, they've had all these years to set standard events with measurable criteria and still you see utter stupidity with the crossover skipping. Imagine Rafael Nadal turning up to the French Open not knowing how to play tennis or having never hit a backhand. Nearly crying on my commute when the commentator tried to compare their efforts to the TdF.
The saddest thing about these 'athletes' is that they're all juiced to the gills. Imagine taking steroids just to win at adult gym class...and still losing 😂
Bro, they are failing at basic fitness. "Athletes" of their caliber not being able to string two reps of Double Unders with Criss-Cross at a slow pace, while any gym goer who has included skipping rope in their routine could do it with ease, is honestly quite sad.
I love how some "low to no financing at all" runners or bikers event have those tapes to measure laps and time and crossfit games are like "nope, we count by ear".
10:39 “he failed to slide the bar over his stomach like Lizzo on a roller coaster.” Lol 😂😂🤣 I watched one of these the other day and the filming is hilariously bad. They didn’t even have a shot of the winner in one of the heats. Just had to take their word for it. In another, their laser timing system was too close to the final event so it kept tripping early.
I'll never understand how an exercise routine based on bad form ever became something that has grown into something so large. The injury rate must be atrocious.
Precisely. Wanna be taught how to do hundreds of reps or deadlifts, snatches, and clean and jerks by 40 year old stay at home moms and 30 year old men who never played sports in their entire life
People who do nothing but, go to the gym said, "I want this to be the sport"! The sport of working out. Ya, it's not a sport. Slow pitch softball is a sport.
Never thought I'd hear an Edgar Allen Poe reference in a CrossFit compilation/teardown. 🤣The fails, the jokes, the wordplay, the allusions... you're doing something special here.
Every kip is a no-go, they should hand out awards for "biggest failures" instead of "fittest person". Thank you for another banger Traptulhu, Lord of the Trap.
@@dedfoker your obviously a crossfit athlete hater, I'm sure your fitter than them in everything fitness since they can't do anything consistently right? You know first prize winners got 300k plus, you should compete next year and take that easy money
I wouldn't criticize the clean fails. They were pretty standard ways to fail a clean. And dumping front and jumping back is the safest way to do it. The guy that fell back could've been much much worse by crushing hit forearms with the weight.
I think the point is the amount of bail worthy rep failures we saw from professionals in a single event. They're clearly strong in the lift. They've just convinced themselves that they need to do all this other retardation and ruin the actually compelling movement.
@@izo_kei That is true. But at some point you have to draw a line where it just become ridiculous to explain and where it makes you (the commentators) and the viewers look like fools instead. But I guess making a gear choice a technical and complicated thing maybe say a lot about how exciting a CF game really is, lol.
It's almost as though some participants don't even know which exercises they're going to be doing before showing up, and never practice doing even a single rep. Probably too busy researching child sized bike helmets to fit their smaller skulls.
I don't like to laugh at people trying their hardest during a challenge or sport but.... I'm crying here! 😂😂😂😂👍👏👏👏 Your commentary is perfectly deadpan and so accurate 😜👏👏
I will say, that even though these games are odd and don’t make sense. The people are extremely fit. They still have huge deadlifts and squats and overall strength.
2:29 this commentator shows once again he’s never ridin or walked with a bicycle I always do exactly as she does (one hand grab between the handles) for maximum control when walking with a bike.
1 hand between the bars if you're maximizing 1 handed control. 1 on the saddle if you're trying to look cool. People should go to a local bike race where a guy who makes $9/hr has a $7k bike...watch them for 30 seconds and they'll show you EXACTLY how move a bike.
It's crazy to me that with the marketing virality of crossfit, you don't think that most people have experience with it. Fact is, most people know enough crossfitters to see how often they get hurt lol.

If CrossFit punishes you for skipping a lap by adding your slowest lap time for each lap missed, you could just go all out for 1 lap and win with ease
Stonks!!!
That’s what I was thinking
First thing I thought of too lol
Maybe better do two or three, depends on the competition
Big Brain moment 🧠
Combining Olympic lifting with ego lifting, while mixing in intense cardio is an absolutely beautiful thing to watch
*Warmup cardio
Why would someone have a RUclips video on their failures? Give them credit for their accomplishments and the brutal training they go through.
And bringing in morons to do all of the above
@@TravisMcGee151 Calling that "brutal training" is like calling bashing your head against a wall "brutal training"

I was about to say the same thing. I'm more surprised it happened this year.

