Thursday 10/10

Owen doing dumbbell step-ups. How do you hold the dumbbell?

Today is the beginning of the 2020 CrossFit Games Open! The workout will be released tonight at 5pm PST on games.crossfit.com.

This is significant because not only is it our SECOND CrossFit Games Open this year, but we won’t have another until October 2020.

Register if you want to potentially win some prizes and throw down with your swole mates at FCF’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, but you can also do that without registering.

If you plan to participate, please PARTICIPATE! Go all five weeks and let’s set an example of what your fitness really is.

Remember: the goal is to lockout the skeleton so the loading sits on STRUCTURE, not on a specific joint or area, which is what happens when you don’t lockout everything completely.
