Really helpful man, I gotta start one of these.

hopefully a lot of people will make their own gauntlet and post up with any new ideas or originality they come up with. id be interested to see what other people do!

i've been trying to organize a hell night in my city; when i first read blane's blog entry about his hell nights i was in shock about what they put themselves through.

While a similar practice has always been in my training regimen, Blane's Hell Night and your Gauntlet are far more intense.  It may be that I do it alone, so there's no real reason that pushes me to literally kill myself that day... But I'll see about starting something organized in my area.  Thanks.

Progress anyone? If anyone has started one or is working on it, I want to hear about it!

I walked around the private property where I usually train. I think I could set up something similar like this for myself. Make it really basic now, and amp up the difficulty as I get better. There's an industrial laundry chute that drops 6 floors into the basement.  ;D

[Edit] Checked out the laundry chute last night. It hasn't been used in probably 10 years, so it was pretty nasty. Getting up to the first floor chute opening is easy enough. Unfortunately, it's a tight squeeze, with no hand-holds on the other side, and the door is spring loaded. I think I will not put this in my beginning level gauntlet.

Your article really inspired me to make my own gauntlet here in Cali. Colleges are so good for this so I'm working on one at UCLA. I created a mini gauntlet that I put some of the guys through that I train with. It lasted about 1hr. We went to five different areas doing 3 rounds of different conditioning drills.

Your article was so good with all of the pics and the descriptions. I'll see if I can't get some this week or weekend and show you what I've come up with.

It was such a great workout. I can't wait to keep doing it every week. And I'm anxious to come to Colorado to train with you and hopefully check out your gauntlet. (maybe this summer).

Thanks PD. Glad it helped. Hopefully I will see you this summer!

I finally took some pictures of the gauntlet I created. I was also able to get some video footage.

Here's a link to my write up, the video is at the bottom:

I like your gauntlet a lot PD.  I'm actually excited to go back to school in the fall so I can make my own. 

Nice gauntlet PD! Do you have a weekly one going or is it just occasionally?

Thanks guys! We hit it up once a week on Saturdays.

Fantastic idea, we just ran our gauntlet today and it was good.  We took some pictures of what we did, maybe I'll put it up once we get a little more.
