After watching event 1 I think that our collective crossfit focus has shifted too much towards strength and neglected aerobic and endurance training. Almost all of the top performers that we have enjoyed watching over the last few years have added significant muscle mass since 2009, but I think event 1 showed that there is a price to be paid for that extra size. The athletes this year are unbelievably strong, and their work capacity is off the chart, but can we honestly call ourselves the fittest on earth when a one mile run reduces us to walking? Or the fastest athlete took almost 10 minutes to cover the distance? Would an outsider watching event 1 have agreed that these are the fittest on the planet? I have nothing but respect for these athletes, and I'm really enjoying the games, but just curious if anyone else thinks that our programming has overemphasized strength training to the neglect of aerobic conditioning.

I've seen the local fucks do shitty cleans with 155, slam the bar down, and walk off like they did something impressive.

Whoa now. I have breathed fire for pocket change in a past life and I can still hit the mid 300's for 10. Let's not lump all the fags in one bundle.
In all reality, the comments coming from the Gaymes is like a text-based train wreck of epic proportions.

They should have put little TV sets in front of each bike and given the exercisers headphones.

July 30:The X-Games may make the most noise. But on Monday morning, we have a feeling that more people are going to wake up talking about the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games. They'll talk about its week of amazing events, the level of athleticism of its feature athletes, the mach speed of its growth, and the deafening noise that a five year old sport made during the weekend of one of ESPN's most marketed sports. Games on.

...Here is a scene prior to the third event of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games. How does this photo speak to you? What thats do you have about it? Leave your thoughts below.
