NEW FOR 2026
The belt is now a turnover chain. New year, new hardware, same suffering.
First workout of 2026 and we started it right — ten rounds of pure grind with a partner. 750 total reps per team when you do the math. That's how you ring in a new year.
Kim was the star today. First across the line, first to ring the bell, first to wear the new turnover chain. The belt evolved for 2026 — now it's a necklace, a chain you wear instead of hold. Same honor, different hardware.
Ethan and I worked through it steady. I had around a 50-pound sandbag, Kim had the 60-pounder. We were on the assault bikes which is a different kind of suffering than Whit and Rusty who chose the rower — that makes it much harder on the legs but easier on the arms. Pick your poison.
