Loving these videos where the coaches not only brief the workout but also demonstrate!

Wide feet stance! Wide grip with arms! A big no for heavy DL! The closer to the body the havier you can push!

[@Sallymanda]

Looks like she's using a lot of back in her lifts.
You can tell by watching the hips and shoulders at the start of the lift. If the shoulders rise at a faster rate than the hips, it's usually an indicator that they're pulling with their back rather than pushing with their legs.
Could also be that she's doing a straight leg deadlift though.

How do you hold the weight with double over hand grip?

How tall is STEPHANE?
It's nice to see a taller guy doing the movements!

I am obese 270 lbs 5’7! I need to get in shape. Can fat men do CrossFit?

[@spencergsmith]

Anyone can do CrossFit!! 👍🏼

[@zebfross]

Yes! just scale everything as much as you need. You can scale weight, time, reps. Just make sure you're working 👍

Hiller would be proud

[@boobtube1212]

Is it me or does it appear that he is doing more of a squat? Perhaps his leg length is deceiving me?

[@derkryptopreneur]

She is cheating...uses the bounce on the ground! 😂

[@robs1714]

I see one person doing RDL’s and the other doing deadlifts

[@IdyllicMullet]

They are both clearly doing a normal deadlift. Neither of those are RDLs

[@robs1714]

@@IdyllicMullet clearly? CLEARLY???? Really?????

[@IdyllicMullet]

@@robs1714 yeah. You can see both of them press with their legs and hinge at the hips with every rep. Her second and third sets are filmed from the front so it's deceiving
