Thanks Shane!

Thank you Avera! I finished in 16th last year, but the cut was 10 then. In theory, I still have a chance this season, not likely, but it is possible. CF HQ is now in the video review/penalty part of the process. It is “possible” that some ahead of me could be penalized. If I don’t get penalized, I could move up. Also, when invitations are sent, some could decline, if they do, their spots will be backfilled until 40 accept. “So you’re saying there’s a chance.” is what I’m going with!

@@jgleich21 great attitude, but any way you slice it, you are a winner in my books

Yes sir, it seemed off to me, so I gave him a look, he checked and realized the potential error. Glad we caught it!

That's the question I wish I knew the answer to! Yes, it is possible...I could move up. I don't know how probable it is. BUT, I did everything I could and however it plays it is how it is supposed to. Threw all my chips in! Appreciate your support!

@@jgleich21 shoot. im invested in this now man. good job on leaving it all out there. i hope its this year. but i think you will make it regardless if you keep it up

Thank you, thank you! I'm hoping so as well, fingers crossed!

Thanks Benjamin! I'm not setting the standard, but I am doing my best to be up there with the big folks! Gave all I could this weekend, no regrets!

@@jgleich21 I always appreciate the quality of your reps in your workout videos. Never a question of the completion of your reps, and I like it when athletes are honest about their own no reps. We know when we didn't quite get that full lockout, etc. Integrity!!!

This means a TON to me man...this is my goal. I try so hard to be to the standard or better. It definitely slows me down at times, but it is really important to me. That said, I definitely make mistakes, but I try to do everything in my power to have really, really clean reps! Thank you sir!

Nothing official, just pins and needles as they work through the video review process and penalties. I'm sitting in 45th, they take 40 from my age group. It is still possible...just a wait and see game now!

Awesome and inspiring job! Mr. Gleich. Nothing but respect for you.

@@israelreibanlucero9801 Many thanks Israel!!

Thank you Shane!!

Thank you!

💯

Totally agree!! haha

Thanks so much John - you are a crazy fit dude...grateful to be able to train with you!

Thank you Ilich! Gave all I had!

Thank you Andrew! Yeah, I was 92nd after the 1st two and in 45th (all unofficial) now. Two weeks of video review & penalties and we'll see how it shakes out. Still a chance!

Thank you Kyle!

Thank you Keith! You are a beast...don't know how you did it!

Thank you Max!

Thank you Keith!

Yes sir…one was not my jam. But it’s the reality of my fitness, and I accept that. Hoping for high scores on the other 3 to sneak up the leaderboard. We’ll get a glimpse soon…it should go live in about 15 minutes!

Thank you Rob!

I appreciate the support Avera! I was hopeful I'd have a higher placement, but this 45-49 age group is really deep. Lots of super fit folks for sure! Most of them (at least that I know) do still work, but a few have been able to turn it into their primary task. I know for a fact we have ALOT of really good, really fit humans in our age group since I've gone head-to-head with many of them at live events. Those are the best experiences! I really struggle with the virtual competitions (as is obvious by the fact that I have yet to be able to qualify for a Games spot). I'm not counting myself out yet though...still got TWO more workouts and I'm giving all I've got on them!

Grateful the video can be helpful Dave- I appreciate the support!

You're super kind Sebastian, much appreciated! I definitely wanted to quit even before I started...but doing all I can to have #noregrets this year. Gonna have to pour everything into these last two and see where we fall.

Thank you sir! I was surprised how poorly I did on this one. I knew it would be bad, but I was thinking around 100th, not 152nd! Oh well...keep working, see what happens!

And yes, the clock definitely messed with me…super grateful we had a backup!!

Hahaha...maybe, ya never know. Always evolving! That was the weird/out of place October Open, crazy stuff!

Thank you Max!

Thank you Benjamin! So many super fit athletes…I’m gonna keep grinding this weekend and see where the chips fall. Fingers crossed!!

