🏋️♂️ CBalance Bench PR Challenge Recap!
Our latest Bench Press PR Challenge brought out the fire in our CBalance crew — and the results did not disappoint.
Instead of judging solely by raw numbers, we calculated each participant’s performance using a 1RM strength estimate-to-body-weight ratio, giving every lifter a fair and level playing field no matter their size, age, or experience level. This ratio-based scoring highlighted not just strength, but strength relative to each individual’s physique — the true test of power.
The energy was high, the reps were clean, and the competition was fierce. Huge shoutout to everyone who stepped up to push their limits, set new personal records, and cheer each other on. 💪🔥
The top male and female lifters will be awarded a choice of a CBalance T-Shirt or a Redlight Therapy Sauna Session as a prize!
In the male division we had:
🥇 Jeff Brake takes 1st place with a 1RM estimate of 275lbs at a 1.3 strength to body weight ratio
🥈 Ernest Power came in a very close 2nd with a 1RM estimate of 200lbs with a 1.2 of strength to body weight ratio.
In the female division we had:
🥇 Lindsay Maxwell takes 1st place with a 1RM estimate of 105lbs at a 0.86 strength to body weight ratio
🥈 Autumn Gale came in 2nd with a 1RM estimate of 130lbs with a 0.82 of strength to body weight ratio.
The first place winners can claim their prize at front desk!
A huge kudos to everyone who completed this challenge. We saw some amazing strength gains in everyone in a short 4 week period of time! So@stoked for you all!!
Stay tuned — more challenges are coming. At CounterBalance, we don’t just lift weights… we lift each other and help each other find their strength 💪🏼
