This week is a pretty big week in the USA. Most of us celebrated America’s 240th birthday with parades, food, and fireworks. Some people, specifically the athletes training for the CrossFit Games “celebrated” with pushups, runs, and WODs. That’s because we’re coming down the home stretch and these folks can’t leave any stone unturned. Why can’t they take just one day off? Because for Games athletes, it was another day to train.

Don’t believe me? Check out some of the best posts from the past week on Instagram for yourself. Male, female, teams, they were all clanging and banging this week! You’re going to notice that a few of these posts are creative with music added in. So you can rock out while getting amped up.
