Strenghtfort 2018 Presents: The 208 Rep Challenge!

Can you…

  • Lift the unwieldy 208-pound “monster bar” or its 98-pound cousin for reps? How about 802 lbs? (freaks only).
  • Press your age or more for reps with just 20.8 lbs. in each hand? How about far more?
  • Conquer the timeless Sig Klein dumbbell challenge (freaks only)?
  • Hold just 10 pounds of chains at your sides for 2:08? How about 20 for 20 seconds?
  • Pull a 208-lb. sled? Or beat your friend in a race with one?
  • Do 20 push-ups? Or dips? Or pull-ups? If so, we can make them harder…
  • Tear 20 playing cards in half at once? How about a whole deck?
  • Swing a weighted jump rope for 2:08?
  • Pinch-lift 20kg between your finger and thumbs? How about 98 lbs.?
  • Curl your age for reps with an old-school 20.8-lb globe barbell?
  • Bear-hug nearly 100 pounds and carry it 20 yards? How about 208 lbs.?
  • Deadlift our giant stone potato, or a slightly smaller tot?
  • Ring the bell on our classic high-striker with a single swing?

We don’t care if you can or not. Come find out! It’s free, kid-friendly, fun, and bizarre.

Band Dialogue VII

Saturday, March 24th 5:00-6:00pm
Celebration Circle at JUMP

Composed and conducted by Seth Olinsky (Cy Dune), Band Dialogue is a massive composition, experiment, and conversation that explores the sonics of many bands, stretched out across a space, playing simultaneously, part orchestra, part installation. Continuing in the lineage of large scale guitar and drum events by the likes of NYC composer Rhys Chatham and Osaka noise lords Boredoms, each version is adapted to the site and bands for something totally unique – bands radiate their individual glory while simultaneously expanding into one colossal sound.

Though the public has access to all of these rad activities and events, if you want to guarantee being a part of the festival, you should buy a 5-day Treefort pass. In some cases, Treefort passholders have priority entry into events before the public.

Get your Treefort pass now for $195 (plus fees) here or swing by the Record Exchange!
