Invictus Boston Summer Throwdown 2023

The Invictus Boston Summer Throwdown is a 3 week Open-style competition available only to active Boston area members. Each week will have a new workout announced on Thursday and programmed for class on Friday. There will be three divisions, Open, Scaled, and Masters, with a final event in September for the top finishers in each category.

Standards For RX and Masters Athletes:

All Rx athletes should be able to perform the following movements with proficiency:

Toes To Bar
Double Unders & Crossover Singles
C2B Pull-Ups
Wallballs (20/14#)
Handle a barbell 155#/105# for most clean movements
Handle a dumbbell for basic movements 50/35#

The Scaled Division:

The scaled division will include no advanced movements or heavy barbells. All movements featured in the scaled division can be performed by members who regularly attend classes.

The Masters Division:

The masters division is for all members 40+ who can regularly complete class workouts at the Rx weight and movements. Masters 50+ will compete in the same division, but receive scaling on weights and movements similar to the Open. Masters who wish to participate in the scaled division will participate with all ages.

Should I do Rx or scaled?

If you can perform most class workouts programmed at the Rx weights and movements, you are a strong candidate for Rx. 
If you can perform 60-70% of class workouts at the Rx weights and movements, you should strongly consider competing in the Rx division. 
If you typically scale the class workouts, the scaled division is a good option for you.
If you are new to Invictus Boston or are hesitant to compete in the Rx division, the scaled division is a great option for you.
