Shortly after a golden bumper plate was hung around his neck, an exhausted Graham Holmberg walked off the floor of the Home Depot Center and back to reality. His torn-up hands grasped a check for 25,000 big ones, his body surely ached, and it was time to rest ... until the crew from Again Faster snatched him up for another interview.
After their first attempt was disrupted by noise from equipment tear-down, they found a quieter spot to dissect the finer points of the Games with the 2010 champ.

I talked with Graham for quite a while this past weekend at my level one cert and he is one mellow dude....but when I timed him on a WOD (185lbs push-press 5ea and 10 burpees x 5 rounds) he is all business....that boy can move on burpees!...hes a great guy and no issues with questions we had....
Oh?...his time on that WOD?....
