The bottom line: On paper, these workouts appear to be well-rounded tests of fitness, and will provide fantastic entertainment for the spectators in the stands and for viewers watching over the livestream. 

There are a variety of time domains that will be tested, and a mix of light-medium-heavy barbells have been programmed into the workouts. Odd objects in the form of deadballs feature amongst the programming and you will also find kettlebells in the mix too. Five of the seven workouts include at least one element of gymnastics. 

The weekend will finish with everyone’s favorite benchmark workout – Grace and Double Grace in a climactic final workout with points up for grabs for the first 30 reps in addition to the total 60 reps.
