KoTF 2nd Competition

Time has passed, and the King grows complacent on his throne. Does anyone have the gumption to overthrow Nigel?  

 

Your opportunity is here and your challenge is mobility.

 

Rules: 

 

1) The winner will perform a single five-second repetition of a Standing Overgrip Dislocate with a Weighted Bar.  The heaviest weighted dislocate wins.  In the event of a tie, the narrowest grip using the same weight wins.  

 

2) Technique must be acceptable and the submission must be shot showing the width of the grip used. 

 

3) It is not enough to tie the current King, you must beat his total score to take his throne.

 

4) The submission must be in the form of a video embedded as a reply to this thread.

 

5) Current ranking will determine points (1-10) and will be cumulative with the previous challenge. You must work hard to knock the King off his throne!

Timeline:

 

-This is an on-going challenge for at least a couple months. The winner will not necessarily be he who has the best performance today, but the individual who gets after it. Train hard and train smart if you want to win.

 

-Multiple video submissions are expected and encouraged during the challenge. The more you're willing to be vulnerable, the more likely you will succeed.

 

-Where you are today does not predict the winner: you are only guaranteed to lose if you don't try. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sharing Means Caring...About a Free Foundation Series:

 

-The individual who has the most new referrals into the KoF contest will win a free Foundation Series package.

 

-Referrals must enter your name into the referral field either in the store or on forum registration and must enter a valid submission to the contest to count. 

 

-Referals who purchase Handstand One during this time will earn double credit for the member referring them. 

 

 

Share Your Progress:

 

 

-We want to see your daily training for this KoF Challenge. Share your photo or short video on either Instagram or Facebook with the mention @gymnasticbodies and the hashtag #gbforumking

 

-We will feature some of the best photos on our official page/channel.

 

-Being featured enters you into a periodical drawing for a drawstring backpack with the new GB Logo.

 

 

 

The first KoTF challenge was a great success. Let's make this next one something that the entire internet knows about!

NB - These two contests would be ongoing and replace our current FB contests as these can potentially generate far more reach

 

To-Do: Create a video short to advertise the contest on Youtube.

Sounds good Cory. This one should be interesting

Since Coach let out the GB Course roadmap, lets ride that momentum out before announcing this.

Any thoughts on the two contests? I'd like to see both going, but I'm not sure whether the prizes feel appropriate or not.

Cole Dano

The roadmap is a huge announcement, I think we should make this a major part of the next newsletter, and maybe make it a sticky in the forum.
