CFCM will be hosting a CrossFit throwdown/competition on May 3rd and everyone is encouraged come and compete. It will be supporting It’s Time Texas, a Texas non-profit whose mission is to empower people to lead healthier lives and build healthier communities.

The workout will be a Fight Gone Bad style workout and is designed for athletes of all levels. You can register here.

Another season of the CrossFit Games has come to an end for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to Regionals. But worry not, for the real competition was with yourself. If you entered, then you know how these five workouts pushed you beyond what you thought your limits were. If you can walk away from the Open a little bit stronger mentally and physically then that is a win.

15.1 is only 47 weeks way. Better get back to training.

Athletes,

Just wanted to give you some analysis and initial thoughts for 14.2.

The Chest 2 Bar pullups are going to be the sticking point for many (myself included). If this is you, you have to focus on doing a good rep, each time. The important part of the scoring standard to remember is that a part of your body, below the collarbone, has to contact the bar. Watch the video on the games website for the other judging standards.

If you’re going to be knocking out a bunch of pull-ups, you might consider taping your hands. I will have tape for the #amcrew. Taping your hands for pull-ups video
