Youth or Experience? Last year’s CrossFit Games was bigger and more varied than the ones before. 8 WODs over two days, more athletes around the world competed to come to the Games, and this year its going to be bigger and more challenging. So, it looks like youth is such a big factor that a new Master’s division will be created at the games. Younger athletes, all other things being equal, recover faster than older athletes and that is a significant advantage when you have say 8 WODs. However, rarely are all things ever equal. Here is lively discussion about the merits of a Masters division with a few CrossFit celebs.
New names on the PR board for Christine. Nice work everyone! Des’s previous best in this workout was 19:30 back in August of this year. She cut 2 minutes off and under 15 minutes is just around the corner. Last updated 9:12 AM.
CrossFit lounge room. Nice find David.
Yeah Andrew!!! From never having done Hespu’s to doing 5 in a row. Jess Chang also got her first 3 Hespu’s as well. More handstand push ups coming this week…
I sent my PR’s in last week and had a 10:06 on Christine last Feb.
I’d love to see a Master’s division, although I’d hope the cut-off would be 35 so I could sneak in there next year..:)
Ohh, forgot about that one. Will correct today…Rob/Nick, you guys were on the board for just a brief moment
corrected scores up now
Des you made it on the board!
And people mocked me for wearing the turtleneck and the sunglasses?
Performance product produces performance.
Just saying.
There should be an “*” next to Cheema’s time. 95lb bodyweight deadlifts isn’t fair.
In addition to the ” * ” that Mike mentions, include Cheema’s perfomance enhancing products with that time. And I thought I was a cheater…golly.
