Before you ask no… I am not buying 154kg sandbags, Husafell bags nor sandbag jerry cans to sit and gather dust in the corner once we all realise that we are in fact not games athletes and literally can’t move the fuckers!
I remembered back to 2015 (I think) when judging there and having to help out the equipment team by moving a 93kg kettlebell back to the starting mat, the other side of the tennis stadium, once the heat was finished. There were two of them to move back, and we had a trolley to put them on. The athletes had moved BOTH of the heavy bastards across the floor, annoyingly having to stop every do often to knock out a couple of deadlift reps.

I might program some double under cross overs for shits and gigs though!

If when reading this you have literally no idea what I am on about… google the CrossFit Games.

It’s taken me this long to figure out the cryptic way in which Nicole has written next weeks workouts sorry. She has her own special way of communicating! It makes her different and therefore endearing!

Some further little know facts are that Nicole physically cannot do anything following any intake of fat and, she would potentially die if she went longer than 24hrs without eating eggy bread!
