The Griffin 8

THE GRIFFIN 8

8 minutes. 4 movements.

How many rounds have you got?

 

Welcome to Week 1 of the Road to Griffin Challenge Series.  Three free weekly challenges designed to test your strength, fitness and grit and give you a taste of Griffin Classic.

The Griffin 8 is a fast, simple 8-minute AMRAP using bodyweight and dumbbell movements, so you can take on the challenge at home or in your local gym.

YOUR CHALLENGE Set the clock for 8 minutes and complete as many rounds as possible:

8 Dumbbell Thrusters Female: 2 × 5kg | Male: 2 × 10kg

10 Dumbbell Deadlifts Female: 2 × 10kg | Male: 2 × 15kg

12 Bodyweight Reverse Lunges 6 each leg

8 Burpees

Keep cycling through the four movements until the 8-minute clock runs out.

YOUR SCORE Your score is your total number of repetitions completed in the the 8 minutes

For example, if you complete 5 full rounds plus 8 thrusters and 6 deadlifts, your score is:

5 Rounds (=38 Reps per round) + 14 Reps = 204

 

NO RX WEIGHTS? NO PROBLEM. The listed male and female weights are our challenge weights, giving everyone a consistent benchmark to aim for.

If those weights aren't right for you, scale them to a load that allows you to move safely and confidently. You don't have to be an experienced fitness racer to take part.

The goal is simple: get involved, challenge yourself and see what you've got.
