ABOUT "JINGLE BARBELLS"

​

"Jingle Barbells" is an hour long competition featuring back to back to back to back to back workouts of 12 minutes.  At first glance, this may seem a little overwhelming-But hold on!  The teams will consist of 4 members, 2 male, 2 female, sharing the load along the way!  THIS IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL EVENT! We are reaching out to Rx, intermediate, and scaled athletes looking to put their hobbies to the test!  (Check the Division Standards below to see where you fall)

​

The 04 decided to have co-ed teams of 4 for two reasons:

​

1) First of all, in the spirit of the holidays, we wanted to spot-light the importance of friends and family. Mixed gender teams of 4 sharing in the fun and building community is a perfect way to make this happen!

​

2) We want Jingle Barbells to appeal to those who may be a little timid or who may be first-timers.  Working as a large team can ease the anxiety and allow new comers to see that competitions are actually fun.  They are a great way to challenge one's self.  

Jingle Barbells will take place on the grounds of 04 Strength located at 1529 Junction hwy. There will be 5 diverse and creative workout pads.  Teams will move from pad to pad throughout the hour.  Each station will consist of a workout for time or reps or both to be completed in a 12 minute window.  The 12 minute stations will be back to back. The clock will NOT stop for transitions/rest, however not every workout will last the entire 12 minutes as to allow for smooth transitions from station to station.    

​

There will be 2 heats of 5 teams in every division.  Heat 1 will have warm up time on the barbell pad 15 minutes before the start of that heat at the top of the hour (ie. 8:00, 10:00, or 12:00).  Heat 2 will have 15 minutes on the same pad before its heat, which will begin 24 minutes after the hour.  Heat 2 will follow heat 1 through the stations but will be 2 events behind as to avoid any interference or any extra strategy from observing the group in front. Once both heats in a division have completed all 5 stations, the scores will be tabulated and the winners announced immediately following.  The next division will then begin and follow the same pattern.  See the Schedule of Events section below.
