  • Pull-ups are required all the way to the chest. This means you must touch your chest on the bar with each repetition.
  • Overhead presses must be completed to full range of motion, over the shoulders, allowing the ears to be visible from side profile view at the top of the movement, in full extension
  • Burpees must include an air born clap,  with wide open hips.

Below are some helpful resources for CrossFit junkies to review:
