We’re just three weeks out from the 2018 CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, which means the fittest athletes on Earth are putting the final touches on a year’s worth of preparation to get to this point. Most of the work has already been completed — the hay is in the barn, if you will — as the 40 men and 40 women in the individual competition, plus the team and masters/teen competitors, will taper so that their bodies are ready for the grueling five-day test that awaits. 

In case you missed last week’s big news, the CrossFit Games has secured its home through 2021, agreeing to stay in Madison, Wisconsin, for the next four iterations of the epic fitness event.

It’s time for the next workout of the Granite Games qualifier, so hopefully you submitted your scores from last week’s first workout and are ready for another grueling test. The Road to Minnesota for the 2018 Granite Games — September 7-9 in St. Cloud, Minnesota — will make a pit stop this week at the pull-up bar, dumbbell rack, and barbell, as this week’s two workouts promise to exploit any strength endurance weaknesses you may have.
