The "AR September Open Gym Challenge"
We have a heck of a Sweaty Saturday Partner Special on tap for you this weekend, and then Sunday presents itself as the first opportunity to attack the newest "Open Gym Challenge" for September.
Here's the "Arena Ready September Open Gym Challenge" for all you insatiable exercisers (this one has some interesting strategy elements built-in to the workout):
With a Partner Against a 12-Minute Clock For MAX POUNDS LIFTED:
100 Burpee Box Jump Overs @ 24/20 in (facing the box is required)
Max Deadlifts @ pick load
Partners must use ONE barbell (i.e. the same weight).
Only one person working at a time, switch whenever you like (reps do not have to be split evenly).
Your score is the total poundage lifted (reps x weight chosen).
Once again, the rules are simple:
1) Workout must be completed during Open Gym on Sunday.
2) Someone else other than you and your partner vouches for your score LOL (sorta kidding, I trust all of you).
On Sunday, September 30th, yours truly and a strategically chosen partner will attempt to beat the highest score -- and if we can't succeed that team gets bragging rights and an exciting prize pack valued at over 1,000 Philippine Pisos.
Come on now! Surely you can beat a 40-year-old curmudgeon and his partner who will carry him through the WOD!?
WOD For 09-08-18:
With a Partner, Against a 22-Minute Clock:
BUY-IN: 1200m Run TOGETHER
... then, in the remaining time AMRAP of...
100 Wall Balls @ 20/14 lbs to 10/9 ft
50 Power Snatches @ 115/80 lbs
50 Lateral Bar Burpees
One person working at a time during the AMRAP, switch whenever you like (reps do not have to be split evenly). The first athlete back in the gym from the run can start on the Wall Balls immediately.
Can your team get to 2 rounds (or more)?
