ICYMI: What's Rich Doing, What's Noah Doing, And Alec Smith Is A Wizard
There's so much going on in the world of competitive fitness and exercise that it's hard to catch all the cool stuff. Lucky for you, I've got nothing better to do. Here's some of the coolest stuff you missed recently.


So Rich is finally pulling the trigger. Everyone's been so curious what his workouts look like and now, for $50 and if you're lucky enough to be one of the first 250 people to sign up (Really? I have a hard time believing that cap will last very long), you can essentially get his workout log and follow along.

Granted it's going to be a few weeks back because it likely takes several hours to transcribe all the workouts he does each day, but you'll get to read his workouts and think "holy shit, yea, no way I'm doing that, I'm good".

In case you're wondering exactly what types of workouts you'll be paying for and not doing, here's an example:

 

Here's a little preview of an afternoon on "What's Rich Doing?"

Noah Ohslen is pretty fit and maybe instead of asking "What's Rich Doing?" we should be looking at what he's got going on. His team for the Team Series wasn't able to complete the second week of the competition so Noah decided to do all the workouts himself instead of missing out on all the fun.

And afterwards, when normal humans would be committing to one of the three "R"'s of post competitive exercise (that'd be "Rest", "Recovery", or "Regret"), Noah went full Redonkulous:


Because hitting a heavy snatch after all that exercise actually might be the best way to train for competitive CrossFit. Seriously. I'm not even kidding right now, he's actually doing the best thing right there.

You know whose team did finish week 2 of the Team Series (I have to fight the urge of falling asleep everytime I type that phrase)? Alec "The Boy Wizard" Smith.

Apparently one of the events was a bunch of named workouts back to back and Alec Smith was lucky enough to get Diane, during which he used his magical powers and embarrassed anyone who's ever tried to do that workout. Let me break this down for you. A 1:36 Diane is 96 total seconds of work for a workout that has 90 reps and 5 transitions. I guess what I'm saying is I expected it to be faster. Inch that bar a foot or two closer to the wall and you could shave a second off your transitions. Then you wouldn't be so obviously slow. Jeez.
