Oh for fuck's sake, I clicked through 10 videos and none of them were legit snatches. If you're going to do something with such obviously shitty technique why not kettlebell swings?

Fer the record, these are what snatches look like you pansy ass manchildren. I'll even post the 77s so you lurking fucks have something decent to emulate if you can get your body weight up to 77 kilos on 4 blocks or whatever. FUCK.

Holy fuck that was horrible. She wasn't even trying to do a snatch. I hate these people. The music is horrible too.

And I still don't understand why none of the men are able to wear shirts.

I clicked on the link, and the first video that showed up had the girl doing shit-double unders and snatches.
This is the starting position of one of her first snatch reps.

One of my favorite things about @Fit is the RD (Random Douche) who watches over these women like some kind of cargo shorted sensei. "The slop is strong with this one Couch Vader".

That is outrageous! I got a kink in my back from watching the first set, could not finish watching. Hurt too much. Unbelievable!

Well, either way she strikes me as a fine young lady of high character. Just high enough to take cell phone pictures and put them on the internet.

Nice work this week as always by the way.

If you didnt video it with a dude in cargo shorts timing you, it doesn't count.

I finally watched the video. Horrible. But strangely enough I have a lot of the same exercises in my training as the local @fitters. The main difference is my movements actually look right and I have quite a bit more weight on the bar.

So, let me see if I understand the brilliance of this scam:

1) Get 1000s and 1000s of people to pay $20+ to submit a workout video for the "gaymes"
2) Build a shitty website that cannot possibly handle all the traffic
3) Have 1000s and 1000s of people unable to join, submit times/video, who are angry at the lack of transparency and communication from CFHQ who BTW, have ALL already had their credit cards charged.
4) ?????
5) Profit

All told, that's a thread with about 2400 posts of people bitching and complaining.

Eleet Fail.

Can't figure out if the registration cost is $10 or $20, but with 30,000 registrants we're talking between a quarter mil and a half million bucks for people to send in videos of themselves jumping ropes.

And judging by the utter ineptitude of the site, I doubt the web devs are being paid more than few grand.

What could possibly go wrong with an online fitness competition managed by Crossfit HQ?

At the current pace the Games' own site will tie the couch thread for total number of bitter, venomous posts and total pageviews by April 2nd. Who ever thought we'd see the day?

Getting the affiliates to pony up a grand apiece for an imaginary insurance policy worked great, why not ask for another grand for imaginary IT infrastructure upgrades?

I've got to say, this whole "open" thing is a pretty sweet deal for them. IT infrastructure is probably, in the end, a whole lot less costly than running actual events AND gets a lot more people paying in. Plus it has the "credibility" factor of everybody qualifying by doing the same thing. One thing @Fit is good at is marketing and turning a profit. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

This guy is fucking awesome!

Dairus B Wow you all are a bunch of whining sissies! By the sound of your cry baby complaints Im guessing your like me, a nobody who doesnt have a shot. A real athlete doesnt whine and complain. Where else in the history of sport do you have a chance like this? The road of the first person to do something, like CF is doing here, is always the hardest. It will get better each week. You whinners seem to think that there is no learning curve, quit crying. You dont hear anyone in the top 100 complaining so you should quit crying and model yourself after the true athletes in this competition and enjoy the fact that you are on the same playing field as Miko, Speal, Froning, Annie, and all the other non-sissy real CF athletes. Shut up and let CF learn how to make history. Babies...
