Re: 2013 Open, Regionals and Games Thread
I may be one of the few that thinks thrusters WON'T be in 13.5, since it would be the 3rd time going overhead, 4th if you count the snatches. I think Pullups/C2B are a given, supplemented with front...

Re: 2013 Open, Regionals and Games Thread
I would contend that even though the wall ball isn't a true squat, it did demand a full depth squat in the movement, which is why I believe squats may be saved for 13.5. I also don't think there will...

Re: 13.3 'Déjà vu' strategy.
Last year I broke the Wall Balls down like this: 30-15-15-10's the rest of the way with short breaks. By getting the first 60 done while fresh, you are already over 1/3rd through them. Once you hit...

Re: Inov8 Flite 230 vs NB Minimus MT20
Just don't get the MT20v2 (version 2). I had a pair for a few months and they are already beat to s**t, and the rope climbs on 31 heroes was the last straw... I feel like they were made with real...

Re: What makes a scaled team scaled?
Sure, the scaled "top prize" may not be nearly as big, but think of it from the position of someone competing in the scaled division, and is likely new to competition. You don't think they are just...

Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
Honestly, if Froning stays healthy throughout regionals and the games, the title is his to lose. If he goes out there and performs to his potential, it's all over.
This may be the most obvious...

Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
Thoughts on what we might see on 12.5 tomorrow and what we probably won't see.
Likely:
-General "Heavyness"
-Pull-ups, has to be some form of pull-ups
-Deadlifts, everyone wants them, something...

Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
I had to re-jump a few times... if you are to miss the target at all, get those jumps out of the way early. It REALLY sucks to re-jump after burpee 80 and 90... no bueno.
