Watch Donald Trump Junior PR His Deadlift

[Demosthenes]

Oh...you mean that video of obama doing that combo step-up dumbbell curl with the 8lb crome weighs?

Yes. Bumper plates are just as pathetic.

He is one strong guy

I said Donald Trump Jr. is a strong guy!

His only flaw is he’s a crossfitter...and it shows.

Not horrible, it looks like it could be close to double BW, and he didn't hitch or spaz out mid point. If you played with his form a bit to get a better start, he'd probably have more pounds in him. Seems like he's more of an endurance guy from the couple of fitness article I've read.

a clenched fist celebration?

No I didn't. I've always taught that choosing "CrossFit" is for idiots. (waiting for the Trump spin)

Crossfit has become such a HUGE thing, that its almost like EVERYONE is doing cross-fit (exaggerated for effect).

The fact is, people just don't want to go to the gym and lift weights. They find it boring. Crossfit gives them an option to exercise while having fun. I am guessing this is one of the reasons why crossfit became so huge.

Shoulder and knee surgeries are much more relaxing.

This.

Crossfit is for people who want to do "something" but don't want to take the time or effort into learning and doing things correctly and combining proper form with basic body mechanics.  Then when they hurt themselves, they wear the blown shoulders or knees like a badge of honor.  And of course tell you every five minutes about how it doesn't stop them from continuing. 

[SF1900]

If it takes steroids to "deadlift" 375 lbs, one should just kill themselves.

I give JR a 185 deadlift max with proper form.  Pretty horrible. 

120 lb girls are deadlifting 405 all day long without drugs.

True Adonis, in your opinion, how much should one deadlift that would be considered impressive?

I don't think people who crossfit just want to do "something." I think they are hoping that they could have fun, get in shape, and learn proper lifting techniques, hence why they do crossfit and all those other types of workouts (tough mudder races). For many people, traditional weight lifting/bodybuilding is boring. People want something different, which is why other forms of exercise are blowing up. I guess its just finding someone who is knowledgeable.

I never asked them what was driving them, but your explanation sounds plausible. However, observing them, they give me the impression that they're neurotic & nervous members of a cult. They're obsessed by the number of pounds they're 'lifting' (well.. moving) and by the stopwatch on the wall.

[ratherbebig]

yes they need not to obsess over number of pounds or the stopwatch

they need to obsess over grainyness, shredded glutes, arm size, lat to waist ratio etc as normal people!!!

This time I agree with you, thanks

I'm going with this as well.

[tres_taco_combo]

good for him

PRs are always fun to set.

500 should be the average bench mark to hit for any lifetime natural lifter.  Impressive would be anything over 650.

I don't think they enter Crossfit worrying about the numbers of pounds or the stop watch. I think its the result of not knowing better.

But, I think its obvious that people are doing crossfit and other forms of exercise because they are jaded by traditional lifting and are looking for something different.

Hopefully these people can find a crosffit trainer or coach who can steer them in the right direction.

Bold part -> Which is why call them members of a cult.

When I see their schedules on the white board (i.e. their 'altar'), they pretty much limit themselves, since almost every machine/isolation movement is forbidden by their 'bible'.
Anyway, to each his own, and I hope they stay free from injuries (with their kamikaze movements)
