    If that's considered a "clean" deadlift in CF games, then criteria is low level. Kinda disheartening.

    EDIT: This isn't a bash against doing CF. It's an opinion on the criteria of what's considered a clean deadlift in the CF games.

    I get the biggest kicks out of those kipping pullups they do. AND how do you know if someone does CrossFit? They'll tell you.

    regardless of my thoughts on Crossfit, Elizabeth Akinwale is one of my sheroes.

    I watched part of the games and I think they are fairly hilarious because they are just testing how good you are at exercising which made me wonder why there isnt something like Zumba games or Cardio kickbox games?

    He's not flaming CF, he's flaming that awful DL. An awful DL is an awful DL regardless of it's a PL'r, CF'r, or casual gym goer.

    niner isn't like that at all. Take a pill. You must be a CF'r to draw such butt-hurt from that comment. LOL

    I do and I am not seeing it either...... Offering an opinion in regards to this individual form in doing a dead lift in this case at a Crossfit event is not flame baiting,

    I think he's saying that the OP was the one flame baiting by offering a video of a terrible DL that counted in the crossfit games. The intent of the post was to get people riled up. What other purpose could the OP have had? It's just funny because that's rather obvious to most people but not a forum mod (someone who should be able to see these things) who took the bait that the flame baiter left for us. Niner didn't flame bait; he just fell for it.

    Does anyone know what the actual rules are for a "good" lift at this particular event?

    Apparently they are "get it about 90% of the way, twitch a bit, and drop it"
