Attention all CrossFit Kingston/Foundry Athletics athletes!!!
Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting Exhibition
Date: Saturday April 13/13
This will be an open event, which means everyone is welcome
to lift regardless of strength level. There will be a men’s and a women’s
division. We will be using a formula, Wilks formula, to determine winners for
men and women in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting categories. The formula
takes into account an individual’s weight.
Here is an example:
Lifter A (200 lbs): Snatch - 180; Clean & Jerk - 235 -- Wilks = 119.684
Squat - 325; Bench - 250; Deadlift - 380 -- Wilks = 275.417
Total = 395.101
Lifter B (165 lbs): Snatch - 165; Clean & Jerk - 210 -- Wilks = 117.382
Squat - 300; Bench - 210; Deadlift - 365 -- Wilks = 283.224
Total = 400.606
Lifter C (120 lbs): Snatch - 120; Clean & Jerk - 180 -- Wilks = 127.410
Squat - 170; Bench - 135; Deadlift - 210 -- Wilks = 218.720
Total = 346.130
As you can see, the lightest lifter would win the Olympic lifting portion of the event but finish 3rd overall. The middle lifter would win the powerlifting portion of the event (and the entire event) even though he/she lifted less total weight than the heavier person.

I signed up to compete but it turns out my macroecon final is the same day. I'd rather be lifting but I gotta do what gotta be done.
We have learned a great deal about recovering from narcotic addiction and have found several methods that work well. This is information drug treatment programs would not want out since it would cause them to lose a large number of patients. Would it be better to start with a blog or a website? We eventually hope to make this into an alternative business that would help people get of methadone clinics. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as there is a dire need for this information. Thank you..

This would have to be a new blog. Something that you want to read about, but havent found online. This can be religious, fashion-based, etc. Im just getting some ideas for the blog i want to start- Thanks!.
