And The 2020 CrossFit Games Are Over!!!
And… With No Surpise… Your TOP FITTEST MAN & WOMAN IN THE WORLD ARE…
Matt & Tia…
The Experience Of The CrossFit Games Changes Every Year… Even Before “The Pandemic”…
Whether It’s The WODs… The Locations… The Athletes… The Surprises…
But You Know What Doesn’t Change… And This Kills Me As A STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Coach…
What Doesn’t Change Is The Countless Hours Of Misery & Pain That Goes Into These Athletes Journey To Even Step Foot Into The CrossFit Games Arena…
Whether It’s A Dusty Old Ranch… A Shiny New Soccer Or FootBall Field… A Tennis Arena… An Indoor Stadium… A Freakin’ Ocean… A Pool…
They Never Get To Touch Any Of Those Before They Learn… Develop… Improve… And… ALMOST Master…
The Basics…
I Say Almost Because… You’re Never Gonna Master The Shit That I Throw At You…
Will You Impove??? I Hope So!!! That’s My Goal… As Should Be Yours!!!
My Goals Have Changed…
My Goals As A Person Have Changed…
Do I Want The Heaviest Lift & Fastest Time Of The Day???
It’d Be Nice… But…
Can I Perform The WorkOut of the Day AND Be The Strongest Father For My Son?!?!
If Yes… Then I Won…
My Life Has Went From “Normal”… To Flipped Upside Down… To Being Tossed Into A Washing Machine… To Being… Well… I Don’t Know…
And Tha’ts What These CrossFit Games Athletes “Kinda” Felt…
Except Their Thoughts Were Probably…
“Normal… OK I Got This… Damn… F–K… You’re Joking Right…. F–K It Let’s Do It…”
But You Gotta Think Of All The “Behind The Scene” Work That Goes Into It…
These People Are Literally Some The Strongest… Healthiest… Fittest People On Earth…
You Know How They Got To To That Position…
It Wasn’t By “Just Going A CrossFit Gym”… It Wasn’t By “Just Getting Their CrossFit Level 1 Cert”… It Wasn’t By “Just Participating/Winning A Local CrossFit Competition”…
It Was By SMART Training… Day In & Day Out…
THERE IS SCIENCE BEHIND THE MADNESS…
THERE IS SCIENCE BEHIND THE PROGRAMMING…
I Know How Long The WODs Should Take… I Know How Bad The WODs Are Gonna Hurt…
AND… I FUCKING Go Days & Nights WithOut Sleep Trying To Figure Out YOUR Magic Formula… Even More So Now…
If A Particular Movement Doesn’t Feel Right… SAY SOMETHING!
If A Particular Weight Doesn’t Feel Right… SAY SOMETHING!!
If ANYTHING Doesn’t Feel Right… SAY SOMETHING!!!
Don’t Be Afraid… Speak Up!!!
We Don’t Have A “Cool” Catch Phrase…
When “Walker Byers” Ask What We Do…
I Say…
“Long Term Health & Fitness”…
They Either Walk Away… Or… They Get Interested…
If I Never See Them Again… Well…
For Those That Come Back… For Those Of You Who Keep Coming Back…
RainCross… Long Term Health & Fitness…
