On to The Deadlift Challenge . . . .

It is "Determination Versus The Bar" in
The CrossFit Love Deadlift Challenge.
50 Reps at 225 lbs for the men and 135 lbs for the ladies.

Before we get into the rules, I want to talk about a little gym in Jersey doing big things. Steve's Club is a non profit group that runs in Camden, NJ. I look at Steve's Club as approaching life the right way especially when it comes to changing Camden. Steve Liberati, the gym's owner, takes a grassroot approach to change. When tax money is typically spent on increased police force, creating new laws, and adding prisons. Steve is trying to change the culture through the youth's prospective. He practices and speaks the value of proper nutrition, supplies mentoring, and dishes out life lessons. By working hard in the weight room, the young athletes see achievement which breeds confidence and successes.
Check out Steve's Club commercial below and give them your support:

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climbs, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, , flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or Six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports . - - Coach Greg Glassman, Crossfit Founder.
