Divisions for Girls Gone Rx

Here is a quick description to help you determine what division to register for. The movements listed in the descriptions are just examples and not limited to just those movements. 

  • RX Division :: Your team performs daily WODs without scaling or modifying. You can efficiently do movements like pull-ups, double unders, & handstand pushups. You are confident with a barbell and can do full Squat Snatches and/or full Squat Clean at or above 95lbs.

  • Bam Division (Badass In the Making) :: Athletes that are new to the competition scene or beginners. Needs to do modifications in most WODs, new to olympic lifting, and newer to functional fitness. Typically, this would be your first or possibly second competition.
