Take the Weight Hold Challenge!

  • Lightweights = 80-90lb DBs
  • Middleweights = 100lb DBs
  • Heavyweights = 120lb DBs

Partner up and grab the right set of dumbbells. Switch off with your partner every 60 seconds for three one-minute goes each. 

Stand up tall and don't let the weights break down your posture. This challenge is perfect for building grip endurance, strong shoulders, and putting your mental toughness to the test.

Tag someone that you know you could beat at this challenge!
