Lyt til The Barbell Spin

The Fittest on Earth will be crowned in less than three weeks.Augie Christian [https://www.instagram.com/healthydadfit/]and I sat down this weekend to give our predictions for the 2019 CrossFit Games. Similar to the Reebok Pick ‘Em Challenge [https://crossfitpickem.sportstechapp.com/2018] last year, we each list out our top 3 teams and top 10 men and women in order. It’s too bad Reebok is not giving away $1 million this year, because it would be going to one of us. Well, Augie is technically disqualified since he thought Ben Smith was competing at this year’s Games. We can always hope Smith gets the last wild card.
