2013: not competed
2014: #213 in Europe due to a penaly in 14.2 for using 42.5kg + Collars instead of 43 in plates.

Would really love to compete in the regionals next year! And would like to get even stronger!

Ben-
Thank you for all you do for so many folks, many of whom you will probably never meet. I have used you as my coach because programming for myself is difficult. Thank you for taking that stressor out! :) I don't know my standing from last year, except I know it wasn't memorable...wasn't in the running for much of anything. Climbing from nothing in 2013 to 21 in the North East in 2014...definitely memorable! Thank you.
This year:
Region: North East
Open finish 2014 NorthEast Masters: 21
Open finish 2014 world Masters: 154
I believe I now have to do 4 wods in 4 days...and need your support system still. So thank you again, in advance.

Just wanted to say thanks for the programming and the community as well. I seriously love waking up, having some coffee, and reading what the workout is and seeing the results so far. Since I am on the west coast, by the time I finish coaching my 6am group there are usually two dozen or more posts already.

I had an injury right before the Open and I really feel that this programming created a great deal of balance and strength. My PT said I would not be able to complete the first workout, but I recovered weeks faster than I should have. I did the regionals work just because I spend the first and last 2 hours of my day coaching various groups and sports. I usually can squeeze it all in. I don't have a coach since I live at the beginning of the world. Thanks again!

Just wanted to say thanks to you, Ben! The community you have created is phenomenal and the programming is by far the best resource in CrossFit! I started following CompWOD in December and have seen drastic results in such a short period of time. I am looking forward to the next six weeks of training before Regionals because I know you will have all of us well prepared. Thanks for all you do!

2013 for 6 months myself and my training partner Leon Uptegrove followed comp WOD, placed very well in the open that year.
After the open we took programming into our own hands and this year placed worse. Lesson learned, I cannot self program.
3+ weeks back on comp WOD and I'm feeling better than ever. Trusting in Ben and thriving on the community and push from everyone who follows. I firmly believe I have what it takes to be a regional contender ESPECIALLY under your leadership Coach Ben.

Next Step: Regional Individual

I started following this programme in December 2013 ready for the Battle of London competition in January 2014. After qualifying in 89th my goal was to come top 60 and I surpassed my expectations with a 32nd place finish, also being the youngest competitor there (20).

After the battle of London my aim was to come top 75 In the open and although I was dissappointed with my first 2 weeks performances I managed to turn it round and qualify in 37th place.

Before competitors wod I couldn't string together more than 2 or 3 muscle ups and my work capacity for multiple workouts consisting of different modal domains was poor. However I noticed a difference within the first 2 weeks, and started to feel as though I could PB in many areas. As an example, Snatch work in particular took me from a 90kg snatch to a 105kg snatch in a couple of months.

I would like to thank you Ben as I don't feel as though I would be in te position I am in now without your programming.

The fact you make this accessible to everyone reinstates the awesome community that we crossfitters have.

Hopefully in 6 weeks time I can comment about some form of success at the European regional.

This may look like a dramatic drop, but I am extremely proud of what I accomplished at (now) 17 weeks pregnant. In 14.1, I placed 61st in the region - and in 14.5, I placed 119th. Both workouts were my wheelhouses (light weight, cardio) - so I know that if I could BREATHE a little easier (I didn't realize how pregnancy tends to take that out of you quite a bit!), I know I would have placed MUCH higher.

I did not do so well on the chipper (14.4) (my abs felt like they were "separating" - it was a strange feeling...so TTB felt slooow. And, my CTB pull-ups have always been weak...so I struggled on 14.2 (and I would have no matter what). If anyone has any tips, please send it my way!

I didn't go as "hard" on the deadlift workout as maybe I could have, but I was trying to be smart - so I was happy with my score.

Anyway - I still made it in the top 10% of my region. I know what I REALLY need to focus on going forward. My goal/plan: continue to workout throughout the duration of this pregnancy as rigorous as I can - and come back 200% better for the 2015 Open. I am now coaching at a CrossFit gym - so I have access to coaching more readily again (yeah!) - and I am going to be a "stay-at-home mom" after this school year (I am a high school English teacher). I know that the 2015 Open season will be COMPLETELY different. So, my goal: be the most healthy and fit mom that I can be :) Oh - and place in the top 100 in the Mid-Atlantic region for 2015.

