Josh Bridges movement standards in 16.4

[psalms119]

@dawn16 Cool

Watch the athletes on the left at :56 and the right at 1:20-1:30

Fisheye isn't an issue here

@dawn16 Excellent shot showing the fisheye distortion.

 

[imjustwierd94]

@dawn16 Exactly, everybody is going nuts over a video of not the best quality and that picture kind of puts in in perspective.

@smithi Lol

 

[alexis1]

@jaylgee1 Bridges is the worst for not meeting standards. Drives me crazy.

 

[trumpetsounds]

@alexis1 He's kind of like Camille; both are great athletes but always seem to get called on questionable reps.
Some athletes waste time on borderline reps when just doing them properly will get them a better score.

 

[novihartanti]

@trumpetsounds Wouldn't it be in a professional's best interest to do the least amount of movement in order to get the max amount of reps? The onus is on his judge to tell him that he's getting a no rep.

Look at football and basketball, all of the great players push the limits.

That being said, Bridges now has a target on his back at Regionals.

@novihartanti Exactly, as a competitor you want to ride the line and get whatever edge the official will let you have. What's bizarre is to do it in the open where HQ has the ability to apply a penalty to your score. Every rep should be unquestionable. Still hoping HQ will give Bridges a 15% penalty

 

[dawn16]

@trumpetsounds I actually wonder if Camille is now doing better reps now that she's with Doug Chapman/Hyperfit programming, instead of Invictus.

 

[givenmyself2god]

@dawn16 I hope so. She is always so close on reps. Just a half inch more and it would be clear everytime for her.

 

[christianleapoffaith]

@alexis1 This was all I could think about when watching Bridges deadlift.

 

[ktorres08]

@jaylgee1 Side by side comparison taken at the top of a legit rep and a no rep. No rep has butt visible(hips not fully extended)and shirt logo clearly out over the bar.

Deadlift standard is one thing, but why wasn't there video of how they came up with that HSPU line? As much as he struggled with the new standard last year, I'm going to be suspicious, especially given his wide hand and foot placement.

 

[psalms119]

@brokenandconfused Come on, CJ. Take some responsibility.

You know what? Rich has won a whole bunch of open wods and probably been watched on video more than any crossfitter

Ever heard someone say Rich doesn't do good reps?

I didn't think so. because he does them to standard every. Single. Time.

Josh doesn't. It's that simple.

 

[aaronmark]

@brokenandconfused Stop whining, CJ.

Letting the odd rep slip for some guy who is ranked 1,328... not a big deal.

But when you're judging a guy who has a great shot of being top 10 and even 1st? Judge that shit right. You know it'll be scrutinized.

 

[xsmbthu3hoa]

@brokenandconfused Funny the picture he chose to post was one of the few reps done to standard.

 

[royalrose]

@brokenandconfused I'm surprised there weren't more comments about Josh's almost as bad 16.1 video submission where CJ was judging C2Bs several feet directly behind him and the floor lines could not be seen clearly. Would not trust anything he judges.

of course he'll defend his athletes. but those reps did not meet the CFHQ standards. I kinda lost my admiration for CJ (unfollowed him on insta).

 

[sidfinch]

@brokenandconfused What a fool. CJ obviously screenshotted Josh's best rep and uses that as an example, cheerry picking bullshit. He should be ashamed of the other two on the far left and right.
