Man I loved you video! Finally a weightlifter that want to help the crossfit community not just shit on it. Looking forward to your content! (the part about medeiros had me laughing not gonna lie lol)
The chin in the air on the catch annoys the hell out of me. Guarantee it's them training the snatch and always having it drilled into them that they need chin up to keep their posture up. Chin up =/= straight spine.
Yeah CrossFit (I do CrossFit 3 days week) does a lot of bad cuing like head up and “weight on the heels” for two examples. It’s pretty simple and I don’t understand how they don’t get it. Everything is strongest when your stacked. If your head is back then your not stacked. If your weight is on your heels (instead of mid foot tripod style) your not stacked.
Malheiros said in a interview that is weigthlifting coach, is the same guy that coaches the Brazilian weigthlifting team. Looked like he could keep on going for a few more rounds. Great video :)
Love the respect for the sport. And that you called out the announcer, Chase, on head position...dude talks and talks and talks and a good percentage of it is nonsense.
I like Tommy, and I think Shawn Woodland does a good job and stays in his lane. I don't remember if Pat Sherwood said stupid stuff, but I kinda miss him. Chase has se valuable insight but tries to fill all the dead air and ends up saying stuff like, "It takes energy to stand." ...yeah. It takes energy to talk. Save your energy.
@@stephenr85 ya i was thinking about this more today and i think you are right. he does a good job for the large majority of ppl watching who wouldnt know the difference of what he says. but sometimes he just talks a bit too much. i dont think pat ever commentated live events? i thought he was always in the post recap type stuff. and sean is the best.
Zack, I bet my pants you'll be coaching a Crossfit athlete very soon. I think you're dragging a lot of attention from the Crossfit community with these awesome reviews, hence Craig Richey is commenting on this video.
23:13 Thank you for calling out Chase Ingraham. This dude has a ridiculous track record of talking nonsense and advising the exact opposite of good technique/strategy. There was a 550 yard sprint event and every heat he would go on about how it was not a good idea to go all in from the start and how you should pace yourself and maybe fall back a little bit.
Yo coach Z can you please do a video about different body types for weightlifting and how lifters optimise their form for their anatomy? Thanks for all the weightlifting content btw
23:05 this part!! the whole “keep your head up/he’s looking down” thing drives me insane and OF COURSE they had to say that about literally the man who’s got such a solid and gorgeous head position in his catch 😭😭😭
I am a masters CrossFit athlete 60 yo with no weightlifting background. I made it to the games this year. My lifting is one of my weakest movements, specifically snatches. do you know a coach here in the Orlando FL area that might want to work with me?
LOVED watching this, Houdet really impressed me in that event, I really never saw him in prior events and I was like who dat?! Gui is a gifter lifter for sure, Fikowski is great too!
This years games was pretty awesome. It was a fight to the top for the men side. Unlike that past few years where Fraser wins almost every event and everyone else is just competing for 2nd place.
You know what video you should make? A video commentating on the commentators during these events! Because I always feel like the cues they give are... not good.
Broo¡! you roasting the announcer was the best, I've been saying it for years. That specific guy gets stuff wrong way too often is not even funny anymore. A couple of years ago he said Cody Anderson was not going to be able to finish a heavy clean event. (he crushed it). This year he said Mal OBrien strategy was bad on the Thrusters and wall walks event because she was going unbroken. (she won the event. is so funny dude
Really appreciate listening to your commentary on all the Games lifting events. Super cool that you are so respectful about CF athletes yet still honest about everyone’s technique. Any chance you would ever go watch the Games live? I know there is a pretty large CF community that follows you and would love to meet you.
"Get USADA, WADA, whatever Crossfit uses [on the line]" lmao good joke. Drug testing in Sochi is more reliable than in Crossfit. Saying that as someone who loves being a spectator of competitions and has done crossfit for nearly 3 years.
@@villapoder how are you supposed to witness something that doesn't exist? Have you witnessed the tooth fairy? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Tom Brady's running regimen? The fucks I give about your opinion? Have a good day and shut the hell up
Hey great to run across one of your videos on my suggested viewing! Been a while since I trained with you at Texas A&M rugby and pumped to see your channel doing so well. About to share this with the rest of the boys!
Damn that's some nice green screen technique! I did love staring at the blinds on your door in the past, but I'll adjust to the new format. Excellent breakdown. Production value is making sick gainz!
Another excellent video. I feel there is not enough focus on technique in Crossfit. It’s all about powering through and hitting PRs without looking at bulletproofing the lift. Hence the high amount of injuries.
I think it would be really cool to see other weightlifting competitions use this format. There are more areas for drama throughout the competition with the second attempt with time running out and the tiebreaker. One might also say it does a better job of determining the best weightlifter as everyone lifts the same weights. I was there live and it was definitely the highlight of the weekend.
"I want you to RUclips Urik Vardanian right now" Me: uh... yur...ich... var... den...... youritc...... uh... urich van damme... Uruk-hai Varda... ughhh...
As ex basketball player I worked out with olympic weightlifters. I was lucky that my cousin was one of the better competitors in my country. I worked a lot on technique before trying any serious weight. I can honestly say that olympic training has made me so much better athlete and player. Respect to anyone lifting weights like these
Super fun to watch you break down the CrossFit lifts!! It's very interesting to listen to the tweaks in techniques you recommend as the person is coming off heavy lifts. All around awesome content, mad respect for all that you do. Long time subscriber here, keep doing a good job man!
Every pair of Nike’s you see there is the Metcon 7. Wide + flat outsole, lock down laces, and a 7mm drop from heel to toe. I have ditched my Reebok Legacy Lifters and lift in my 7’s only now.
My only problem with Metcons is that Nike shoes in general are just too narrow for my wide ass feet, which is why I wear a Nano X. How would you say the Metcon 7 compares to earlier Metcons in terms of width?
@@Benebazsi Nikes are narrow in the midfoot. These are no exception. But the outsole itself is very blocky, and actually widens out despite the tight grip that you would feel around the foot. AsManyReviewsAsPossible breaks it down well.
That intro was killer 😂 production value is going up now that youve committed, love to see it
The mullet commentary is pure gold
Man I loved you video! Finally a weightlifter that want to help the crossfit community not just shit on it. Looking forward to your content! (the part about medeiros had me laughing not gonna lie lol)
His mullet rant is so perfect lmao. On point in every way, including the sarcasm XD
Wow videos like wu lift but good lol, keep em coming