I know a lot of people in Russia following CompetitorsWod, and they are all deeply impressed by methodical beauty and quality of Ben's programming.
I want to say THANK YOU to Coach Ben, who gave us this amazing tool to become better. Who gave me a chance to become the 12th in Russia (Open2014).
I want to say THANK YOU to all Athletes posting their results which helps to rate yourself, and inspires to become Faster, Higher, Stronger. For me it seems to be the genuine CrossFit Community. International and Borderless. For me it is very important to see your results and improvements. I was really worried about all you doing Open14 WODs. So thank you guys and Good Luck to all those Regionals athletes and Masters200.
Also I'd like to say THANK YOU to my Dad Vadim Darchinov who opened CrossFit for me and amount of other people. Now he's on the 14th place (Worldwide Masters 45-49). Good luck on Masters200, hope you'll be on Games this year.

Ciao Ben!

I have not posted on here before and for that I apologize. My training is very inconsistent due to military training, but follow as best as I can. My wife and I moved to Italy with the Army last March during the first week of the 2013 Open. With a bit of luck in timing, shortly thereafter, we assumed control of the programming for a military non-profit affiliate called Crossfit Vicenza in Vicenza, Italy, and used this site as a guide. I would like to give a big thanks for helping us make a monster improvement as a team this year!

CF Vicenza, 2013 - 124th in Europe
2014 - currently 43rd in Europe

Not sure how everything will shake out in the next couple weeks, but I think we still have an outside shot at getting into the top 30. Qualifying a team for this years regionals was a lofty goal of ours. So if it works out, Team regionals. If not 2015 Open.

As for individually, I made a drastic improvement, and my wife a pretty big one as well.

I did not train at all from the end of the Open last year until August. After 3-4 months of literally no activity I jumped back into Crossfit with CompWOD in August (that hurt). While my percentile/placings did not show drastic improvements...I have come a long way. Though I am definitely in a Beastly type body (5'11" 215#), my best performance this year was in 14.2 full of chest to bars, a movement that has always been one of my worst. I also got my first Open Workout muscle up this year in 14.4, no longer do I make it to the rings just to stare at them for a few minutes!

2015 should shape up to be a full year of CompWOD and I expect to improve drastically and hopefully help our team get to regional's.

Thanks for the awesome programming!

Crossfit Mettle competitors have been following the blog since Feb 2013. We follow a week behind so we don't post. Our gym went from 55th to 14th place this year and will be competing at regionals for the first time. I know it has everything to do with this programming. I love watching all the comp bloggers on the score board. I was routing for Taylor Domengeux and Alex Romero last year at South Cental regionals and this year will be cheering for Dex Hopkins, our regional team and our superstud Chely Galvan as she represents Mettle.
Thanks to everyone on this blog for providing motivation and humility all in one place!

My lungs got much better with your programming, my strength probably stayed about the same and my skills got better. This year the OHS wod killed me as that lift and my lack of mobility kill me. However, through your programming it has improved 200%. If 95# ohs was in the 2013 open I would not have gotten many. This year I could do 10 unbroken it just took a lot out of me as I am fighting every rep.

Thanks for all you do for all of us.

I really wanted to finish in the top 300. I was right there until the last WOD which exposed a weakness and crippled my ranking. I had only been following CompWOD for 2-3 months. I'm looking forward to shoring up my weakness and getting a full year of programming under my belt. Also looking forward to climbing the ranks next year and possibly making a regional’s appearance ( either team or individual).

Ben, Thank you for the great programming!

I've been following compwod since October of 2013. I've made some incredible gains because of it. All my lifts have gone up, got my first muscle up the first week of the Open and have become much more efficient at a lot of movements. The personal goals I had set for myself for this years Open was to make top 1000 and or be in the top 25%. Making top 100 was a pipe dream. I exceeded both of these. 2013 I was in the last 68%. This year that improved to top 21% out of a little over 3800 women.
The big thing I need to improve on is a bigger engine and get my lifts up even more. Regionals in 2015 or 2016 is the ultimate goal which is acheivable with this amazing programming. Big thank you to Ben for providing it!

