An in-depth analysis of the Programming in the CrossFit Games landscape including the Worldwide Qualifiers, Age Group Online Qualifiers, Sanctioned Event, the Open, and the CrossFit Games.
We will also sit down with the Individual Programmers from all over the World to talk to them about their Programming Philosophies and the Systems they use for their individual athletes or gyms.

Haley Adams is my absolute favorite athlete to watch! She is the epitome of the type of fit woman I admire most. Her running prowess, gymnastic ability, endurance, strength, and overall fitness combined with a sense of grace and femininity make her so much fun to watch. Thanks to Josh and Hayley for guiding her back to the Games. (Dave's wife)
Great stuff. Qualified for the masters games for the first time this year and added dead hangs to my accessory work. All my lifts have improved - thanks!
An exception to the everyone cheering rule that I think was better than the Madison example. This also took place in Madison. Teams. There was an injury prior to an event. Team given permission to pull a regular member of their gym out of the stands. Event ended with snatch that was way above her best one. Rich & all big competitors & crowd in stands cheering her on & you eventually see her get a snatch at that weight. Het excitement was electric. Was amazing because she was just one of us regular gym athletes.
@@getwiththeprogramming oooh!! That's why they let her comp. Happened so long ago it was fuzzy. Not games but best broadcast moment illustrating that examplem
How did mentioning the athletes height not get brought up? Squats and wallballs “Brent has a much bigger range of motion so Justin is going to catch him with a much faster cycle rate blah blah” Ya no shit. We don’t need an announcer to explain short vs tall athletes, we have eyes. Not including Colton doing box jumps that are to his armpits next to Roman who hardly needs to jump 😂 That’s worth hearing every time
I signed up but disappointed to find no data in the program (yet?). Would love to find a resource that provides actual data from sound research that backs up the health claims of the methodology.
I’m pretty sure Haley won the bike-to-work event in 2022. Is that event not considered monostructural?. Also, “Who is that Pokémon” is an awesome addition!
1. Atlas stone style speed ladder either with actual atlas stones or sandbags. Similar format to the previous barbell speed ladders with 3-4 rounds and cutting down to an eventual top 5 but you could play with either increasing weights or the height of the platform (or both). 2. Pursuit style event where you have 3 sprint couplets that are all very different movements but would take a similar timeframe (2-3mins). At the completion of each couplet every athlete has to wait 1 minute until they start their next couplet. As an example if you finish couplet 1 in 2.12 you start couplet 2 at 3.12 on the clock but if you finish in 2.15 you start couplet 2 at 3.15. You could have a situation where Adler and Medeiros get a small 7-10sec lead across the first 2 couplets but the final couplet is Echo bike and rope climbs and you have Roman, Dallin, Hopper and Fikowski coming to hunt them down. I think the anticipation of that brief period where athletes are waiting in pursuit would have the crowd going nuts. It also removes the unknown we had last year in the intervals event where we had to wait for the all the times to be added up to confirm placements, whoever crosses the finish line first at the end of the of the final couplet wins the event. 3. A death by final event. My first choice would be a barbell cycling complex like Macho Man where the weight could go up every few rounds. 4. Kettlebell Farmer's Carry Hold Elimination. Everyone goes until 5 athletes fail and are eliminated, the remaining athletes get a 30sec rest and step forward to the next weight up. Keep eliminating 5 each round until the top 5 fight it out for the win.
I remember walking into Invictus when I lived in SD and seeing some crazy guy doing muscle ups in a full leg brace…didn’t know at the time but I was watching the legend Josh Bridges
Why don't prognosticators ever have the balls to predict a top 10 finish for a rookie? There's been at least one almost every year back to 2014. 2023 - Jelle Hoste 2022 - Roman Khrennikov, Emma Lawson, Alexis Raptis 2021 - Guilherme Malheiros, Mallory O'Brien 2020 - Justin Madeiros, Jeffrey Adler 2019 - Matt McLeod, Haley Adams, Danielle Brandon 2018 - Willy Georges, Laura Horvath 2017 - Jason Smith, Jamie Simmonds 2016 - Patrick Vellner, Brent Fikowski, 2015 - Tia Clair Toomey, Sara Sigmundsdottir 2014 - Mathew Fraser, Lauren Brooks, Lauren Fisher
@@getwiththeprogramming Of course, but history has shown that rookies are capable of making the top 10 and I would even bet that one will this year, as well.
@@billiame you're right and if we look at the list you made (which is great by the way), we don't think any of these rookies are that caliber this year
@@getwiththeprogramming hindsight is 20/20, right? I'm curious, if we went back to look at everyone's top 10 lists before those years, how many of these athletes were predicted to finish in the top 10?
Very entertaining episode! But sad no one mentioned "you know who does a lot of volume of [insert any movement] - MAYHEM DOES" maybe even more specifically GHDSU and HSW, they always bring this up for some reason 🤐
Another step backwards for CF media. This is nearly on par with when they removed Dave. I really hope they give an explanation but knowing CFHQ we’ll still be speculating right up until day 1 of the games.
THANK YOU CHASE I HATE when people crowd around the last place person, it’s SO demoralizing. I’ve been there, I absolutely HATE it. That’s NOT CrossFit.
@@getwiththeprogramming unsure if I've heard it on the Games coverage. But the phrase is used constantly on every Crossfit podcast. Every day. It is the most unoriginal phrase used in the Crossfit SPACE.
