Friday THoughts 137

July Challenge

First need to talk about the June Challenge. We had 20 people take it on, which far exceeds the norm. Among our normal challenge takers, a bunch of first timers went for it to. This combination of the sled and bench is fun and taxing. I look forward to revisiting it again next year.

JULY CHALLENGE
For time:
20 Zercher Squats @ 95/65
30 cal rower
450m farmer’s carry @ 53s/35s
*carry is 4x down + back across the parking lot perpendicular to the building

I wanted to do something with a long carry. I played around with a couple different options and decided to head outside and utilize our truck-free parking lot. The Zercher squats aren’t hard, and you’ll be incentivized to just get it done. Same with the rower.

I did the challenge last and it’s a good one. My goal was to make it 4 laps without putting the kettlebells down, and I made it. I’m looking forward to seeing you all take it on.

Final Thoughts

That’s all I’ve got today. I need to get into the garage for Hannah’s max out deadlift day. Stay cool today and Happy Fourth!
