Meet Devin Ford, 7 Time Regional Competitor

[bdawson101]

@graceforyou So he was penalized what? 7 seconds per missing HSPU?

That comes out to about 6 minutes if I just skip the them entirely and move on to the handstand walks. Using the HQ method I should've just worked myself over on the first half of the workout, rested for 6 minutes, then just started trying to do handstand walks. My score would've improved drastically.

@bdawson101 And here I was pacing myself because I knew I’d hit a wall. I should have just did a quick max set then go right to the hsw (which I also can’t do)

 

[ambereyes12]

@josephfaith This dude's movement and reps are straight garbage. HQ dropped the ball hardcore on this.

 

[amaian]

@ambereyes12 We've seen HQ react to the community with Bridges deadlifts so maybe they'll do something here too. Still bad form on HQs part, no pun intended.

 

[st333333]

@ambereyes12 You guys did say you missed Trevor bachmeyer....

 

[lisarose001]

@ambereyes12 Make a video about it. What's the point of having a platform if not to use it?

 

[praynmama]

@lisarose001 Well, he took your advice! lol

 

[amaian]

@josephfaith I don't know what I expected with that Diane video but holy shit hahahaha. This dude should definitely not be at the games. However this will be a great opportunity to voice our concerns and then see him completely tank when being judged again like at regionals except on an even grander stage. Maybe that'll teach HQ some kind of lesson. Probably not though.

Edit: Oh my god his entire youtube channel is gold.

 

[wangsamax]

@amaian I figured out how to shave 1:30 off my Diane time by watching that video haha

 

[knowmeyouwont]

@josephfaith Oh, damn. Dude is getting dragged by Lukas Esslinger, Travis Williams, Vellner, Fikowski, and other Games Athletes on his second to most recent post on instagram.

 

[smh86]

@knowmeyouwont Craig Kenny too

“I remember my first beer.”

Haha what a god

 

[st333333]

@josephfaith Shows how broken Open is. 90% of these national champs cut reps. At the end of the day we will see the same 10 familiar faces at the top of Games rankings.

 

[revjrm2047]

@cantgetright Yeah, direct-from-Open qualification is generally a joke. They should re-think the process next year and use the Sanctionals as a regionals process with qualifiers coming from the Open, and qualification to the Games coming from the Sanctionals. If they spread out the Sanctionals around the world, they could still get a larger number of countries represented, and they would have gone through at least one stage of judged competition to get there. And CFHQ still gets to outsource nearly the whole process.

@gracie100 Interesting, it took me 8 steps per length on the lunge and I’m 5’9”. I doubt he’s doing 25’ considering he was taking 6 steps per length.

 

[chantelle1989g]

@davidcid Well, when you're at least half a foot over the tape...

I can't even...

And he's claiming 9% body fat at 205# on a 5'8 frame - that's not natty.
