These crossfit wimmins are hot

[jnevin]

If i'm thinkin of the same girl, Thorsdottir is ridiculously hot. Anyway...i do see some obvious signs of drug use at the elite level, some of those girls are butched out. But most of em you see at CF gyms or at regionals have none of those issues. And the thin skin thing, i didn't notice and ridiculously BB'ing stage ripped girls. I mean they're lean but fuck they're metabolic conditioning is through the atmosphere. These are people who don't lift weights unless their hearts are doing 180bpm. They purposefully train like that because any strength that occurs at the lower heart rates is useless to them. They will sprint for half a mile then jump straight into heavy presses, squats, dl's whatever....because when they're competing their heart rates are never under 160 so to them there's no point in training whatsoever under 160-170.

You do realize the people you see in the competitions are a select amount of people that can actually make it there. Kind of like olympians. Positive tests would negate everything they work for.

CF may not test...yet. Not 100% sure about that but my local gym has one of the best in the world and they send a bunch of people. The 65 and up womens champ is from my gym too..obviously she's not saucing but i'm just saying that the guy that sends em, well....no comment but you can guess.

I know guys my age (late 30's) that have higher test levels than friends on HRT because of diet and exercise. Why do you always try to find something negative about anything successful? The people in the spotlight are dozens out of thousands participating in these exercises. Organized sports can have freaks of nature but CF can't?

No i know most don't, that was my point earlier when someone said you realize most of em juice. I said most don't but i'm not naive enough to think that there's no juicing at the elite level. I'm not trying to find something negative about anything...go back a couple posts. Some guy was saying there's no way those girls could get that fit without some sort of enhancement and I was refuting that.

You guys are way overestimating the strength aspect of Crossfit. All the guys that are really strong are nowhere near the top of the of the Crossfit Games results.

Here are the actual events from the 2011 Crossfit Games, the world finals. 10 events over three days. The heaviest lift of the weekend is a 245lb dead for 10 reps. I was at the 2010 and I came away thinking steroids wouldn't really help here. The weights are something most any college football player could do. What makes the diff is being great at one thing, but pretty good at everything - strength, grip, running, rope climbing, endurance. One bad event takes you out of the running.

If anything would help it would be endurance drugs like EPO.



Event 1
For time:
210 meter Ocean swim
1,500 meter Soft-sand run
50 Chest-to-bar pull-ups
100 Hand-release push-ups

Organized sport has a drug problem, why should crossfit be different? And just because it is endurance based doesn't mean juice isn't used to help. Look at professional bicycling.

It's just too easy to get roids and the temptation is too great. These girls obviously are obsessed with winning and with achieving the highest levels. With that goes steroids. How could you not take them, if you suspected the girl who barely beat you last year is taking them? 10 minutes on the internet and you've just improved your odds.

The same psychology trickles down to high school sports. Stupid kids on my sons team taking roids. They do it because they can, and because they want to be better than the other guy.

I agree with the point about these girls working incredibly hard which would give them great physiques, but there is a limit to muscle development with a girls natural hormone levels.

I looked up the drug testing policy for crossfit, and it is unclear. It says that competitors MAY be subjected to random testing, but no indication of if they actually do it. I saw that for the 2012 championships, the top 3 will be tested.
Not that it matters. It's like arguing that there are no steroids in the NFL because the NFL has drug testing.

Im loathe to admit it but I actually agree with nev on this...nothing about those girls jumps out and says "I joose"
my other half doesn't use anything and he'd really be incredibly good at crossfit type stuff....I suspect he's never going to be "big" because of how endurance based he is but hes hard as a rock and cut to the nines
the girls on my lacrosse and polo team in high school were all jacked lil girls because we all constantly did drills of a million different types
and we all were into other sports as well...I did a ton of street ball.

looking at the weight theyre throwing around...its not huge its really the endurance aspect of it thats incredible
also, I don't think it really matters...they look amazing, they can obviously do amazing shit that I know I can't and Im fairly certain I couldn't even with a ton of conditioning
I think people on this board tend to be biased whenever roids comes up...sure when you see an actor who went from nothing to jacked in three months you wonder but even then I'm not totally convinced.

if they aren't testing the athletes, the athletes are juicing...it's really that simple.

I tend to agree with that if they do or do not juice doesn't make what they do any less impressive. Shit DT posted as events is pretty nuts.
