RAINHILL TRIALS & BULLETPROOFBODIES - November 2017

                   

The Rainhill Trials at Sport City in Manchester has become the home for your 

first CrossFit Competition.

The event is run by TRAIN Manchester who have three boxes in the Manchester area:

Train 1 - Castleford

Train 2 – Media City

Train 3 – Heald Green

The Saturday is more for those that are new to competition.

The Sunday is for those who are more competent at CrossFit.

Although the Workouts are very similar there is a big difference between doing Chest to bar pull ups or normal kipping pull ups. 

The same with Toes to Bar and Ab Mat sit ups. 

However, what this does is allow athletes to scale when there is a movement that they can no longer do. Or, could not do in the first place.

Competition will always bring out the best in us. But it will also expose our weaknesses.

As always there are injuries at the weekend. However, as usual these injuries are acute, mild and minor, responding well to Physiotherapy and Rocktape UK were there to scrape and tape as part of the athlete services.

This weekend’s Injuries included:

•      Hand tape x 12

•      Shoulder x 8

•      Wrist  x 5

•      Low Back x 4

•      Knee x 4

•      Calf x 3

•      Biceps x 2

•      Cervical Spine x 1

•      Trapezius Tear x 1

•      Shin splints x 1

•      Ankle x 1

It was great to see Tom Blay from Reebok CrossFit 3D competing. 

He is a machine and my Coach!

An amazing weekend of CrossFit.

Well done to all competitors and for TRAIN for there superb organisation.

The Bulletproofbodies team salute you.
