Just registered for my first open as an home gym beginner. Quite excited about it. I hope I have all the equipment needed

Yeeeeyyy "events" are back!😊🎉

[@scottcapdepon5863]

does anyone know if the video rules changes for submitting them after reginals, they were by request in rule book for age group

[@jrgills]

My takeaways: 1. No tape= possibly no wall walks, hspu, lunges, or shuttles 2. Skills you can’t do= Maybe a move away from the progression type workouts this year (i.e. starting with muscle ups)

[@BestMarine1775]

Great interview!

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Thanks for watching!

[@basay1388]

As a garage gym athlete, glad to hear floor plans are generally eliminated. Those were really hard (if not impossible) to follow in the space I have.

[@lalampen]

lowes/home depot will have a ton of tape in stock... 🤣

[@SeanDemers]

Wanted a shirt, but the extra $20.00 shipping is BS so passed on ordering the shirt. Basically would end up being a $65.00 shirt with exchange. Nope.

[@grahambatey2242]

Wait, was he saying there is going to be back flips in the open??? 😂😂😂

[@orinika]

my exact thought - forget muscle ups, let the backflip training start NOW 😂

[@bryancervantes7330]

This should be interesting

[@RobMackay-nb4yn]

Will masters and teens have a quarterfinal?? If yes, why if there’s no games?? Just for fun??

[@crossfitpodcasts]

Thanks for tuning in! The Legends Championship and the Pit Teen Throwdown will be hosting the Masters and Teens finals, respectively, and athletes will need to qualify through Quarterfinals and Semifinals to compete in the finals.

There is only one Boz……and his first name is Brian!!!😂😂😂jkjkjk

[@mattday9201]

dope

[@CapableConnie]

Please no more shuttle runs. Hard to do in a small space.

[@vanillaghetto]

Funny how they conveniently leave the entrance fees to compete in the Quarter and Semi out of their conversation and off of the Game website! Like it's the same as a 5-week Open for $20. Like they're making these changes for the benefit of the athletes, and not for the corporate bottom line. 🙄

Hanging on a pull-up bar and a safe distance from an apparatus, a barbell….hmmmm…FRAN IS COMING, be afraid, very afraid.

[@fainakleitman6856]

Oh boy you are so loud and annoing... if it wasn't for Bozman I would cut it off from the start..
