Summer IC Challenge: Couples Pull-up
In honor of her big win last month, Jess Parker is paying it forward.  She handcrafted these awesome mugs for the winners of this summer’s IC challenge. What challenge you ask? The one we’re hosting for couples of the IC! …but unlike our Couple’s Decathlon of the past, when an intimate relationship was required, this one will reflect the diversity of our local community by including everyone. That’s right, any two of you–whether friends, spouses, classmates, parent-child, etc. can join forces and go for gold.
The Summer Couples Pull-Up Challenge will begin Monday July 13, 2009 and end on August 21, 2009. Partners must register by the end of business day on Monday July 13, 2009. Contestants will have one opportunity to crank out as many pull-ups as possible. The winners will be determined by the couple with the greatest sum total. All pull-ups must be strict dead hang with no lower body momentum. We encourage you to get creative with your performance style and costumes.
Oh yeah, the winners will also receive a free month of training!
Here is more pull-up inspiration from one of the most innovative teachers of our time, GIANT, founder of the Bartendaz.
The mugs are magnificent Jess. Thank you for thinking of us in this way and most importantly, for giving us your (he)art. This is a really special gift!!! Thank you, thank you… again and again…
love, love, love the mugs!

RIDICULOUS!!
Is there an alumni division? Am I the only one in it?
If any other hangers-on (ahem!) want to play on my team, I’m pretty sure I might be able to do ONE honest pull up by the time this challenge wraps up.
Also, those mugs are amazing. Wow.
Wow Jess those are great! I guess I will have to admire them afar this time. But hopefully by the next challenge I can do a dead hang.
Does that mean the superstar team of Jess and Jill are DQd since Jess created these masterpieces??!? Just kidding. Looking forward to watching all of the stellar performances … the IC crew easily rivals the Bartendaz.
I loved the female Bartenda, too! Is the correct term Bartendress?
Agreed Rachel, Honey B is fun to watch!
As far as Jill is concerned, why don’t you ask her to be your partner? You can call dibbs (sp?) right now…
I do believe Jess proposed to Jill after a bootcamp session. So they are now a power couple
Start from a dead hang? Really? No jump up to the bar to get things going? Geez. I think I’ll recalibrate my expectations…
Thanks for keeping things exciting. You know we love a challenge!

Jill and Jess as a team? I’m so glad to be on injured reserve.
Fantastic mugs.
Yes, the proposal was caught on tape. No offense to my hubby Ross, but I tried to get Jill/Jess to be my partner but Steve would not allow any temporary separation for spouses.
Jess, beautiful mugs! At this rate, you might as well give Jill the other half. With an injured shoulder, she still rocks and with you on her team = power couple.