Literally my thought when I got the notification
It's also the only reason I appreciate the existence of the games 😅
I love the fact that this guy has a personal vendetta against crossfit
Those helmets makes me think of Cartman joining the Paralympics 🤣
at this point I have to assume the organizers are in on the joke. they have to be.
Deeeeerrrrrp! I'm Cartman, deeeeerrrp!

OMFG yes 😂😂😂
Cartman would've done better than those crossfitters
Double under crossovers were a skill too far for the CrossFitters to manage. It's such a niche move it should really only be done for fun or a skipping competition.
Ya its pretty hard to do fast, I totally agree.
I just started doing DU.
They're not great for speed.
it's ridiculous to include them in this type of event. Not everyone has the coordination to to these even after weeks of practice it's hard to get them consecutively consistent.
Can we petition they do these monthly so we can watch monthly fails

I've been watching your CrossFit Games series from every year, this is perfect timing!
Same Here
I love crossfit. This is the only place I watch crossfit.
Anavar never give up!
same here. each year me and my family look forward to it.
How can anyone watch this garbage???

In every other short-lap race (crits, cyclocross, Short track XC, etc), you ring a bell when competitors are on the final lap. It's common knowledge.
Crossfit makes its own logic. Also, a real outdoor bike race isn't supposed to be lapped- just one long stretch. The commentator is a perfect example of ignorance.
@@SantomPh Actually there are plenty of cycling road races, big ones too, on courses.

Yep, even in swimming we ring bells before the end of the race
That would assume most of the competitors are even on the same lap. I bet a lot are lapped here.
Taking a breather is now forever, “flushing the toxic lactic acid keeping my muscles constrained.”
Last time I was this early, kali was still making jail food
The "how not to do a single exercise" games 2022. Beautiful!
"If you're going to fall during a bike race at least be on the bike." sent me💀
The disparity in penalties for missing a jump rope and missing a lap are insane
01:20 Why are they biking through a trailer park? Where was this event held? Sunnyvale?
The women are all definitely natty. Without a doubt.
I'm down for the snu snu
@bigmike obama bruh 🤣
This is every strength sport though.
Yep, they're all natty.
Their necks the girth of prime Iron Mike Tyson's neck are a testament to that. 🤝
Ah that is the answer to why they looked bigger this year. Even better diet and training I guess, lol!
Get ready for the 2023 Crossfit Games, boys! Elgin's Games videos are like Christmas for me, I can't wait til it arrives!
Is it just me or does it look like they're riding the bikes like super slow? Looks like a casual Sunday morning ride to get fresh rolls from the bakery :D

That’s what I thought too. Idk if the bikes have extra resistance on them?
That cat deadlift picture somehow manages to be funnier every time.
I'm convinced Crossfit is the perfect example of an inability to count unifying an entire group of people. If it were slightly more coordinated it would be a terrifying cult.
That’s why they do reps for time, no counting necessary.
it is a terrifying cult

Hey bro
Have you done rows outside? Its actually pretty cool
@@dkny9954 Yes, in a boat, with oars, on a river.
I see your point but stationary bikes are seen on the sidelines of professional sports too, like in football stadiums
One of those "sporting" events where the highlights are much better than watching the actual event if you catch the EIF summary. Well done, Elgin.
those girls still have nice bodies. that's why i watch
It turned going to the gym is the sport where, part of a sport is working out in a gym.
I feel like every CrossFit gym should be retitled into a comedy club.
Makes me sad I missed this when it came out. But, the algorithm is new I needed to see this today.
Been waiting all year for this
@Mrbeast scams[proof on channel] huh? 🤨 📷
"You look super fit. What's your sport?"
"Thanks! I have no idea."
Jesus, they've had all these years to set standard events with measurable criteria and still you see utter stupidity with the crossover skipping. Imagine Rafael Nadal turning up to the French Open not knowing how to play tennis or having never hit a backhand. Nearly crying on my commute when the commentator tried to compare their efforts to the TdF.
How dare you bring Rafa into this horseshit, but yeah pretty much what you said though is correct.
Tennis is an entirely different test. It’s not random, is not unknowable. Not even an comparison.
Correct, Anna, tennis is a real sport, not just a bunch of people doing excersise.
I’ve watched only one video of yours and it’s this one and it had me crying that there was no way I wasn’t going to subscribe😂
The saddest thing about these 'athletes' is that they're all juiced to the gills. Imagine taking steroids just to win at adult gym class...and still losing 😂
Couldn't have said it better. Just a pathetic lot!
And on top of that, failing at doing basic lifting form.
