The GrossFit Games 2020 finals played out as expected: it was really hard, not a lot of people were there, there were some surprising workouts, and in the end, the fittest people were crowned. Mat Fraser and Tia Toomey continued their strangle hold on the title of worlds fittest, basically dominating every aspect of the competition. Of 12 events, Tia won 9 events, Fraser won 10 and Katrin returned to the podium. It was exciting to watch the young studs Justin Mederios (21 years old from Lodi!) and Haley Adams (19) really push the big dogs over the weekend, even if they came up short. It should be fun to watch. One thought – don’t ask me when we are gonna do Atalanta. It’s not gonna happen. But in honor of the Games, let’s do a big, loud, nasty workout.

Friday’s workout is an old school CrossFit.com classic. It’s kind of a strength session, but fitness will rear it’s ugly head. Ideally, every lift will build on the previous one. I would try to start smart on the should press. I would go up by 10 pounds in the early parts, and maybe 5 pounds as the reps get higher. You should not “re-warm-up” from one lift to the next – just keep going up. This whole workout should be done from the rack. If you are looking to get in some extra work, drop the bar from overhead each round. Clean it up for the return to the rack. Your score is all 15 lifts added up.

Don’t forget to bring extra layers since it won’t be as warm as when we originally planned this 🙂 “Here is a list of some basic equipment Tim recommends: Sun Protection: I do (still) recommend sunscreen First Aid – a basic first aid kit would be good to have. I am one who has had to dip into my first aid kit a time or two. WATER. I would recommend 1.5-2 L. If you have a Camelback, GREAT! but not necessary. Food- Protein/quest bars, trail mix and maybe some packets of applesauce. Backpack – I recommend something small that can hold the above items. Clothing – Long sleeves, pants, a hat and shoes with good traction. I recommend lightweight fabrics that breath well and allow you to move freely. Optional items – hiking poles, toiletries (because...
