The above video was interesting.

Khalipa and Lipson are pretty damn strong, though Lipson was squatting high as fuck. Castro doesn't lift weights very often, and you can tell. His form is, to put it mildly, fucking terrible in the squat and deadlift, and his press is really weak. He gets folded up like a cheap suit in every squat. Tons of hitching in the deadlift, though, only the light ones would have passed in a PL meet. I will say that Castro humping the deadlift bar like a monkey fucking a football for 20+ seconds was a good effort, although I'm surprised he didn't blow out his back on that one.

We all want to be fit. Sometimes we try exercise programs, diets and even relaxation methods to be fit. However, there has to be a way to get seriously fit. There has to be a total workout that tones and works the entire body. That workout needs to be done on a regular basis. It shouldn't be too strenuous, but it should be a workout that gets the heart beating and the blood pumping. This is the real way to get seriously fit. A perfect workout should include some weight lifting, power walking or running, and agility training that will get you jumping higher.

The following workout is excellent for working the entire body.

The first part of the workout is the warm-up. Jump rope for two minutes. The purpose of this is to get the heart rate up. Then, do two sets of twenty jumping jacks. Now jump rope again for another two minutes. This completes the warm-up. It's really very simple.

The next part of the workout is cardio. Instead of buying a treadmill or stair climber, this workout will give the same benefits. All it takes is a stairway and a driveway. First, run up and and walk down the stairs for four minutes. Run up the driveway and walk back down for four minutes. Repeat these activities for two or three more times.

Get your finances fit, too! Consider buying a short term car insurance policy instead of a full year, it could save you a lot of money! And, if you're young you may want to look at a specialist young driver's car insurance policy.

Weight training is the next step. You can use those simple hand weights. If you don't own those, you can find things around the house that will serve the same purpose. Canned goods will work for this. Just be sure that the two cans weigh the same. Using the hand weights, or cans, do twenty repetitions of the bicep curl. This is done by keeping the elbows at your sides and raising your hands to your shoulders. Then return your hands back down to the side of the body.

For weight training, the next part will be twenty repetitions of the overhead press. Raise your hands over your head and lower them down to your shoulders. Then raise them back up again making your arms straight.

The last part of the weight training is the chest press. This should also be done in twenty repetitions. Move your arms out horizontally to the side at a 90-degree angle. Pull them back in to your shoulders and then do it again.

This workout is almost finished. Now do 20 repetitions of tricep dips. Using your couch, keep your feet on the floor and your hands right on the edge of the couch. Then move your body up and down. After these repetitions, do twenty lunges. Be sure to alternate the feet.

The last part is the easiest and the most relaxing. It's the cool down. A cool down is very important because it cools you off slowly and gradually and lets the muscles tone. It also brings the heart level down to its' normal rate. The best cool downs are doing yoga or pilates. Get a DVD and play one of these right in your own home.

That is the whole workout. It can condition, tone and work the entire body. It's not a real strenuous workout, but a workout that takes care of all the important parts. Do this workout five times a week and the improvements will begin soon enough.

Exercise is just one very important part of getting seriously fit. Eating right is also part of that. It takes common sense to avoid foods with a lot of fat, cholesterol, are deep fried, high in calories, and high in sodium and sugar. That doesn't mean you have to avoid them all of the time, but most of the time. Everyone wants to have a treat once in a while. The important thing to remember is quantity. Never overdo any type of food. Also, eat lots of fruits, vegetables, grains and other foods with fiber.

If you smoke, quit. No matter what kind of exercise you do, a smoker will never get the full benefit of a workout the way a non-smoker does. Avoid too much alcohol and don't do drugs.

Keeping up with these good habits will keep you healthy, have a better quality of life, and keep you seriously fit for as long as you live.

The other two guys had really solid first attempts on stuff. Kahlipas first overhead was very legit as was his first two squats and the first pull. not world beating but stronger than most guys here and he weighs what? 190-200? at most.

Lipson's squats were high, but not freak-show never gonna happen high, with a set of critical training partners that guy would be dunking 500 and pulling 605 with no hitch in short order. forgetting that it's crossfit, it's three dudes fucking around for a camera and each of them had at least one lift that are nothing to snort at.

I might be done with this crap.

I know what you're feeling, CM...unless something is really good, it's not worth the time anymore.

This is awful. Now I have some motivation to start pulling some weight.
