THE 2017 CROSSFIT GAMES

[@anabelpump]

I like the new slow motion clips 👍👍 Good job guys!

[@deandimarco4407]

Yoooo. Jamie and the jam and team richie. Epic. Jamie's editing and your blogs bro. Perfection.

[@deandimarco4407]

I'm taking Craig in a partner wod btw.

[@deandimarco4407]

The wod welder from rogue!!!!!!!!!! Fuckin miracle. Havnt ripped in months. Jinx

[@lofimage417]

Man you are learning and growing. Each vlog is entertaining, definitely a must watch every day!

[@sarawysor1382]

I always love the music in your videos!! Is there a way you could list the names of the songs you use in each video?? That would be amazing!!! 😁

[@gordo608]

I work as a welder so my hands take a beating at work and the gym. Go get some emery cloth from the hardware store, rip a bit off the roll, wrap it around a fat marker or piece of dowel that's 10mm or thicker and sand down your calluses. You don't need to take them off just get them thinned out to the point of being flexible. If they are hard lumps they are more likely to rip. If they're super think you can use a flat faced nail clipper to trim them down before sanding them. Also I use a very thin layer of coconut oil on my hands rather than lotion.

[@Austinpowers750750]

Gordon Wagner that legit works. I use the metal file on my Swiss Army knife to file my callouses down.

[@casiepreslar950]

Gordon Wagner great tips, but outside of that, BUY SOME GRIPS. Yes, I know, you need the calluses, but the grips will keep them from tearing, not from forming. It's an inexpensive way to save yourself a lot of pain.

[@Mr12funkymonkeys]

Gordon Wagner The top ten listener?

[@gordo608]

Shaun Lumley one and the same. Lol

[@Mr12funkymonkeys]

Gordon Wagner ha ha. I should just stalk you more and find all the best crossfit content + tips & tricks to being an elite intermediate subscriber ;-P. Those bast#rds never answer my q's

[@magdaboudi]

Loved the editing 😍😍😍

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Magda Boudi Thankyou 😙😊

[@jurajpilka8397]

TeamRICHEY man that type of workout editing is a way to go 😉 I know that it takes much more time but content quality would go up immensely... keep inspiring people and stay the best CF vlogger on YT .....greetings from Slovakia...been there since 2500 subs ☺️

[@lpnedwards]

Second, third, and fourth that! So awesome.

[@samvall3482]

Fraser, B.Smith, Fikowski, Bidges, A. Smith & Tia, Davidsdottir, Sigmunds, Camile, Kari Pearce. The female top 3 is gonna be insane. With Sara at Mayhem with Froning the GOAT, Tia no stress of the olympics and insane cardio and Katrin still training like the champion plus the addition of Ben Bergeron, Its Going To Be Insane.

[@samvall3482]

Sara wont break top 2 and Camile wont podium because their mindset is so fragile, especially Camile. Also Kara webb could be a dark horse to podium. Vellner and Fikowski are 50/50 however, I think with Fikowskis Olympic lifting making leaps and bounds i think he'll nab a podium finish.

[@fabuliciouss7208]

I think Fikowski is going to take everyone by surprise. He somehow seems to be overlooked by everyone. Last year, he won 4 out of 15 events. He's pretty much untouchable on odd object stuff, amazing on long cardio workouts that require strategy, has a big advantage on all the machine workouts(rower, skierg, assault bike,...) because of his height, and his olympic lifting and powerlifting has improved massively since last year. On top of that, it seems like he went pretty easy the first 2 days last year, as it was his first time at the games. imo, he's just too smart and hard working to not end up on the podium this year

[@Jp_Fly1]

You guys have a phenomenal channel. Absolutely love it ;)

[@drewaddify]

G.R.E.A.T. editing! Follow both channels here from CA....great work fellas!

[@tia-clairtoomeyshaneorr5705]

I think I have a new best friend!

[@jsouzacampos]

Jamie and the Jam... I'm eager to see your version of this video. You and Richey smashed it.!!! Love you! I go for Tia at the games.

