The workouts have been kept secret for months, but CrossFit Abbotsford鈥檚 Matt McAleese, his brother Shane McAleese and the coaching staff of CFA put the program together and released details to the event on Monday.

鈥淭he nature of CrossFit is to make sure you鈥檙e well-rounded and you really have to prepare for anything and everything,鈥� Matt said. 鈥淥ne of the big surprises for this year is a wall climb. It鈥檚 actually burpees over the wall, so you do burpees and in between you have to climb over a wall. We built a wall especially for this event, so it鈥檒l be interesting to see the reaction to it.鈥�

He said the event is following the trend of the sport in general and using more dumbbells than in the past.

鈥淚n the world of CrossFit, it鈥檚 been named the year of the dumbbell,鈥� Matt said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 been an increase in the use of them over barbells compared to previous years. So we will see a lot of dumbbell snatches and more events using dumbbells.鈥�

Matt said the 2017 edition of the event will also feature much more vendors and more food and drink options for fans.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a great spectator sport and it鈥檚 really all about people pushing their limits and maybe providing some inspiration for anyone watching,鈥� he said.

CFA has three individual, one competitive team and two recreational teams competing at the event.

The event runs on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit throwdownseries.ca.