Really digging the t shirt
@TeamRICHEY get that review on your 131 kg snatch. Would be sick content.
Wow, my RUclips subscriptions are colliding.
collab of the cench
Hi Craig 👋👋
Where's the shirt from?
Love how Zack started out commenting on form and technical points, but towards the end he was just enjoying the show and being a fan
Malheiros said in a interview that is weigthlifting coach, is the same guy that coaches the Brazilian weigthlifting team. Looked like he could keep on going for a few more rounds.
Great video :)
this true
Fernando reís is an amazing weightlifter so I believe it
my brazilian friend said his dad also owns a gym of some sort, possibly an oly one.
@@kenmei18 no he doesn't, his dad is into some hypnotism coaching bullshit. lol
Makes all the difference too. Most crossfitters learn to oly lift from other crossfitters lol
Love the respect for the sport.
And that you called out the announcer, Chase, on head position...dude talks and talks and talks and a good percentage of it is nonsense.
thats all of the crossfit announcers, they just talk to fill the silence, tommy marquez is probably the only one who talks any sense
@@usmanfarooq96 agreed. tommy is the best. chase ingram is constantly talking BS.
Chase is ass
I like Tommy, and I think Shawn Woodland does a good job and stays in his lane. I don't remember if Pat Sherwood said stupid stuff, but I kinda miss him. Chase has se valuable insight but tries to fill all the dead air and ends up saying stuff like, "It takes energy to stand."

Gudmundsson and Houdet used to have the same weightlifting coach, its not a coincidence they both have really solid technique.
When you said “isso” I lost it 😂 It means “that’s it” or something like “yeah” in portuguese
Damn it I was literally about to write haha you beat me to it

Got to love how ZT reviews snatch techniques and then pivots into mullet philosophy
*Breaking: Justin Medeiros has had his Gold medal revoked after testing positive for "Mullet"*
I just started running a hundred mgs of Mullet last week and my numbers are up like crazy. The effects are real.
"that's a performance enhancing drug! That mullet!" I'm so dead 😂😂
loved that comment, Zack. lol!!
23:13 Thank you for calling out Chase Ingraham. This dude has a ridiculous track record of talking nonsense and advising the exact opposite of good technique/strategy.
There was a 550 yard sprint event and every heat he would go on about how it was not a good idea to go all in from the start and how you should pace yourself and maybe fall back a little bit.
Scott Panchik was competing all weekend with an injured meniscus. It's pretty crazy he was able to both finish the Games and hit those lifts.
Gui has such fluid and aesthetically pleasing movement. Would've loved to see him max out
he’s done 145kg/320lbs before.
He’s got 150 in training already.
Hot damn!
André Houdet is from Denmark and did a fantastic job at the Games this year
Shame to see fikowski out so early, he definitely looked like he had 300+ in him
"you gotta get in arguments with your little sister" wtf dude lol. love your content! Cheers from Brazi..
HAHA I know
Yo coach Z can you please do a video about different body types for weightlifting and how lifters optimise their form for their anatomy? Thanks for all the weightlifting content btw
Its crazy how he actually remembers the athletes names and their attributes
This was one my favorites of your videos. Great commentary. Best line “That mullet is a performance enhancing drug.” Love it.
23:05 this part!! the whole “keep your head up/he’s looking down” thing drives me insane and OF COURSE they had to say that about literally the man who’s got such a solid and gorgeous head position in his catch 😭😭😭
That's Chase Ingraham for you!
I am a masters CrossFit athlete 60 yo with no weightlifting background. I made it to the games this year. My lifting is one of my weakest movements, specifically snatches. do you know a coach here in the Orlando FL area that might want to work with me?
I'm calling it now, next year 80% of Crossfit games athletes will be rocking a mullet... including the girls
LOVED watching this, Houdet really impressed me in that event, I really never saw him in prior events and I was like who dat?! Gui is a gifter lifter for sure, Fikowski is great too!
Finally someone qualified to speak on technique. I’m hearing good feedback, not “he’s not looking for his eyes” 🤨
You don't pick the mullet lifestyle, the mullet lifestyle picks you.

