6 AM Endurance. As most of you know the computers have been a little "Possessed" for the past week or so. The box is aware of the problem and we are working to resolve the issue in a timely manner. Tomorrow we will be doing the Crossfit Total. Please look at your past score before you come to class so you will know your PRs for the back squat, strict press and deadlift. This will save you a bunch of time and a big headache. See you in the morning. Scott
