🚨 You opened the video… so unfortunately, the rules are the rules 😂

lucky for you (for now) Coach Josh didn’t have his best performance when this video was taken..

From here on out we will do one challenge per week until the golf tournament on October 9th! If a coach completes the challenge - you have two options:

💵 Donate at least $1 to Wolfpack Athletics
⛳ Put together a team and join us for the Wolfpack Athletics Golf Tournament on October 9th!

If the coach does not complete the challenge - He/She will personally donate $30 to Wolfpack Athletics.

Every dollar helps support our athletes and program — and yes, we’re absolutely willing to embarrass ourselves a little bit to raise some money 😂

We have some ideas for the next challenge, but we want to hear from you - who should we challenge next??

Tag somebody below who needs to step up!

The before-and-after results for the Summer Intro to Strength Program are here!

We started on June 2nd and finished on July 31st. Every 5-rep max shown was required to be completed with a form score of at least 4 out of 5. So if they went heavier on day one but lost form, they could not record those numbers.

Beckham, Landon and Liam completed our Intro to Strength summer program, lifting twice per week with an emphasis on major compound lifts.

The goal of this program was to teach proper core bracing, breathwork and muscle engagement for each lift—helping the athletes move more efficiently, build strength safely and gain confidence in the weight room before moving on to high school.

Adding weight is great, but learning to move safely and correctly will always come first. Great work, boys! Stay tuned for the winner of the Summer 60 Challenge to be announced.

If you are interested in individual training or more programs like this one, DM us or reach out to [email protected].

In case you missed it over the weekend, JJ Bleday made history and HIT FOR THE CYCLE in his first 4 at bats of the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Pretty cool moment for a guy who used our facility for some training last offseason! We feel very blessed and humbled to get to meet athletes playing at the highest level.

Congrats, JJ! 👏
