Summer Challenge 2018

We are excited to announce our third Live Challenge of 2018! Charity Challenges Live events, like this one, have 100% of their net proceeds donated to the listed charity.

Challenge Information

Goal: Complete as many leg levers and diamond push-ups as you can between 8/1/2018 and 9/30/2018. Earn your tab (see Tab Requirements below.)
Charity Benefited: Run Far

Rules

• Leg levers must use proper form. (Video Tutorial)
• Diamond push ups must use proper form. (Video Tutorial)
• One diamond push up = one diamond push up and one leg lever = one leg lever regardless of any additional weight used during the exercise. No rep adjustments are made for extra weight.
• Honor system is in effect. No video proof required.

If you are unable to safely complete a diamond push-up then you can attempt incline diamond push-ups. Incline diamond push-ups are where your hands are on a block, box, or other object so that they are above your feet. This is an easier version and you should be reducing the incline as you can until there is no incline and you are doing standard diamond push-ups. If you cannot do incline diamond push-ups then work through knee diamond push-ups with the goal of working to an incline diamond push-up. Only do these variations if you are unable to complete an actual diamond push-up.

Patch Design

Tab Requirements

There will be a shield patch for participation and four tabs for achieving set goals. There are no physical goods associated with “Virtual Patch Only” level however they may be purchased separately from the store. The tabs are for:

• Diamond Tab: Complete 2,500 diamond push ups.
• Leg Lever Tab: Complete 5,000 leg levers.
• Summer Complete Tab: Complete both 2,500 diamond push ups and 5,000 leg levers.
• Mettle Forger Tab: Complete 6,000 diamond push ups and 12,000 leg levers. This tab is in memory of Charity Challenges Co-Founder Kirk “Mettle Forger” Deligiannis.

How It Works

Charity Challenges hosts virtual events which are events that you can do wherever you want. Each event has a set duration (this one runs from 8/1/2018 – 9/30/2018) where you will try and complete the challenge. We have built out a system so that you can log your exercises on the website for tracking your goals.

We’ve built the Charity Challenges experience to be as simple for you as possible. Here’s a basic breakdown on how this challenge works:

1. Register for the event.
2. Starting 8/1/2018 log your diamond push ups and leg levers completed to your Charity Challenges account.
3. Celebrate in your success on 9/1/2018!