[@Metalfund]

CRAIG, YOU ADDED 2500 subscribers in the last couple of days!! Congrats...

[@jamiehawthorne1]

Watch Nile Wilsons video on how to look after your hands!!! Best video ever !!!

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Anonymous will go check it out!!

[@jamie.dop_]

Appreciate that. Thanks bud

[@stevedeath634]

And for repairing your rips use wod welder, it's a handy balm, speeds up the healing. It's about a tenner, works an absolute treat and lasts ages.

[@zacheich]

For the calluses, check out a callus file. Get the double side kind, one side looks like a cheese grater and the other like sand paper. Then you use it in the shower when your skin is softer to keep the callus area all flat. They rip when they get too raised from the rest of your skin. I rock climb a lot in addition to CrossFit and have a lot of callus built up, but keeping it filed down I very rarely rip.

[@Kenten2]

[@bastierx8782]

This vlog was epic!! Really nice editing. I really enjoyed it.

[@TeamRICHEY]

+bastierXfit glad you enjoyed it 😊🤘🏼🔥

[@rossgribble3625]

Hey buddy been watching your channel a lot recently! Have known MAJ for about 10 years and love seeing her in your vids! My tip for callouses make sure you file em down regularly and don't let the dead skin build up I use HEMP cream from Body shop seems to work awesomely for me. Keep up the vids mate!!!

[@justinjohnson3915]

I'm a KB guy so lots of hand maintenance. Soak hands a couple times a week and hit the callouses with a pumice stone or a callous shaver and you'll be good to go. You don't want them to get too built up, thats when they start to pull and tear. Good luck!

[@ceciliesunde3388]

Seriously watched the workout scenes 100 times!!! Epic

[@clarissafigueroa2308]

Sick edits! Always look forward to your videos

[@miemaxwell-smith1205]

hand care- wodwelder. their cream is so thick. put on at night before bed. make sure to shave down callous' every 3-4 days and once shaved (either with callous saver from tweezerman or disposable razor) file down with pumice stone. if you tear then make sure keep clean slap some sudocreme on and put bandage over top. healed by morning :) hope this helps!

[@blands87]

Craig- Did you watch the output TV series on Dancer? You should check it out.

[@bob.from.accounting]

Okay, the editing was excellent. Great vlog too.

[@nathanmcfall1022]

Craig Richey #1 Meg Squats #2 Big John #3 Top 3 subscriptions in my world much love ❤️

[@veersaar]

I have two cream recommendations for your hands: Climb On lotion bar and O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream. They are very different in consistency but both are great. I think you can get some on Amazon and at climbing gyms (should you have some near-by). Climbing gyms might also have other great lotions or creams you could try out.

[@zuharachavez105]

Tips from Megsquats for hands ripping it's been useful ( razor-one blade ) but still please share if you find something more useful.

[@HorrorCrypt12]

that editing! amazing! 1. Tia 2. Katrin 3. Sam 1. Fraser 2. Vellner 3. Fikowski

[@lespaulplease]

You need to get WodWelder handcare, perfect for Oly lifting from my experience, starting to get into Crossfit, but looks like a promising set of stuff for it too! Keep up the big effort

[@malinnilsson8603]

What is it for song in the edit?? :D Im from sweden and you guys have motivated me soooo much for crossfit!! You guys are going to crush it in the future, hugs and love!!!! Love the videos, keep it going!!!

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Malin Nilsson it's a song by NEFFEX not 100% sure of the son name! But he makes some epic songs✌🏻😊

[@johngildenhuis4839]

Hey team, go look at wod welder for your hands. It works like a bomb. Even if you don't have rips, you use it to make your hands durable.

[@balaknik93]

Any plans to visit Greece for summer?

[@KarmaIsABitsch]

What helps me with my hands is pumice under the shower when the callouses are kinda softened up and lots of hand cream to keep the skin moist. Hand creme also helps when you ripped -burns like hell though but speeds up the healing process.

