CrossFit Liftoff #TBT

Interested in participating in the worldwide Liftoff this weekend at Arena Ready?  Check out yesterday's post here and get then your butt in the gym this weekend!

#TBT Throwback Thursday to last year's 2016 CrossFit Liftoff when two of the worldwide champs were from right here at ARENA READY!  

Cassie won the -130 class worldwide with a performance that included a HUGE lifetime PR snatch of 182 pounds at 129 pounds bodyweight (that's 141% of bodyweight, folks!).

Sarah also won her weight class for the second year in a row (she was the 2015 champ as well), and perhaps more impressively finished 3rd overall among all classes worldwide.  Her 2016 Liftoff performance included a lifetime PR clean & jerk (complete with power clean for flair) of 265 pounds.

Additionally, each athlete who had been following our Barbell Club programming in 2016 over the last training cycle prior to the Liftoff hit lifetime PRs and/or "current era" PRs in their lifts.  It was an exciting time in the gym last November, and we're looking forward to another fun event this year!
