The 2023 CrossFit Games results were not what two-time Fittest Man on Earth® Justin Medeiros anticipated. After finishing 29th and 37th in the first two events, following a pair of bike crashes in the first event, Medeiros couldn’t catch up on the leaderboard by the end of the competition.


Medeiros ranked 13th overall and relinquished the Fittest Man on Earth® title to Jeffery Adler of Canada. Patrick Vellner and Roman Khrennikov took silver and bronze, respectively.


On Sept. 16, 2023, Medeiros returned from some vacation time and published a video on his YouTube channel wherein he shared his first week of programming back in the gym. Check it out below::

Medeiros did two circuits on the first day:

Day Two — Active Rest Day
30-minute AMRAP (as many reps as possible):


  • 10 Basketball Free Throws
  • 10 Calorie Row For Every Miss
On his rest day, Medeiros practiced his basketball shot. He attempted 10 free throws in a round with the stipulation that he would burn 10 calories on the Concept2 RowErg for each missed shot.
