Strength In Depth 2019

                    

Strength In Depth – London 2019

CrossFit® Strength in Depth is an individual and team competition, which will be held in London over the 23-24 February 2019.

The winning male, female and team will be invited to the Reebok CrossFit® Games in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

Bulletproofbodies are proud to be part of the Athlete Services Team who will be looking after all Athletes keeping them injury free for the entire competition.

Many of this team are the same from Meridian Regionals, so they are in good hands.

The Final will take place from Saturday 23 February to Sunday 24 February 2019, hosted at the ExCeL London. Athlete registration will take place on Friday 22 February from midday – 17:00pm.

The 80 males, females and 70 Teams will be split into two categories – Elite and Rxd.

The programming and schedule will differ between the Elite and Rxd competition. This allows more competitors to take part at the final.

Ok so this new format is and has been a little confusing. Here’s a short version of what could happen once the winner of CrossFit® SiD 2019 has been crowned.

The winner of SiD 2019 takes home the title and secures an invitation to The CrossFit® Games 2019.

If they then go on to be crowned the Fittest in their country, or place Top 20 worldwide, at the end of The 2019 Open, their invitation to The Games via SiD is passed to the athlete who finished 2nd. 

If the 2nd place athlete is also crowned the Fittest in their country, or places Top 20 in The Open, the invite passes to 3rd place, and so on and so forth.

Given the amount of countries represented amongst the athletes joining us next month, it could be possible to finish 3rd, 5th,7th at a Sanctioned event and still get that illusive invite. 

This should hopefully make for an even better weekend of competition for everyone involved!

Athlete Services at the CrossFit Meridian Regionals Madrid 2017

It was three amazing days of CrossFit Athletes from Europe, Africa and the Middle East competing to get to the CrossFit Games 2017 in the USA.

             

As ever the Athlete Services were there to keep the athletes going and treat any injuries over the three day period.

The Athlete services team are totally International with Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Sports Therapists from all over the World.

This was a chance to use the new IAST (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue) from Rocktape, the Rockblades.

This year we also had a chance to help athletes recover with the Compex 8.0.

Obviously we were still taping athletes with the only tape to use for CrossFit, Rocktape to help athletes to go stronger for longer.

Pectoral tears were a major concern to lots of athletes after 25 pectoral tears occurred in the US Regions.

We only had a few Pectoral tears which is a significant reduction and will help silence the critics about possible steroid use.

I would like to think that Athlete Services helped contribute to a reduction in this particular muscle injury.

However, all athletes we cautious of this injury so adjusted both their training and strategies accordingly.

The Bulletproofbodies Team would like to thank everyone of out therapeutic friends and well done to the fantastic Medical at CrossFit Meridian Regionals 2017.
