What is the league of strength?

The league of strength is a test of your strength, open to all westgate members.
It will be based this year off 4 lifts:

  • Clean

We will total all 4 lifts and put it into the sinclair formula to give you your sinclair total.

It all kicks off next Monday 1st Februar, for 16weeks.
Till 21st May


How many attempts at the lifts will I get?

As many as you like in the 16weeks.
The league of strength will run in conjunction with regular sessions, if you feel like going for you big lift on a particular night, then go for it.

How are my lifts judged and recorded?
Lifts must be performed at Crossfit Westgate, with at least one coach as a witness to a successful lift.
All movements must meet the required standard.
Coaches will then record you lift in a special spreadsheet on google docs.
