CF Games Events

So much anticipation! The 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games is set to kick off this Wednesday and there are still many unknowns about the challenges the athletes will face!

A few events have been released so far, including a couple of classic benchmark tests - 30 muscle ups for time and the CrossFit Total (1rm deadlift, press, and back squat). There have been hints for other events also, with one clue simply being a picture of a Trek road bike... so who knows what that could be??

One event that looks both incredibly cool and grueling, is Event 5, called "The Battleground". This is a combination of many different abilities as it is an extended aerobic effort with an obstacle course, rope climbs, and dummy drags mixed in... all while wearing a weight vest. Check out the video below, they're definitely making use of all the space the venue in Madison has to offer!

You can find out more information about the workouts as they get released by going HERE. It is going to be an amazing spectacle this year I'm sure, and you can watch it all live or catch up with itemized events through games.crossfit.com.
