Last Chance

Here are more details about the Last Chance Qualifier:

At 0600 PDT on May 30th, three workouts will be announced on the CrossFit Games site. If you are interested in qualifying, you will have 24 hours exactly to complete all three workouts and report your times.

In addition to the workouts themselves, there will be movement standards established and specific guidelines for filming. Plan on having at least two people assisting you. We will require one person with a stopwatch in the frame besides you. It would probably be wise to have them enforcing proper movement standards also, as that will be an integral part of qualifying.

You will have until 0600 PDT on May 31st to upload your unedited video to YouTube and send us the link with your time. We are expecting a large number of candidates, so there will be little to no tolerance for missing deadlines or technical difficulties. Please make all necessary arrangements ahead of time.

You will need a predictable amount of standard CrossFit gear (meaning it will not be inconsistent with the gear required for many of the regionals). No GHD will be required.

Video, Learning the Gymnastics Kip

Gymnastics coach Jeff Tucker and assistant Jason Malutich take us through the importance of goal setting and progression in gymnastic movement.They begin by emphasizing the importance of body position.

Gymnasts use hollow body positions and constantly contract to achieve midline stability. Tucker and Jason then move on to the kipping pull up and scaling muscle up transitions.

Tucker said, “We’re going to teach you a kipping swing that is a gymnastic style. It will create a load. You are going to have to control that load because you are going to swing your ass off.”
