Building Better Humans

A Challenge…Better Humans: Chapter 3

By

First, I want to start off by saying sorry to all my email subscribers. I upgraded my site to a new and faster service…which is awesome, but unfortunately this confused my email subscription service (not happy with them at the moment) and you probably got spammed with about 10 emails yesterday.

I apologize.

End of Three Fitness is growing so these changes are 100% necessary to keep up, but I’ll be the first to admit…I am not the best with code and the backend of a websites…

I know more about fitness and barbells. Despite the members we lost yesterday due to, what I’ll call, “inbox frustrations”, the revolution must go on! So we will press on with a new 6-week challenge!!

This will be the third 6-week challenge at End of Three Fitness, so I have decided to call it “Better Humans: Chapter 3”.

For anyone new to the challenges or new to End of Three Fitness, here is how it works: 

  • Challenges run for 6-weeks

  • Works are posted eveyday (except Thursday and Sunday) at EndofThreeFit.com

That’s about all you need to know to get started.

Better Humans: Chapter 3, The Challenge 

I took a quick poll from the regular gang at End of Three Fit and it looks like everyone wants to get better at everything, with an emphasis on strength…so let’s do it!!

Our baseline is pretty simple, and if you have been following End of Three Fit pretty regularly, you have done both of these workouts recently. So either use your most recent numbers or do these two workouts:

Better Humans: Chapter 3 – The Baseline

“CrossFit Total”

  • Back squat, 1 rep
  • Shoulder Press, 1 rep
  • Deadlift, 1 rep

Add all numbers together for you “total”

Example: 225 lb max back squat + 150 lb max shoulder press + 300 lb max deadlift = 675 lb total

Rest for a long period (20 min minimum)

Then…

Three rounds for time:

  • Run 400 meters
  • 1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
  • 12 Pull-ups

But Wait! There’s More: AnywhereFit Saturdays

    Every Saturday of this challenge is meant to be outside, because depending on where you live, the weather should be getting nicer. Also, you gotta get outside the confines of your gym or garage gym and apply your fitness. 

    This means that Saturdays will be primarily bodyweight and skill work. So have fun, go out to a park, fire up the grill invite friends or family and get your workout done in the process. 

    AnywhereFit Saturdays!! 

    Will you take the challenge??

    Shorter than normal post today, because all I really want is for you to TAKE the challenge! If you are bored, hop out of your inbox and come check out the site, EndofThreeFitness.com, it may not look that different, but A LOT has changed behind the scenes. 

    New site changes include

    • FASTER website, thus less time waiting for DIY posts to load 🙂 
    • SAFER website, near impenetrable security…keeps us all safe. 
    • COOLER website, integrated Eo3 Store with an overall cleaner look and feel.

    And the revolution grows stronger!
