Saturday June 14, 2008
Challenge Yourself!!
The Barn of Truth Dojo and The Fight Farm will team up to host the Shingitai Warrior Games on Saturday June 14, 2008 in Perrysville, Ohio.
In the past we had many Shingitai Pentathlons, a similar event but limited to 5 exercises, and these were just for our own dojo. Now we are inviting Shingitai members and all fitness enthusiasts to participate in this challenging and fun event!
These are the events that will be contested:
- Pull Ups (Reverse Grip- Palms facing away). This is a test of upper body muscular strength and endurance.
- Standing Long Jump (Best of 5 attempts) This is a test of lower-body speed-strength and explosiveness.
- Push Press Medicine Ball Toss (with 40 lb medicine ball) (Best of 5 attempts) This is a test of explosive strength.
- Underhand Medicine Ball Toss (with 40 lb medicine ball) This is a test of muscular endurance. This event consists of throwing the medicine ball past a predetermined line, running out and picking up the ball and throwing it back across the starting line, and so on. Do as many repetitions as you can in 2 minutes.
- Incline Sit Ups (Maximum number of reps) This is a test of abdominal strength and muscular endurance.
- Kettlebell Farmer’s Walk (with 2 x 32 kg (70lb) Kettlebells) This is a test of overall endurance, strength, and grip strength. (Women’s categories will use 2 x 24 Kg Kettlebells)
Winners will be determined by the highest combined total point value of all the events.
