Behind the Scenes 2011: CrossFit Games, Part 1
Спорт
Join Sevan Matossian as he follows athletes, judges, spectators, and staff at the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games, providing a look at what goes on before, during, and after the events. In Part 1, Matossian chronicles the first event of the weekend: Beach.
Director of Training Dave Castro arrives at the Santa Monica Pier early Friday morning. The athletes assemble and provide their impressions of the event ahead of them.
"The challenge is going to be, are you going to panic while you're out there or are you just going to do what you're supposed to do? You trained all year for this thing, man. The last thing you want to do is have your head get in a weird space," CrossFit flowmaster and Games judge Chuck Carswell says.
Before the event begins, Josh Bridges questions his chances of winning.
"This is out of my comfort zone, so we'll see how it goes," he says. "I hate running and swimming, so it should be pretty fun."
After finishing the challenge in third place with a big smile on her face, original nasty girl Annie Sakamoto says, "To me, this is the epic way to kick the whole thing off: at the beach, in the saltwater. I couldn't ask for more."

Lucas Parker with no beard!!! Looks 15 years younger
Anyone here in 2021 just before the Open?
48:05 when you give your presentation and you're not prepared.
20:14 that hug though
Watching in 2021 like :0
everyone trying to play the role of "i'm here by accident"
No way ! 4:47 Lucas Parker ?
30:19 Bosman in a hat, naked, blank slate (without tattoos)
One hour of crossfit goodness... f*** yeah!
i hope they do the behind the scenes again, its really cool
all the athletes and guys running it seem like really cool people
This sport is impressive
I see myself like the athlete who coudn't finish swimming . It all started one day when i decided to swim deep the ocean and got tired inside and panicked because strong current. Now i still those panic attacks when i swim deep the ocean , it just happened last summer and it sucks especially for someone who has been swimming endurance since the age of 10 .
You don't often see Mikko shirtless... the man is a beast.
18:00 he pretty accurately predicts the outcome, kinda cool. its not easy to gauge the opposition well.
Josh Bridges: "I hate running and swimming" lol Hooyah Brother!
Dan Bailey's signature his spit
There are simply no unattractive CrossFitters.
WHO IS BETTER?NAVY SEALS OR CROSSFIT?
14:20 BEN!!!!!! What a young gun! (:
How is Rocco Reed?? or AKA Joshua Luke brume??
Mikko's only weakness is his ear drum.
is Chastity Slone the judge that appears at 42:06?
Guy at 5:45 is a spitting image of Jonne Koski
what kind of watch is castro wearing?
Because it stirs up traditional thinking of working out with strict proper form, and it messes with so many different grand sports like weightlifting and gymnastics and puts it into one bowl. That is fact, but that is also why it is so damn funny! :) (a small part may also be old fashioned envy)
chuck = the denzel washington of crossfit
Does anyone know the cross-fitter doing push-ups at 28:50?
Haha I like to imagine when bridges is doing the air squats at @29:40 that hes a little kid on a trampoline that you just cant see
Funny how Dan talks about his running and in recent videos when he's being taught pose running the instructor is like "ALL WRONG!". Goes to show that you need to always be open mind and teachable.
Great impersonation of Camille 47:38 ;)
@4:43 Lucas Parker looks so different without the beard... We need the epic beardness!
Didn't even recognize Lucas Parker!
rob orlando is just a beast @ 22:14
9:24 Camille xD
because most of the community in crossfit is a veteran or military service member, thats why.
lets just this thing started eh
Josh Bridges "this is out of my comfort zone" He only does this type of stuff every day as a seal >.>
27:47 - 53 the dude in the back.. "Haters gon hate"
LUCAS PARKER WITHOUT BEARD 4:44! :D
30:19 - 'Hey Boz! You got the time?'
Lucas looks SO much different without the beard!
why is it that every cross fit video on you tube only have fit looking, buff muscular men in it and not your average/overweight joe? Is cross fit only for for fit people?

probably because most video's are only of the advanced athlete's. Don't take this the wrong way, crossfit is for everybody! I have people in my box ranging from 16 to 60..

