@jacknorth Can confirm high reps don’t really correlate to max strength when the gap isn’t significantly large (50 lbs) on the maxes. I have heavy maxes but high reps on wods I get beat very often by guys with lighter maxes than myself.

@jonjones229 Something really fun about this format and how intimate everything is. Reminds me of the old school games with new school athletes and performance thresholds- I dig it.

no music and outdoors and the cloudy day and theres just something super cool about it and the dirt patch they're working on... man this has a great feel to it!!

@ezie That quick camera shot of the lone barbell with dirt covered plates during the last event was beautiful!

@yankees2738 Me too. I’m loving it. Media team is doing a great job also.

@jonjones229 I have high hopes for Haley in this one.

@jonjones229 The Sled Dog has to be one of the coolest nicknames ever

@jonjones229 very impressed with Medeiros. Looked calm and didn’t blow up trying to beat Fraser. Excited to see what he can do this weekend. I’m betting on Medeiros on the podium.

@dantag That flow of his is fucking sweet

 

[pnao]

@jonjones229 Looks cold there which does not bode well for Noah being from So Fla. those lungs are going to burn with these outdoor workouts.

Mat doesn't like training with music?

Confirmed mad man

 

[dan_r]

@jonjones229 Hearing my pathetic winded ass breathing over my music is already bad. Can't imagine how bad it would be without tunes

 

[pnao]

@dan_r I hate running without headphones for this reason.

 

[wvchristian]

@jonjones229 Lol. I’m sitting here thinking “do I need music?”

 

[hbyej60]

@wvchristian Ever since my gym has been doing outdoor workouts, we don't have music as not to bother the neighbors. Tbh I don't even realize its gone.

 

[pnao]

@jonjones229 That’s the trait of a murderer for sure.

 

[eric2015]

@pnao I snort laughed my coffee reading this... Also, slightly terrifying at the same time. Tia probably is the same way...

 

[eric2015]

@jonjones229 Okay...Why no music?! Like. How does this competition format and COVID impact music vs. no music?!
