  • Here you go.

    1."Bar may stop during ascent, and then continue to top, but no downward motion."
    2."Bar must remain motionless at top."
    3."Shoulders must be aligned with hip joint from side view at lockout."
    4."Failure to lock knees at top, or re-bending of knees at top is not permitted."
    5."Supporting bar on thighs, hitching or walking bar up legs is not permitted."
    6."Stumbling or taking a step with foot is not permitted."
    7."Intentional dropping or not maintaining control with both hands when bar is returning to platform is not permitted."


    How she passed the lift is beyond me. Buying out Judge, best friend is judging, the judge is blind, I don't know.

    Those are the CF Games rules? In that case, yeah, that lift should have been no-repped really hard.

    it's possible she wasnt. i watchd part of the games and there were events where people were penalized for non reps by having to run a lap. so just because she moved on from the bar doesnt mean she moved forward to whatever was next

    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"

    Is that a serious answer on their rules? Or are you joking?

    I'm curious b'coz if yes, may be, jus' maybe it makes sense of the high injury rate coming from this sport.

    I thought I heard the commentators saying "it's clean!!!!!" (some some incredulity it sounded like)

    The injury rate from this is high? How high is it? What is the injury rate, exactly? And how does the injury rate from cf compare to those from running, powerlifting, regular lifting, tennis, etc?

    Jus' this one time helping you with google search results. I would highly recommend asking them the questions. I'm just a reader and get news from them

    ETA - No More comments from my end w.r.t to this thread and would be a waste of my time. Out of here.

    Why flounce after posting such a helpful Google query? Don't you want to continue helping people?

    I followed your link....could you direct me to the link that provides rate of injury information and compares it to other athletic endeavors?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think basketball is one of the highest injury sports with just knee impact injuries and jammed fingers.

    wow a post made to flame bait .. and a mod gets in on the fire.. nice mfp.

    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.

    I think the point was that he is a MFP Mod, flaming a post.

    Classless post is classless.
    Not liking something is considered a flame?

    Do you understand what flame baiting is?

    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,

    Except that niner has many previous posts in which he is critical of Crossfit, and then says, carefully, "but I am not bashing crossfit."
    C'mon. You expect me, or anyone else, to believe that it never crossed Warchortle's mind, when he posted this, that it might antagonize people who do Crossfit, given all the antagonism that exists toward Crossfit in the weight-lifting community?
    He is clearly not that dense...

    Here you go. The injury rate is similar to Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting and gymnastics at 73.5%. But the shoulder injury is higher than that of Olympic weightlifting

    I believe that survey also says that the injury rate is less than most sports -- including tennis and running.

    Much appreciated.

    1. Is this the study that was commissioned by a competing certification organization that used suspect methodology to reach it's conclusions and is currently being sued for slander. But not positive. I guess it could be a different one. I admit to being too lazy to verify.

    2. If I am to believe this study, cf has the same injury rates as weightlifting? So...a fitness endeavor that revolves around lifting has a similar injury rate as....lifting? Well, this is certainly shocking information. Wait, there's more. The injury rate is in line with all fitness pursuits.

    Well now, I'll go rally the troops and we'll start trolling every single thread of F&E so that we can warn them of the dangers of....regular exercise.

    Thanks, Dav. People need to be informed. You are absolutely right. Seems we might be better off with the heart disease and diabetes, than with activity. With those two it takes 10 years or so before you need surgery or start to lose body parts.
    How's your deadlift form, by the way? Always perfect, I hope.
    We deadlifted at our Crossfit gym yesterday. My son -- who has ever only weight-trained with Crossfit -- had a one-rep-max deadlift of 385 pounds. The gym owner, who is about 5'8" and, maybe, 175 pounds, picked up 445 pounds.
    Funny. I thought you could not get strong doing Crossfit, especially since the form Crossfitters use is always so bad.
    P.S. Dav, I am flaming the others, really, not you, of course.
