That's why at 0:59 they took the elevator to the top floor.
Don't forget, they also had their equipment dropped off beforehand.

I am starting to believe that the next @F lawsuit will come based on a broken neck from those beyond idiotic handstand push-ups. "But your honor, we told them to be SAFE when they dropped down from a handstand onto their head!"

The first patient was performing “handstand push-ups” as part of a supervised exercise routine. To see exactly what a handstand push-up is, please go to YouTube, as there are many people who are willing to demonstrate the maneuver. My patient’s shoulder buckled during the push-up, and he subsequently landed with all of his body weight directly on the top of his head, causing a significant impingement of a cervical nerve root as it exited his spine. This patient, an otherwise fit twenty-something man, has lost fifty percent of his grip and arm strength on his right side. Thankfully his strength is returning, albeit slowly.

Risk vs reward...some people are too busy being Internet heroes to stop and use that kind of logic.

If the concept of breaking your neck and losing functional use of your limbs is foreign to you, Crossfit doesn't want you in their ranks!

It may be a little weird but rather than have sex with her, I feel a strong urge to shoot a double leg and try to choke her out.
And then have sex with her.
Same time.

It's got an international field of elite runners. And it's only 0.2 miles - should be right up the alley of most Crossfitters!

Instead they take the elevator and do some pushups in the middle of the night. Badass.
This is one of the reasons I will always hate @F. It's the need to tell everybody how doing something stupid makes them better. They may as well be doing Chinese fire drills or nigger knocking for time and making a tshirt about it.

You do nigger knocking for time? We just do it for accuracy.

I imagine pushups in the Empire State Building are an integral part of their well-planned program for improvement.

Wait for the claim that it's altitude training.

GLOVES?!?!

If the thought of tearing your hands apart and bleeding all over the place so that you can't workout again or do your job for a week is foreign to you, Crossfit doesn't want you in their ranks!
