The June Monthly Challenge will go by quickly, but it will be intense. It is comprised of 10-1 Cousins (M – 35#/F – 20# MBs) and 1-10 Power Clean (M-115#/F- 65#) for time. For clarity, the Challenge will look like 10 Cousins immediately followed by 1 Power Clean, then 9 Cousins immediately followed by 2 Power Cleans…..all the way down to 1 Cousin followed by 10 Power Cleans. Since it involves total body, compound movements, be careful and enjoy. This one will expose many weaknesses/imbalances.
May’s Monthly Challenge was 100 burpee pull-ups for time. The burpee pull-up tests many parts of your body and exposes many weaknesses. The burpee pull-up is a total body exercise that is a plyometric, cardiovascular, and calisthenics exercise. However, it targets the quads, the chest, traps, shoulders, biceps, forearms, abs, calves, triceps, middle back, lower back, glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, and outer things. Many of our athletes tried it at the beginning of the month, worked on the movement during the month, and then re-took the challenge towards the later part of the month.
The winners for the May Monthly Challenge were Gretchen with a time of 10:08 minutes and Mike Frank with a time of 12:23 minutes. Great job!
Good luck on June’s Monthly Challenge, and please give me feedback!
