Lift the Constitution

man dusting hands with chalk over dead lift weights

In honor of our nation’s 250th birthday, NSA HR - Northwest MWR Fitness is hosting a three-month lifting competition from Wednesday, July 1 to Wednesday, September 30 at the Fitness Center.

You are being challenged to lift the USS Constitution, one of the oldest active ships in the Navy’s fleet. Its most famous account is its sinking of the HMS Guerrerie during the War of 1812. Witness accounts recall cannon balls deflecting off its hull with no damage to the ship, earning the nickname “Ironside.”

Every day, log the amount of your deadlift, squat, and bench press weights for a final total to be tallied at the end of the challenge.

For more information, please call 757-421-8287.
