Garage Gym Games Recap
IMPORTANT, MUST BE READ... January 21st marked a day that 11 athletes, spectators, and judges gathered to compete againest each other, have fun, and watch those in the center of the arena pushing themselves to the limits. Judges and athletes arrived between 7:00-7:30. Judges were instructed on the standards to up hold and athletes were given clear demonstrations on what was expected of them. At 8:05 the first heat kicked off.Max weight ground to overhead in 15 min
Jessica L set a personal record of 80lbs and another personal record of cleaning 85lbs, at a bwt of 115lb.
Jen J lit up the environment with a 115lb ground to overhead lift.
Russ S set a PR of 185. Russ failed at this weight with 5 min to go. He backed off, focused, and nailed it.
Brendan C set a PR of 145lb. Brendan failed 145lb 2x. He wasnt using his hips correctly, with some proper coaching he put it overhead like it was 95lbs.
Justin B crushed a pr at 175lb overhead. Justin is new to the GG within the last few months with limited experience in olympic lifting. Strong work.
Randy I- nailed 165lb overhead. Randy is also new at GG, limited OLY experience. A few more hours training under the bar and he will have 40+ more overhead.
Anthony B- He thought he set a PR at 165lb overhead but realized he was using a 15lb bar not 45lb bar. Haha with all jokes aside, Anthony did smash 165lb overhead, amazing effort.
We almost ran out of weight here at GG with the final heat.
This heat was moving up in weight lb by lb and all 4 athletes found themselves within 15lbs of each other.
Ben Q put 205 overhead easily. He decided to jump to 225 and attempted it 2x but couldnt get the clean.
Alex and John had a battle. John nailed 225, Alex nailed 225. John attempted 235 and failed and Alex attempted 235 and failed. John attempted 230 and caught the clean but couldnt stand up from it, very close lift. Alex nailed 230. Attempted 235 but failed.
Rich M put 225 over his head like is was 95lb. Slammed 245 overhead with the same ease. He waited patiently to attempt 255 if needed. There was no need. Rich won at 245lb.

Jen and Jess both had great throws and jumps. Jess participated in these events in California in October and set monster PR's yesterday. Jen jumped farther than her husband at a great 19.7! Jess jumped 17.6 over 2 feet farther than she jumped in October.
I misplaced the distances so those will not be posted.
Event 3:
This event required everything the athletes had.
Row 250m
15 burpees
25 Kettlebell swings 52.5#/35#
15 burpees
Row 250m
This event was insane to watch. The energy was extremely high. Russ finished heat 1 with a monster performance setting the bar high for everyone else. Russ finished the event and rolled off the rower seat with feet still in the straps, lactate consuming his whole body. Russ' time to beat was 4:39.53
The following heat was chasing that time.
Justin finished at 4:39.62. Thats right, .09 difference. Every second counts right?
Randy was right on his tail finishing at 4:45.
The final heat had to beat 4:39.53
All three athletes jumped off the rower within 1 sec of each other
Alex, John and Ben smashed the burpees and went unbroken on the swings and unbroken on the 2nd set of burpees. John made it to the rower first, ben 2nd, alex third.
John finished first with the best time at 3:45
Ben Second fastest at 4:05
Alex third at 4:13
Jen and Jess had exciting performances to watch. They were neck and neck throughout the entire workout. Jen edged out Jess by 8 seconds!
I spoke with John and Alex after the event and they both said how badly they wanted to drop the kettlebell but they were watching each other and no one was dropping it so they held on. Competition breeds great performances.
Rich M finished up the heats by himself as he broke a rower seat on the first pull of his heat. He finished at 5:12

Event 4
As many reps as possible in 20 min
Row 300m
6 pullups
9 Hand release pushups
10 thrusters 65#
This event was loud, and grueling.
Highlights:
Jess completed 28 pullups within the 20 minutes, finishing 4 + rounds.
Jen completed 6 plus 84 meteres. Scaling her pullups to jumping pullups proved to be extremely challenging as I heard her say " jumping is so hard, my legs have nothing".
Rich had a bum knee from an old Fball injury. Thrusters werent going to happen with this event. He decided to scale to a push press. Rich is a warrior, he could have easily quit but he said, "im here to compete".
Brendan and Anthony never stopped moving. With as long as this event is, you have plenty of time to throw the towel in. No one quit!
With just a few months of training, Justin and Randy more than held their own. Chipping away the entire time. Warriors.
Ben and Russ finished within 43m of each other, thats a difference of about 10 seconds!
Alex and John put on quite the show for everyone watching their heat. John carried the lead for the first 12 min. They were both within 3 reps of each other for the next 3 min and then Alex started to creep in the lead. Alex pulled out the win, by just a few reps securing the win for him. Alex has only been with Garage Gym for 6 weeks and his future is bright.
The inside of Garage Gym was hot! Condensation on the floor, athletes exhausted. When the door opened steam rolled into the hot box.
The event was a complete success. The thanks go to the volunteers/judges. Roger, Jen, Marc and my wife Alicia. They spent their entire saturday helping me run this event smoothly, without them this is impossible. Thank you!