Open 2014 - DNF
Don't know what happened. Performance went way down after February. I qualified 10th right behind Lacee Kovacs for Central European Throwdown, felt absolutely great. Then I got Tonsillitis which knocked me out of the competition. Was down for a week. Haven't been right since. I'm guessing stress from losing my job and going through the process of starting my own box - CrossFit Yggdrasil in Oslo, Norway - had something to do with it. Dunno. Feet forward. ;)
We follow CFNE at my box and I'm looking to punch 2015 square in the mouth. Got a whole crew of us there that follow CompWOD like religion and are already hard at work for next year. Built by Bergeron baby!
Keep up the great programming and the good you bring to the CrossFit community as a whole. I'll do my part to help in that aspect as well.

Went on my own with my partners for 2014 and it was a disaster. Just goes to show in my own hands I won't challenge myself.

Herniated a thoracic disc during 14.1, which drastically affected the rest of the workouts, which I did despite Dr. strongly discouraging it. so this finish doesn't reflect the drastic improvements I've made since last year. Our team is at 32nd right now so I'm almost certain we'll make it to regionals. Our whole gym follows this program. Thanks for your generosity in providing this excellent programming.

Thanks Ben for everything you've done for not only me, but to all of the comp followers on here. I have seen huge gains and have gotten a lot better at my weaknesses since I started following last June with a few other Apex members. Late October I suffered a broken rib and was out 8 weeks, so after healing and coming back in December, my goal was to be back where I was for the open before being injured. I came back faster than I expected and exceeded my expectations for the open. Thanks again Ben, looking forward to what this year has in store.

Disappointed to drop off a little bit, but percentile-wise I was basically the same. After 5 years of CF, big improvements are tough. But this year was also a challenge with my son being born in November, which meant a lot more days in the garage training alone. Also missed a month due to a back injury, so I can't complain about my finish too much.
Biggest weakness is still just purely conditioning - no workout in particular killed me, but engine still isn't there to hang with the big dogs.

Luckily, not only do I follow the Comp Programming, but I get to train at CFNE directly with Ben and our phenomenal coaches. 2014 is going to be completely starting from scratch and rebuilding my form (or more accurately, fixing all my bad habits). No better time to start than now.

Next Step: Hoping to contribute scores for the team in Open 2015

The end of the open marked 7 mos of doing crossfit and about 2 1/2 mos following the comp wods with our group at Apex. Placed above 1,000 in 14.4 (woohoo! Have to start somewhere, right?). I'm excited to continue following the programming and to see what gains I can in the next year.

Open finish 2014: 55,036 out of 71,228 (77.3%)
Open finish 2013: 43,189 out of 46,240 (93.4% place)
Next Step: 2015 Open

Started off this Open season great.. but the last two workouts (esp 14.5) did not go well. It is better than last year even though i wanted to finish in the 50-60% range. Next year I want to finish in the 40-50% range (if not better). Following the programming on this site at about 75% since November 2013. Looking forward to being more consistent this year. Thanks for the programming

2014 was my first open.
4199 worldwide
207 in the region
Goal next year: regionals as a team or individual.
Even in the two short months I've been following this programming, I have really embraced my weaknesses, and have a much more positive attitude towards working through challenging workouts. Thankyou so much for the time you put into this site! Looking forward to where we'll all be with another year of competitor's wod programming under our belts!

Felt like I was in a really good place going into the Open but suffered a setback injury at the ECC then broke a rib on some icy stairs about 4 weeks before the first open workout which really set me back...can only go up from here!

Not sure for 2015 season, either Team or Individual.

As Maxime Dufault and Philippe St-Jean mentioned before, I will be a member of the DEKA CrossFit Team for a 2nd year in a row, and very proud to have the chance to represent my family at the big show!!

We all improved so much in the past year (been following since the Games) thanks to this programming. Looking forward to perform our best at Regionals and another year of hard work with the CFNE family.

Thank you Ben for everything, for improving lives and changing the world, one athlete at a time!
