Grid is a fast-paced, team-based competition that, while resembling competitions like the CrossFit Games or Regionals,  is heavily skewed toward speed and power (no races are longer than 6 minutes each).

• 40 Deadlift at 305 lb
• 40 Chest-to-bar pull-up
• 4 Rope Climbs
• 40 Ground-to-overhead at 165
