Author Topic: CrossFit - Rich Froning Snatches 300 Pounds (Read 17021 times)

What's interesting is that Froning has an unnatural aptitude for the Snatch, it's within #50 of his C/J. His other lifts aren't huge either. You don't see that in many people.

Strangely I had this exact conversation someone on a crossfit board on another site about this video...

Strangely you didn't address the fact that I showed you what the definition of "sport" is. Care to comment tubby?

Well, if that's the definition then its a sport. I put it right up there with synchronised swimming and curling.

Equates to 5'7 in a good pair of heels.

So he snatches 300 fairly easily, but can only back squat 435?

Jadeveon Clowney · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:39:50 PM »

Well, a dictionary is a wonderful thing perhaps you should check one out in between training all the top level athletes that you do. You will find the differences between 'wear' and 'ware' in there too. I am sure that the synchronized swimmers and curlers are now in mourning over the fact that you don't think much of their sport. Ever been to an Olympics Joe? Or is posing in a thong the closest thing to a 'competition' you have achieved?

That is very impressive and he made it look easy.

Because he could snatch 300lbs??

Don't forget, that's a lot for weak crossfitters

Nope, ever been to or had an athlete(s) in an College, NFL combine? Or how about a Pro day? (five years straight now).Ever have the biggest agent in baseball come visit and observe how you handle their players and prospects? Would I like to go to an olympics? Hell yes.

Nope is what I thought.

I would love to list the names of the MLB, NFL, and MMA guys that I have helped. Have you been involved with the executive from Nike that coordinates the athletes and what the do for the commercials? Were you ever invited to, and escorted around by the owner of APS in Arizona? Been involved with the whole team for a class A affiliate of a major league team? Shall I continue? If there was an Olympics for being pompous, self-righteous, and narrow minded...you would surely wind gold.

That's awesome, I guess you didn't need my help after all with those questions you PM'd me with.

Well, you see the difference between you and I is that I have humility and don't mind recognizing when someone (potentially) may have more knowledge than me, or that they may have a different perspective. Please don't be so arrogant to think that you were the only person I posed the question to. I took your lack of answer to mean you probably didn't have an answer. Shall we continue?

300lbs is a monster - FUCKING MONSTER - snatch.

Anyone who has ever tried this lift understands this. I know a lot of strong dudes and even 135 at good form is pretty good

mattyh is going to snatch 3 plates today.
