The Bridges Controversy

Josh Bridges won the CrossFit Open Workout 16.4 with a score of 330. But with this win, a ground swell of controversy emerged. The CrossFit Games veteran’s reps came into question.

Is it the camera?

Is it the angle?

Is he just moving so fast it’s hard to tell?

To compare, let’s take Rich Froning who scored 315 reps. The four time CrossFit Games champion executes the movement standards we all aspire. You will be able to view the difference in form between Bridges and Froning.

With all of the controversy surrounding Josh Bridges 330 reps we will allow you to watch the video below and let you decide…

We all love a good “Bro Sesh”.

A time where you can get together with your mates, some friendly banter & some competition.

Write the WOD up on the blackboard, load up the barbell, set the timer and go.

CrossFit Games competitors Dan Bailey and Josh Bridges hit a tidy little Bro Sesh down in Josh’s house in San Diego, California.
