Ironman Meets the California Bear with Chris Hinshaw, Jason Khalipa, and Garret Fisher 

Garret got 5th and Jason got 2nd is because of the endurance events in the 2013 games. I mean a lot of big names in the games tend to neglect endurance part but focus more on strength. While these two guys were focusing on it so much and they knew strength events are harder to compete coz everyone there is so competitive in strength workout. Really admire these two for putting so much effort in it. Its really good to see how these amazing athletes really incorporate new stuff into their workout to improve their fitness.

I've been using this formula since April of this year. It's absolutely incredible how well it works. I'm a 31 year old civilian and I'm in better shape then when I was a 19 year old active duty Marine. Crossfit and running together will accelerate your fitness tremendously.

i wish Chris could be my coach! seems like such an awesome guy

Crossfit completely changed my Triathlon training and results. I set PRs in most of the Triathlon distances (did not do a 70.3 last year) and did it all with less time committed than when I followed a more traditional triathlon training plan. I will never return to my old training methods.

2:58 minute average at 220lb is unbelievable!

his 50 years old but definitely doesn't look like it, nowadays 50 yr old people look way older

Impressive stuff, good to see Khalipa work that weakness and it made all the difference. Jason didn't blow one workout this year when in past Games he'd shit the bed hard at least once. Very cool.

They are at Foothill College in Los Altos HIlls (near Palo Alto). For a Community College it really is a beautiful campus.

makes me want to start running again honestly

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, makes like much more positive and fulfilling.

Does anybody know the name of the song at 14:00?

But what does that mean? If it takes me 2:47 to run 800 meters, I rest for 2:47 and then run again?

9 hours 15 minutes WTFFF?

Oh and Jason, loosen up those hip flexors buddy!

I would have expected reductions in muscle mass and strength. They did not speak of changes in weight, but said they still got stronger. I wonder how the remainder of their daily training and diet was adjusted. Hopefully an eBook will appear!

I liked Fisher at first, now I hate him. Looks arrogant to me.. I might be wrong tho

Okay that's what I thought but my friend tried to tell me something totally different and it confused me. He was telling me 1:1 is different when talking about KM:Miles. I was like the workout is the same but the distance is different of course.

what s the name of the song at 14:00

Did he say @13:28, Jason can run 10 x 800m under 3 minutes? Doesn't sound right, that translates to 19mph!

Wow,it just inspires me to start crossfit as soon as I can find a near class. Amazed by his story:)

Nice video but I could do without the incredibly corny background music...

haha that's exactly what my buddy said when i showed him this! A grizzly bear

What was the track workout? 10x800m but how long do you rest?

Did you even watch the video? He said 1:1 rest more than once.

Yes!

Awesome Chris! Thanks for your contribution to the community!

garret isnt douchey or dumb hes just a little awkward

Jesus...khalipa is amazing. Strength and endurance
