Two-Time CrossFit Games Adaptive Division Champ Casey Acree is Working Hard to Earn a Third Title

In what he described as a “fun little gymnastic session,” Acree’s 9,500 followers saw him working through the circuit-style training session. Exercises were modified when needed to accommodate the absence of Acree’s left arm below the elbow, but he was was able to execute the workout with intensity.

• SkiErg — 24 calories
• Rope Climb — 4.6 meters (15 feet) x 4 reps
• Strict Handstand Push-up — 8 reps
• Bar Muscle-up — 8 reps
• Overhead dumbbell walking lunge — 15.2 meters (50 feet) with one 70-pound dumbbell

Acree rested for three minutes before proceeding to the second circuit.

Acree rested another three minutes before repeating each circuit for a second set. He posted his times for each section of the workout, respectively: 4 minutes, 30 seconds / 4 minutes, 21 seconds for the first set and 4 minutes, 25 seconds / 4 minutes, 4 seconds for the second round.

In the post caption, he acknowledged that he’s not likely to encounter all of the movements included in the workout when he competes at the Games, but he still feels they can be beneficial.

“I know I’ll never do about 80% of these things in competition, but competition has never been my only purpose for training. I do this ’cause I enjoy challenging myself and expressing myself physically. That will last me longer than any competition ever will.”
