SOB, Stonehenge Co-Site Q
LOL Was just at the school talking with a fitness lady who had just finished training others , told her about F3 and said this would be a great location for a workout. Did not know. Will try to attend. Bench press needs a specific % tied to each body weight.KB needs similar scale. Looks like fun!
Hope you can make it, Bolt. We’re not varying the bench and KB weight with body weight. If we did, the “runners” would have a tremendous advantage for the overall championship. Similarly, we’re not handicapping the soccer-armed guys for the mile. The goal is to keep it as balanced as possible. Certain people will excel at the strength events, some at the pure running events, and some at the other misc events. Whoever is most well rounded will walk away champ.
