I wanted to let everyone know about the Tactical Strength Challenge coming up this September. The TSC is an open challenge held worldwide bianually, originally developed by Pavel Tsatsouline. It consists of three events:

1RM Deadlift (three attempts)
Max strict pullups (neck to bar)
Max KB snatches in 5:00

Here’s the website for more details.

This year competitions are being held on the 26th both in San Francisco and Palo Alto. I know I’m going to be competing, and I encourage everyone who is able to get out there and represent CrossFit!

Addendum: “The TSC does not charge an entry fee…There is no organization to join and therefore no membership fee.  No uniform or gear is required. Just show up and lift.”
