17.03 to 21.03

David Jordan and Paula Olsson set the bar for the week, Dave Mellor and Hannah White curled until their arms considered early retirement, and Tom Cowgill and Sophie Entwisle left the their quads' fate to the roll of a dice.

The Barsetter

Kicking off with a Bench Press five-rep max - with each percentage of bodyweight contributing to time knocked off in a bar-based speed round - David Jordan clocked in at 01:35, and Paula Olsson won her seventh Feat of the year with 01:25.

Dead Arm

With the exercise changing every minute for four minutes, Members repped as many Hammer Curls, Wide Curls, Straight Curls, and Reverse Curls as possible. Dave Mellor - 153 - and Hannah White - 174 - completed the most repetitions.

Campbell Gamble

Created by our own Pete Campbell, a playful blend of leg exercises were left in the fate of a dice roll. In five painful minutes, Tom Cowgill scored 18 sets, and Sophie Entwisle scored 17 sets, securing them both their sixth Feats wins of 2025.

It was a week of grit, gains, and questionable life choices as our six Feats phenoms - David, Paula, Dave, Hannah, Tom, and Sophie - earn big wins. Strength, endurance, and a little bit of luck - because why not keep fitness as unpredictable as DOMS?

10.03 to 14.03

Pete Campbell and Sophie Entwisle put on pacy push performances, Oli Duffy and Sam Cowgill dominate their categories in Eliot Dunn's core creation, and Tom Cowgill and Denyse Price rank first in Hannah White's quad concoction.

4x4x4

Four exercises, four repetitions, four times over. Pete Campbell - 04:31 - and Sophie Entwisle - 04:33 - nearly matched up their speedy scores as they completed a series of pushing exercises in the fastest times to win it in their divisions.

Mat Attack

Two-time Björnlympics champion Eliot Dunn tested his comrades through four timed core exercises before a Plank-to-fail finisher. 14-year-old Oli Duffy accumulated 371 points, and Sam Cowgill won it for the women with 381 points.

The Great White

Whipped up by July 2024 Milestones winner Hannah White, Members would complete Leg Presses, Leg Extensions, a Wall Sit and more, building as many points as possible. Tom Cowgill's 241 and Denyse Price's 184 topped the tables.

It was six steadfast spectacles as Pete, Sophie, Oli, Sam, Tom, and Denyse seize their victories in this week's rendition of the Feats, with commendation also going to Björnstrxng newcomer Holly Kelly for her first podium finish of the year.

03.03 to 07.03

Ben Crutchley comes in clutch, running partners Denyse Price and Hannah White get their first dubs of 2025, Dave Mellor wins his fourth Feat of the year through gritted teeth, and Tom Cowgill and Faye Summers showcase speed.

Dip & Drive

Ben Crutchley should consider a name change to Ben 'Clutchley' as his decisive performance in the latter stages of the week racked up 309 points and a win on his Feats debut. Denyse Price also won her first of the year with a score of 279.

Curl Crusade

Rob Conway tapped into his sadistic side when constructing this week's Member-made Feat. Dave Mellor pipped the aforementioned creator with 1,505 through a series of bicep exercises, and Hannah White won it for the women with 1,895.

Jump!

In one of the most wearing Feats to date, Members had five lots of thirty-seconds to complete as many repetitions as possible through jump-themed exercises. In two-and-a-half minutes, Tom Cowgill scored 100, and Faye Summers scored 111.

Seeing new victors emerge in the Feats is a testament to the depth of ability and continued progression within the Björnstrxng Gym, so a big well done to our Feats frontrunners for the week just gone, both new and old. Keep up the momentum.

24.02 to 28.02

Two braces and two speedy showings formed the four prevailing performances in this week's Feats as Rob Conway, Sam Baker-Smith, Aaron Stevens, and Sophie Entwisle sustain recognition as some of Björnstrxng's top performers in 2025.

Heavy Hitter

Rob Conway won his first of two Feats through a concoction of point building pushing exercises. He scored 177 points to win it for the men, and Sam Baker-Smith won it for the women in absence of her training partner, Paula, with 178 points.

Back Burnout

Five exercises, five repetitions, five-minutes. Rob's brace came courtesy of 15 sets on a pull-themed AMSAP, and Sam Baker-Smith twinned his double Feats win by pipping Faye Summers in the latter stages of the week with 16 completed sets.

