Catch Team U.S.A. in its third training workout with Games Director Dave Castro at Valley CrossFit in Van Nuys, Calif.
The third prep WOD is done as a five-person team, with one man going first, another going last and three women in between. On the agenda: rope climbs, power cleans, burpees, overhead squats, fat-bar deadlifts and running.
Pitted against Southern California’s top squads, Team U.S.A. finishes first at 14:59.
“No one held us up,” says 2008 CrossFit Games champion Jason Khalipa. “Everything was great.”
A team workout, he adds, requires a different mentality.
“I think it’s important to understand transition time and to be aware of your own body,” he says. “If you do feel fatigued, leave your ego at the door and let someone else jump in there. Whether you get five, 10 or 20 reps, it’s irrelevant. It’s all about the team.”
In addition to Khalipa, Team U.S.A. comprises Matt Chan, Kristan Clever, Julie Foucher, Rich Froning Jr. and Becca Voigt.
Team U.S.A. faces Team Europe on Oct. 13 in London. The competition will involve four workouts.
Team Europe includes Frederik Aegidius, Mikko Aronpaa, Samantha Briggs, Katrin Davidsdottir, Numi Snaer Katrinarson and Annie Thorisdottir.
in the second part of this intense workout, a team of four fitness athletes try Crossfit for the first time. More used to isolation exercises using free weights, the team are challenged by Workout of the Day-style training featuring more whole body exercises.
The team are:
MATT SALLIS, Men’s Health cover model and physique competitor
HUGO BARCELOS, UK Fitness Model Champion
REDMAN NEAL, fitness model and sponsored athlete
LEON WILLIAMS, UKBFF National Physique Champion (tall class)

These people must have built their foundation doing more traditional
workouts. The local crossfit gym in my town has a couple hundred members. I
saw their team photo. they all look like, just average. No huge muscles. No
ripped six packs. Just skinny, average, slightly toned, and chubby
physiques. I’M CALLING BULLSHIT!!!!
I’ve seen there the worst burpees i’ve ever seen :o
awesome
I’m watching this while eating a piece of cake and stroking my pot belly!
Shame!
1,2,3, team this is gay! THIS IS GAY!!
lmao “ok guys, let’s try 30 power cleans, 30 overhead squats, and 40
deadlifts”…that’s fucking retarded. These exercises should be preformed
with precision and care, not racing to finish first.
everything about this sport is so dangerous.. i don’t understand the point
waooo impressive
Aren’t the men too big for that?
If they really want to be fittest on earth they need to be able to run. Not
fit if can’t run.
40 Deadlifts? Deadlifts should be in low and heavy reps, I love crossfit
but high reps takes much of the purpose out of the deadlift.
Whats up with those lame ass burpees?
STOP HATING ON CROSSFIT AND DO WHAT THE FFFFFFUCK YOU WANNA DO! (THANKS
HODGE TWINS)
He (DC) was in a better shape then.
Cross
One of us, one of us, one of us, Camille.
So fucking retarded
i wish i had half the motivation after working all day
you loose…. jajjajajajaja
Yeah its retarded in comparison to other workouts, the pushups and the box
jumps are so dumb, I understand Olympic lifts but they arnt intended to
destroy your ligaments in repetition and speed.
That Asian person is a girl?
I have to get myself training like this!
Honestly thats what i was thinking i wonder why he isn’t….
holy fuck, welcome to snap city
Can someone explain to me how this works? You climb the rope one time then
you do 10 power cleans, 20 burpees, 30 OH squats, 40 deadlifts and then it
starts all over again ? or you climb the rope 4 times up and down and do
the entire workout? I ve never done this before but it seems like a pretty
short workout? I think it can be done in 30-40 min?
why does every cross fit guy have to be some d bag without a shirt on?
…those guys didn’t get that physique doing crossfit.
Niggas skipped leg day
These guys just look like hired models.
Yummy, that is all. Now get a leg day video in too so we can be really
happy 🙂
i wanna eat all of them! lol
learn how to push press before giving a tutorial. Jesus fuck look at the
barpath of the second guy to the left at 0:33. Barpath is way fucked. He is
basically shoving the bar out in front of him instead of overhead.
Crossfit won’t get you that big
The gym looks awesome!
LOL Crossfit is anything but functional.
That’s right, be mediocre at as many things as possible.
Legs ??? thin…thin thin…
Let’s all take our tops of to show our bods
Douchebaggery at its finest xD
What are you models or athletes?? I think the former, the female ones. Go
back to Armani store and let real athletes train without having to see you
jerks dancing in a gym. Shame on you
all on steroids…
I think it’s funny that so many on here think these guys are gay based on
how they look. Listen…we gay men are beautiful for the most part…true.
But that because we know how to take care of ourselves. We want to look
good. We want to show the beauty of men. However that does not translate to
every man that looks good being gay. Who knows maybe these guys are gay,
maybe a couple of them…maybe none. The fact is that looking good does not
mean being gay. You guys are so weird.
commet frai pour etre muscul
crassfit is rubbish
So, exactly when does the Crossfit workout start? All they are doing is
just some crossfit moves, but it’s way to slow to be called a Crossfit
workout.
dont u have money to buy a t shirt ?
Whoa. How am I supposed to pay attention to the video with those hot men
distracting me. LOL!
Then after they have an orgy.
This looks like an ad for gay male strippers. CrossFit truly does it all,
unfortunately.
Yall need to stop hating cuz yall aint swole
