A Strength Challenge This Winter...


City Gym,were I am based, this winter are having a strength challenge, Personally I really endorse this spirit of competition, giving your average gym goer something to compete for,and to help them achieve better one rep max's and personal bests!

The Movements and exercises are as follows....

Dead lift: Movement must be lifted from the floor,maximum weight for single rep. No straps allowed,chalk optional. Parallel position (90 degree angle in starting position.)

Seated Shoulder Press: Performed on an upright bench with the back against seat,the bar should be taken from an overhead position and lowered to chin level and pressed to FULL extension (elbows locked out.)

Weighted Chin Up: Pull up should be performed from a full hanging position,bringing the chin above the bar at the top.as much weight as possible attached at the hips with chained weight belt. 

Bench Press: The Bar should be taken down until it lightly touches the chest and pressed to FULL extension (elbows locked out.)
All lifts do not need to be done on the same day and can be done on separate days.

Feel free to pop in and give it a go,anyone welcome from all fitness levels,

With the no wrestling shows over the holidays,a winter break so to speak, I will be definitely be taking part in this,question is...will you?


Until later,Train Hard,Think Strong...
