Training Room's first Lift off of the year saw 12 teams of 2 males plus 1 female compete, with Training Room members finishing on top of the podium, followed by Plato o Plomo (The Pit) in 2nd place, and Team 356 (CrossFit 356) in 3rd.

The Lift Off was first organised in 2023, where the traditional weightlifting set up was used. This year, however, it was organised a bit differently. With 4 active platforms per heat, each lifter had 30s to complete their snatch attempt with 15s transition time between each lifter. They had 3 rounds of both snatch and clean and jerk, with the sinclair points corresponding to the sum of their best snatch and their best clean and jerk being the final result.

​

2 Girls 1 Cub, a team made up of Training Room members Anton Micallef, Shaun Ciantar and Alana Muscat won 1st place with 771.3 points. Shaun Ciantar , who also had the best results from the male category overall, finished with 114kg snatch and 146kg clean and jerk. Anton finished with 112kg snatch and 135kg clean and jerk, and Alana finished with PRs across the board with 65kg snatch and 80kg clean and jerk.

​

They were followed by Plato o Plomo (762.21points), a team from The Pit made up of Daryl Borg, Andrew Navarro and Kelsey Spiteri. Kelsey finished with the best result from the female lifters by lifting 70kg snatch and 83kg clean and jerk weighing 58.8kg. Daryl Borg lifted 100kg snatch and 125kg clean and jerk, while Andrew lifted 96kg snatch and 121kg clean and jerk. 

Team 356 from CrossFit 356 finished in 3rd place with 705.89 points. The team was made up of Kyle Micallef, Javier Pastoriza and Paula Grech. Javier finished with a PR snatch of 102kg snatch and 125kg clean and jerk. Kyle finished with 90kg snatch and 115kg clean and jerk, while Paula finished with 51kg snatch and 78kg clean and jerk.

​

Other Training Room lifters Kyle Stone, Stephen Garcia, Darren Bowd, Corey Leighton, William Grima, Federico Judais, Chayenne Muscat and Monique Gatt also managed great results.
