In what might have been the video of the weekend, @lindsey_jacoby of @crossfitkrypton kicked and yelled @claytondoes through a set of partner deadlifts. Swipe up in our story to see it.
–
“I got so much hate for that. … People said I was being super disrespectful to him,” Jacoby, smiling, said after Event 5.
–
So here’s the full story. Kennedy, an alternate on the team, was pressed into service shortly before the competition, and the team had almost no time to practice. In fact, the pair had only done 10 reps total at that deadlift weight before the event.
–
Kennedy knows the deadlift isn’t his best lift, and before the event he told Jacoby to push him.
–
“She was 100 percent right to do that,” he said.
–
Jacoby, a mom of 3, said she reminded Clayton that “this is your moment,” and she employed a well-used “mom finger” to indicate she was serious. As for the gentle kick?
–
“First of all, it was a toe tap, … and as soon as I did it, he stood up.”
–
So enjoy the video guilt-free. It’s just two teammates sticking to a plan and helping each other out.
–
It’s also funny as hell.
–
Here’s Kennedy motivating Jacoby. Now they’re even. And they’re good buddies.

Editor-In-Chief at BOXROX. I come from a background of rugby and weightlifting. Growing up in the English Lake District, I spent a great deal of time swimming in its stunning lakes and rivers. In 2015 my brothers and I became the first people to swim the 145km length of the River Eden, from source to mouth, in 9 days. We also swam the Corryvreckan whirlpool, the third largest in the world, and Crossfit is a huge part of my training for these events.
