The trials of the CrossFit® Quarterfinals
Test1: the layout probably indicates HSPU (deficit) and a pair of dumbbells that can be used for many things;
Quiz 2: GHD and rings. Will we have RMU or toes to ring?
Quiz 3: target wall ball, rope and a space for handstand walk of 25 feet?
Test 4: Racks and bars. Maybe we will have a CrossFit® Total 2 (max benchpress, clean and overhead squat)?
Quiz 5: Concept 2 bar, box and rowing machine(must be of this brand).
And then what?
After the quarter-finals have been completed and finalized, the best athletes from each region will be invited to compete in one of ten semifinal competitions hosted around the world.
Each semifinal will host 30 men's individual and 30 women's individual for a total of 300 athletes in each division.
