Unity adds Crossfit...

BIG NEWS FOR RAW UNITY 6: We just got the approval to hold an official Cross Fit competition at the Raw Unity weekend in February!!! More details to come soon, but this is something we have been trying for a couple of years now--and that is to add various strength sports to the Raw Unity weekend to supplement the showcased powerlifting competition. Tentatively, the Cross Fit will be from 9am-12pm on both Saturday and Sunday mornings; and the powerlifting will begin at noon. These changes will be reflected in the online entry form on the Raw Unity web site soon. Thank You Jackson Springs Recreation Center!

Let the crossfitians get up early. Enjoy the extra sleep and then crush the puny runners.

Fair enough. My main concern is that too much is being added and it will turn into a cluster.

A lot of changes are being made, and I am simply paranoid.

308 current class records are:

Squat - 688
Deadlift - 738

I want both of these. That's the goal at least. Class bench record in 457. That isn't happening.

The numbers seem weird since I thought recently Dan Green squatted 760 @ 220 and Jamie Lewis squatted 650 @ 181 in RAW 504 clash for cash. Is RAW different from RAW Unity? Just curious - I really dont have much ideas about PL feds, what with so many feds around.

They don't have the 308 on the current RUM entry form so I wondering if they dropped that class. I put in a question regarding it...

Regarding Jamie, he is is close to an all-time weight record for his class, but I am 450+ pounds from the all-time record in my class.

Here are the records:

Here's what Eric has to say:

Yeah Steve--we did away with the 308 class as a "class" at RUM; but one can still break 308 RUM records. In other words, if a lifter weighs 306 then he will be in the SHW class--BUT he can break 308 RUM records.

Different organizations, there are way to many feds out there. Raw Unity and Raw504 are actually not even feds, but invitation events. Yeah I know its crazy.
