Finishing in 5th<\/sup> place overall at last year\u2019s Games, Garret Fisher<\/a> is no newbie to CrossFit<\/a>. He first came to know the sport at age 15 while at the gym going through his usual routine \u2014 benching and doing curls. A trainer named Vince Carter (now his good friend) approached Fisher and suggested he try a new type of training. \u201cI gave him a call a day later, went to his studio and was introduced to CrossFit. I never looked back<\/a> since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since his 2012 CrossFit Open debut, Fisher has made a name for himself at the 2013 CrossFit Games, and was hailed as one to watch in 2014<\/a>. But his quick rise hasn\u2019t been without some grueling, knock-down workouts in between. As the California-native sets his sights on the next Games (airing on ESPN3<\/a> on July 25), we talked with Fisher about the good, the bad \u2014 and the ugly<\/i>. So what\u2019s the hardest CrossFit workout he\u2019s ever done? Get all the details here, and remember: Try the full workout<\/a> (below) at your own risk.<\/p>\n

Set the scene for us\u2026
\n<\/i><\/b>
\nIt was last year, at the Northern California Regionals. Event 4. Our competition was outside and it was a super<\/i> hot day … [When I heard what the workout was] <\/b>I wasn\u2019t very excited about it. We\u2019d done it at my home box and the workout crushed me \u2014 it devastated me. I went into the competition knowing it would be the hardest.<\/p>\n

When did things start going south?
\n<\/i><\/b>
\nIt wasn\u2019t until the chest to bar pull-ups that the pain set in. But the hardest part was the snatches with a 75-pound dumbbell. They destroyed me. And there was a 25-minute cap so you had to get as far as you could in that time. I remember looking at the clock with 30-plus snatches to go. Jason Khalipa<\/a>, a good friend who is from the same box as me in Nor Cal, was done and he told me to go \u2014 that I had to pump these snatches out.<\/p>\n

I remember seeing stars and I blacked out as soon as I finished. It took me about 10 minutes to recover. It was a terrible feeling, but I felt accomplished after.<\/p>\n
