And, here we are. You made it. You have reached week 4. You survived and overcame the: WIN Volume 2, Participation Award, BDE Mile, and the CINDY500. And hopefully along the way, you have been pushed by our region and have grown not only physically, but also as a group. Before presenting this year’s final workout, on behalf of F3Greenwood, we thank you for playing. Thank you for buying into the Iron pax Challenge. Thank you for all of the Twitter banter. Thank you for all of the stories of “guys picking up the 6”. We enjoy bringing this challenge to you each year but now…we need a beer or two before we start planning for IronPax 2024.

Reminder to submit your score at www.f3greenwood.wordpress.com. You can complete the workout as many times as you would like, but the last score submitted will be the one used in calculating your place in the standings. Also, the scoring window will stay open for the entirety of the Iron Pax Challenge but in order to be considered for the weekly competition, you must complete the workout and submit your score by midnight on Sunday following the release of the workout. This week, the scoring measures is time to completion.

We are happy to present you with this week’s workout aptly entitled, We Aren’t Professionals. This is a for time workout. This one incorporates some of everyone’s favorite exercises from the past, including the venerable Dark Helmet. So, for the last time, have fun with it, push each other, prod each other, and keep “picking up the 6”.

Once again, ScarU is providing suggestions on how to modify the workout so all men can participate. There is nothing wrong with modifying the work. It’s You vs You. Keep pushing yourself. Making yourself better.

F3Waxhaw has been doing the IPC workouts relay style the past 2 years as a way to challenge the regions and also to incorporate more PAX within their region who might not be able to do the workout on their own. Their recommendation on how to complete this week’s workout relay style. You can recruit as many guys as you want to complete the relay.
