Make sure you write your name down in order to preorder a shirt or tank top! I am going to order them on Monday, so please get your order in on Saturday at the latest!

About tomorrow's workout:

Ben Bergeron, owner of CrossFit New England calls this his "test for pure conditioning (not skill, not strength). This test makes it easy to compare athletes across a spectrum of sizes, locations, and regardless of skill or equipment... This is also an incredible test of mental toughness, as it is very easy to give up on this workout mentally before your body actually reaches failure. Basically, this is a test of 'Whatcha-got?'"

The top score for men is held by Paul Tremblay: 27 rounds + 15 reps

and for women Cheryl Nasso: 24 rounds + 19 reps

Congratulations to everyone who hit a new PR on the Clean & Jerk today! Be on the lookout for more 1 Rep Max tests coming up! Make sure you are recording your workout results in a WOD journal or on Beyond the Whiteboard (use "GETPRIMAL" to sign up if you haven't already). It is vital to know your numbers for your lifts and WODs so you can see how you improve over time. CrossFit produces results that are "measurable, observable, and repeatable".

7 years ago, Jared decided to take his love of CrossFit to the next level and become an affiliate, He started in his car port with a handful of friends and after a few months decided to open a physical location, behind Britton Plaza. Using about 1200 square feet, a few sets of rings, one rower, and many good friends, we worked out at "CrossFit Thumbs Up 2.0" until 2016, when we decided it was time to expand! We found our current location and became Primal Empowerment. We would not be where we are if it wasn't for our amazing community and we appreciate each and every one of you. Here's to 7 more years!

To celebrate, we will be doing "Mary", a benchmark "girl" workout in CrossFit.

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a fitness regimen developed by Greg Glassman over several decades. Glassman, CrossFit's Founder and CEO, was the first person in history to define fitness in a meaningful, measurable way: increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. He then created a program specifically designed to improve fitness and health.

CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for...
