What are the Games Athletes Up To? (California Regional)

Now there are just 37 days until the start of the CrossFit Games. Yesterday, we took a look at what the athletes from the Atlantic Regional were up to. Today, we’re going to see what those California athletes are doing in preparation for Madison.

Check back in tomorrow as we take on the Central Regional.

It felt quite good to get my hands on a barbell this week, despite the loads feeling 10 times heavier than normal 😂😫👊🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 @xlizbrown

We continue to increase the difficulty of movements for my Grandma as she is ready. Any time we do something new or different we keep the reps very low so that we can see how her body responds afterwards. The bar assisted squats were new for her so we did 2 sets of 2. If she lets me know that she felt good after these we will bump it up to 2 sets of 3 and go from there! Slow and steady progress is the name of the game for us! Love getting to work with my Grandma! She’s the best!! #crossfit #crossfitdavis #fitat96 #fitterat97 #grandmabetty #nevertoolate #functionalfitness #useitorloseit #crossfit @crossfit

Ok I’ve been a bit incommunicado the last week. That’s because I have actually been in China for work. It was a trip I already had planned and needed to go no matter what. It’s not the best timing with the #crossfitgames coming up but I have to sometimes travel for work. My job allows me a flexible schedule most of the year which permits more time to train. Luckily there is a growing community in China now for #crossfit and I was able to visit Attitude CrossFit in Shenzhen. It’s run and coached by some great people that welcomed me with open arms and despite the fact I was literally melting (90F with 85% humidity) they were still nice enough to take a picture with me! I can’t tag them all but thank you all very much once again. Traveling this far can be difficult but being able to drop in and visit some new friends is amazing. #crossfitchina #seeyouinmadison @crossfitdavis #hobbitsquats #hobbitabroad ——– I’d tag the gym but most businesses in China run on WeChat. This is their ID: AttitudeCF

#DareMightyThings . @scottswish and @provinggroundscomps have been in my corner since I moved down to San Diego, so I was pumped when he asked me to represent them on the floor at regionals! Thanks for the unending support guys! . #InvictusAthlete #PGC #OldGregg

Julian Alcaraz

Yes, we’re aware Alacaraz is not going to the Games. But he did technically qualify and could have been going, so we wanted to see what he was up to as well.
