referring to those scrawny kids struggling to hold 50lb dumbbells as crossfitters is like referring to the 300lb permabulker beating his chest about his bounce-rep bench with 275 as a "bodybuilder". they're trying to do it, but they're not representative of the activity.
the open crossfit games this year has an event that's 21-15-9 reps of deadlifts with 315 and 30" box jumps. how many guys reading this thread could hit 21 reps on 315 with deadlifts at all, let alone for speed? there's one workout that's five rounds of max reps of bench with your bodyweight and pullups. the guys who go to the games can deadlift, on average, in the 500s and can clean and jerk 3 plates. can anyone here clean and jerk 315?
