Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! Brilliant from you TR ! -
Yeah I searched for that - fark me he dealt to that workout. Clever strategy of throwing it down just a bit to try and catch it on the bounce, he is a fit, fit dude!<br />
<br />
Could you take him Kirwan!!? -

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!!

Really enjoyed watching those last night.<br />
<br />
I may be completely wrong but Owen Franks looks as though he could 'learn' how to become an Olympic Gold medalist weight lifter. Just seems so dedicated -
Whoa! that dude is a tank!! Made it look easy
-
wow, just watched that ball one - LOVE IT, this cross fit looks a bit of me that is for sure. Get beyond the muscle and into the brain, don't quit, love it love it LOVE IT!!<br />
<br />
THink I know what I'll be looking at doing once I finish with the BB lark! Fark that looked intense. -

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 />

Was watching CF world games on ESPN last night. The chicks were incredible, 100% functional athletic muscle.
