JBER way to put up some great Murph times last month. For this month we are going to challenge you with a simple piece of equipment that is so versatile: the sandbag. Please see below for the workout.
At EFC/H5 we recommend you weigh your sandbag as customers move the filler bags around but in general Red=25lbs, Blue=50lbs, Green=75lb, Black=100lbs.
As you work through this month's challenge, even if it takes multiple attempts remember these words from Michael Jordan “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
