What are the CrossFit Games?

“In implementation, this looks like sport. This is revolutionary. It's as distinctive of the program as are the movements and the charter of functionality and variance. Our workouts are competitive events.

The strength and value of CrossFit lies entirely within our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate.”

Greg Glassman, CrossFit Co-Founder & CEO
3, 2, 1 — GO!

Hey Tony,

Who is the judge that evaluates bodies?

By sevan on July 3, 2008 11:40 PM

Sevan,
I gather by your question that you hope it's you?

were his chest & thighs touching the ground? It looked like shirt & shorts made it... i couldn't tell if his body made contact with the ground.

you guys are sure making dutch do a lot of exercise for demonstration purposes in the days leading up to the competition!

By john heins on July 4, 2008 7:41 AM

I ask if those count because I was practicing by slamming my body into the ground. I would prefer to do them like dutch if it's allowed.

I was going to ask the same question that Josh Everett asked. I didn't think that the chest and thighs were touching the ground on the video.
