whoever is shouting “go Jason go” a million times during this three minute clip I have to say is probably the most annoying person EVER! Kick *** job Jason.

He is dropping late but it doesn’t matter per the rules, maybe it was faster or easier for him to do it that way. The rules didn’t say you had to do any specific type of jerk motion/split or separate the movements, so I guess it’s fine to thrust/push press/press it up like that rather than doing a pause. Definitely powerful. congrats.

As impressive as this is, its even more impressive that Jason was able to stay within striking distance through the first 3 events that favored the smaller guys! Awesome job everyone! Early prediction for next year. . . .Pat Barber!

Khalipa, you’re a beast, man. Congratulations. That looked like one herculean effort.

Props go out to all the competitors in my book, though… anyone who has a first-hand clue about what CrossFit is can only have tremendous respect for you all.

How does 5x5x275# DLs favor smaller guys? o_O

Well, the burpees with them were definitely a factor and probably were the majority of everyone’s time in the event, so it might not have been an advantage to smaller guys, but its wasn’t a disadvantage considering the smaller guys got the best times in the event!
