GOING STRONG!
Event 2 of the Solcana Invitational was a doozie! Thanks to everyone who participated, you all rocked it.
Those of you that did it know: The Turkish Get Up really is truly a full-body lift. On top of that, it tests your balance, stability, mobility, endurance, so many things! Shout out to everyone who put up a big Turkish Get Up PR, or folks new to the movement who went heavy for the first time.
The individual ranking based on percentage of bodyweight are as follows:
| Nathan Aul | 1 (70#) |
| Collin Arnett | 2 (72#) |
| Hannah Wydeven | 3 (62#) |
| Jerik Hendrickson | 4 (88.25#) |
| Mike Grewe | 5 (84#) |
Great job to Nate for another finish at the top of the podium, but Solcana staff don’t get the glory – Congrats to Collin Arnett for winning the event!
The team results for this event:
| Nate/Bradley | 1 |
| M&Ms | 2 |
| P.V.C.O.M.G. | 3 |
| Team Hannalee | 4 |
| Jonathan/Halimah | 5 |
As much a mental test as it is a strength test, the 3 minute situp test is something we have periodically thrown into the mix at Solcana for years. Again, a number of folks did the event two separate times and improved on the second round. WOW! So awesome.
The individual outcomes are as follows:
| Name | Reps |
| Ewan Scotto | 129 |
| Lara Friedman-Shedlov | 118 |
| Erin Walsh | 117 |
| Halimah Alossaimi | 106 |
| Brandon Stein | 104 |
Congrats to Ewan Scotto for winning the event. That is SO MANY SITUPS, wow!