+Eugene McOck they are fit more fitter then you stupid
is it just me or does cross fit mould a specific body type in terms of muscular build? All the guys here have similar looking chest , shoulders,back, arms muscles
NOT COLD?
feel sorry for Mikko before the workout knowing how it ends for him
austin has the body of a ninja turtle haha
Man, I can do whatever the FUCK I wanna do!
Well, drug tested and drug free are two different things. Just because they test doesn't mean they enforce anything. I am not hating and yes this type of training has been tested many times with high level athletes. The science doesn't change on how the body reacts to this type of training. This event in the video is an endurance event, no doubt. They are actually the size of many true natural bodybuilders, just not as lean.
Do you even lift?
Haha, I would expect most of SEAL training to be a traumatic experience with water! Maybe you're right.
THIS is where Mikko ruptured his eardrum! Holy crap that sucks
I never knew that you could kip a push-up..
Because you need to confuse your muscles. You can't just lift all the time. You have to mix it up or your body will get use to it.
Lucas Parker pre beard
Casually saw Castro's pin entry whilst buying fuel...
A real natural bodybuilder couldn't do this much endurance work and hope to maintain any size. You would have to use some type of sports performance drug to inhibit the affects of the stress hormones. That is why there are various modes of training to achieve different goals such as strength, power, endurance and hypertrophy.
@trecuck clean and jerk the truck lol
Nothing to say I see?
Red bull is not paleo, Castro.
@dblacky1977 It's like a peach with no hair.. a naked peach
Brandon Pastorek is the shit
and people who arent veterans, are around them when they train. Oh and who really gives a FUCK, as long as you have fun and are a good person.
Why? What you don't understand is that crossfit is about movement efficiency, how efficiently can you lift you weight above a bar. Your claim would be like saying "Using your hips to throw a ball or punch is stupid as fuck".
Because you see much higher injury statistics, compared to regular weightlifting. Most people would consider that "ok" as long as crossfit brings something that weightlifting and cardio doesn't. Sadly it doesn't, plus most crossfit advocates act like cult members, listening blindly and hating others (just like everyone does that are close minded lol)
How does a former SEAL hate the water?
why are the two bearded guys looking down?
Saucefit.
Yes there is hard work involved here with these guys, no doubt. The fact remains that some of these guys are on something. You can get lean and ripped doing Crossfit but you can't maintain any size. What would be interesting is to track some of their body fat/lean tissue over the course of a year doing this type of training. Sorry, you can't maintain muscular size doing endurance work and that is what this is. Steroids will blunt the negative effects of this type of training. Do they test?
Camille is such a babe.
LUCAS PARKER BEARDLESS
that water is a breeding ground for great whites. brave.
46:29 da fuq, is that a guy or a girl.
28:12 - 28:20 how not to pullup
This is hilarious. Your muscles don't have conscious thoughts. The reason for splitting exercises is so the muscles have time to rest and rebuild while you work a different group. That way when you go back to working those muscles you can put your 100% in again.
You really couldn't figure out something better to say?
Cross fit alone will not make you look very aesthetic. It is obvious these cross fitters do some bodybuilding style lifts to remain looking this way. If you did crossfit only, you would not look like you actually train. Just my belief.

Naah man. The combo of medium/high rep wods mixed with their powerlifting will get you jacked. Strength Training alone will put on considerable mass. Deadlifting, squatting, pressing, oly lifting, they do everything through a variety of rep ranges. Try it for a year.
cuz you think youre all upper level and superior to everybody. Please tell me how natural you all are 44:00
Wonder why Ben Smith has inflamed nipples? Thats weird.
WTF! Is that a man or a woman!?
Americans are so weird about Speedos...they're just Speedos people!
they are obviously cheaters ..drug users...You cant tell?
This could quite possibly be one of the "Unhealthy" sports out there. Taking Anabolic Steroids, and grossly overtraining are not exactly healthy. Please look at these guys and gals....they are from "Natty"! I used to compete as a natural bodybuilder...and yes I won shows. With the aforementioned being said, I respect guys like Rich Fronin, and Baily. They undoubtedly work there tails off, however I wonder how their bodies will respond 10 years down the road?
