Event 4: Double Front Squat Max Reps in 5 min

Event 4 of the Holiday Hardstyle Pentathlon Challenge is a Double Front Squat - Maximum Reps in 5 minutes! Men must use 2x24kg kettlebells and women must use 2x16kg kettlebells. Complete as many reps as possible in the 5 minute time limit without setting the bells down. You must fully lock out your quads at the top of each repetition. Your hip crease must hit parallel with the knee line on every repetition (use a med ball or equivalent to ensure you are hitting correct depth). 

Score = Volume / Bodyweight 

e.g. If you hit 100 reps at 2x16kg and you weight 85kg, score = (100 x 32kg)/85kg = 37.6. 

This score will then be compared to the scores of other lifters, and you will get a number of points that will be determined by the number of competitors. For example, if 80 people participated and you got the top score, you will receive 80 points. If you placed second, you will receive 79 points... etc. At the end of the challenge, your points from all 5 events will be added together to give you an overall number of points, which will be used to determine the Ultimate Hardstyle Athletes, who are the grand prize winners. 

To submit your score: Complete the challenge and post a video on Instagram or Facebook along with your bodyweight and the number of repetitions you completed in 5 minutes, then tag me @kbfitbritt in your post. You can attempt as many times as you like during the week, but once you submit your attempt by tagging me, that is the score I will record. I will only accept scores that are submitted before the release of the next challenge (December 24 - 11:59pm on December 30).

There will be one male and one female GRAND PRIZE winner, who will be crowned the Ultimate Hardstyle Athletes of my holiday challenge. Grand prize winners will receive a kettlebell of their choice from Kettlebell Kings, goodies from VIKN Performance, and a personal training session with me (online or in person)! You MUST be subscribed to my mailing list to win - so your chances of winning are already higher if you're receiving this email. ;) 

The next challenge will be released on Monday, December 31.
