It's just for fun but there will be prizes for local winners as well as prizes from the other affiliates for National winners.(men and women)! BBQ to follow for competitors. Where: CrossFit Kelowna. 360 Dougall Road N Kelowna. When: May 31st, 2008. Registration/weigh in will be at 10:00 am Cost: member: free, non-members: $10 If you are planning on competing, please contact info@crossfitkelowna.com or call 215-3653 so we can plan the events accordingly. The CrossFit total (for those who are not familiar) is a lifting event consisting of Back squat, standing overhead press and deadlift. After warming up you have 3 attempts at your 1 rep maximum in each of the 3 lifts. Your single heaviest successful lift in each of the lifts gets added together for your total. Pretty simple. For a lift to count, strict guidelines on form and range of motion must be adhered to, this means below parallel on squats, no laying back into a standing bench press on the overhead press, and no rounding on the deadlifts. It's fun to lift heavy stuff. For more info please see the website below.
