Level 1/2 Test: Monday, October 3rd. Get signed up here.

Level 3 Test: Several people are ready to test. If you keep upgrading yourself to the barbell, but haven’t demonstrated your efficiency on the platform, it’s time to put up. To those that have been testing through each level, diligently preparing and attacking shortcomings, it’s your time. So, stop, drop and get your name on the list. Saturday, October 8th at 10:30 am. 

***This is the last Level 3 Test of 2016.***

It should go without saying, but we’ll say it anywho, YOUR SHINS MUST BE COVERED TO DEADLIFT. If not, the kettlebells are waiting. But, it’s Friday. It’s Fall. Have some fun with your knee high selection.
