CrossFit Filthy 150 - Sunday Discussion Thread

[paul999]

@susan67 He is a Dane living in Sweden so his way of pronouncing the names I would say is the correct way. Wether it should be Dottir or dotter could be discussed, dottir is the Icelandic way and dotter the Swedish/Danish way.

 

[susan67]

@paul999 Ahh, that makes more sense, and explains why he pronounced the German names so well. Just seemed like he had a bizarre twang for the Scandinavians... Which seems odd for a Dane.

@jonjones229 there seems to be a team female athlete who does not know how to do a ring muscle up - what is up with that?!

 

[helpme1111]

@little_sparrow Team Battle Cancer are a UK charity paired up with Filthy 150 who gave them a slot. They aren’t an elite team but out there having fun!

 

[little_sparrow]

@helpme1111 that's awesome, thank you.

@little_sparrow There were a few of them in the first heat alright, they seemed to be the same people that couldn’t handstand walk either and struggled with the heavy strict press

@jonjones229 Great seeing dan bailey back out on the floor

 

[dawn16]

@emmasbs I know right, I really hope he can get back to full send and kick some ass

@truman Stupid and boring. Not a great combo.

 

[rosina]

@av1 I found it really exciting to watch! A no rep would really cause a difference and seeing different strategies was interesting aswell,

The weaker athletes lifting it though not so great to watch - my lower back was sore just watching

 

[shallow]

@truman why? seems like it tests power extremely well. seems more in tune where fitness is going these days, such is with the re-vamped military fitness tests.

@shallow They should really do this with the bags used at the Arnold in 2018.. much safer for their backs. They have a handle, and could use like a really heavy kettle bell swing pretty much.

@jonjones229 Sara looks great, seems effortless. I’m impressed that she’s staying in front of sam in a bike/heavy sandbag workout
Edit: nevermind, now Sam is doing what Sam does

 

[shallow]

@chiole disagree a bit. seems like sara is going full send with great effort. holte on the otherhand is right there, composed and effortless. very impressed with her. she's got another gear that, for whatever reason, she is choosing not to use.

edit: just watched sara's interview after the last event. it might be that she's learned nothing about peaking. sort of like last year, she is at her best in sanctionals and then crashes...or, is at her best in sanctionals, does not crash, and that level is simply not good enough. i'll make anyone a gentleman's bet that holte beats her at the games again.

@chiole Sam Briggs is a beast.

 

[adon]

@jonjones229 Does anybody know the weight of the sandbags?

 

[chiole]

@adon I think it’s 100# for women 150# for men

 

[jereldean]

@chiole 110 and 155

 

[lisa1971]

@chiole Its 50kg for the women = 110 lbs

 

[chiole]

@jonjones229 The team version of the sandbag workout looked like a lot of fun. The guy on the team that won the last heat is an animal, he was throwing that bag so damn far.
