In Person Workout #4 Announced - GHD, Pistols, Rope Climb



Shoutout to all the athlete's that hit the Online Portion workouts this weekend and have already submitted their score! Also, special shoutout to the athletes that have been making it easy for us to review the videos by putting everything in frame nicely doing great form. Just as a reminder, this is a competition in which we expect movements be performed to the standards. If you have any issues that prevent you from performing the standard, or questions on how a movement should be performed, it is best to reach out in advance rather than be penalized afterward. Athletes and Teams, you have until 5pm this Thursday, November 18th to submit your score. But, please submit your scores early if all possible to avoid any issues that can arise. The leaderboard is "blind" until after the window closes, so don't be concerned as nobody will see your score. If you are on a team, only the Team Captain can submit the score. Ensure you are logged in and submit your score HERE.


In other news, we are working on the athlete's email which will cover general timeline, parking, do's and don'ts onsite, and other helpful information to help the weekend run smooth. Specific heat times for each athlete/team won't get posted until Wednesday or Thursday, but the general timeline should be very helpful. If you have a question you need to know in advance, don't hesitate to reach out to info@turkeychallenge.com and we will do our best to help you.


While we're waiting on scores to come in and reviewing videos, we figured we'd post the first workout of the in-person portion...This is workout 1 of 4 for the in-person portion this weekend. The remaining workouts will be released in the coming days.

12 Synchro GHD Sit-ups

Part B:

Synchro Row


WORKOUT FLOW

On the call of 3, 2, 1, - GO! Athletes will begin on the two parts of the workout; the synchro row, and the triplet AMRAP. For the row, two athletes will be required to row at the same time, holding a handle that pulls two rowers side by side. For the triplet, the other pair of athletes will begin on the synchro GHD sit-ups. Once completed, they will move to Alternating synchro pistols or weighted lunges, then to the shared reps of rope climbs. Athletes can switch out at any point and in any combination they wish. At the end of 12 minutes, there will be two scores - max calories (as measured by lowest reading rower) and total reps completed in the triplet.


MOVEMENT STANDARDS

Synchro GHD Sit-ups - This movement will require athletes utilizing Rogue GHD’s side by side. The movement begins with the athletes “sitting back”, extending both hands overhead, and touching either the floor or box in unison. Then, they will return to the upright position and both hands will touch the footrest in unison for the rep to count.


Synchro alternating pistols - This movement begins with the athletes standing. They will lift one foot forward and squat simultaneously with one leg down to where the crease of the hip is below the top of the knee. They will then return to the standing position before touching the lifted leg to the floor. The lifted leg must extend forward, can be held by the free hands, and cannot touch the ground until the athlete returns to standing. A rep must be completed by both athletes on the leg before moving to the other side.


Synchro alternating in-place lunges - This movement begins with the athletes standing and holding a KB at the chest in a "goblet" hold. They will lunge simultaneously backward (reverse lunges) to touch the lower knee to the ground or a pad, then return to standing for each rep.


Rope climbs - This movement begins with the athletes standing with both feet on the ground at the bottom of the rope. The athletes may utilize a jump to grab the rope at a higher spot, then will climb the rope and touch the 12’ bar suspending the rope. They will then lower safely to the ground. The athletes may split the reps however they wish with only one athlete climbing at a time.


Synchro Row - Two rowers will be placed side by side with a single 6’ weighted handle replacing the handle of the two rowers. Athletes will need to row in unison in order to be most effective. The score will be for calories and the lowest scoring rower will be used at the end of the 12 minutes.
