“No, we're not going to do an equipment list this year. But I will say and I think I already have made it pretty clear that, like, we are very committed to using an equipment profile, that's, you know, it's pretty vanilla.” CrossFit Competition Director Adrian Bozman joins host Chase Ingraham on today’s episode to discuss all things 2024 CrossFit Open, including simple changes to past requirements, balancing programming, and regional exemptions. The CrossFit Open began in 2011. It was CrossFit’s first online competition.
