Howdy 307ers, you may have noticed the new leader boards in the box. We're hoping you find these as motivational and use them as something to work for. The programming going forward will begin to incorporate the different categories over time. We'll make a note in the daily posting when you have a chance to get your name on the board. Getting your name on the board will be dependent on coming to the class where we'll be testing the category. We'll keep track of the top 5 performers. This is a bit different from the previous Legends test where you could come in and say you want to be tested on one, so show up to class and get it on!

The other important side of this is developing a better understanding and enforcement of proper standards of movement. When Coaches give you the standards of movement and yell "hips below parallel" or "get that ball up to the blue line" or "get that kettlebell over head" and "head through the hole" it's because that is the fitness industry, and more specifically, CrossFit HQ's standard for proper execution of the movement where there is maximum benefit to the body. Many athletes have written scores on the board with an "rx" next to their names because they used the prescribed weight but range of motion was sorely lacking. That's not doing the workout "as prescribed" even though it's still hard work and can improve fitness, albeit in a less beneficial way. (this is why we emphasize scaling because it allows you to develop proper range of motion and thus maximum benefit to the body) Part of a workout being done "as prescribed" means you not only did the listed weight but you also had the proper range of motion. As we test these categories going forward, Coaches and Counters will be looking for proper range of motion as well as prescribed weight and rep count. Let The Fun Begin!
