    In this episode of the Brute Showdown, the ladies meet Christine -- one of CrossFit's notorious Benchmark Workouts.
    With Brute Coach Adrian Conway as the host, these four athletes from different realms of fitness are battling it out for the fastest time: bodybuilder Dana Linn Bailey, CrossFit athlete Brooke Ence, powerlifter Maddy Forberg and weightlifter Mattie Rogers.
    Event Three: CrossFit WOD "Christine"
    3 Rounds for time:
    500m Row
    12 Deadlifts (95#)
    21 Box Jumps (20")
    While each of these ladies has had a different experience to this training methodology, you will see some carry over from their own sport carry into how they perform. With Brooke being our favored athlete as the CrossFit Games Veteran, watch to see how it all plays out.

      @@waytha86 Bashing others and putting others down isn't an opinion. And you speak about loving women that empower, but what are you doing? You're actively choosing to put other women down instead of support them. You're judging their bodies. You're blaming them for anorexia and bulimia (whereas in reality, anorexia and bulimia are mental health diseases and people who have them aren't necessarily skinny). You're just being an overall small-minded, disgusting person. I don't understand how you can live while putting down and insulting an entire industry of women whilst being extremely uneducated about it. You should be ashamed. I'm not the biggest fan of obesity, but I will never shame someone for having an eating disorder. If I see a fat person, I will never say they're promoting obesity, because I respect that different people have different body shapes. Some people look skinny af and eat like a horse at every meal. Some people barely eat, but have a lot of fat on them. We all have different bone shapes and metabolisms. Fitness is also an amazing thing that not only allows you to have big muscles. As an example - Victoria's secret angels train VERY hard. Especially prior to a show. They simply train in a different way with a different purpose. They train to have less fat and lean muscle. FFS, most of them have CRAZY abs!

    Maddy's a champ. She was at a severe disadvantage not only because of her height, but she lacked the proper technique in the rower. She was pulling too rapid but short of a pace which only jacked up her heart rate. Dana and Mattie's pulls in comparison were longer and more powerful. Even without cardiovascular endurance in her arsenal, Maddy came through strong.

      Well, if you watch the crossfit games, you are in for a treat about weird movements. The deadlifts are terrible(hinging, leaning back, etc.), the pull-ups, the dips. I saw some thing, where they need to slam a box with a hammer, they basically all tried to drag it, while the commenters clearly said it is not allowed, no one gives a fk because its crossfit.
      I can somehow see the argument about the pull-ups etc. But the deadlifts, my god. Just apply powerlifting rules plz to those 1RM in the games.

    Someone should have done a quick coaching session on how to row. That poor powerlifter is putting in so much energy for nearly nothing. She has so much power in those legs she could be turning over those meters SOOOO much faster.
    Edit: I do see now that they did give her a quick coaching session in the beginning. Bummer she didn't catch on. No doubt if she would have used that power in her legs it would have been a much closer race. Huge kudos to her though, to jump in a test her fitness against all these ladies.

      the whole concept of crossfit is the same weights/standards for all athletes. So of course she will have the same height box. Which honestly shouldn't really matter because it still wasn't that tall of a box. And they actually gave her a crash course on the rower prior to the comp starting. Id also like to mention that DLB and mattie rogers also had very little experience with a rower. So ya she wasn't at any disadvantage shes just not as good at adapting to new movements as the others were.

    The reason why CrossFit can be dangerous. Brooke’s form on the deadlift was a lot of back arching as she got got fatigued.

      Todd Allison There were a lot of form issues in this. DLB didn’t come to full extension on the deadlifts, you’re supposed to land with full foot on the box, rowing bringing the bar to the bottom of the sternum… at my CrossFit box they take weeks to teach correct form and figure out proper progressions and scaling for everyone that comes into the gym (well, maybe only a couple days for experienced Crossfitters, but most people don’t have the experience). It’s sad they didn’t at least teach correct rowing and box jumping form to the ladies who hadn’t rowed before.

    Idea for next season : bring in coaches! Assign / let athletes choose a coach for the entire comp or for a single event. The interaction of the different personalities would be dope, and viewers would get to see how high level coaches are able to help athletes strategize and adapt when the cards are stacked against them (i.e Maddy on the rower). Would be way more entertaining to get the insight of high level coaches while watching the athletes throw down than just watching the athletes slug it out for 10 minutes again.

      She was really smart about the box jumps. Instead of stepping down and putting that extra load on the quads everytime, just dropping down and using the coiled energy to spring right back up made her fly through those box jumps. Maybe it's because she was dealing with an injury, but you could see her carefully thinking through economy of movement and setting her form well the entire time. She wasted less energy than everyone else.

      Ryan AP. Agreed being taller is important in rowing to make a longer stroke, but there are lots of good lightweight rowers under 6ft. Technique is number 1. Its like being tall but not knowing how to play basketball. The vast majority of NBA players are over 6 2ft but doesnt mean you cant be a good player if you are not tall.

      I need some coaching for my row. I definitely hinge too early. Watching videos can only do so much. Sometimes you need and actual coach.

    Awesome video again. Certainly shows how strong and mentally tough these women are tackling challenges outside of what they train for. I know a "Christine" would have me in pain for at least a week.

      Lawrence W I don’t think forberg is on gear at all actually. Brooke possibly, but her physique wouldn’t be impossible to attain naturally, she’s not huge, she’s tall and muscular.

    • @lawrencenao
      @lawrencenao Před 5 lety +2

      Marcel Fuentes oh sho I should’ve clarified i meant brooke. Forberg is def a natty cause she competes in usapl which is a drug tested fed. And you’re right it isn’t completely impossible but i can see brooke being on something

      I mean....this type of video will probably draw a lot of fitness buffs. Not saying they're all right. But good form is basic stuff, and that seems to be the main issue here.
