CrossFit Games 2010




Steelfit had the opportunity to spend some time in Carson, CA at the 2010 CrossFit Games this past weekend. Cheering on friend Blair Morrison (Anywherefit) and others was a blast; so much talent, strength and grit displayed by all.

About two weeks ago I made a passing comment that I personally needed some inspiration to breathe some life back into my gym work; this weekend did the trick for sure.

The final event at the games on Sunday afternoon (involving rope climbs, scaling walls, overhead lifts and so much more) was unbelievably hard and so much fun to watch. But it was the Day 2 individual event to start the day (Double Helen) that was right up Steelfit's alley...........72 pull ups in all, but lots of running and Kettlebell swings on top.

For time:

Run 1200 meters
63 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
36 Pull-ups
Run 800 meters
42 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
24 Pull-ups
Run 400 meters
21 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
12 Pull-ups

It's almost time for an update to Steelfit's favorite pull up "centric" workouts and I suspect that this one will make the cut.

Congrats to all of the athletes for competing this weekend!
