Sam L. 15 Foot No-Feet Rope Climb
Here is a nice contrast to yesterday's brute strength effort. Sam L. uses speed, strength, power and coordination to control his own bodyweight. This is one of the CrossFit Level 3 (advanced athlete) benchmarks. Actually it is five feet more, but we don't have a rope that high, so we will call it close enough. Sam is right at the cusp of, or able to do, many of the level 3 benchmarks. He has put 2 years of honest effort into CrossFit, and since it is said to be a 3-5 year journey of daily, consistent effort to achieve at least some of the Level 4 (elite athlete) benchmarks, he is right where he should be. Nice.
