This week is from Paul Fern, who finished the last challenge but was not able to do this one. He couldn't come up with a workout that he felt "was going to be hard enough" for our challenge, so I'll do it for him.
Max-Out!
Find your max reps/weights in each of the following exercises:
Pull-ups without letting go of the bar
Push ups in 2 minutes without knees touching the floor
Sit ups in 2 minutes
Bench Press (if you have a spotters!)
Deadlift
Squat
Overhead Press
Double unders in a minute
1600M run
Here's the deal this week: You can do these exercises split up any way you want. I kinda plan on doing them over several days. For the super-observant, I put the CrossFit Total in there (DL, Squat, Press), along with the strength portions of the Army PT test :P, so it might make sense to divide those two up into separate days.
I just wanna see my bench press max right now, so I put that in there, make sure you have spotters for that one! Plus, I expect to see Darcy turning in sub 4:00 miles this summer, so that's in there too.
Remember, good form is the most important thing, don't get hurt!
Here's a video of what I expect to see!
Good Luck!
