Week 4 Challenge - 6 Aug - 12 Aug

LYNNE

5 rds of:

BODYWEIGHT BENCH PRESS - (Rep to failure each rd)
PULL UPS - (Rep to failure each rd)

Count your reps for the score. Don't forget to post your name/sex/age/weight

Here is a nice simple challenge for this week. Simply put your equivalent weight on a bench press station, line up the pull up bar and go for it. Do each exercise one after the other and rest for as long as it takes to recover after the Pull ups.

Finally I would just like to congratulate ADAM WILES on winning the 3 months free membership for last weeks challenge. WELL DONE!!
