🔥 EVENT 1 “THE CALL” 🔥

No easing into the day on this one. The second the clock starts, it’s time to move.

“The Call” is built to test pacing, communication, and how well teams can manage fatigue under pressure. The ski will elevate the heart rate fast, the cleans will challenge your composure, and the wall balls will expose teams that come out too aggressive.

This is a true team workout. One athlete works at a time, so smooth transitions and smart strategy are going to matter just as much as fitness.

Weights and division standards will be posted in the comments. 👀🔥

EVENT 2 IS LIVE. 🔥

“LAST BAR STANDING”

Teams will battle through a 10-bar deadlift ladder with one minute at each bar to complete the lift and move on. Teams may attempt the lift as many times as they want within the minute, but once time expires, they either advance… or they’re done.

When teams reach their final successful bar, they’ll use the remaining time at that weight to complete as many reps as possible for extra points.

The weight keeps climbing. The pressure keeps building. And by the final bars, ex*****on matters just as much as strength.

This one is going to get LOUD. 👀🔥

05/16/2026

This one is different.

Show up for more than you.

More than the workout.
More than the leaderboard.
More than the finish time.

Show up for something that actually matters.

Grab your partner. Let’s go.
