Open Strategy Series — What is it about?

If you are a professional CrossFit athlete, the Reebok CrossFit Games have the importance of the Olympics and the World Championship combined.

The “CrossFit Games” have been held every summer since 2007 and have the goal to find the “Fittest on Earth”. It’s not only about who can lift the heaviest weight or run the fastest. To become one of the best athletes you have to be strong in high-intensity workouts, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, strongman, and other exercises like swimming, sprinting or distance running.

Since 2011 there is a new online qualification process to get to the CrossFit Games. This is called The Open. During The Open one workout is released a week for 5 weeks, athletes have 4 days to complete the workout in their affiliate with a qualified judge.

Of the hundreds of thousands of athletes competing in The Open only a few hundred will make it to a 3 day competition called the Regionals. The Regionals are held at different locations around the world, from this stage of the competition 40 male and female athletes will make it to the final stage, The CrossFit Games.

John Singleton – founder of THE PROGRM – is an Osteopath and professional CrossFit trainer with athletes all over the world. With his online training program, he tries to support elite and non-elite athletes in becoming the best athletes they can be. In his latest video project, he asked Puresive Films to film the Open Strategy Series 17.1–5.

“Our main goal with the project is to help the athletes competing in The Open by showing them different ways to approach and optimise the workouts in The Open.”

With Lukas Esslinger, who is trained by John, he found the perfect way to explain to the athletes the best way to optimise the workout. “Lukas is one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world competing in the 2017. During the 2016 Lukas ranked 21st in the World. This year he aims for an even better place.”
