In order to honor the sacrifice of those who lost their lives on that horrific day as well as the War on Terror we are asking everyone to come together and throw down on an EPIC WOD and compete across the country as Boxes to raise the most money.

Police Memorial Week 5/08-5/15/11
May 8-15, 2011
From Trinity Training Group: This challenge has been dubbed “the 75-by-75” because it’s just that: 75 pounds lifted 75 times. From ground to overhead anyhow (shortened G2OA). Some participants use technical barbell movements such as the clean-and-jerk or power snatch. Others just muscle the weight up “anyhow.” Most use a mixture of different techniques, movements, and grips until 75 reps are completed. Regardless, it’s a true challenge that puts demands on all muscle groups and the cardio-respiratory system too.
CrossFit Amplify encourages local officers to stop in at our location to participate in the 75×75 memorial workout Monday, May 9 through Friday, May 13th during our regular business hours. We will record and submit your results for you.
