The lack of barbell is absurd

If we don’t get a clean ladder Castro has really lost the plot

Such a shite event to have cuts with 2 athletes (Vellner & Wells) getting unknown penalties and getting bumped.

I don’t know why they event cut down from 20. There is nothing wrong with 2 heats (at most) the rest of the way.

So... If Fraser loses, does this cement Froning > Fraser?

5 rounds for time of:
1 pegboard ascent
100 double-unders
10 single-arm dumbbell hang split snatches
10 single-arm dumbbell hang clean and split jerks

20 min cap


Second event will be a clean ladder

Didn’t Ben Smith win once between the Froning dynasty or was that the year after he hung it up

Ben Smith won in 2015, right after Froning’s 4 in a row. It’s was the event where Fraser struggled doing parallette HSPUs.

Fraser has won the last 3.

That was the most surprising. I’m still excited that my girl Haley is still competing.

Total domination from Fraser

You knew it was over in round 2 when he passed Noah on the peg board

And Noah rushes on the double unders and messed up

But Noah went straight beast mode at the end to take back second place

I’m hoping Ohlsen keeps pace with Fraser the rest of the way.

This clean ladder coming up isn’t Noah’s strong suit. He’s needs a 4th place showing or better in it.

I mean he’s no Fraser but he’s strong as a fricking ox. He should do well.

Barnhart is a beast. That sweet girl next door face does not look like a woman that should be cleaning 250 with ease.

I love the way this year is setup. You have to be on your game the whole time. Mistakes can’t be made.

380 is impressive but it’s fricking stupid when you’ve done 350, 355, 360, etc. These dudes are stupid.
