The Festivus Games at Pyro is Saturday April 21st. 22 athletes registered so far with 3 months to go, this is going to be so much fun!!! This is an individual, super friendly, for everyone competition. When we say it’s for everyone, this is exactly what it means. Have a look at the link below for the workouts. The workouts are accessible and doable by everyone, with experience or not, even if you don’t like competition. You have to see this like a challenge, it’s not about winning or your rank on the leaderboard, it’s all about being part of it, doing your best and having fun.

The 2018 CrossFit Games Open is right around the corner. The Open starts Thursday February 22nd and goes for 5 weeks. The workouts will be posted every Thursday night and you’ll have 5 days, until Monday 5pm to perform and enter your score. Over 300,000 athletes did it last year, this is the CrossFit event of the year. This is also the 1st stage to qualify for the CrossFit Games. Less than 1% advance to regionals and then 1% of that makes it to the games. But just like the Festivus games, the Open is not about your rank, how you perform or qualifying to the next stage, it’s about you, doing your best, being part of it, doing things you never thought capable of. Just like any other workouts at Pyro, there will be Rx and Scaled. Pull ups become jumping pull ups, double unders become single unders, loads are scaled down, this is truly for everyone. Some of you won’t be comfortable with it and that’s exactly why you should sign up. If it makes you uncomfortable, this is where you’re going to have the most to adapt and therefore get the most results. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. We’ll have some surprises regarding the Open soon. Stay tuned

Strength
15min to find 1RM back squat
Note: This week has been hard on the testing, front squat Monday, the other total on Wednesday with the clean, bench and overhead squat and today back squat. We’re also doing the CrossFit total on Sunday February 4th so today is your time hit a good number and get a good idea where you’re at. Whatever your front squat was on Monday, aim for at least 15% more on the back squat (your front squat should be about 85% of your back squat).
METCON

Add 1 rep every minute until you can no longer complete all the reps in the minute. Your score is your total reps completed
Example: Minute 10 + 5 reps in the 11th minute completed = 55 reps + 5 = 60 reps total