[@fredericocarrelo6099]

Jamie called Tia's win!

[@kieranelson7754]

Generally for rowing I find that if blisters have opened up the best thing is Friars Balsam which will help heal them, but if you are looking for just short term fix up I just use methylated Spirits, it'll dry them out and stop them from hurting so you can get back to training on them -it does really burn at the time though. But in terms of looking after your calluses keep them sanded down and moisturised, will stop them from flaking off and ripping so easily. :)

[@kittyflynnn]

What does the kettlebells with bands on the bar do? Seen it a couple of times.. is it to do with improving stability?

[@johnnythegent27]

Great video as always. Jamie should be doing blockbuster movies. His channel is awesome as well.

[@ItssFootball]

Awesome editing!!!! My CF Games winners 2017 prediction: Fraser (who else?) & Sigmundsdottir (finally)

[@mcleonefontelo6438]

Sick editing! Best part about it is because it wasn't overdone

[@drew4324]

For hands soak them in epsome salt in the evening and then shave or file if necessary. My box owner never shaves he just soaks. I've started using some tape gymnast grips I made which have kept me from tearing in the first place. For healing you want it to air and dry when sleeping, during the day they found it heals faster when covered by the dying skin/flap. Can use Vaseline on the open ones to seal them.

[@paulsoa]

Buy Amopé Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File with Diamond Crystals. Works wonders!

[@benmartinez8995]

We don't get the pump 3.0s in the us any way we could set something up where I pay u and u get them shipped across the sea? 💪🏽

[@jinxxed9891]

Boots do a savlon advanced healing gel which is quite good. Stings but it helps with recovery

[@scottanthonymartin6743]

Editing game is STRONGGGG. Women: Tia, Sara, Briggs Men: Fraser, Gudmundson, Fikowski

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

Top 3 women this year : Courtney Dauwalter !!! and Mat Fraser, Koski haha. Top 3 men this year : David Goggins, Kilian Jornet Burgada, Bboy Kill, obliterating anyone in your list.

[@lornacoco]

Lush lemony flutter cuticle butter......its the way forward, hand shred was healed in 2 days!

[@grantmuirhead]

You guys need to get WodWelder for rips! They have a total care & repair system! It's DOPE!

[@nhssepp]

Top 3 Women this year Sara Sigmundsdottir (she will do it this year! for sure!!! :D ) Katrin Davidsdottir Tia Toomey Top 3 Men Matt Fraser Brent Fikowski Ben Smith greetings from berlin germany

[@flabtofitchick9817]

Sepp NHS agreed I think tia will be second though and katrin third. But those are definitely the top three

[@MC473428]

Katrin could fall outside the top 3. Surprisingly, I managed to grab her 8th (just on the girls side) in our Crossfit Games pool. Women's division is going to be so competitive this year.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

Top 1 women this year : Courtney Dauwalter obliterating anyone of your list. Top 3 Men this year : David Goggins, Kilian Jornet Burgada, Bboy Kill, obliterating anyone in your list.

[@MatiasStrengthCoach]

Amazing!!

[@wisballa1]

Hey, are you guys coming to the games man?!?!

[@devoragray3357]

Hey guys! I do pole fitness which is tons of grip. I had a problem with my calluses so the gang said soak them in Epson salt and warm water for 20 minutes and then use a pumice stone or an electric callus remover. The thicker the skin, the more tendency to tear. Hope that helps.

[@MrOpticBlade]

Marcus Filly isn't in the games? Is he?

[@TeamRICHEY]

+MrPotato nope! Don't think so😅

[@frodeberg6027]

He is doing his functional bodybuilding thing this year and re-rebuilding, an already pretty well built body for Games 2018!!! Gonna be epic!!

[@MrOpticBlade]

Frode Berg Yeah I knew that I follow his socials. I was just confused because the other dude mentioned him in the video.

[@robskinnermusic4280]

He dropped out due to his kid being born!

