And what is wrong with it?
Benching on the floor while limiting the range of motion has it's own benefits.
And the girl deadlifting hasn't grabbed the bar fully yet, so most likely not in final position anyway

>how to spot a crossfitter
>>36286556
>that guy lying on his back doing bench press
how did he get under the bar?
>>36286672
what benefit does a floor press give to someone who appears to not even be benching intermediate weights over doing the actual lift?
>>36286876
Maybe he has back pain?
>>36286672
Also it appears he is doing it without a place to rack the weight when he's done.
>>36286556
>floor press with a barbell
>>36286930
it wouldnt be crossfit if it was safe.
>>36286912
TIL bench press is a back exercise.
>>36286819
>being this retarded
>doesn't lift
Pick two
>>36286982
yeah, doing bench on the floor without a place to rack the bar is totally smart, and safe.
my bad!
Is it possible to do crossfit on your own? Any mocking videos, pics, etc, there's like a group of fifty.
Or is it just funnier to see a group of people being retarded.
>>36286930
Didn't even think of this at first
>bench presser done pressing
>throws bar back into hands of spotter
>spotter curls and cleans the weight in cross fit fashion
>throws it behind him
>woman catches it in air, OHP position
>lowers it down on back and stsrts squatting
>>36286556
What kind of guy sits like that
>>36286589
lmao he's just pretending to be retarded! so funny
>>36286961
Glad to help! Try googling "lower back pain bench press" to get more information on the subject.
Happy lifting!
>>36287045
a powerful one
>>36286999
people did circuit training for decades if not centuries before crossfit tried to turn it into a patented thing
>>36287201
Ah. Gotcha.
Is crossfit the scientology of work out routines?
Fanatic followers
Sucks up money
Denies any neigh sayers even if prevented with concrete evidence against their views?
>>36287045
Pre-op
>>36286999
to officially be doing crossfit you have to join a licensed crossfit gym and they work out in groups.
>>36287225
that's a pretty good way of putting it, but it's far more popular than scientology ever was, and has the added detriment of being bad for your health
crossfitters are proud of being injured. I did a free xfit workout when I was looking for gyms in a new city. The WOD was a bunch of ohp/push press/jerk to failure, then some plyo shit like burpees, then max rep deadlifts with double bodyweight over a 20 minute period. 15 minutes into the deadlifts I tore my hamstring (grade 2) and the instructor said maybe next time I can get through without pussying out
>>36287261
Crossfitters don't actually like working out. It's more of an image thing, that's why they are so stoked about being injured.
>>36286961
But really, return to Reddit at any point.
>>36287045
the douchebags who workout in beanies
>>36287729
Even worse because it's one of those longer ones that looks like foreskin on top of your head.
If I've dropped close to 40lb in the last 3 months doing the F45 program, does that make crossfit a fail?
>>36288286
you are transforming into a crossfitter. regardless of sex, you will transform into a 70kg permainjured idiot with a huge clit.
>>36288401
Don't forget the fish part.
>>36288436
What's the fish part? And why permainjured?
I go 6 days a week, 2 sessions are doubles.
>>36288496
>2 sessions are doubles
ayy, like this post tbhfam
>>36288496
There are 2 types of people that work out 6 days a week with a few or more doubles. People on gear, and people with such limp dick programming that a fucking kindergarten recess hour is a physical challenge.
>>36287261
once a month in the marines they literally forced us to go to the HITT gym which in hindsight was just a crossfit "box" and they said if we didnt feel sharp pains in our knees when we were done then we didnt push ourselves
it honestly doesnt surprise me that the gullible ass fucking stupid marine corps and army got conned into opening crossfit gyms and destroying their property that they spent so much money on, which was us. I still have chronic knee pain and a suspicious pinched nerve in my back that I think was from the sledgehammer drills at their "box"
>>36289720
sounds just like a guy I know who did one tour and had to be discharged. Marine corps made him spend 18 hours on his knees along with 3 other guys. He showed me a scan of his patella and tendons - it is horrifying. You can see that the fibres are almost shredded like string cheese, and they're so warped that some of them even twist around each other. The patella is a jagged lump.
It's criminal, makes me sick that they just shit on them like that. Worst part is that 2 of the 4 of them weren't able to do anything except get driven around in convoy after that for months
>>36289779
>spend 18 hours on his knees along with 3 other guys
the biggest gay blowjob orgy of our time

>>36287012
Underrated post
>>36289779
Wtf was he doing on his knees??
