Highlights from Days One and Two of the 2015 Invictus Athlete Online Competition
Written by C.J. Martin

There are a lot of beasts out there putting up some top scores! I have been really impressed by the comments…and not too surprised that everyone found events 7 and 8 more difficult than expected.

Speaking of beasts, Sigurður Hafsteinn Jónsson bench pressed 385 lbs for 2 reps yesterday…and then followed it up with solid performances on events 6-8. Sigurður is one of our online athletes from Iceland and is coached by Tino Marini. We’ve been extremely pleased with his progress and expect him to continue to improve and make some waves in Europe this 2016 CrossFit season.

We’re also happy to see Invictus Athlete Josh Littauer back in action after rehabbing a biceps injury. He appears to be coming back stronger than ever.

Day 1 of Invictus Online comp done and it was a blast!

Congrats also to Joyce Wang, who has been following the blog, working with our friend Julien Pineau and crushing PRs on a weekly basis.

Really surprised myself on the 3 rep max front squat as part of the #invictus online competition. 15lb PR for me after taking the past week off due to an injury ::: 240lb. Pulled a @dan_bailey9 mashed potato on the last rep ?? @cjinvictus @crossfitinvictus
