Push/Pull Challenge Finals Saturday

July 27, 2016 | By

Five weeks ago a number of DEUCE Gym students embarked on a journey to up their game with a partner. The Push/Pull Partner Challenge sought to do several things:

  1. Improve Pull Up Skill/Capacity
  2. Improve General Fitness
  3. Provide Specific Context for Training
  4. Offer a Chance to Compete

This Saturday at 10AM we will find out which teams of two have improved the most with the challenge finals. Not only will these folks stand tall on the podium as champions, they will have cold hard cash in hand to show for it.

Whether you’re competing or not, come out and support the improvement. We’ve seen major gains in both strength and pull up skill. Who will win?

Time will tell!
