    JOURNAL ARTICLES The Names and Numbers Behind the Games Things you didn’t know about the CrossFit Games regional qualifiers and the athletes they produced. Mike Warkentin Elite CrossFit athletes from around the world are now gathering in Aromas, California, site of this weekend’s CrossFit Games. As the excitement mounts, let’s take look back at the regional qualifiers. The results are all online—every rep, every second, every pound. In the end, 61 WODs at 19 regional quali- fiers produced 137 athletes, plus 11 who qualified on their past performances. The vital stats and PRs of these athletes can be found online on the 2009 CrossFit Games website. But names and numbers don’t always tell the whole story.... 1 of 6 Copyright © 2009 CrossFit, Inc.

Spealler Sarah Most regions produced at least one heavy competi- tor, but the Northwest Qualifier produced more than its share. All four male representatives—Moe Kelsey, Jerome Perryman, Jason Neago and Jordan Holland —tip the scales above two bills. The lightest 1RM deadlift in the group is the 485 belonging to Kelsey. Perryman, on the other hand, can pull 606—more than any other Games competitor. The Northwest Qualifier featured max press and deadlift events, which usually favour heavier athletes. The final WOD was a triplet that included five rounds of three muscle-ups, 30 wall-ball shots (20 lb.) and six sumo deadlift high pulls (60 kg).

Nicolas Rithner Courtesy of Nico Rithner of Nico Courtesy Kettlebell lifting is a great way to develop strength endurance, but it also has the advantage of allowing multi-planar loading. At Glendale Rugby in Colorado, we use kettlebells for conditioning in addition to barbell training. We use the rotational swing often because it’s a challenging, non-stop movement that targets the whole body—armpits down—and replicates the unilateral hip-knee extension seen in tackling. In addition, it’s a “two-speed exercise” that requires explosiveness and complexity. 1 of 5 Copyright © 2009 CrossFit, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

    Getting Too Comfortable CrossFit Games champ Jason Khalipa says lifting heavy takes a special environment. By Jason Khalipa September 2011 Courtesy of Jason Khalipa Several months ago, I competed in a powerlifting competition in Northern California. As a CrossFitter, I knew going in that my numbers would be nowhere near the numbers the powerlifters would put up, especially those wearing gear. But I wanted to take myself out my comfort zone and put myself in an atmosphere that would hopefully help me set a few new personal records. 1 of 4 Copyright © 2011 CrossFit, Inc.

By Jeff Martin CrossFit Kids October 2011 Three we often use are monkey hangs, monkey swings and Don’t Touch the Ground. Monkey hangs are simple: the kids simply grab the bar with any grip and hang. Generally, we have the kids challenge themselves. “How long did you hang last time? Let’s see if you can beat it. 3-2-1 … go!” Monkey hangs work well for all our kids, from Preschool through Teen class. To do a monkey swing, the child starts by hanging, then releasing one hand to tap his leg. He then reaches back up and grabs the bar, then changes hands and taps his other leg. Each leg tap is a point.

  • J O U R N a L the Best of Crossfit.Com—Byers Edition
    JOURNAL ARTICLES The Best of CrossFit.com—Byers Edition In the first of a series, one enthusiastic CrossFitter highlights her favorite treasures buried throughout the immense CrossFit.com archives Melissa Byers “The Hard Routine” Jason Dougherty CFJ article published May 1, 2008 The Hard Routine is an article advocating the incorporation of a short duration “hard core” program into your regular training routine. According to the author, the Hard Routine is an exercise in mental toughness, to be used as a catalyst for positive change in daily life. The idea is that the disci- pline of such a program will yield measurable performance results. The article details a case study that the reader can then use to set-up his or her own program. In fact, the article inspired me to complete my own Hard Routine, and led me to an LBM (“light bulb moment”) about how my own mental toughness can best be tested. I began planning my HR in November of 2008, in a fashion similar to that of the test subject in the article. I assumed that the self-imposed dietary restrictions (no grains, sugars, processed foods or dairy) and lack of any “cheat” meals would prove the most difficult aspect of the program. I also planned to work a heavy number of “goat” exercises—things I did not do well, or did not enjoy. Finally, my program had a strict five-day-a -week schedule, with no allowance for skipped days or make-up sessions. I braced myself for a major suck-fest and got started on day one.

  • BY MIKE WARKENTIN CROSSFIT JOURNAL | AUGUST 2015 1 July 26, Ben Smith Was Crowned the Fittest Man on Earth
    Thomas Campitelli SEVEN YEARS’ WAR AFTER FOCUSING ON COMPETITION IN 2008, BEN SMITH WINS THE CROSSFIT GAMES IN 2015. BY MIKE WARKENTIN CROSSFIT JOURNAL | AUGUST 2015 1 July 26, Ben Smith was crowned the Fittest Man on Earth. And you might have seen it coming. Smith, a podium finisher in 2011 and 2013, was far from a long shot heading into the competition, but he also wasn’t the odds-on favorite. Many looked to Mathew Fraser, last year’s second-place finisher, as the heir apparent to four-time champ Rich Froning Jr. Fraser won the CrossFit Games Open, dominated the East Regional and looked like a man ready to cast his rivals aside like 10-lb. medicine balls at the Games. Smith finished third in the Open but fourth in the Atlantic Regional, placing 12th or lower in three of seven events—not an ideal way to generate momentum for the tests waiting at the StubHub Center. But you might have seen Smith coming anyway—especially if you were around in 2009.
