In 2009, “Commando” Steve Willis travelled to Aromas, California to compete in the CrossFit Games.
Willis from CrossFit Effects (CrossFit FX) finished the weekend in 4th, just outside the podium.
To this day, Commando Steve has been the most successful CrossFit Games athlete finishing the highest place of all athletes to compete. In front of high celebrated Aussie Chad Mackay, who finished 9th in 2012.
While we all may know Commando Steve for his work on the biggest loser, don’t ever forget just how bad ass and trail blazing of a legend he was!
Enjoy the throwback to the Deadlift Event in the 2009 CrossFit Games.
