Join the Million Pound Challenge Today

I'm excited to share the concept of "The Million Pound Challenge," an idea born from the desire to achieve something truly ambitious, even seemingly impossible. The inspiration struck me when considering the sheer volume of one million pounds and whether such a weight could be lifted in a single workout. Adding the power of teamwork and a charitable cause amplified the idea.

I began by tracking the cumulative free weight I lifted in an average workout and then explored how long it would take one person to move a million pounds, considering exercise type, increments, and required weight. I also pondered whether a team could accomplish this in a single session and what rules would govern such a challenge. I brought this concept to our 7 AM Club, a group that meets every Saturday to exercise and engage in meaningful conversation—or, as we say, to "earn our Saturday."

Chris Baggett, owner of Fully Alive and leader of our 7 AM Club, embraced the challenge of determining the movements and weights needed to reach this goal, and that's how "The Million Pound Challenge" officially came to life. In 2022, we picked a date, charity, and 10 crazy guys. We had no idea how long it would take but we did it. And so can you!

Here are the rules for participation:

* Assemble a team of 10.

* Select a charity to raise money for.

* Complete the movements within two hours.

* Post your team's time, total weight lifted, and a picture with the charity the challenge honored.

*Variations include a women's weight option. 

IF YOU COMPLETE 1 MILLION IN UNDER 2 HOURS, YOU CAN:

1. CONTINUE LIFTING TO 2 HOURS, TOTAL THE WEIGHT LIFTED AT THE 2HR MARK AND POST WEIGHT NUMBER.

 2. STOP AT 1 MILLION AND POST THE TIME.  

For those seeking an even greater challenge:

* **Strict Edition:** Complete the movements in order (no rounds).

* **Elite Edition:** A team of five, with each member lifting 200,000 pounds.

* **Titan Edition:** A team of four, with each member lifting 250,000 pounds.
