Athletes must meet at least 19 of 21 standards – muscle-up and handstand push-up capacities are mandatory.
Prior to beginning the program, it is made clear that this is a program for athletes who want to compete in the sport of CrossFit and who have goals to do well at the Open and Regional levels.
We hope affiliates and CrossFitters may find this useful.”
