Just like is any CrossFit competition, you have to be good at everything to win. Chris, or more popularly HAM, was the most well rounded out of everyone which is what made him a clear winner. Measurements, benchmarks, and points were all exceptional. We also need to add that HAM was on the first responder team that won last weekend, and he is training for the Boston Marathon. Crazy mofo.
I remember a year ago talking to HAM and complementing him on his improvements at that time. He told me then that he would never reach is full potential in CrossFit because he would never give up pizza and beer on the weekends. Well, he proved himself wrong. It is especially cool to see someone win who has been doing CrossFit for over a year before the challenge and get this level of results. It is a great testament to the paleo principles.

12.3 5 rounds +7 rx
I got stuck at work today so I rocked out with the 7:30 CREW. (It’s seriously awesome that there’s so many available class times for those of us that can only get it in at night.)
12.3: 5 Rounds + 24 [My games profile survives another week without a DNF!]
I got to judge BORG tonight. I felt like I was watching a sneak preview of a movie that everyone else will be jocking months later, or getting on the ground floor of a stock that’s about to blow up, or maybe just getting to watch a great athlete do a workout for the first time, or something. When her kipping T2B were on, they were freaking ?ON?. Best of luck to you Sarah on perfecting those.
jason! thank you! i am half asleep with a huge smile on my face! hopefully, my full length feature will live up to the preview! in all seriousness, i was so pumped when I saw you were in the 730 class and was even more pumped when aaron partnered us up! your enthusiasm is fucking awesome. i cant get enough! so happy you made your way to southie! awesome job to you and Sergio and George! 730 brought it tonight!!!
everyone looks slammin!!! congrats homies!

WOW, All HAM does is WIN WIN WIN!
Awesome results everyone. I especially like that a few of these paleo transformations turned frowns upside down.
jason barrow, you are the best judge ever!
Journal today has K-Star and Carl Paoli going over position for box jumps. Wish I had seen this video before today’s WOD, worth checkin’ out.
Thanks, I would have missed this if you didn’t point it out. I’m box-jump-challenged, maybe this will help on 12.3.
I love these results!!! Every one kicked butt! Keep up the good changes, cant wait to see some of you guys in actions!! Lil Jon- Pumped AWSOME job bro!!!!!
wow, you all look amazing! awesome numbers!
Congrats to everyone especially the winners! onthatpaleowave! lol
Fantastic job everyone!!! You all look amazing!
WHOA! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
WOW! Congrats all! You all look amazing!! Almost makes me wish I had allowed Amy to take a better ‘before’ photo of me. Almost…
I took the challenge because another member asked me to do it. I did not expect to complete it. I can’t believe I improved as much as I did in the benchmarks, either: especially the deadlift and Fran. Pull-ups are not my friends, and I was *thrilled* that I only used green bands for that first set of 21. For me, that was huge. It really feels like a turning point–I’ve even started going to open gym on Saturdays. 🙂 Now I’m trying to stay on track, post-challenge. I’m sitting here, eating paleo dinner, when what I really wanted tonight was a slice of pizza!
love it!
What a great Paleo challenge group and the fire around the box has been amazing and extremely motivational. Congrats to everyone that participated!
Congratulations guys on all the hard work
Ham doesn’t even look like the same person! Awesome job everybody!
You all look amazing! I’m so impressed and motivated to try and eat Paleo! Congratulations!
