Round of twenty-seven. Lewin got to seventeen pull ups and came off the bar.

A lot of the field stayed on. Twenty-seven straight through, down to the barbell, and for the first minute or so it looks like the right call.

He never came off the bar again. Twenty-one unbroken. Fifteen unbroken. Nine unbroken. He spent a few seconds in the first round and bought himself the entire rest of the workout, and he won the event by forty-one seconds.

The cleans went the same way round. Nine, nine and nine while he was fresh. Eight and seven in the middle. Then nine straight through at the end, when everybody else’s grip had gone west.

He also put the bar down in the lunge every single round. Including the last one, with nine reps left and the finish in sight.

This strategy was decided before the day of the workout at the Games. In training, running intervals of that exact workout until the numbers told us where his grip would go. We went in planning to break it up more than he did. He read it on the day and took two sets instead of three on the first set of pull ups.

That is what a plan is for. Not to be followed. To be known well enough that you can move off it by one set and still be right.

The Next Gen squad train against each other, so none of them get to test an idea like that in private. You find out what your grip actually does while somebody you know is on the next bar going unbroken.

JST Athletes did this workoutlast week. Every one of you met the same bar in the round of twenty-seven and made the same call, most of you in the moment, most of you for the first time.

That is the thing we are actually trying to fix. Not your pull ups. The decision in front of them. You Athlete IQ, thats why we have leaderboard workouts to test this.

What a weekend kicking off Nike x JST Next Gen.

We started 5 years ago with a youth training day, which grew into training camps, which grew into a training squad, and which now has the support of Nike.

The goal is the same as it’s always been: to provide young people with a place to connect with like-minded peers, to learn, have fun, work hard and pursue their dreams of competing in CrossFit.

I feel very grateful that Nike are going to help support that and help us grow it.

Every camp I finish with the same sense of what a privilege it is to coach these guys, and this one was no different.

As the youths would say… it’s giving kinda chic to be in our Nike era vibes.

Second in the 17-18 male division at the IF3 European Championships.

At the start of this year plenty of people would have written Ben Milner off. Not strong enough. Not ready. There were moments he doubted it himself.

But that is the thing about an underdog. Nothing to lose, everything to fight for. So he fought for every scrap, every inch.

Qualifying for the Games: ✅
Competing at the Games ✅
Podium at Europeans: ✅
Worlds incoming. Coming 🔜

Ben trains with our junior and youth squad, and this is what he has just shown every athlete in it. The podium is not reserved for someone else. One of their own stood on it.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Congratulations Ben. Worlds next.

If you have a young athlete who wants to compete properly, DM us JUNIORS and we will tell you how the squad works.
