Meet Devin Ford, 7 Time Regional Competitor

@davidcid Also, on the near side you can see that on several trips he begins or ends the lunges with his foot on the line. Probably the same thing was happening on the other side but it's difficult to see the line.

@davidcid There was definitely some interesting camera work going on when he showed his measurements... showed start of measuring tape, camera pointed up in the air, camera pointed up in the air, showed the 25' mark. It was in the original video that crossfit linked

Thank you.

@gracie100 His lunges and stepups were soooooo bad. The movement standars aren't supposed to be "suggestions." And his judge was barely looking at his reps. I don't even think she was counting. Shit show all around.

@pebblesofhoward They already saw it and gave it a thumbs up.

@rasnosauj Shame shame shame

@josephfaith He didn't even compete at Regionals last year. He also came in last in 4 of 6 events in 2017, and near last in the other two.

Something certainly very fishy there...

 

[josephfaith]

@lone_disciple There was a comment in the fb thread that when they started testing athletes at Regionals last year, he left.

@josephfaith

I use nutrition and supplementation as well as intelligent coaches and training protocols to compete at the highest level possible.

@josephfaith Cheating on all cylinders

 

[maryellalong]

@josephfaith Link to his 19.3 video

Edit: looks like it's down

 

[amaian]

@maryellalong How was that not penalized more? Dude doesn't even try to completely pass a line on the ground or start behind it, absolutely doesn't open his hips on the step ups, and a good portion of his 40 hspus were likely no reps with his feet going wider than his hands. HQ even allowing this video is disgraceful.

 

[malgosia63]

@amaian How do you fuck up every movement of this workout and get rewarded

 

[conningns]

@maryellalong Wow, he didn't get over the line or start behind it on any of the lunge distances. How did a review miss something so obvious?

 

[lone_disciple]

@maryellalong He's still got other comedy gold posted on his YouTube...

 

[dawn16]

@maryellalong He took it down

@josephfaith Thank you to @stonewalker for posting the Diane video and putting more about this wacko and HQ’s (lack of) response in today’s newsletter, for this of us who missed the original video:
