    Default Brooke Ence is Returning to CrossFit Competition in 2020

    Brooke Ence is Returning to CrossFit Competition in 2020


    After taking time to work on her businesses and rehab injuries, Ence is back.

    In popular culture, Brooke Ence may be one of the better known CrossFit® athletes, due in part to her well publicized appearance in the Wonder Woman movie, the time she competed against Mattie Rogers and Dana Linn Bailey in the excellent Brute Strength Women’s Showdown, and the fact that she has more Instagram followers than Tia-Clair Toomey.


    But she hasn’t actually been competing at a high level in CrossFit for some time. The first and last time the 30-year-old went to the Games was in 2015 (she placed 14th), and she skipped the Open last year after placing 77th worldwide in 2018.


    We should note she herniated some discs in 2017 and had surgery for a spinal fusion, so she needed to slow down her training. She qualified for Regionals in 2018, but decided to drop out after experiencing chronic shoulder pain.

    But she’s back! In a new video she posted titled New Year, New Brooke, she announced that she’s competing in the 2020 CrossFit Games season.




    I’ve been reminded many times so far, that I’m 30. Everyone’s like, ‘Brooke, you’re thirty. No wonder you’re sore! You’re not gonna recover as fast or the same way you used to!’

    … and taking it easy on her left shoulder to avoid re-injuring it. But it’s a great, positive video that really focuses on the fact that she’s excited to train hard, lift with old friends, and enjoy the experience without expectations.
    Meanwhile she’s also working on her online training program, her skincare line, her clothing line, and more, so Ence has her hands full in 2020. There’s no word yet on which Sanctionals she’ll be competing in, but we wish her the best of luck in the upcoming season.

    FAQs

    How tall is Brooke Ence?

    Brooke Ence stands at about 5 feet 7 inches tall, or 170 centimeters. She’s known for her lean, athletic physique, which she maintains with CrossFit-style workouts.
    What does Brooke Ence eat in a day?

    Brooke Ence has worked closely with nutrition coaching service Working Against Gravity, and follows a relatively high carb diet. Her ideal breakfast is egg whites, bacon, turkey, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, and corn tortillas. She limits gluten, dairy, and very fibrous (ie. cruciferous) vegetables.
    Was Brooke Ence in Wonder Woman?

    The CrossFit athlete had a small role in both Wonder Woman and Justice League as an Amazonian warrior. She never spoke on screen, but her character’s name was Penthiselea. She said that she was “super bummed” that many of her scenes were cut, but you can see her fighting on the beach against soldiers early in the movie.

    Glad to hear she's back on track. Those spinal fusions are tough to rehab through. Strong, fit, young lady.

    I saw an interview where she was getting some stem cell done. Think it was for her shoulder.