>>36290849
he didn't say. Just that he and 3 other guys were made to kneel as some kind of punishment and the CO didn't let them get up until the next morning. Sounds kinda dubious but I've never seen worse knees than his
>>36287012
Sides ded
>>36290877
He won't say what he did, maybe he deserves it
>>36286672
i thought OP were laughing at the dude's tshirt. i see nothinh else wrong
>>36286930
>>36287012
are you guys stupid or trolling? He can just put the bar on the floor and roll it down
>>36286876
Try it, it's fucking awesome. I fucking hate crossfit (what's the difference between being fit and being crossfit? Crossfit is exercise bingo, and fitness isnt a game...) this is just weights with a bench that distributes force differently.
Feels sooooooo good on where yerr back meets your arms.
Inb4 bullshit, pic attests! is muh testy gf
It: faggots jealous of people who train with women without dik-clits
>>36291749
Holy fuck you need to tell her to tidy a little bit, there is literally stuff all over the place, I hope she isn't like this all the time
Is the floor press an actual legit exercise?
>>36291749
what the fuck is all this shit
women need to be fucking gasses
>>36291749
wtf
her ass is just a big disappointment
>>36286994
>>36291895
It's a floor press man, a legit exercise but about as legit as squatting without a squat rack, you can't ever reach the same weights that someone using a bench and rack will because you will always have to carry the bar over your head.
>>36291330
Sorry I was thinking about people that actually lift that wouldn't have the clearance to get under the bar like that.
>>36293193
You always have the clearance using 45s. And people who don't bench at least 1pl8 don't "actually lift"
>>36294437
Wasn't talking about benching 1 pl8. Bar to floor is 8.75" anyone who actually lifts and is above the adult male cutoff can't clear that.
>>36287261
I have been to a Crossfit gym as well for a trial when I moved to my new place.
The WOD in itself was horrible IMHO, the combination of exercises made no sense to me. But Idrc about that people can work out in whatever way they want.
What really startled me though, was that the so called trainers had no fucking clue about even the most basic weightlifting. People Deadlifted with awful form and the trainer encouraged them to keep "pushing".
One Item on the WOD was muscle-ups. Someone asked what those are, the trainer, no lie, said that he doesn't know how to do them and asked if someone in the group can show.
They take so much money for this elitist marketing. The vanity of people knows no boundaries...
>>36287261
>15 minutes into the deadlifts I tore my hamstring
top kek my brother attended to a guy literally still in his workout clothes, in his late 20s-early 30s, who was rushed to the emergency room only to be declared DOA.
Yes he was doing crossfit. Immediate cause of death was a heart attack.
>>36294660
I said 1pl8 as a reference to set the height of the bar. You don't have to necessarily rest it on your chest, lol. Of course you can normally put it down with full sized plates.
>>36295262
Regardless if any part of your body can clear it or where you rest it, it's safer and more efficient to use a rack or have a spotter.
>>36295262
>defending floor presses
you may as well be doing quarter reps you faggot.
>>36291749
Lameass shower curtain
>>36291749
Does your girlfriend not understand how to close a shower curtain or drawers?
>>36291330
you cant spell functional without fun, anon.
>>36295355
Not defending. Just saying that the lack of rack is not an issue. Therefore there's nothing wrong with OP's pic and whole thread is stupid.
>>36287261
The manager at my gym who just got fired is a crossfitter. He also is a literal cuck and says shit like my wife's son, not even memeing.
He would brag to me about how xfitter work outs are named after women because they're supposed to be viscous like them?
Then told me the formula is something like a circuit of an oly lift, a HIIT thing, then some body weight.
I told him he was dumb and he will hurt himself, sure enough he dropped the bar on his spine doing power snatches.
I think its good they have popularized weightlifting, but they have done it in a NFL vs Soccer kind of way.
The rest of the world plays a civilized technique driven sport, while we had to make up our own complicated dangerous one because we're too stupid or shitty at it.
>not going to buy rogueshit despite being made in the US because I don't want to support crosshit
>>36291749
zero ass f.am
>>36295658
To be fair a lot of what crossfit does is technique driven. They just happen to disregard technique.
>>36295715
jesus why would you do that
>>36295744
>2016
>doesn't know about team oly lifts
TOP FUCKING KEK
>>36289720
tfw when physically fit enough to join a special unit but too scared to ruin my body and having to suffer for the rest of my life
i really like the "vehicle" im spending my life in, how can i make sure i will not critically hurt myself in a special unit. im not even talking about getting shot or some shit, im afraid some fuckwit drill instructor will fuck up my tendons and cripple me for life just to conclude im not "tough" enough.
>>36286876
The most major advantage is that it doesn't require as much equipment. (ie the bench itself)
>>36296083
the major advantage is that it's easier and makes autist think they are developing any meaningful strength
