CrossFit Games - Sixth for Speal

CrossFit Games (games.crossfit.com/video/sixth...)
CrossFit Journal (journal.crossfit.com).
Relive the riveting moments of the South West Regional, where the legendary Chris Spealler qualified for his sixth CrossFit Games with a remarkable performance. On July 13 at the Home Depot Center, he will stand alone as the only athlete to compete as an individual in all six CrossFit Games.
Watch as he prepares for each of the three days and hits a PR in the snatch-ladder event to put him in contention for a trip to California.
"I still didn't know. I still thought that it was a little bit of long shot," Spealler says. "Five-point spread going into the last workout is not something you want."
But being the underdog is something the Utah athlete says he enjoys.
"Kind of doing stuff you're not supposed to do-I like that."
In the end, Spealler continues, it's not about the guys on the podium but the ones who give it their all.
"That is what inspires people-not a place, but watching someone just pour their heart and soul out into something. You see that often in CrossFit."

Love this video. Loved when the guy aligning him said "The Power God put in side of you is going to show right now"

[@DominicMunnellythisistheway]

Hands down one of the most motivating vids hq has put up in quite some time. The guy is a legend and think I would be star struck meeting him

[@kyucklebeans]

Man, I didn't get into Crossfit until late 2014...missed the Froning era, missed the Speal Appeal...sad! This is why I want Froning to go individuals again.

[@shannon1664]

I was lucky enough to have him as an instructor in level 1, nothing like a world class athlete and amazing person watching to make you go way harder and faster than you thought you could. Great guy. When I saw he'd made it I was thankfully alone in the house, because the whooping and hollering were epic.

[@tacp20th]

Nicely put together video guys again Speal all the way!

[@gabby7313]

I like this dude. Very humble.

[@HoCKeYFre4k]

absolutely love these kind of videos

[@gingerboosh42]

best video crossfithq has ever done

[@Drumwannabe17]

That was by far the most creative comeback anyone has ever used on me. Congratulations, I am unbelievably impressed with your depth of creativity and apparent ability to know the extent of my intelligence by reading a two-sentence long youtube comment. Way to go, you should get a medal for that one.

[@ccetdany]

Great video... He is definitely the one I'll be cheering for at the Games. If only he could come to my level 1 in switzerland :(

[@fearedxblade]

this is why crossfit is in a league all by itself

[@20NJ12]

Best vid iv seen in a while... and iv watched a few xfit vids. Speal deal! awesome

[@ClarenceCarter12]

Speal is my favorite! The games would've been so weird without him.

[@picaccu83]

chris spealler the legend!

[@Fixyoshitson]

Chris Spealer is the best person.

[@bochidanya]

increible motivacion ...Eso es actitud y determinacion...

[@jonnyo424]

Love this. Though if you look at Spealler finishing Event 6, based on the video, you can see in the background that Matt Chan actually finishes/drops down from the rings after Speal. I know that the scores are official and everything, so once they sign the scorecard that's it, but I'd say Speal actually won that event. That's one of the dangers of judges all using different stopwatches I guess...

[@catcobbler]

speal is a legend

[@simontherien]

this was motivating

[@meganfownig11]

I love the chiropractor in this video

[@thomas3718]

I had the same thought during the games!

[@maxsuplex]

When "Beast Mode" doesn't suffice... you need to kick into "Spealler Mode".

[@lexflynn1994]

lets spread love not hate bro, we are all united on earth, lets build each other up

[@PJGettinIt]

im not the biggest guy by a long shot but speal gives me mad motivation to throw some weight in the air.

[@marjensendk]

Thanks for the heads up, great to hear that there was no matchfixing :) it just looked suspicious at first :)

[@jemoholic1983]

notice how that bar is biting speals leg!!!

[@OrganicGonzalez]

Beast inspiration amazing

[@mollyparkpark]

This is what makes crossfit

[@marjensendk]

Don't tell me that Matt didn't help a friend here, by waiting with his last muscle up... :)

[@billwinter]

Chris should get a invite to every games. He has done so much for Crossfit he should get a bi.

[@crazytiger4690]

[@rhythmnsmoke]

Well yea, Speal finished before Matt. Not sure where you are going with the whole stop watch thing.

[@efarmer385]

that's fucking rad

[@ccetdany]

Just watching this tears me up... Speal is the real deal.

[@Sammichaelsmith]

"The Chris Spealler Award"

[@MrTrevorsaurusrex]

if that doesn't fire you up, you're obviously dead inside

[@mav7009]

Best fucking video everrrrrrrr

[@MegaUnavailableusern]

the judges really need to be more strict, he clearly did no lockout for the first 2 reps

[@esasan]

just like your name change the e to a I, you get.......? :P

[@RadicalVideos]

fucking inspiring

[@rhidiandavies1991]

Glad I'm not the only person that found that mildly offensive!

[@LHD4life]

"that power god put inside you is gonna show" how insulting to chris, god had nothing to do with his years of hard training

[@tutulkhan1457]

Hey, have you heard of MUSCLEADER (look on Google)? There you can watch a useful free video demonstrating the way to build noteworthy muscles fast while burning fat at the same time. Chris and hundreds of guys with the same goal had good success utilizing this system. It might work for you also.

[@nivyasinha7449]

Hey there, have you considered "MuscLeader" (search on Google)? On their website you can watch a useful free video demonstrating how to build noteworthy muscle really fast while losing unwanted fat as well. Geoff is one of the many men which enjoyed great results applying this strategy. I hope it will help you as well.

[@Drumwannabe17]

Chris would have gone nowhere without God's help, that's a fact. He may be an incredible athlete, but God had everything to do with his success.

[@mchealy90]

5:46 "Just, uh, just praying. Trying to get my head straight...just praying, cause I... I can't do this stuff on my own, so I need a little help." Doesn't seem like Chris would find it insulting at all. Now, you might find it offensive if you trained for years and don't believe in God, but you're not Chris Spealler, are you?

[@russellmad8434]

God has everything to do with it.

[@thetrooper42]

Matt Hathcock disliked this.
