Official Discussion: Quick and Thick / Double Grace

@create24 I actually think they're right in Mat Fraser's wheelhouse, too. The stage is set for an epic final showdown.

@create24 This is exactly what I thought when I heard the workout. It's almost like they asked Rich what he wanted for his last workout.

 

[zangomike]

@marybellpeden Well they certainly didn't ask for his opinion on the first 3 days of workouts.

 

[lutescent]

@zangomike If Dave had picked a Cardio intensive event that played to Rich's weaknesses, you would have heard plenty of people complaining about their not being enough traditional crossfit metcons. You just can't win with most people.

 

[zangomike]

@lutescent I agree. And I'll say this again - I feel the Games should have a slight bias towards strength and lifting ability. There are a ton of people who can run, swim, bike, and sprint very well. There are not a ton of people who can do those things while maintaining extraordinary body control, strength, and technique.

 

[lutescent]

@zangomike Which is why Froning has won 3, soon to be 4, years in a row.

@lutescent Well yesterday morning I WAS complaining about there not being enough traditional crossfit metcons. Soo yeah.

@marybellpeden Yeah and he definitely would have chosen a metcon with Olympic lifting, when the person 10 points behind him specialized in Olympic lifting before coming to CrossFit.
