Are you ready for the next GBF Challenge?

The GBF Dead Hang Challenge in September was so much fun! For those who participated - let’s check-in! How is your grip strength going now? Who’s still been working on their hangs? Let me know!

Here’s a round-up of the results:

We had amazing submissions from 20s to 4mins03 - every one of those was a winner. Check out this roundup of some of your beautiful dead hangs from last time!

Special shoutouts to these fantastic people who submitted videos

Sam, Cath, Dani, Cyan, Kelly,.....

The best part of the GBF Dead Hang Challenge was watching everyone’s times progress, even in the space of a week.

So, here’s the good news - we are going to be running a GBF Challenge each month, starting December 1st!

This competition is about beating your own time and achieving new PBs, not about getting the best single result - it’s about progressing and improving on your own journey.

Who will be the GBF Challenge Champion? | Grace Brown Fitness London

Monthly GBF Challenge

Here’s how it will work:

Each month I will announce the challenge, which will be either reps or time-based.

If you’re a Strong Club member, taking part is simple! We’ll do the challenge in each Strong Club Class for that month, and I will record your results. If you’re not in the Strong Club already, head over to our Strong Club page and grab your first class for free! I’ll be coaching you through the challenge to help you ace your form and smash that progression!

For anyone submitting from home, be sure to tag @gracebrownfitness and #GBFChallenge on IG along with your result - remember, submit a result at the beginning of the month and then show me your progression!

The winner will be the person who achieved the biggest % change in their results, from the beginning of the month to the end.

The GBF Champion will be crowned at the end of each month on Instagram.

Will it be you?

I’ll be announcing December’s Challenge on IG on Monday - keep your eyes peeled!

Let’s get STRONG together! (and have a laugh while we do it!)

Cool-Downs: Are They Really Worth It?!

Mar 14, 2021

Short answer - yes!

Tips To Improve Wrist Strength & Mobility

Feb 28, 2021

Other than push-ups being hard, the biggest complaint I hear is that the wrists hurt or are very uncomfortable. The wrist actually has 35 muscles involved when moving it so it’s understandable so many experience pain, particularly during this exercise. It’s important to build up the strength and mobility of this relatively small part of your body!
