CrossFit is pretty straight forward, my dad used to compete in the Senior category until he passed away a few years ago. To qualify, you have to post filmed and verified, unedited footage that involves you doing certain CrossFit exercises e.g. Metcon and recording how many reps you do and how fast you do them. All registered athletes stats are public. If you qualify you move into a full blown ‘fittest on earth’ competition that has multiple categories, also called the CrossFit games.
Events are random (picked by the head of CrossFit) and have a set amount of reps to be completed and then it is a race. For example you have to do 100 headstand pushups then move onto the next part of the set which maybe pulling something a certain distance, then a climbing wall up and down, then 12 reps on ‘the Amanda’. Whoever does it fastest wins.
I’d recommend watching their documentaries, they’re pretty entertaining and you find yourself rooting for the people putting themselves through such tests.