Good stuff Andrew! I was pushing the row the 1st round a bit more, but honestly, I had to save for the snatches. Heavy snatch is not my jam! Also, I like a super slow stroke rate, allows me to keep going for longer efforts. 19-21 seems to be my sweet spot. Thanks again for your support!

Thank you Andrew! I picked that little gem up in vendor village at the Games circa 2018. CrossFit had just partnered with Strauss Meats and they were giving them away. Def one of my favorites!

Thank you Pareanoa!

Sorry for any confusion…but it is 10 sets of 3 BS’s at 315. Set 2 was shown.

@@jgleich21 gotcha! Even better! Your board looked like your last set was 315.

@@avera9636 Totally understand...each of those were "days" so I did 6x6@255, then 7x5@255, then 8x4@295 and finally 10x3@315 - I typially do them every 2nd or 3rd day. Thanks for watching!

@@jgleich21 good luck in the semifinals. . . your goal is within reach

@@avera9636 Thank you, thank you!

That's fantastic Benjamin! It is such great experience to go through the process and learn, good on you for making all the effort! Now you have an awesome benchmark to shoot for next year - while competing is always fun, it's really all about you vs you! Appreciate all the support sir!

Thank you Blagomir, much appreciated!

@@jgleich21 My pleasure, John! Keep posting, please. You are such a fine example.

⁠@@blagomirminov5220thank you, thank you, Blagomir!

Thank you Chicho!

Thank you John, much appreciated!

Huge thank you Dmitrii! I appreciate it!

Thank you so much Pedro, that really means a lot to me! I feel I have a pretty good grasp on making a strategy and pacing...those are my strengths (a heavy barbell is NOT, haha). Thanks again man, much appreciated!

@@jgleich21 Thanks to you, for doing what you do (suffering live) and enjoying doing it, only those of us over 45 know how bad it is and how good we feel doing it!! keep going like this!!!!

@@pedrocarracelasmaillo1325 Thank you sir! I'm gonna keep going as long as possible!

Right!? That bar was heavy...really appreciate your continued support Ilich!!

Thank you again Sebastian, your support fuels me to keep pushing!

Dude, that’s awesome Andrew, congratulations!! And to answer your question, yes, it would have definitely been faster. I considered it, but chose singles to try to stay as fresh /calm as possible for the 225 round. That was gonna be my make or break for this one. It would be interesting to try it touch n go and see if it helps e at all…but I’d have needed another 30s+ to get another at 245. Congrats again!

@@jgleich21 That makes a ton of sense. Things I'm learning as a noob CF athlete is strategy and how to keep fresh.

@@chanman83 also, just saw one of the "big guys" re-did this one and did 10 touch n go with the 135...still took him about 31 seconds. So, IMO, it wouldn't be worth the effort for me...rather stay fresh! The saying I've heard several time from Boz lately is "the juice isn't worth the squeeze." Love that!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much Jason, I truly appreciate your support!! Unofficially getting excited for semi’s!

Thank you Elvir! 3 down, just #4 to do. Hitting it in about an hour…will have that video up later today!

Great, I will watch all of them💪

I’d love to hear and incorporate any advice or recommendations…the only row technique I’ve learned is through CrossFit and some RUclips videos I’ve watched. I totally agree it could be better!

@@jgleich21 Ok cool . I'll send what is useful for me. I'll try to be clear bc English is my third language and not my mother language and I speak other 2..lol. The most important is : DON'T BEND KNEES EARLIER . Knees must be the third part to move, that's exactly the first mistake of 95%. 1 ARMS 2 BACK 3 KNEES...then ! will add more..explaining you why. The reasons why.

Great work Benjamin! You were super consistent, which is awesome, just a tad below your goal. Now ya know and can work towards “better” for you!

@@jgleich21 Like Happy Gilmore only 364 more days till next year's tryouts! Game on!

@@bentitan7usuch a great movie … and so true!
