This month challenge is a GROUP CHALLENGE! We are going to collect 10.000 minutes of deep squat sit hold.

Here are some rules:
• Air squats only, below parallel
• Set yourself a time you are going to do the challenge and stick to it! If you come out of the squat before the min are over they don't count!
• Half minutes don't count
• Only squatting in the box counts
• No help from others or walls or anything

More importantly...What can you win as a group??
If the 10.000 minutes are done we (the box owners) will organize a NEW YEAR BORREL with free drinks for everybody ;)

From November onwards Ramon Walthie will be able to help you with the following:
• Lose some or even lots of weight?

THE NOVEMBER CHALLENGE.. ratata ratata..

Ok we already had this movement in a challenge but we see you all need a bit more practice and do more STRICT work!!

The challenge = As many STRICT Pull ups in 1 MONTH.
What does this mean:

• NO KIPPING, or using any other part of your body except your arms/back to get up.
• Chin above the bar in the top, arms fully extended in the bottom...you know the drill.
• You don't need a judge, we trust you are not a cheater. PLAY FAIR.
• You have the whole month to collect as many strict pull ups as possible, you can do this at any time you are in the box, also strict pullups in a WOD count for your total score.
• Feet off the floor tall guys.
• No bands, no jumping, no low bars.

Have fun with this challenge and be STRICT!!!

SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER CHALLENGE!!!!

It's no longer September so that means NO MORE ROWING ;)))))))))))
A lot of you will be happy it's over!

Let me tell you what happened in September:
More than all the challenges before you guys participated in this challenge, that's GREAT!
Some of you did it more than once and improved their score multiple times, that's GREAT!
Some of you didn't want to do the challenge again after you did it once - Glenn ;)

Best 500m time for the men goes to Leroy Wolters with 1 min. and 24 sec. I think he had to go home after the challenge, he rowed his life out of his lungs....

Best 500m time for the ladies goes to Genevieve with 1min. and 37sec. Rosalie and Marjan tried very hard to get close but failed miserably....

Come and pick up your T-shirt at the box winners!!
