🏆 Fitness, Intermediate & Advanced Divisions
📍 Chalk, 6 Dromore Road Retail Park, BT78 1RE
You can check out the event details and all workouts released so far below.
EVENT 1 — ALL DIVISIONS
"CALCULATED RISK"
AMRAP 12:
Athlete 1:
Max Calorie Echo Bike
Athlete 2:
5 Hang Power Cleans
4 Front Squats
3 Shoulder-to-Overhead
Switch after every completed barbell complex.
Score 1: Total Echo Bike Calories
Score 2: Total Barbell Tonnage
There are no prescribed barbell weights. Instead, each athlete chooses their own load before the workout begins, with every successful rep contributing towards the team's total tonnage.
That means there's plenty of strategy involved. A heavier bar makes every rep more valuable, but may reduce how quickly you can work through the complexes. A lighter bar lets you move faster, but contributes less towards your tonnage score.
