Kevin’s Challenge

I have heard a lot of complaining about one’s knees and how their legs really hurt so I figured it was just time to really work out their upper body so that it could catch up with their legs. In today’s challenge there were four disciplines, Olympic Bench, Bicep Curls with Dumbbells, Triceps cable pull downs, and Bend over rows. Each person had to do each station for 2 minutes. The men had to lift 135 pounds on the Olympic bench and the women 65 pounds. On the Bicep curls the men had to curl 20 pounds and the women 10 pounds. On the cable pull downs the men had to use 60 pounds and the women 40 pounds. Finally on the bend over rows the men used 95 pounds and the women 65 pounds. The winners were, Vic with 44 reps on the Olympic Bench and Mary for the women with 38 reps. In the bicep curls it was Richard with 77 reps and Krista with 60 reps. In the pull downs it was Steve with 102 reps and Debbie with 90 reps. Finally in the Bend over rows it was Steve again with 101 reps and Mary also with 66 reps. In the overall reps challenge Steve won with a total of 305 reps for total in all categories. Please look below for all of the results.
