The Workout Almost No-One Can Finish
Post at 15:58 - 10/04/2018

If you can complete this CrossFit session you're stronger than 99.9% of the world

 

For those who haven’t tasted the kool-aid yet (and you really should, it’s very addictive), CrossFit is the self described sport of fitness. It's the high-intensity fitness programme of constantly varied functional movements from several sports and forms of exercise that can benefit a wide range of goals. CrossFit athletes can’t find comfort in only being able to lift heavy, or solely being able to run fast, they must be good across the board.

The sport is now in the third week of its annual CrossFit Open, a five week, world-wide competition open to athletes of all abilities. Athletes compete at their local gym and enter their scores online to determine their worldwide ranking each week, and to say that the workouts have been tough so far would be an understatement.

However, they were nothing compared to this week's torture-fest. The workout released this week was so brutal, the majority of competitors haven't even been able to complete one round.

With that in mind, we've delivered both the full and scaled back version (which is still brutal in its own right). Give this 14 minute scorcher a go, then rest up for a potentially worse smashing next week.
