Thanks for the programming CJ! What a ride! I finished 28th last year in the Open and 61st this year (41 in the MQ). I’m in better shape this year but there are a bunch of superhumans in my bracket now (see Jarrod Newman below). Might have to wait till I turn 50 or quit my job. 🙂
Fun to see some familiar names climb that leaderboard. Brent, Chris, Keith I will be keeping an eye out this summer. Good luck. Disappointing and fulfilling to finish 126th in my first year of crossfit. It would be naive to think I would have qualified anyway but it has been a real eye opener as to what it takes. I’ve been amazed to see what the body can do. I never tried a muscle up until the weekend of 14.4, so to finish “Amanda” was a little victory for me. (until I saw the times turned in…. Damn.) and HSPUs…… Read more »
That’s a fantastic finish in your first year Scott! Give yourself a week to mentally and physically recover and I will hope to see your name on our Competition blog and track your progress over the course of the next year!
Thanks so much for everything C.J. Martin. I didn’t make it to the Games this year…(took 24th) but in this process thanks you and your staff’s help I…. PR’d my clean by 35 lbs @ 280 thanks to all the tips from the Marysville Invictus Camp. PR’d my unbroken muscle-up in Amanda by remembering your words to “take a risk”, sometimes. Felt strong in my snatches during Amanda again because of all the queues learned at the Marysville Camp and also the Masters Strategy write-up you provided. I did my 100 pullups in great time for me (4:03) by going… Read more »
Jarrod, to finish 24th as new as you are to the sport is remarkable! Congratulations on some amazing accomplishments!
I am so glad you were able to apply some of the lessons we discussed at Camp. Sharing those coaching cues and concepts is the easy part…applying it in the middle of a grueling workout takes determination and mental toughness! Fantastic work buddy!
Thanks CJ, this means a lot coming from you!
Thank you Jarrod for everything you commented on 🙂 CJ and his staff were incredible ! Camp highlights were in my head even when I thought I couldn’t go on ! Way to represent Yakima Jarrod! We are all so impressed and proud of your finish… You gave the fight that CJ prepared us for ! Next year .. Look out .. We will both be there with Invictus leading the way ! I
Open finish: 157th
MQ finish: 89th 🙂
Need that MU so I don’t have a DNF on my scores next year. Great time. Thank you for the programming!
Great job Julie!!! That muscle-up is coming!
Good job everyone! What a year!
Congrats… Love it.
Solid work buddy! Well deserved return trip to Games!
Final MQ results:
235
4:46
10:59
11:15 (4:15 PU, 7:00 wall balls)
7th place (50-54) I guess pending video validation I ‘ll be Games bound. Still hard to believe. Thanks so much Invictus. Would not have happened without you. Will there be continuing Programing for Masters Games qualifiers ?
Fantastic work Al!
Yes, we are exploring the idea of providing additional programming. Expect an email before the end of the week.
Thanks so much CJ. You guys have just been great. I’m keeping my fingers crossed until video validation is completed, but if I do make to the Games i”ll be so proud to to say that I follow Invictus Programing. With your Programing I know that I’m training with the best and I never second guess my preparation. I have been getting asked about my training a lot here at home lately. I tell people that Invictus is not only creating better athletes, they are changing peoples lives. I hope we get the chance to meet in Carson. Let me… Read more »