[@thewarneabool]

You guys were pretty much on point with your predictions! haha

[@MMAuseless]

Tips for hands is shave your calluses down to remove most of the dead skin (which is what a callus is). Your body is already making new skin underneath. So the dead skin is made to fall off and rip. Use a razor. Or a hand shaving kit you can find. Then use like a strong lotion or hand salve when you don't have to use your hands (most people do it when they sleep). Other than that I've heard freezing a tea bag after it's used and rubbing them on calluses work but can't confirm. Razor blade from a box knife and shaving the dead skin works for me.

[@adambeaton8852]

WOD welder cream and hand kit!

[@bellaohlsson2083]

Megsquats did a awsome video on hand care... and the only thing i'd like to add to that is E vitimin oil

[@Lankamania]

TeamRICHEY You guys need to make a We Don't Quit tee shirt just like how it is in your home gym! It looks sick!!!

[@datpham4056]

Are you doing fantasy crossfit?

[@alexjackson2282]

Does Jas still upload on her channel?

[@_simplejack]

check out ript skin system best hand care going around :)

[@anapartas229]

For rips~ As a former gymnast and now Crossfit athlete here's the deal. 1) You cannot avoid rips 2) When you get them, cut off all excess skin in vicinity of the rip to avoid further skin tears 3) Keep the area covered in Vaseline so the tissue stays soft...and, of course, clean the area thoroughly. If the rips are too painful to workout with, simply cover them with tape and get after it! To avoid ripping, keep callous buildup to a minimum by periodically trimming dead skin away from the area of the build-up.

[@nolancerecedes6885]

try using climbskin, works pretty well for healing your hands.

[@adgfernandez]

Subscriber here from the Philippines!

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Angela May Fernandez hell yeah!!🔥✌🏻

[@jskill_1]

Angela May Fernandez Ka musta

[@EmmaTrumble]

I can totally see Camille placing again, and also Noah ohlsen placing. They've both really gotten it this year.

[@pierrebrethes5320]

Like daddy's Richey would say : Nice ! Hi from france , hope to see you in Bordeaux one day :D

[@jorgeguevara5923]

I really want to see Annie on that podium!! Don't think it will happen but you never know!

[@jamiey8448]

Where do you buy the bcaa cans ?

[@kunlantan362]

WODies have served my hand well for a few months already! 🙌🏻

[@theunknownpodcast7893]

Mat Fraser and Sara sig

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Steven Gerrard I don't think Sigmundsdottir has the mindset!😅 She has the potential, but we will see! Hopefully her training with the Mayhem squad has helped her with this

[@Sam18elnino9]

+TeamRICHEY I think she improved a lot and has one of the most experienced crews with CF Mayham to lean on. She's way more powerful than Katrin so if they are 2 sprint like workouts towards the end she's going to win.

[@rollinsga]

I definitely agree...I'd love to see Sara make it but I don't think the mental stamina is there as well as Katrin has. Katrin just will not quit!

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

Courtney Dauwalter and David Goggins. Here i corrected it :-)

[@littleginge3263]

Sweet editing! 👌🏻☺️

[@michaelwelch3134]

Salt in the rips till you can't stand it anymore, then soak in warm water. Repeat. Rips tend to come less often after that for me atleast

[@Skiddins]

What's the app you use at 9:52 to time your own WOD's etc?

[@joe.vernon]

It's Pocket Wod...which has since become Trifecta.

[@jamiehughes8638]

Another awesome vlog guys hi from nz

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Jamie Hughes Hey to NZ 🌍✌🏻

[@markarnold1063]

Epic vlog. What song starts at 9:58?

[@lisajones5688]

Mark Arnold fight by neffex

[@hera2]

Hello from a fan from NYC! :)

[@JMcCann93]

whats the music for the edit?

[@mixanikos2]

For calluses eat better number 1 factor. Second buy crossfit straps from amazon - the ones with the two holes for the fingers.

