Today marks the 20th Anniversary to Master Sgt. Michael Maltz death during Operation Enduring Freedom. Over the years since his untimely death, a workout has been named in his honor and takes place across the globe by numerous law enforcement and military agencies. Today the PAX of Surge once again took part in the challenge, marking the 4th time these HIM took to the gloom with this beatdown.

The Thang:
The Maltz Challenge is a workout where you are typically competing against the clock. At Surge we decided to do the challenge together and enjoy fellowship. The Maltz consists of the following, but in parenthesis is an acceptable modification making it more F3 friendly and available for those who don’t have access to all the equipment at their respective A/O’s.
- 400m run (we took a long lap around the back of the school along the path and came back to the playground)
- 50 Pull Ups (or 50 inverted rows)
- 100M fireman’s carry or 200M farmers walk (we took our blocks and did a full lap around the double length basketball court holding the block either overhead or on our shoulder)
- 50 Dips
- 100 Merkins
- 50 knees to elbows (or 50 iron crosses).
- 100 BBSU (or 200 LBC).
- 400m run (we took a long lap around the back of the school along the path and came back to the playground)
RECOVER!!!
Return the blocks and mosey back to the shovel flag…..or the area where we normally have our shovel flag.
