The couch thread

[climber511]

I know I'm old and I know my memory isn't that great - but I'm pretty sure we didn't have 18 year old's like that when I was young :)

The fact I'm not in prison pretty much proves it.

Are they trying to injure someone, or do they just have no clue whatsoever?

[j-cubed]

They learned from Kevin Ogar, they are not having them lift it overhead.

How many Crossfitters can even deadlift 365lbs, let alone do it 35 times?

[Grandpa's Spells]

They've gradually moved the games towards events that favor the 200+/juiced crowd.

365x35 starting fatigued will injure some spines. I have a feeling this is deliberate.

More photogenic I guess.

[TerryB]

I think they're tired of having women winning the female and male divisions.

[JDub]

Even when I was deadlifting mid 500's I wouldn't have wanted to pull anything for 35 reps. Stupid.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

My buddy, who deadlifts 600-615, finished 18 reps with 315 on that before he ran out of time.

[OCG]

Maybe that's it then? They don't actually expect anyone to be able to do it?

Impressive to gut that out but duck that shit

[syaigh]

The thing is, the ones who gut out that one will be burned out for the next two weeks. There is definitely a strategy to this. A lot of folks bank on coasting through the first three and then killing the last two. That's where the rankings are made.

I agree with your assessment.

Wow...that was terrible to watch.

Kipping Dips: a whole new low.

My favorite of their f...ed up versions is the kipping hand stand pushups.
