SHAWN RAMIREZ
Shawn Ramirez sits in first place in the Masters 40 – 44 division after a second place finish in the California Club and a first in Adios Amigos events. The ‘Ram’ is the favourite to win and his solid performances so far show that he has his eyes once again set on first place.

ADIOS AMIGOS
Adios Amigos is an interesting event because as the weight on the Barbell for the Snatches increases, the Muscle Ups decrease. It is guaranteed to test your technique under pressure and fatigue.
