Meet Devin Ford, 7 Time Regional Competitor

[devonian]

@dawn16 Yeah with his old score. It doesn’t show his new score...

 

[maryellalong]

@devonian It has the new score. 9:34 places him 131st on that workout, and 27th overall.

 

[devonian]

@maryellalong Whoops, i was looking at the wrong workout score. My bad!

 

[oreng]

@josephfaith This is just embarrassing.

 

[ss1984]

@josephfaith Booo! The videos were taken down I guess.

 

[dayvay]

@josephfaith wow this many cheaters in the top 40 who were aware they would likely need to submit proof? Imagine how many in the top 5000 that didnt really need proof of their scores....

@josephfaith Makes Josh Bridges' deadlifts in the 55's look like the demo video for standards.

1) Can't even see the lines at the other end - invalid video

2) He doesn't stand up his lunges

3) His foot isn't over the line to finish his lap down

4) He puts his foot over the line to start

5) Take particular note of his box step up rep at 1:54 (the one where he starts to repeat his right, but catches it, and steps up with the left); the most blatant of his "not standing up fully" no-reps on those

6) On his HSPU, his feet are routinely wider than this hands, that is way obvious (4:43, for example)

7) Of course, the now-famous "only doing fucking 40 even though a woman was clearly there who could judge and count for you)

8) On his HS walk, he starts his lap back with his left hand over the line EVERY time, actually getting more egregious with each one

Absolutely shameful.

@oxo I'm sorry this is complete crap. his "judge" isn't even paying attention half the time. her back is literally turned during some of those hspu reps.

and the crossfit response to this is total bullshit

 

[psalm51flower]

@josephfaith So his video deletions show he's aware that everyone of what everyone thinks of him. What does he do now? Stick his head in the sand and dare show his face in Madison? Or does he pull out at the last minute due to an "injury"?

If he has even a shred of dignity or integrity, he'll drop out early enough to allow an actually deserving person to take his place.

Completely unfathomable that HQ let his 19.3 stand with such a light penalty, with no mention of his clearly substandard step-ups, handstand walks and lunges. It makes me feel embarrassed for being a fan of the sport.

 

[joy1]

@josephfaith I'm really enjoying the trolling by some of the big boys like Fikowski. I really hope he does he honorable thing and declines the invite. There are so many other people who actually deserve the invite.

You know if he accepts and goes he will bomb out horribly and most likely be trolled hard by the other athletes.

@josephfaith HE DOES NOT LUNGE 25’! So here’s the thing. He’s 5’ 8”, and Noah is also 5’ 8”. It takes Devin 6 steps to make each pass of the lunges. For Noah, it takes 8 steps. I know this seems trivial, but I think Devin is only lunging about 20’ each pass. Also worth noting, Noah’s lunges are NOT short steps.

@josephfaith The next Matt Murski & whatever that random barbell tosser douchebag from OC Throwdown is here...

Thank you - this shit made my day! The Diane is epic.

 

[sonali]

@dawn16 The OC throwdown dude is Ronnie Teasdale. He's changed....to say the least

 

[dawn16]

@sonali Impressive. It's not easy to change. Kudos to him.

Oh, Ryan Fisher also was quite a cat.

 

[jonjones229]

@dawn16

Impressive. It's not easy to change. Kudos to him.

It's been a very, very weird change and different direction

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Well damn. Is there a link or something? Was it train wreck like Christmas Abbott?

 

[jonjones229]

@dawn16 Just go check his instagram. You'll be able to see the difference think he's ra_of_earth now

 

[dawn16]

@jonjones229 Holy moly... It's like half yogi half Ido Portal half not even sure what...

 

[jesusiscomingsoon]

@jonjones229 Actually looks exactly like the Abbott trajectory in the sense that he's turned into a total fake hippy

 

[sonali]

@dawn16 Fischer gets a lot of hate. I started following him on IG and listen to his podcasts. He's pretty awesome.
