The CrossFit Games North Central Regionals start on Friday, May 31st.

Location: The Navy Pier, Chicago, IL

Tickets are only $15/day and are available here.

A lot of Regionals action for The CrossFit Games has already begun around the country and world and some remarkable feats are being achieved by elite CrossFitters. Check out all the updates and the leaderboard on the CrossFit Games website here.

We're taking on snatch today. Make those hips EXPLODE UPWARDS. Do not hesitate. Do not pass go. Jump that effing bar off the ground and KEEP. IT. CLOSE. If you smack yourself in the hips, boobs, or face, then congrats. You done good, Warrior. 

If you choose to do full snatches (i.e., catch the bar in a full, deep overhead squat), then remember once you're up tall, you're pulling yourself under the bar. Again, this is FAST. Like Jimmy John's delivery fast. UPDOWN. Do not hesitate. Do not pass go.

Be aggressive. B-E aggressive. B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E. ATTACK. How many ways can I tell you to go fast on this lift? As many times as it takes. Chase your weakness, Warriors. Today is your day.
