The Gate 14

Welcome to the toughest workout. Ever.

Athletes will attempt to complete 14 rounds before the 14-hour cutoff time. Each round will consist of a 1 mile run followed by 100 reps of increasingly difficult exercises. Successful athletes will complete 14 miles of running and 1400 reps:

Round 1: 1 mile + 100 Air squats
Round 2: 1 mile + 100 Dead stop pushups
Round 3: 1 mile + 100 Dumbbell Goblet Squat (45/30)
Round 4: 1 mile + 100 Dumbbell Snatch (45/30)

Round 7: 1 mile + 100 Dumbbell Goblet Squat (60/45)
Round 8: 1 mile + 100 Dumbbell Snatch (60/45)
Round 9: 1 mile + 100 Barbell Clean & Press (115/75)

Round 13: 1 mile + 100 Barbell Clean & Press (135/95)
Round 14: 1 mile + 100 Barbell Thrusters (135/95)

Not all athletes will be able to complete the workout. Athletes are encouraged to get as much done as they can within the 14-hour cutoff, and then return next year to see if they can get through another "gate."

Teams will complete the same amount of work in a You-Go-I-Go style. Runs do not have to be completed together, but reps can't begin until both athletes return from the run.

This will be a wave-start competition. You will receive your heat time after signing up. Water and LMNT electrolytes will be provided to all participants. Your run will be outdoors...prepare accordingly!"
