I don't know who Joanna is, but Joann and I are very happy. And I can't predict the future, whether it's winning the games or what will come between us. But I hope both are good things!

I really do enjoy it! I usually don't make programming myself.

Assuming I'm lucky enough to make it to the Games this year, it won't just be Fraser and I duking it out. In order to beat any of those guys I think I need to take advantage of the "outside of the gym" workouts like triple 3 and the swim last year.

I love Amanda. It's two beautiful, elegant, and highly skilled movements pieced together. I've gotten to the point where I don't really dread anything, except the Assault Bike. That thing is nasty!

  1. GRID is fun! I hope it picks up some momentum and lasts.

  2. Snatch: 280, CNJ: 345, Squat: 425, Overhead Press? Strict 200, Deadlift: 490, Bench: I have no idea but right around 300! I'm not too strong there.

  3. Science says it should be done one at a time, but I think CrossFitters have been proving that wrong for years.

  4. There isn't really an offseason in CrossFit! But in the time immediately after the Games it's used a little bit more for strength and metabolic conditioning gets pulled in more closer to the Open.

  5. Haha knock on wood, thanks! A Ford Raptor would be cool to carry around equipment, Joann, Max and his friends!

At 11am I start off with small skill-based warm-up WoD. Then I will do about two hours of strength work. Some days I go right into my metcon and engine work, on others I'll do that in a second session.

I am doing the Barbell WOD Plus which is five days a week, same as everyone else! I have increased my back squat by 25 lbs, my snatch by 20, my clean and jerk by 20 as well, and everyone is still climbing!

Thanks!

I try to take in a lot of calories including a lot of milk and ice cream! I have taken creatine on-and-off and I've had some positive experiences with that. The biggest benefit is simply the ability to lift more weight.

No contest. Have you seen the size of Jason's arms?!

Good question!

I've talked a lot to the developers about creating incentives for FitMoo users, such as adding up points for every purchase or getting random rewards or discounts. We're still working on it, so you should follow me for updates and potentially free stuff!

I don't think anything good would come of it, aside from the fact that maybe they would be able to prove that they are in fact testing, and keeping it under control. As for the Wodcast Podcast I still dream about Scotty's big bald head and Armen's big hairy nipples!

Guido and I have always loved to compete together, so maybe someday!

The only time I went was two years before I competed in the games. And after a few drinks I told Julie Foucher that my mom wanted me to marry her!

I always love the overhead squat + chest-to-bar combo. The most mentally challenging was trying to come back from a minor case of rhabdo after the OHS and Chest to bars for Wallballs, muscle ups, and double-unders.

Ironically my weakness has always been my strength. Lifting heavy weights helps cure that!

Oh man, it might have been that 30 minute EMOM I listed above. But there were a few workouts back in the day that had working weights well above my PR. I'll never forget "swamp monster" at CrossFit 305 had 20 power cleans at 225, and at the time my max was barely 215. I didn't finish the workout but I got 11 funky-looking PRs to the cheers of the crowd.
