They are slams, so you have to throw it down like that.<br />
<br />
And as the first set was with a 32kg ball, not a freaking chance! -

But didn't the instructor guy say not to waste any energy putting it down?? he said just drop it once he (Owen) had it fully extended over his head...<br />
<br />
32kg ball!! wtf!! -
Small wonder he's on top of his game at his age. Seriously impressive.

Oh, you meant the first exercise. Yeah, on the bounce is smart there, but it's still work with that weight. He's a freaking machine, in the other videos they talk about his lifts and fitness being up there with the best Crossfitters in the world. -
fark, I'd be lcky to get through what he did in that time with a tennis ball!!
-
Whoa! that dude is a tank!! Made it look easy
-

<br />

You would clean up in Crossfit IMO. With the type of fitness you get and your strength you would only need to learn the skills stuff. -

I will post a photo I took from my book of the Franks boys with their Dad Ken in their CHCH CF gym when I get home from work tonight.<br />
<br />
Was watching CF world games on ESPN last night. The chicks were incredible, 100% functional athletic muscle.
