Coaches Notes

Diane was the first individual workout in the CrossFit Regional event this year. If you haven’t been following, check out games.crossfit.com for coverage. Each week a handful of other regions host the event. The top men and women from each region will compete in the CrossFit Games. This past weekend Chris Spealler, a long time CrossFit favorite, made an amazing comeback to qualify. He set a record for this workout with a time of 1:52. Check it out below:

  1. Wow! Awesome video! I should watch something like that every morning to get me motivated. I heart Speal!

  2. That’s video is pretty crazy.

    7:02 with 185# and around 6 hspu before going to a harness.

  3. 8:00. 115#, green and blue band harness. I giggled when I looked up at the clock at 1:52 into the workout. Speal is amazing.

  4. Spealler is bad ass and I don’t think I could ever come close to sub 5 mins much less sub 2. However that being said, did it look like he might have only opened up 90-95% of the way on some of those reps to anyone else?

    • I think it’s hard to tell because he was going so fast and opening just barely enough. The judge was trying to get him to open up a little more so that it was more obvious because she didn’t want to no-rep him.

      • Who in their right mind would want to no-rep that guy?

    • Some of the deadlifts were iffy. You can hear the judge telling him to open all the way up on a few of the reps. Still a completely ridiculous time even if some of the reps were a little short.

    • Yes Blake I noticed that too. However as I can do only do about two HSPU I thought I’d keep my opinions to myself today.

    • the deadlifts looked very iffy. perhaps it was the angle of the video, but on a lot of those lifts his shoulders looked like they were significantly in front of his hips.

  5. I don’t even want to think about where I was this morning at the 1:52 mark. Amazing vid.
