Getting your toes to the bar involves the shoulder angle closing, the thighs compressing to the torso, and finally the toes towards the bar. Keeping the eyes on target help connect it all together.

First off, great job to everyone who came by and threw down on Saturday- so much effort in doing wall walks in a fashion we don’t practice: off the ground and for higher volumes! Thanks for not shattering your kneecaps!
Second of all, we heard you and want to make it a little more clear: we’re using the CrossFit Games Open as a testing opportunity, along with specific workouts during the week. Then our programming beginning in April will be designed to improve most aspects of what we tested.
Third, we have opened up two spots on Mondays during GT Hours for those who need to makeup or redo their work. RSVP!
Also:
So if you’re officially registered to play worldwide, make sure you submit your scores as soon as possible each time you do the weekly event!

Although designed not to bounce, our goal in slam ball is to throw the ball down so powerfully you can catch the ball off of the tiny bounce it produces IF you keep your hands low to the ground.

Not only do we have Daylight Savings taking an hour away, but we’ll begin a testing phase with the CGO beginning this weekend. Regardless of how you feel of the organization the past year we’re going to take the workout and simply use them in programming, specifically on Saturdays for the next three weeks. Classes will also feature a handful of tests that allow us to aim our programming and guide you to increasing your fitness.
If you want to play along you still have a chance to register under Foundation. This will be my 11th year participating. This should be a nice spark to kickstart some training commitment for many, myself included.
See you Saturday where we will test out one-hour classes. RSVP via PushPress!
For those who have mobility issues, the trap bar is always a nice option to claim best positions without putting yourself as risk of injury.

Here’s your workout tomorrow:
It’s pretty gnarly.
We’re going to increase the amount of time for the workout and we’ll do our best to prepare you for it, but if you’re interested in a tad more strategy then check this out. With all of the burpee complex practice and pogo jumping volume we’ve been trying to hit I think you’ll be more comfortable on the ground and bouncing off of the ground, but we’ll see.
Do you have a previous effort you can research and improve upon? I just checked my journal and all my notes said were “QUADS. ON. FIRE.” 😩
Did you know 5-time CrossFit Games Champion Mat Fraser recently started his own YouTube channel? Recently they released a segment called The Fraser Files where he breaks down some of his previously-recorded efforts and weirdly enough it’s #18point2!
