This month's challenge involves the sandbags! Each person will choose the weight of sandbag that they are comfortable with and then with perfect technique, they will clean the bag from the ground to their shoulder. On each rep, you will change shoulders so you are not uneven afterwards. The challenge is to see how many times you can clean the sandbag from the ground to your shoulder in one minute. Your score is the total amount of weight accumulated in the minute (weight x number of reps = score). Best of luck to everyone!

Ok, CrossFit Harrogate! You have all shown a massive competitive spirit recently and so we thought it was time we had a little challenge for box bragging rights! On 19 January 2014, we will hold the first annual CrossFit Harrogate Lion’s Pride Challenge. This competition will be open to members only and will give the winning team bragging rights for the year. But before you get too far into planning your teams, we want to make sure things are fair, so keep reading to see how it will work. All interested members will sign up by 15 December. Once we have the list of competitors, the coaches will get together and pick the teams. Teams will consist of two men and two ladies and will be put together so as to give each team a fighting chance. Workouts and team selections will be released the week prior to the event and all movements will have a scalable option so that anyone can participate. The competition will be followed by a get together that may or may not have beer involved (gluten free, of course!). The cost to enter the competition will be £10 and will entitle you a Lion’s Pride Challenge t-shirt. Please sign up at the box if you are interested!
