We could not be more excited to introduce today's guest.
Chris Spealler is a 7 time CrossFit Games Athlete who has brought
more to the sport of fitness than most people realize.
He resides in Park City Utah with his family and spends of the
day running his affiliate, CrossFit Park City. He is also on
the Level One Staff and travels the world teaching people about
CrossFit, Coaching and moving better. His new venture is Icon
Athlete. A website dedicated to helping competitive athletes
get better at CrossFit.
We start by talking about the 2016 CrossFit Open and ask him
about his decision to go or not go to Regionals. From there
we talk about how is training has changed and the toll that
competing at the games took on him. His new style of training
involves less time, but it is not producing less results. He
just PR'd his back squat at 400 lbs weight in just above
135lbs. What an amazing feat of strength.
Watching an amazing athlete dedicate him self to becoming
amazing coach is great to see. His sole focus when it comes
to work is his affilaite and Icon athlete. If you are
thinking of following a competition program you have to check it
out.
As we wrap up we talk about the old days. Before Rogue
Fitness and Reebok. You had to build your own rig and get to
California if you want to go to a Level One Seminar. So much
has changed and it is because of leaders and early adopters like
Chris. Enjoy hearing his story and learning from a
legend.
