Last night Ben and Dave came prepared and ready for battle.  They were actually going to request to do the 100 Burpee Challenge!  That never happens.  There is always weeping and gnashing of teeth when I tell people to do the Burpee Challenge.  I had given Ben a small hint that it might be in store for them earlier in the day, and they both came hungry.  Their new PRs also reflect it.

Ben – 8:42  (down from 12:41)

Davage – 9:19  (down from 50 burpees in 14 and some change!)

9/25/11 Davage New PR – 8:44!!  It’s gonna be close next time they face off!

Congratulations, guys!  I’m really proud!  Now you’re both in the sub 10 minute category.  Quite remarkable considering that you’re both well above six feet tall!  Next time you do the challenge will be the toughest yet…

Meanwhile, Melissa destroyed a ridiculously tough leg and cardio workout.  (My way of giving her upper body a break!)

15 Straight Leg DL

15 Jump Squats

1 Suicide

5 rounds with no rest = BRUTAL

Matt chose to do weightlifting, as most 15 year olds typically like to do.  He wanting to max out on Back Squats (170 lb), Hang Cleans (130 lb), and Bench (160 lb).  Awesome for being at 140 lb bodyweight and rarely doing lifting, as we normally stick with bodyweight exercises.
