Guess who's back - Fittest Pastor in all of continental Europe, Dave McNee. Sharing perspectives with 'topophobe' host, Sammy Davies, on the recent CrossFit Games Quarterfinals 2024

We talk about expectations going in, workout strategies, coming unstuck, and whether or not CrossFit is being dumbed down for the masses.

Dave mentions the progress he's been making with his training which he gets from Olympus Programming (@olympusprogramminguk on instagram)

Sammy wears a delightful Top (not yet popped) from the good, earth-loving people at SQWOD (@sqwoduk on instagram)

Pop on some headphones and have a listen ... and subscribe ... and share.

The Open is over - now we're in Quarterfinals season!

So what lies ahead? And what do the recent Team workouts suggest about what lays in store for the rest of us?

Keeping up to date with all the Crossfit Games competitive season

For the first time ever we have a guest joining us for the Tops Are Dumb Podcast - Dave McNee.

Dave is a pastor (vicar?!) from Southampton who finished 92% overall - his best-ever finish.

We talk about our attitudes to the Open in general, what we thought of the Open this year in particular and what we're looking forward to from the Quarter Finals.

We're days away from the 24.3 announcement and things are all changing! Except for the bits that aren't changing ... if that makes sense.

Here's what's happening.

Reviewing the Open workout 24.2 and anticipating what we might see in 24.3

(FYI my score was 590 - Male 40-44)

24.1 scores are locked in - so what do we make of it? And what does it mean for the remaining two weeks???

(FYI my time was 8:46 - Male 40-44)

It's Open 2024 week!

Time to nut up or shut up - my podium predictions before the season has even started.

Top 3 women // Top 3 men.

Tell me I'm wrong

The 2024 Games is going to be the most exciting in over a decade!

The Open is about a month away and with it the start of the 2024 Crossfit Games Season. We've had all the off season. We've had 'pre season' with Wodapoloza - so let's take a look at the men's field, the women's field. Who's in the mix and why we are in for a treat.

(plus 2 names who I think definitely WONT podium)

The biggest off-season comp has just wrapped - the 2024 Rogue Invitational. We had all the biggest names and loads of top moments.

But what were the highlights 🤔🤔🤔
