[CFI Event] CrossFit Total Meet

CrossFit Total Meet, October 9th

Hey All,

CrossFit Ireland will be hosting a CrossFit Total Meet on Saturday, October 9th as part of our Winter Strength Challenge with our members.

We know a lot of people out there are doing Starting Strength, Stronglifts, or 5-3-1 on their own and figured this would be a great opportunity for them to test their lifts in a friendly, relaxed environment.

The competition itself involves attempting a one-rep-max at the back squat, shoulder press and deadlift. Many of our members will be entering this as their first ever lifting competition so it'll be a good experience for people who may be considering a powerlifting event in the future.

Further details of our Strength Challenge and a sign up sheet are available here - http://crossfit.ie/events/winter-strength-challenge/

Any questions, please give us a shout.

Thanks,
Colm

Thats why its the Crossfit Total instead of Powerlifting.

The explanation is in that article.

It actually wasn't, but looking at the dates it actually brings me into it perfectly. Unreal!!

I ran smolov press to increase shoulder strength before running smolov bench to increase chest strength to get that 170kg bench and rub it in your face

Who from boards is lifting on Saturday?

Hanley

Me and L, and I'm bringing along a friend. He still hasn't signed up yet actually. Better beat him into it now.

is that who i think it is?

I plan on bombing on squat, stuggling with my second attempt on press, and pulling more than Hanley :P

All while weighing an obscene amount.

I signed up there.

Glad to see such great interest in this. We've about 40 people signed up for the Total, with everyone from people opening at 40Kg to Hanley and the big boys opening at 2 Million Kg!

Should be a great day.

Thanks,
Colm

You sure can. We've a few members who are clearing up mobility issues and have set Dec 11th as a target for a competition to enter.

Anyone willing to pop along feel free to call out. We'll be starting the lifting at 12 with the lightest bars loaded, then getting heavier as the day progresses.

How did this go on Sat guys?

Any big numbers, particulalry on the press?

overhand_right

Yeah im interested in doing the next one how did it go?

Colm_OReilly

Hey all,

The day went very smoothly, and some great PRs from a lot of the guys.

The full results can be seen here - http://www.crossfit.ie/media/CFT20101009.xls

Next comp is on Dec 11th if anyone wants to enter.

(Mods, if this isn't cool, please feel free to remove)
In related news we've set up a trade account with Adidas and will be putting in a group order for the new lifting shoes. They'd normally run about €130 brought in from the UK but we'll have them for €110. If anyone wants in please let us know.

Thanks,
Colm

I was sick over the weekend and missed this. Did it yesterday and got 110/62.5/150 @ 75kg. Lot's of work to do before the next one with a goal of reaching 140/70/180.

I wasn't at this because I am a total idiot. Well done, everyone on that list though.
