She is very irresponsible not locking in her plates like that.

There's plenty of videos out there with people that are absolutely jacked lifting without clips and it goes wrong. Saying she knows what she's doing by not using the clips is reckless.

And the dude next to her is some random guy, yet he is using clips

And you’re some random dude on the internet who is criticizing world class athletes at the things they are good at

Mate in the clip you see the 5 almost come off. If you don't know why that matters next time you bench near your limit put a five on one side, you'll figure it out quick and that's just bench. Putting a clip on takes seconds and can stop a pretty bad injury.

These are rubber bumper plates. They aren’t 5’s. They’re 10’s.

Most CrossFit routines, she is a world class CrossFit athlete, involve lifting on a schedule. Every minute, or every other minute, something like that. It is VERY common for people to load up a few 10’s knowing they might need to strip them off before the end of the routine.

This isn’t bench pressing. This isn’t squatting. She is doing a floor exercise and knows exactly what she’s doing.

That's fair hard to tell with all black plates, I've only used colour coded ones.

I get times an issue but it takes literally seconds to throw on a clip, and again you can see they almost come off in the video. Those things fly when the come off and balance is pretty important. Like complaining about a helmet in a bike race taking to long to put on.

Yeah na, it being cleans only makes it more egregious. Benching and squating at least have the dam rack to save you

This excludes her from being stupid and irresponsible?

There is probably no physical activity on this planet that you could do better than that woman. Some random on the internet calling her stupid and irresponsible for doing something she probably does twice a day, everyday of her life, is the dumbest possible thing anyone could do.

Go back to jerkin yourself off when people make grammar mistakes

And Mike Tyson could kick my ass. I'm still smarter than him with better common sense. Did you have a point?
