Wish we could've seen Froning vs Fraser now. Fraser is destroying a much tougher field than Froning ever went against. He would beat Froning by quite a bit.


I think that's kind of unfair to compare. Every year the weights get heavier and heavier, and the field gets stronger and stronger, even the veterans.

If Froning was training in his prime now whose to say he wouldn't be at that level? He trained for what was needed at the time.

The team CrossFit chicks are much more aesthetically appealing than the solo girls. Don't need all that muscle mass. That being said, these team events are not fun to watch at all.


I enjoy the team ones.

And I'd amend that the top 15 solo girls are less aesthetically appealing than team girls. There are some fine ladies in the bottom 20. The more muscular gravitate to the top.

Most get too boxy because they loose all body fat. There are a few cute ones but the everyday girls in regular gyms are better proportioned

Some shite be brewing with the women's.

Toomey placed outside of the top 10 and Webb mistakenly did 3 reps too little. That would change the leaderboard entirely.

Dayum, big controversy on the floor if Webb completed all her reps..

On another note if I have to hear that lady announcer say that Dave Castro had to apologize to their legs one more time...

Yeah that's driving me nuts. Castro has 0 personality or MC skills.

Just did grace for this first time and got 2:50


No clue if that's good. Think I can get sub 2:30 with a solid warmup

I was rooting for Toomey. She seems like a cool girl. 3 years in a row at 2nd would've been unnerving.
