Team Baseline at the 2009 Arnold Fitness Weekend
"Pump & Run"
Sunday March 8th, 2009 marked the 9th Annual 'Pump and Run'
held during the Arnold Fitness Weekend. It was the 5th year for us at
Baseline and we had our largest group yet! We had a group of 15 including
11 women
ranging in age from 25 to 60 . Everyone did fantastic and had a great time!
If you are not familiar with the event,
here's an overview:
Participants
bench press an age based percentage of their weight. They receive 30
seconds off of their 5k run time for each rep performed with a maximum of 30
reps or 15 minutes credited. Females under 40 press 70% of their weight, 40+
it's 60%, 50+ is 50% and 60+ is 40%. Males press 100% of body weight under
40, 40+ is 90%, 50+ is 80%, 60+ is 70%.
Below we've included clips of some of our presses followed by a clip of the
early check in and portions of the 5k. Big thanks to Tom Landini for being our
videographer, producer and cheerleader!
