There is nothing better than a challenge. Can you do this? Are you man enough? Well, it’s time to introduce the “No Weights Workout” Challenge. Let’s see who can complete the workout, and who walks away. It may seem simple, especially since there are no weights, but don’t be fooled. It’s time to see if you are up to the challenge.
Equipment Required:
- Flat Bench or Chair
- Pullup Bar
All exercises have a number of reps that need to be completed before moving on to the next exercise. The goal is to time yourself, and post your results. Complete all reps prior to moving forward, because this is THE CHALLENGE and is not for the weak!
