Hey all!
The CrossFit Open is here!
I’m not ready for it, but here we go!

Here’s how I did:
So after the CrossFit Open, I’m feeling like it’s time to get serious about CrossFit.
For the past couple of years, I haven’t improved all that much. Mainly because of injuries. However, I’ve found I’ve become quite complacent, and I don’t like that.
I should have done better at the deadlifts on CrossFit Open 22.2. I should have finished CrossFit Open 22.3 but got stuck on the bar muscle ups. I was just disappointed all around.
So now, I’m putting in place what I need to do to get stronger and to get my skills down.
I don’t want to be good any longer. I want to be more than good.

I did my best yet on CrossFit Open Workout 22.3. It is:
I had dreams of finishing this one, but all I got to was 5 bar muscle ups. I was happy with this, but I wanted more. My bar muscle ups suck. This will be a major push to improve over the next year.

I was excited about this one over CrossFit Open 22.1. However, I was extremely disappointed in my performance. You can see the video below and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more great content today!
For the first time in a long time, I am not looking forward to the CrossFit Open.
It’s not a big deal at my box for Friday Night Lights. Only three other people signed up I think. Dave Castro won’t be doing the announcements. Honestly, he was the only commentator I really liked.
But, I will do the workouts. I moved up to another age division this year, so fewer people to compete against. That’s the one plus.
I was very sad to hear about Dave Castro being fired from CrossFit. Although he had his quirks, he made the CrossFit Open announcements interesting. Plus, there’s no doubt the man knew his CrossFit programming. Taking CrossFit from its beginnings to where it is today is no small feat.
If there’s one constant with humanity, it’s that things change. Still, that doesn’t mean we have to like it or even accept it. All it means is that we move on from here. CrossFit will go on. The question is: will it be better or worse? Only time shall tell.

Today, I re-did CrossFit Open Workout 21.1. This was the first time wall walks were programmed in the Open. The CrossFit workout is:

I smashed my old PR and surprised the crap out of myself. It’s always a good day when you PR.

Every year, a lot of CrossFitters participate in the CrossFit Open in hopes of being tops in their gym, their age group, or to top themselves from last year. We used to be able to compare ourselves in the Region, which gave us some valid numbers. However, this year, it’s you against everyone, which really doesn’t tell you a whole lot. Now, you’re going to have to evaluate yourself.
The CrossFit Open has changed nothing for me. I’m still working the two moves I actually care about: ring muscle ups and handstand walks. These are fun for me. Strict handstand push ups are not. I know in my mind I’m stronger than last year. But the CrossFit Open proved nothing for me, nor will it change anything for me.
What about you? Did the CrossFit Open change your fitness?
