@asphaltpotato 3:43, M33, 73kg Was a few years ago, I’ve been on a weightlifting arc since so it’s probably double that now haha

@ryananthony Very true, although in his defence and as others have pointed out, there is usually a sled event of some sort! I’m unsure if I want it to be fairer this year or not as I think the only way to stop Mat might be tampering with his sled ha ha

@ryananthony Last year at the games there was a sled BMU event. There was a massive discrepancy between the pace some of the athletes were able to move some fairly light sleds. A lot of the athletes complained that there was no way the sleds were equal and there was some research done (unsure...

@ahadi No ha ha, in the UK

@raeclark I mean yeah but I don’t really know the rules of swinging tbh. I can imagine there are some grey areas. Fuck knows

@stthomaschristian Found out that a not insignificant number of people at our gym are swingers. Two of them are a married couple with a newborn that broke up because she had been swinging without his permission. They would post nasty shit on Facebook about each other and then turn up at social...

@dawn16 Yeah I agree Justin has been the one who has pushed Mat more than anyone. Hope he still podiums. The total yeah I think he thought he had done enough. Absolutely crazy the only reason he isn’t 9/9 might just be bad maths haha Snatch ladder is what it is, the best Oly lifters clearly...

@at7ila Her and mat are outstanding but I wanted to see a few of the others take some risks early on to at least try to keep first place within reach. Other than Brooke in this event, I don’t think we have seen any examples of anyone trying to push that redline. I mean, take the CrossFit total...

@jonjones229 Fair play to Brooke honestly, she actually pushed tia there. She paid the price but I feel like up to this point they’ve all been playing it too safe and playing into tia’s/Matt’s hands

@zekori I’d be surprised if you lose strength unless you have a crazy deadlift or something ha If you’re really worried you could always spend 4 days doing classes a week, and then one day doing rugby specific training? Tbf there is almost no lateral explosive movement trained in CF, as I...

@forfamily Yeah I qualified 95th percentile and my max clean and jerk is 120, so it’s gonna be a DNF for me in that one

@adafitchfe Probably because literally everywhere else in the world other than america uses kg. And it was in Madrid. If anything we should be using kg all the time

@red_panda So fucking stupid that it’a 32.5kg. How many gyms even have them?! Also 70lbs is less than 32kg, so we are being done over anyway. Just HQ thinking the world revolves around America as usual.

@zekori It depends on your goals, but that sounds like it’s enough for 99% of the CrossFit population (assuming the strength cycles are programmed competently) I’m a coach at a gym, me and the owner basically just do the 60 min class programming together every day and we both got top 5% in the...

@lisangel Yeah I think that’s how it should be, them pushing the boundaries of fitness. Not them doing 35lb DB snatches for crying out loud Some of the tests in 2020 had that feel also. The ranch loop where they got told to turn around. Atalanta etc

@zekori What does your class normally program within an hour?

@williamandcarol The event I imagine will have had the most impact is probably the 5k But even then compare it to the marathon row a few years back and it’s nothing either Can’t help but feel it’s been a step backwards in programming this year

@soldout77 I can imagine this is the case. But them saying stuff like some athletes opted for power cleans because they did 90 box jumps earlier in the day 🤡

@jonjones229 I wish they’d stop going on about “the toll the previous tests have taken” They’ve done 90 box jumps and 50 CTB, are you for real These guys train for hours every day, that’s fuck all

@littlefox I can search for myself on the leaderboard but when I go on the app it just says score submitted, not verified etc