Quick Step

Speed was the name of the game in the final Feat of the week as Aaron Stevens and Sophie Entwisle topped their respective divisions through Farmer's Carries, Deadlift Jumps, and more. Both scored 02:22 to continue their hot starts to 2025.

Rob's twofold dub places him at the top of the 2025 Members table as his achievements tally 36 points. Sam is one Feat away from Faye's eight, and Aaron and Sophie maintain healthy positions in the 2025 Members table with 23 points.

17.02 to 21.02

You'd know nothing of the cold weather as the heat rises in the Björnstrxng Gym ahead of Recömp 3 as Aaron Stevens, Paula Olsson, Sophie Entwisle, Pete Campbell, and Jez Grove earn their way to the top of the Feats tables.

Push the Tempo

To Sub Focus & Katy B's Push the Tempo, Aaron Stevens's 16 sets of push-based exercises pipped Rob Conway's 15 to steal the Feats victory on this occasion. Paula Olsson won her first of two Feats as her score of 15 won it in the female division.

Back-to-Back-to-Back

Despite two weeks away from the Björnstrxng Gym, Sophie Entwisle's ice climbing escapades clearly kept her in fine fettle as she scored 204 points through three back-based point builders. Pete Campbell's 211 won it convincingly for the men.

Quadsruple

A quad-set of quadriceps, Jez Grove - 77 - and Paula Olsson - 98 - conquered timed Trap Bar Carries, the Vertical Leg Press to fail, a two-minute Cycle, and a Leg Extension Hold to fail to secure their first and sixth Feats of 2025 so far.

Paula couldn't quite match Faye Summers's historical record from the last trio of Feats; however, she will give it a good go in the upcoming week ahead of her holiday to Thailand. Aaron, Paula, Pete, Sophie, and Jez, congratulations on your victories.

10.02 to 12.02

Coach Joe's holiday meant that a half-week at the Björnstrxng Gym translated double efforts from our resilient Members as Aaron Stevens, Faye Summers, Dave Mellor, Sam Baker-Smith, and Paula Olsson topped the Feats tables.

Triple Threat

Faye Summers won her first of three Feats this week through completing three lots of Push Press, Lateral Raises, Dips, and more. A score of 03:52 decimated her opposition, and Aaron Stevens won it by nine-seconds for the men with 04:30.

Row Big or Row Home

Dave Mellor - 05:10 - and Faye Summers - 05:38 - opted to 'Row Big' as their speedy scores via Dead Rows, Renegade Rows, Kettlebell Rows, TRX Pull Ups, and the Rower earned their third and seventh wins of the year, respectively.

Legs on Fire

Courtesy of Vinita Parmar, Members had the duration of one of two fire-themed tunes to finish as many sets as possible. Paula Olsson and Faye were even at 21 in the shorter volume, and Sam Baker-Smith's 26 won her the extended rendition.

Faye's hattrick of Feats wins means that she has become the only Björnstrxng Member to not only win all three Feats on one occasion, but now on two separate. A big hand to our five winners, and congratulations to our Feats figurehead, Faye!

03.02 to 07.02

Aaron Stevens pushes his way to a second Feats win, Faye Summers is at the double for her fourth and fifth wins of 2025, our two youngest Members earn big dubs, and Rob Conway is back to his best after an injury-stricken January.

Double Trouble

Aaron Stevens - 05:42 - and Faye Summers - 04:17 - completed two quint-sets of pushing exercises back-to-back for their second and fourth respective Feats wins of the year, performing amicably through Push Presses, Banded Dips, and more.

Lull Before Lift

Björnstrxng's two youngest Members, Oli Duffy, 14, and Millie Ryde, 17, showcased their fearlessness and buoyancy as they both scored over 500 points through a Dead Hang, Trap Bar Deadlift, L-Sit Hold, and Barbell Deadlift.

Quadpocalypse

A quad-focussed five-minute AMSAP saw Rob Conway push through physical and mental exhaustion to complete 13 sets, a welcomed win after a tough start to the year injury-wise. Faye's 14 earned her second Feat of the week and fifth of 2025.

Big performances indeed from our 'fantastic five' this week, with special mentions going to Dave Pearce for his first ever top two finish, and Elle Turner for placing second in her Feats debut after scoring 11 sets on the unforgiving Quadpocalypse.
