CrossFit Games Analysis

Loki is ready for the Open

Hello Competitors….  Here is a site that you may find useful or insightful (http://cfganalysis.blogspot.no/.  There is a lot of statistical data of what exercises have been used in the last couple years Open, Regionals and Games to try and predict what the 2013 season may look like.

Here is an excerpt from the post: “What to Expect From the 2013 Open and Beyond”

Now, seeing as don’t have a direct line to Dave Castro and Tony Budding, I don’t know what they’re thinking for next year. But we do have two years and 6 competitions of data that can help inform us about what they’re likely to throw at us in a few months. Let’s start by looking at the last two years from the simplest, and possibly the most useful, angle: what movements have we seen the past two years, and how often have we seen them. The following chart shows every movement tested in the past two years along with the weight given to each movement. As I’ve done before, for each workout, I break it down into the movements involved and give each “station” equal weight. For example, on Open WOD 3 last year, box jumps, toes-to-bar and jerk each received a weight of 0.33. On Open WOD 1, burpees received a weight of 1.00 since it was the only movement.

This chart is a great starting point for understanding what HQ is testing when they’re testing for the fittest on Earth.
