3x5 back squat heavy/ drop weight to 60% complete max reps for 60 second

Summer 2018 isn’t even officially here, but already the fitness community can look forward to 2019 with today’s release of the dates for The Wodapalooza Online Challenge and Qualifier. Wodapalooza brings out a monster swell of the fitness community each January — with 25,000 spectators and 1,500 athletes representing countries all over the world, Miami in the new year is the place to be for fans, beginners, and fitness stars alike. 

On Thursday, CrossFit, Inc. filed suit against Reebok for “breach of contract,” “breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing,” and “violations of Massachusetts General Laws Ch. 93A (aka the Consumer Protection Act.)” 

The Road to Minnesota for the 2018 Kill Cliff Granite Games begins in earnest this week with the announcement of the first of three qualifying workouts. Fitness athletes across the globe will tackle the weekly qualifying tests — spanning from now to July 2 — with the shared goal of joining the 2,000 strong slated to compete September 7-9 in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

In this final week, you’ll finish tapering for max lifts on Saturday. Make sleep and nutrition a priority this week!

After three straight weekends of qualifying mayhem at the 2018 CrossFit Regionals, the fields of 40 men and 40 women moving on to the 2018 CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, are set. There were breathtaking performances from past champions, many first-time qualifiers, and, of course, heartbreak for those who came up just short of the cutline across the globe in the nine dramatic qualifying events. Overall, each of the nine regionals lived up to the hype and more.

Raw strength day- everything is performed in super sets until you reach a functioning weight which you sustain for as along as possible 

As you probably know, the Kill Cliff Granite Games is one of the most badass events of the year, and it'll air live from Minnesota on FloElite this fall. We've got a few months before things get real, but the qualifying workouts begin very, very soon — and the team at Granite Games just released the first hint.

You’ll begin tapering a bit this week in preparation for snatch and clean and jerk maxes next. Saturday: NO MISSES on heavy single squat attempts

It’s hard to believe it, but upon the conclusion of this weekend’s Atlantic, Pacific, and Meridian Regionals, the CrossFit Games will be less than two months away. Summer may still be a few weeks out, but the heat is already here, and the best fitness athletes in the world are rounding into shape for a shot at the biggest prize in the sport.
