Chase and Bill sit down and recap their personal experiences with CrossFit Games Open Workout 24.1

The 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth, Emma Lawson, joins the show to talk about her expectations for 2024, graduating from high school, the dynamic between her and Jack Farlow, where she gets her confidence and how she stays so level-headed.

The Open finished up in March, and the top percent of athletes from the Open advanced to the next stage, which is Quarterfinals. Quarterfinals just finished up in April, so now that those components of the season are over, how did it go? How did new CrossFit Open programmer Adrian Bozman do? How did we as a gym do now that we've had a little space to react?

Goldfinch Athletics Co-Owners Shawn Nuetzman and Jeff Woody give their takes on how both of those phases went and what we can expect with more competition going forward.

It's what we do. We predict, we analyze and then we offer constructive feedback to how the Test could be re-vamped to be a better overall test for the field taking it. Bill and Chase sit down and Re-Program the Tests for the 2023 CrossFit Games Open and individual Quarterfinals.

The CrossFit Open is a worldwide competition where everyone on planet earth who does CrossFit does the same workout on the same day to the same standards. 

Sound intimidating? Well, what if I told you that your local gym gets together? To make it smaller, you and your closest friends get to do that thing together. 

So for some people, it's a silly thing that isn't worth doing. For others, it's too scary. For yet others, it's the best time of the year. 

On this episode, we go in-depth on what the Open is, why you should (or shouldn't) do it.
