      Samantha on the mound at Rider College

       Samantha working out at Nxt Level

    Samantha Bennett has been a member at NLP for a little less than a year. Samantha came to us to improve her overall athletisism. She is in her senior year and pitches for the Rider College Softball Team. This year she had to pass her teams General Physical Performance test, in where she has to pass certain events in order to maintain her status on the team. Samantha was very nervous but worked hard all summer with two of her peers training at Nxt Level. NLP wants to congratulate Samantha Bennett for killing the GPP test. Her scores were as follows:             

    1.5 mile – 12:18 min                           
    300 m sprint – 55.6 sec
    max sit ups in one min – 53 (almost a perfect score)
    max pushups- 43

    Samantha, who scored well above the standards, was very happy with the results. She thanked us for her helping her enhance her performance. Well Samantha, be proud of yourself. We showed you the path, but you actually did the work to reach your intended goal. So, KUDO’s to you in reaching your goal. We are very proud of you. You killed it Kid.

    “Brendan” 

    This ROD is named after Brendan Marrocco whose vehicle, while stationed in Baghdad, was hit by an EFP (Explosive Fired Projectile). This resulted in the loss of Brendans limb’s & other life threatening injuries.

    Five rounds for time of:
    100 meter run 
    10 DB Squat clean with press
    10 Push-ups 
    10 V sit-ups

    Use heavy weights in this routine for maximum gains in strength. When performing the squat clean, the squat should be deep in the bucket & finish off with an overhead press.
