Thursday…2/22/18

Each day this week, I’ve been writing about what to expect with the CrossFit Games Open starting on Friday. If you missed the first three posts, check them out here:

So today is the final “regular” day for this week. At 8pm tonight (Thursday night that is), CF HQ will release the first workout of the 2018 Open season. Along with that release will come a video where they review the workout details along with standards of movement, etc. Seeing as how we will all be held accountable to these standards, I wanted to link you to a few demo videos of what to expect. Take a look back at the videos from last year to see what I’m talking about:
17.1 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufUKkrH03rE
17.2 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMarGTHymeA
17.3 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcJhFR5gDPM
17.4 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNobmdSjB58
17.5 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjABpCst-Us&t=2s
Now…don’t freak out. We will go over all of these types of things prior to you attacking each of these workouts to make sure we are all on the same page.
Stay tuned for more details as the week rolls on!
