As our box introduced level testing and a competitor class, we now have a better definition and targets for our training. More importantly, we know what Level 1, 2 and 3 fitness actually looks like. At least for our gym.
The competitor class will be for Level 3 athletes only, but for now all L2’s are allowed.
It is to motivate us (L2’s) to step up. So we will. After a few months only those who pass the L3 (Red Band) test can stay in this team. It is strangely motivating and scary at the same time.
The Red Band standards are as follows, with my target maxes for each movement.
I have to finish each split within those timecaps to have a shot at the band.
