This is for those of you who don’t believe that CrossFit builds strength. The city that CrossFit Brand X is located only has a population of 33,000 people.  So, having this many athletes from such a small pool is phenomenal.  You cannot say that anyone can do this.  They obvious have something amazing going for them.
“CrossFit Athletes—half of them teenagers—from CrossFit Brand X head to their first powerlifting meet and almost all come home with first-place medals.
Twelve competitors.
Nearly all at their first powerlifting meet.
Eleven first-place medals.
Twenty-eight state records broken.
All CrossFitters.
‘It obviously shows we’re good at what we do,’ said 15-year-old Cole Dick, one of the 12 from CrossFit Brand X who competed in the Feb. 19 USA Powerlifting California State Powerlifting and Bench Press Championships in Santa Clarita, Calif.”
