Workout 1 of the 4 Week Workout Series kicked off today and with that comes the announcement of workout number 2. Check it out here...

WORKOUT 2 - MAX REPS ON BENCH PRESS

Complete 5 sets of bench press with strictly 2 minutes rest between sets. The weight will be 50% of body weight for women & 75% of body weight for men rounded to the nearest 2.5kg increment. Your score is the total number of accumulated reps achieved from all 5 sets. The bar must touch the chest & both elbows must lock out for a rep to count. There is no time limit on the set. 

HOW ARE OVERALL SCORES CALCULATED FOR THE 4 WEEK WORKOUT SERIES

At the end of the week when everyone has completed the workout your place will become your score ie 1 point for 1st place, 2 points for 2nd place, 3 points for 3rd place and so on. Tied scores will receive the same place, missed workouts will be scored 0 and placing last (highest place). At the end of the 4 weeks your 4 scores for each of the 4 workouts will be added together to get your overall score. The lowest score wins.
