Awesome effort from everyone who participated yesterday.

PB’s everywhere.

Gus, Luke and Michelle pulled Deadlift PB’s

Luke and Inez PB’d in the dead hang pull ups. Inez, your dead hang pull ups are insane! 15 reps!! That’s an amazing effort.

A bit of coaching beforehand and everyone smashed out plenty of snatches too.

The Tactical Strength Challenge (TSC) is a strength competition consisting of three events:

• A three-attempt powerlifting deadlift
• Pullups for max reps
• Kettlebell snatches for max reps in a 5:00 time period

Purpose
The purpose of the TSC is to test absolute strength (deadlift), bodyweight-relative strength (pullups), and cardiovascular endurance (kettlebell snatches). The three events test a unique trade-off between these abilities. Heavier participants have an advantage in the deadlift, lighter participants have an advantage in pullups. The kettlebell snatch tests all participants more or less equally.

Classes of Competition
We are running with 4 Divisions.

1. The Men’s Elite Division uses a max deadlift, pullups with 10kg of added weight (22 lbs), and snatches with a 32kg kettlebell.
2. The Men’s Novice Division uses a max deadlift, bodyweight pullups, and snatches with a 16kg kettlebell.
3. The Women’s Open Division uses a max deadlift, bodyweight pullups, and snatches with a 16kg kettlebell.
4. The Women’s Novice Division uses a max deadlift, bodyweight pullups, and snatches with a 12kg kettlebell.

There are no weight classes, since the different events variously favour heavier or lighter competitors by design.

When: Saturday 20th June 2009, 12.30pm
Who: The Cell Tactical Strength Challenge is only open to The Cell Members
Entry Fee: $5.00
Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each Division

To enable everyone to take part we can scale the pullups with the use of bands. A scoring system will ensure all competitors are on a level playing field.
