Difference between someone who has rowed on the water and one who has only been on the machine is clearly evident hear. The extremely early back break on the cross fitter brings tears to my eyes :)

Not fair to the rower as the 250m rows are too short. Go for 1000 or 2000 on the end and it would be more of a fair fight A 250 m distance only separates the poor rowers from the good ones by a few seconds because it's too short. Even poor rowers who are reasonably fit can muscle their way through a 250. Also, body weight exercises like pull ups favor smaller/shorter people and taller people are also at more of a disadvantage on oly lifts like cleans/thrusters because they have to lift through more distance which is just more work. Double unders are also a skill primarily - less about fitness. But even there, shorter people have more of an advantage there as well since they are dealing with a shorter rope.

Make it be on the water and crossfitter has 0 change. On the machine is just so different and obviously requires way less technique, which is where the rower would win immediately (I mean, obviously it's impossible to expect someone who was never on the water before to have a chance)

I love how no one here is supporting the cross fitter. And I definitely see why. If you are a rower too you would know that most of the stuff is arms in this competition and rowers have the legs

The requirements were set for the workout, the exercise was not strict pull ups, it was CrossFit’s definition of a legal kipping pull up rep. The guidelines were set for this particular workout and both athletes were allowed to perform the exercises however they wish providing they meet the particular guidelines. The demo started reps are what the athlete/s decided to do and what they felt worked best for them. The rules were followed and the reps were performed correctly and efficiently. If you don’t like then official guidelines and requirements for reps in the sport of CrossFit, there are plenty of other sports and competitions that have different work requirements, go watch one of them instead of hosting on this modern sport.

This was really just a CrossFit guy beating a non-CrossFit guy. The fact that the other guy was a rower became inconsequential once he started doing high-intensity lifting right before the erg race. The lactic acid and stress is already at a point where the aerobic work is probably not sustainable, so you are far less likely to see a thrashing victory from the rower. That said, I remember my brief time at a CrossFit gym involving a competitive CF athlete and trainer who was taller and heavier than me (and probably took steroids), but he was so confused about how a guy so much smaller than him could be scoring so much better on the erg. If you rowed through your teens then you might have impressive sport-specific leg and upper-back muscle endurance even years after you quit the sport and work behind a desk 24/7.

The reason I think this is an inaccurate test of who is more athletic is because they had a rower vs a crossfitter do a crossfit workout. If they would have them compete in a rowing workout such as 20x1min on 1 min rest whoever gets the most meters wins the crossfitter would be 1000m behind

Ahahahaha I'm dead what were those crossfitter's pull-ups?😂😂

The rower was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. The crossfitter pull ups looked like a joke. Why swing your entire body to gain momentum !!!! Rower Wins in my Books

The WOD is not fair to the rower. The row should have been at least 1000m at the beginning and the end. Pull ups, if you dont butterfly, you lose time. The WOD has to be even.

Amir Uddin agreed. 250m is nothing, and the crossfitter is much better at small burst sets and would definitely lose holding 2 1k's against the rower

The only thing that bothers me about cross fit is that there is no consistency of form. Real life and actual competition are not so forgiving.

Contest set up for cross fit to win. Very little rowing involved. And ya, a 1:36 split for only 250 meters is not optimum for a young rower. At 47 years old that time would not be acceptable to me. A big guy this young should be able to destroy me in any erg contest.

Not fair to the rower. 250m is bothering. The crossfitter beat him because crossfit involves small burst of energy. At least make it a 1k

Quite imprecise. How can you measure to different persons properly and exactly?

Sehr geiles Video Erwin! Bei mir kommt a bald ein Video vom Staatsmeister im Freestyle Kajaking Oli! (;

250 meters x2 , was quit unfair. Fair would be about half of the time rowing, and the other half doing other crossfit stuff. Maybe 450 meters x2, would be more appropriate

Get a rower who is currently a rower because that 'rower' had 0 endurance

He's 25 but has the confidence of a 40 year old man

25 pull ups after all that!? Haha I need to get in shape!

"That was a hard 250 meters" - no one ever

If the erg was longer the rower would've had a better shot...

This Challenge needs to increase the length of the rows to 500 or 750m in order to make the rowing portion ratio equal to all the "crossfit" exercises. The 250's were :45 secs ea.? WTF? Like triathlon it is rigged for the runner. Swimming is only a small portion of the events and therefore makes Swimming a non-factor. Even bikers get screwed.

Haha if this guys has ever been in a row boat I am really glad I didn't had to row with him

What the actual fuck were those pill ups

the chin-ups look like interpretive dance

what are these burpees...

6:11 whats that? tarzan style? ;)

Not sure the point of this. The rower said he does CrossFit not. And the cross fitter probably rows as part of his routine. So this was a cross fitter vs a cross fitter. 🤦🏾‍♂️

It’s so sad that CrossFit has the need to show us the dominance over Olympic sports . I see some people competing in random stuff just for fun.

1.that's not a rower look at his weak legs it is impossible for a rower and he is rowing wrong. 2. cmooon that is called pullups?

those burpies for crossfit tho...

It doesn’t make any sense. It is clear that rower can’t perform proper clean or even DU nor butterfly pull ups. The last one really speeds up!!! He lacks on technique not on endurance.

pull ups not swing ups

really annoyed by how crossfit is making those kipping pull ups a norm

Wtf? I’m only ducking 15 and can row 250 faster than that
