September Monthly Challenge

September Monthly Challenge — This month’s challenge is a fun one, but incredibly challenging. It’s a lot of volume, and involves some Olympic lifts. There is a challenge for coaches and another for our elite athletes. Pick which one is right for you and get after it! This is one that you will want to do early in the month, mid-month, and later in the month; you will see improvement throughout the month.

The August Monthly Challenge – The August Monthly challenge was a fun one, using a piece of new equipment at the gym. It was doing as many laps on the new peg board as possible without touching feet on the ground. The ground rules were:

  • The athlete had to start on the third set of holes from the bottom with both pegs 
  • The athlete had to hit the top to holes with both pegs
  • If the athlete can’t do a lap she/he had to hang for time and hands need to be below your head (45sec = 1 lap)

The winners of the Pat’s Gym August Monthly Challenge were Chuck Mckain with just over three laps, and Annie Hughes with over two laps. Great job!
