The first CrossFit competition I’ve ever done was 10 years ago, almost to the day. After the very first CrossFit Games in the summer of 2007, CrossFit Oakland (where I was working out at the time) was preparing their competitors for the upcoming 2008 CrossFit Games in Aromas, California. CrossFit Oakland hosted a throwdown for […]

Monday Rather than 15 minutes straight AMRAP this one is broken up with just a little run and some double unders. Even though it’s not the same movement pattern, the double unders can still make the pullups and pushups challenging, so Rx’d, ADV. and BEEF folks should break up the pushups or ring dips […]
