M&M extends big time congrats to Carl for hitting three Personal Records this morning. Under the watchful eye of The Hulk Carl loaded the bar with plates and got some. Way to go Carl!
The rules for the lifts… It must be understood that good form in the lifts is inherent in the rules for testing them. The order for performing the three lifts will be squat, press, and then deadlift. The best single attempt for each of the three lifts are added together for the CrossFit Total. There is no time limit for each lift or for the length of the session in which they are all performed, but they must all be performed during one session—i.e., you cannot leave the area to rest or perform other activities between the three lifts. Multiple progressions to the best attempt are not allowed; do not work up to your best squat, then change an item of equipment or clothing and work up to it again to try to better your first effort.
