WHO IS GOING TO THE CROSSFIT GAMES?

After three gruelling weeks of competition, the 2016 CrossFit Regionals come to a close. As the second step en route to the CrossFit Games, Regionals serves as the midway point in the competition season. Taking the forty fittest men, women and teams from each Region through a series of tests over the course of three days, to find the elite.

With an intense battle in each region, we have forty qualifiers in each division. Amongst this list, there has been a 66% attrition rate, meaning that 66% of past competitors did not make it back to the CrossFit Games. This makes way for sixteen men and twelve women making their first appearance at the CrossFit Games.

16.1 is 7 Minute AMRAP of Muscle Ups

Screenshot 2016-02-18 07.20.39

Is this real life? Could this be happening? CrossFit Open Workout 16.1 is 7 Minute AMRAP of Muscle Ups?

Well that’s just great isn’t it! We can hear you saying “I don’t have my muscle ups”, or  “I can’t quite string them together”. How could this be happening, it’s not even one week into the open and i’m already out of the running! (EDIT: Need Help, check out this guide).

In true Dave Castro fashion, the hype towards the launch of the 2016 CrossFit Season has us all scratching our heads wondering “What if”, “What will the first workout be”.

CrossFit HQ put together this video to make sure we are practicing those muscle ups in the lead up.

Enjoy superstars Dan Bailey and Brooke Ence hit the workout, together with “The Dave Castro” himself.

CrossFit Open 16.1 Announcement Cho v Abbott

CrossFit Open Announcement 16.1 Abbott vs. Cho

After competing against each other in the 2015 CrossFit Games and the CrossFit Invitational, Chyna Cho and Emily Abbott are set to kick off proceedings for the 2016 CrossFit Open.

Held at NorCal CrossFit on Thursday the 25th of February (Friday 26th of February Australian Time), this will be the first of five workouts for the 2016 CrossFit Season.

With both athletes finishing inside the top 10 at the last CrossFit Games, arguably Cho would have the edge finishing 6th compared to the Canadian Abbott who finished two places behind in 8th. However as we know, it will come down to which movements CrossFit Games Director Dave Castro throws up.

The WOD Life are excited for the announcement and will be bringing you information throughout the CrossFit Open, including workout announcements, strategy guides and tips to make it your best year yet.
