Facing Every CrossFit Test That Beat Me in July

Twelve weeks of base building are done, so it's Test Week #2 of The Games Project: the same 17 tests I did in July. Back then, every lift came in under my old best, and I hadn't had a real win in over a year. Going into this week, I was honestly a bit afraid of the bar. You'll see all five days: the snatch, the Powerhouse I was dreading, two days with Mariah from WOD-Motions and the WOD-Science Functional Test. Before the week, Klaus and I each wrote down a guess for every test. It's a long one, more documentary than highlight reel: heavy attempts in full, misses included, and a sit-down with Klaus at the end. After this, the next block starts. If your head has ever said no to a lift your body was ready for, this will feel familiar. Before you watch: who knows my body better, me or Klaus? Let me know in the comments. Hope you enjoy this one. And thank you so much for watching! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:19 The bet 2:39 Day 1 - Power 4:49 Day 1 - Snatch 12:30 Day 1 - Clean & jerk 16:21 Day 1 - Thruster 19:33 Day 2 - Skill & Conditioning 21:53 Day 2 - Broad jump 25:06 Day 2 - Handstand walk 28:20 Day 2 - Handstand push-ups 32:34 Day 2 - Powerhouse 36:38 Day 2 - Recap 38:06 Day 3 - All about the legs 40:38 Day 3 - Back squat 45:51 Day 3 - 30 s squat test 48:39 Day 3 - Repeated sprints 53:54 Day 4 - Strength 55:43 Day 4 - Deadlift 59:10 Day 4 - Strict press 1:03:45 Day 5 - Skill & Conditioning 1:05:02 Day 5 - Strict pull-ups 1:08:03 Day 5 - Chest-to-bar 1:10:20 Day 5 - Bar muscle-ups 1:12:42 Day 5 - WOD-Science 1:18:16 The verdict 1:18:43 Closing thoughts 1:20:59 What's next -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUSIC (Epidemic Sound) Impact Point - Hampus Naeselius War Within (Instrumental Version) - Katori Walker Soul Searching (Karriem Riggins Rework) (Instrumental Version) - Katori Walker Morning Coffee - Mizlo Greed - Reversus OUR WXRLD - ROONIN System Error - Cospe Kickflip - Dyalla BLOODSHOT - STRLGHT HAMMER - MXRPHEUS Disposition - Sightless in Shadow Ascension - Humblebee Defragmentation - Awlee spot - Cushy Hold Up - Fasion American Mastiff (Instrumental Version) - Katori Walker BALLIN - ROONIN RESILIÊNCIA - ROONIN CROSH - Azucares Maniac - Killrude Eagle - Raccy Silverware (Instrumental Version) - Katnip GET IT DONE - ROONIN Growls - Cecilia Lindh Toasted - Dylan Sitts Trana - bomull BACK2BACK (Sped Up Version) - STRLGHT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Mariah from WOD-Motions for testing with me: https://wodmotions.com/ Test Week 1 (July):    • Well…That was Humbling   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT UP: the next block - how we restructure the training.