is so funny dude
CrossFit athletes butcher the form because of muscling the bar. Olympic lifting is 80 percent technique. 20 percent is Strength.
When daddy zack sees you snatching with your chin down 23:30
19:59 "That's a performance enhancing drug" I DIED LOL
These are great. Do the clean and running event please!
I enjoy these reviews. I don't think you need to explain you're being honest...it's clear you're saying what's true from the videos.

form looks good, you easily get the impression that crossfiters are sloppy cuz of the meme videos
I laughed Hard when you said "issooo" which means "thats it"
Every time I see Joe Exotic I just piss myself 😂 I can’t keep a straight face looking at that guy.
Just like crossfit,
The mullet guy MAY have good form,
But no thorough practice.
Does this mean no more Zyzz/Piana on the tv in the background???
This is the funniest ZackT video I've watched, and I've watched them all.
"Get USADA, WADA, whatever Crossfit uses [on the line]" lmao good joke. Drug testing in Sochi is more reliable than in Crossfit. Saying that as someone who loves being a spectator of competitions and has done crossfit for nearly 3 years.
Have you witness the drug testing procedure in crossfit?

@@Emilyspace_ very mature i see, not wasting my time in trying to discuss anything with you, keep believing what suits your narrative.
Why does anybody who's bashing crossfit always say "Ive done CF for xxx year" lol, you're a joke!
Thank you! If you have a mullet you HAVE to become that person! Theo Von is the mullet goat
Dude, as a CFer this was not only super helpful, but such a relief to see you not trashing the sport the whole time. Thanks.

That mullet talk, like consuming lots of crystal light and wonder bread peanut butter sandwiches 😂
Another excellent video. I feel there is not enough focus on technique in Crossfit. It’s all about powering through and hitting PRs without looking at bulletproofing the lift. Hence the high amount of injuries.
Love the editing 👌
Best mullet man today is Craig Engels, American 1500m runner. Lives in an RV. Drives across country to compete in track meets.
Wonder bread peanut butter only sandwiches 😂😭 you gotta consume A LOT of crystal light

I would bet that Malheiros was coached by an Olympic weightlifting coach.
I really appreciate the attention to technique and your honesty, friend! Helps me as a coach and a lifter! Also it's super engaging. Keep it up!
My understanding is if you push your knees out and put your hips into the external rotation activating more muscle
Everything you said in this is reassuring bc my coaches have pointed out my same flaws as these guys. Thanks for the content
The Brazilian was amazing.. A pleasure to watch
Came for the snatch reviews. Stayed for the Mullet lifestyle critique.
Wonderbread peanut butter only sandwiches!!!!! HAHAH!!!!
I liked the video just for the set-up. I havnt even watched the whole thing LOL
The men seem to have much better form than the women in general, no idea why though.
This has perhaps been the most useful video on snatching, on the internet.
Im from New Zealand, whats wonder bread?🤦♂️😂
Gui won $10k for wearing those nanos in this event.
“Wonder bread peanut butter only sandwich” 🤣🤣
"Isso!!!" literally means "this". Usually used as "thats it!" or "well done"
Medeiros comin' for Zac Efron's spot in Stranger Things.
Zach you know nothing, did you even see that their hands are on the bar and the feet are under the bar!?
Best description of what a mullet person should be like of all time.
8:27 It's that classic Reverse Movement Technology. Hate to see it.
Your hilarious bro, love watching your stuff!!
Why the heck don't they put this event first in the overall sequence of the week?
Do you have any content about Mohamed Ehab’s head positions?
"Loud Feet" is not self explanatory.
nothing too much to say at gui malheiros. Go Brazil!!!
I mean... wtf it that shirt with my nation names on it lmao
What do you say, the Brazilian kid is only 21!!!
Did you imply that someone could split snatch???
Noah Ohlsen using too much reverse technology.
The commentator's head position part is so funny
I appreciate the new screen, makes a real difference :) keep it up!
Haha calling out the announcer was pretty funny
