Where is it at?

Where ever your standing. For the open you submit you times/scores online. The top 40 (I think is the number) from each region goes on to regionals. Our regional is in Columbus. Last year there was over 70,000 people who signed up for the open world wide.

Can you look at last years results, like workouts and scores?

Here's the link to the leader board. Just change the year to 2012 if it isn't already.

How do they know if people cheat about scores and such?

How are your numbers progressing?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's the fact that in the end you'll get found out. However you may have to submit a video of you doing the work out.

How do they know if people cheat about scores and such?

Your scores have to be submitted by an affiliate or you have to submit a video of you doing the workout. The affiliate has to have some one who has completed the online judges course and that person has to have witnessed you doing the work out. This year the winner of each open workout gets a little over $2000. T be eligible for the cash you must submit a video.

 

There is probably still some cheating but it will become obvious once that person goes to regionals.

Also keep in mind that there isn't really anything to gain by cheating. Yeah you may win a spot at regionals but if you can't win the spot with legit scores in the open workouts you will get smashed at regionals. The open workouts are usually keep pretty inclusive, meaning any really o

hard movements like muscle ups or pistols are buried at the tail end of tough workouts. Most guys like myself will never get to the movements before time runs out on the workout. Also the open is kept fairly light, the weir really goes up at regionals.

How are your numbers progressing?

 

Good. I dialed it back two months, to start the year due to the intensity of EDT. I pulled 405 in December and did 350 by 5 last week, so I am hoping that my numbers at the end of the year crush my final numbers from '12. My press goal was 185, but I did 160 by 4 last week, so I should kill that as well squat and bench are my concerns. Never been a big bencher or squater.
