      +Erwan Compes Did you watch the video? They train hard man, steroids or not. I think they might be on steroids but I don't think it's necessarily their fault... If you're preparing to write a huge, important test, and you know everyone else is going to cheat and have a distinct advantage over you, you're probably gonna want to cheat too. It's not impossible that they're natty, unlikely, but either way, their training volume and dedication is beyond admirable. They also motivate thousands of people to turn their lives around in terms of fitness. I respect them.

    I honestly feel like crossfit athletes have the greatest sense of humour. Maybe it's the sport. Maybe it's all these great "behind the scenes" videos where you get to know people. But they always seem so funny and alive. Also the hosts from the update show. And I'm not even native english speaker. Must be the sport.

    Noahs muscle ups are the best iv seen from a crossfitter. Just shows what a gymnastic background can do

    • @Hoehihoh
      @Hoehihoh 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, he has very pretty muscle ups. But he doesn't have a gymnastics background. He swam and played water polo.
      Should be interesting to see a one by one comparison of crossfitters doing bar muscle ups when they're not fatigued. I'm guessing many of them would look pretty good, some not so much (especially the taller, heavier athletes).

    • @ColandCo
      @ColandCo 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The majority of athletes who can do body weight exercises well can do bar muscles as effeciently. Don't generalize "Crossfitter" when you don't actually know anything.

    • @MichaelCronan49
      @MichaelCronan49 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      All im saying is that majority of crossifitters dont do muscles ups as efficient or as clean as Noah. It was just an observation and it is because Noah Ohlsen did gymnastics when he was growing up therfore is a lot more efficient at controlling his body weight that someone who did not do gymnastics. This is a trend i see where crossfit is going. I think in the future the games etc will focus a little more on complex gymnastic movement.

    • @Hoehihoh
      @Hoehihoh 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike Cronan I told you before and I'll tell you again, he never did any gymnastics before crossfit.
      I agree that a gymnastics background can help heaps, but right now, I don't know of any male games level crossfitter who has one.
      It's different with the girls though. I'd guess about a third if not more of the top level female competitors have done gymnastics before crossfit, And they do really well at the gymnastics type events.

And Daddy Dan Bailey still tries to get all his calories from Broccoli and is rehabbing an injury and will not be at the games...And Rich and Hillary Fronning have added another blessing to their family....God has Blessed you all...What's next for Crossfit?

    The bottom line is you have to put in the work to get the results. You can't do "CrossFit" for 6 months and think you have a chance at making it to the Games. These athletes have been putting their sole effort into all of the things that make a CrossFit athlete for years and many of them don't even make it to the Games. If anyone has aspirations to make it into this elite circle of individuals I would suggest you set your sights far into the future...even if you have made it to Regionals or even dominated local comps. Take your game up a level and realize there is a whole set of individuals out classing you as we speak. Use that as fuel to outdo them. The limits of the human body have not been breached so easily. Chase that. Fight for it. Find it. That is all I have to say to you.
