Behind the Scenes - 2012 CrossFit Games: Friday, Part 3

Hear from a host of athletes-including Annie Sakamoto, Graham Holmberg and Matt Chan-in this installment of Sevan Matossian's Behind the Scenes series at the 2012 Reebok CrossFit Games.
"Experience is huge, I think," says 2010 Games champion Holmberg as he does mobility work. "I mean you can see some guys that are just kinda like, 'Oh, the schedule's changing,' and this and that, but it's like, 'It's just the Games, man.'"
Next, catch highlights from the Medball-HSPU workout on the stadium floor with defending champ Rich Froning, emerging podium contender Kyle Kasperbauer and the legendary Chris Spealler.
After the workout, Games Director Dave Castro grabs Spealler's hand.
"Good job," he tells him.
As Spealler walks off, Castro turns toward the camera.
"He's disappointed."
At the end of the day, we find Spealler rowing alongside Chan for active recovery.
"The pressure right now, I don't feel it this year," says Chan, who has competed in every edition of the Games since 2008. "I feel like I just need to come and execute more than anything. I've done a better job at training myself this year than I have in the past."

[@Kjeserud]

The interviewer on these vids needs to do all the interviews on HQ videos. Questions are good for once!

[@naknak45]

Graham reminds me of Toby from The Office.

[@Ismacrossfit]

Matt Chan, getting interviewed while rowing like a baws!

Best part was Speal cleaning that med ball that was just under his body weight.

[@dhurbapanta]

My coworkers laughed when I told them I would bulk up with "MegaMAX Muscle Maker", but then I showed them the results. Google "MegaMAX Muscle Maker" to see their reaction. (You should see their shock!)

[@Cl0wen]

More. Fast!

[@amaldanushka3013]

It would be a shame if you did not get stronger when normal people do it easily with "MegaMAX Muscle Maker" (Look it up on google).

[@Hardcorelander]

Look at Rich in the background around 0:45 , he looks kinda like a midget because of the lens on the camera :)

[@gyanshrestha4928]

[@dhurbapanta]

It would be a shame if you did not get ripped when normal people do it so easily using "MegaMAX Muscle Maker" (check it out on Google).

[@WanKiddFong]
