DRAGON FIRE
CHALLENGE
THE LOWDOWN
Your task for today’s challenge workout is to accrue 7 Minutes of Cumulative Dead Arm Hang Time as quickly as you
can. Each time you drop down from the bar you must complete the ‘Fire Pit’ circuit that consists of a 400 meter (1/4 mile)
run followed by 25 Finger tip Pushups, 20 Cossack Squats (10 on each leg) and 15 Sit-ups. The run is to be completed
first then the three strength based exercises in this circuit can be completed in 400 style, meaning you can perform the
exercises in any order or any rep division that you choose. All exercises with their respective reps/distances must be
completed before you can resume hanging from the bar each time you drop. You should look to keep rest time limited
throughout, with your goal being to complete the 7 minutes of cumulative hang time as quickly as possible.
Your score is determined by your total time to completion. The faster you can complete all
SCORING 400 reps in good form, the higher your score will be.
