Keep y’all’s eye on Bethany Branham (she might go by her maiden name again now) in the Women’s division but she’s an absolute animal. I worked out with her in Texas for about 9 months and she was doing workouts with the Men’s RX weight. I think she placed pretty highly last year.

ETA: Bethany Shadburne

Anything not related to gymnastics shite and I'll be alright I can do HSPU or muscle ups to save my life. I'll be fine banging out some some low weight/higher rep movements though. And I'll take all the deadlifts they can throw my way.

First time in the Open and I'm mildly happy. Work has screwed up my training bigly over the last 3 months. Anyone going to the Fortitude Fit Fest in April?

Don’t they tailor the movements to the athletes they are showcasing? What’s Sam Briggs known for?

Do you guys know if the announcement is usually right at 7, or do they wait and make you sit through programming and stuff? I'd like to stay after my WOD and watch but I also am gonna be starving post-WOD at 7PM and don't want to sit around for an hour.

They don’t frick around. Usually if you’re a few minutes late you miss some of the workout.

I think it will be a dumbell variation. Thursters as mentioned, maybe deadlifts. Im about to take the judges course, ill see if there are any new DB movements, but i doubt it

Don’t be fooled by Castro saying new...

The burpee standard is considered new.