[@SteveWilliamsXO]

Defo cheering on Sara Sig

[@mperte96]

This is Sigmundsdottir 's year for sure, has been training with the best ever and his crew and I think she is in beast mode this year though the first events arent good for her

[@heyfrancispr]

When my callouses are starting to become jagged, I use a nail file on them after showering, since the skin is a bit softer. Afterwards, I apply a strong hand repairing lotion to them (I get mine from Avon at 4€ and it lasts for a whole year). This takes about 3 minutes The file should be used carefully in order to maintain some compacted skin, preventing ripping instead of facilitating it. If necessary, I do this everyday, and I only rip my hands when I don't take care of my callouses for a few days in a row. I've also been using gloves recently, in workouts with lots of pull-ups or t2b. This takes getting used to but, combined with proper hand care, it really spares my hands, leaving them in a near-perfect state

[@boknowsyoutube]

Great stuff!!!

[@DrexPlays]

every year I'm more interested in the female individual over any of the division. The group is SO deep and competitive I love it. I feel with the males theres a huge gap and I get don't even watch any of the male events

[@shaunsm01]

great background music...

[@mikafreka]

I will find you at the games!

[@vikkimcaneney3777]

1-Fraser, 2-Vellner, 3.... not sure!! 1-Toomey, 2- Katrin & 3-Camille/Sara

[@tinacates3196]

There is a thing called a sandbar that helps file down palms and calluses

[@charlottedeans3320]

I want Sam Briggs to do well because this will probably be her last time competing as an individual

[@Salla111222]

I think she will be competing in the masters if she doesn't continue to qualify for the regular individual competition. But I also hope she will do great! :D

[@josealbarran5409]

She said that like last 2 years right? The Engine will continue giving us some impressive performances like always

[@valeriebiesack5676]

Shes defintely gonna give a good run for the podium. i dont think she'll be able to top Tia or Katrin, but maybe Sara if she struggles mentally which she has a bit at the end of competition the last two years.

[@chillibreaker9271]

definitely

[@MillennialInMedicine]

Dealing with callus: after a shower take a pumice stone or sand paper and rub it on your hands to remove some of the old dead skin. A calls rips because of the build up of dead skin and the layer of dead skin disconnecting from the membrane of the live skin.

[@chillibreaker9271]

tia clair toomy lives in my town and trains at my box in australia

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Chillibreaker think she's gonna win it?! This year

[@LAXSINGER1]

Also I totally think you can make it to regionals! keep putting in the work! #WEDONTQUIT

[@kimberlym8902]

Top 3 Males Mat Fraser Josh Bridges

[@stevencolvin5614]

Fraser, Fikowski, Velner Toomey, Sara, Katrin So difficult to call though. Apart from Fraser, I can see quite a few athletes vying for the podium spots.

[@TheYazflip]

what's jas' favourite cereal?

[@domivoe]

Btw is there any video where Jas hasn't a cereal box in her hands? 😂

[@nish82x]

My callus care routine (I swear by this!!): 1) take a razor and shave them in the shower 2) scrub them with a pumice stone 3) use a hand cream (I use WOD Welder!)

[@M.E.Z99]

Really hope sara is going to win this one!

[@frederiquebrulotte9956]

No one's talking about Carol-Ann Reason Thibault !!!! I mean, she beat Katrin during regional she have a solid chance to podium this year

[@GSLightingSolutions]

My top three are men: Matt Fraser, Brent Fikowski, Alec Smith (throwing a rookie in there). Women: Katrin davidsdottir, Tia-Clair Toomey, Sara Sigmundsdottir.

[@joaomenezes8058]

Sara is going to crush the Games!!!! She's training with the champ, rich!!!

[@tylergullage9130]

Who's guitar is that?

[@TeamRICHEY]

+Tyler Gullage the blue one? Mine 😊

[@tylergullage9130]

Noice! You should play it sometime on a video.

[@justinaltman6065]

I agree with Fraser, I don't think he'll be beaten. I also would really love to see Bridges win - he's the best. I think Sara will be a force this year. Katrin has a similar dominating feel that Fraser has, but Sara's a monster
