Masters Event Updates
Ok people, the Masters Event is right around the corner and we have a few updates:
- Jon Lucchesi, manager of Lululemon Walnut Creek, and CrossFit Sweat Shop member is offering Lululemon apparrel to the 1st place male and female finisher.
- Workout # 2 is no longer a Squat Clean, rather, simply a Clean. Athletes are not required to pass through a full front squat. The barbell must still start on the ground, and finish in the rack position while standing fully upright.
- The field is limited at 45 participants, and is currently more than half full. If you want to compete this weekend you should register now.
Why the change in the max effort lift (workout #2)? Not that it matters to me, I’m just hoping to survive the event. See ya Saturday!
Scott-
The change on workout #2 is to allow those less experienced lifters (those that, unfortunately, can power clean more than they can squat clean) to still get a decent lift. I wanted to avoid seeing someone reverse curl a barbell, and then do the front squat simply as a formality.
Makes sense to me.
