Noah Ohlsen Wins Mary With 677 Reps — 2019 CrossFit Games

Noah Ohlsen had never finished first in a CrossFit Games event until he faced benchmark workout Mary in 2019.

Ohlsen completed 115 handstand push-ups, 230 singe-leg squats, and 332 pull-ups in 20 minutes, for a total of 677 reps and his first career event win.

“This moment right here was so special. It’s one of those moments where everything was just perfect. It was a packed Coliseum, thousands of people, really, really high energy, in the moment was doing everything that I could to really soak that all in. I wanted that to be a powerful, positive memory that I could look back on for the rest of my life.”

This is the guy I come back to look at whgen I need a reminder that crossfit athletes are on the geat. This guy went from being skinny, to a super hero in like a year.

Transition time difference between the two is massive.

Olsen powered ahead because of it.

If you were in a competition where butterfly pull ups were allowed, and you knew all your competitors would be doing them to save time, please don’t act like you wouldn’t do them too lmao

[scotthaefele]

I don’t even know where or how to watch the games anymore. Miss them on YouTube.

mis respetos para todos los seres que hacen practican y compiten en crossfit

[ulyssesilunatici]

Is this how peak performance looks like?😂

[stjfv]

Idgaf if those were quarter reps dude was shredded with crazy dexterity to bust single leg squat.

[stevenk]

when are they going to do pull ups and the push ups?

[WarriorFromVLHLL]

This is why most people who are serious about S&C think crossfit is a joke. Fish out of water "pullups" and even complete nonsense kipping handstand pushups.

[Maz-zbuf]

Are these pull up safe because of the motion of the movement sorry does this damage the shoulder cuff

[ThatSweeperGuy]

Who decided that this counts? I just don’t get it

[Horndog]

Ohlsen got em some of Mat’s secret beta alanine before that event

[midvil]

Its like a cross between the worm and row row your boat

[amirmorales]

No rep dudes, i welcome you to do a Rx class at your nearest crossfit. Lmk how it went

[kaladin]

Even the hand stand push ups make no sense. Kicking the legs up makes them 80% easier. also pushing the head on the ground helps alot.

[mrnumba]

I'm still waiting for the first pullup.😂

[LUIS]

It is becoming boring to read that comment of "not a single pull up was performed" in every pull up crossfit video, I wish that when others saw the first coment criticizing they could just give it a like becoming the top commentary every time and move on to less obvious thinkings

[RickyRayPhotography]

Everyone talking about the pull ups is so annoying. The body control that you have to have to do it correctly and efficiently is difficult. All of these guys can do strict pull ups. These are kipping pull ups and it’s just a different type of workout that’s exhausting. Quit acting like you could do what Noah did here. You can’t.

Pistol squats okay good
Pull whats???
