🎖️ THE ULTIMATE FLEX: Army Challenge Alert! 🎖️ Things got HEATED today as the Army rolled onto campus with a simple but brutal challenge: hold a 10lb weight at eye level. Sounds easy? Your deltoids would beg to differ! 💪🔥 The energy was electric as students pushed through the burn. While many were fighting tooth and nail just to hit the 1:45 qualifying mark, a few absolute legends decided to rewrite the record books. 🏆 The Leaderboard of Legends The competition was fierce, but these three took it to a whole new level: Drake Johnson-3:15-shattering the 3:10 record Karlene Kepler-4:05-Absolute Nerve Ely Weller-5:05-New All-Time Record Huge shoutout to everyone who stepped up to the plate (or the weight) today. Whether you lasted 5 seconds or 5 minutes, the grit on display was next level! ~ United We Educate ~
