Jarric Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Missed Saturday and Sunday while I was on holiday, missed turning kicks because I left them too late and discovered that my house isn't big enough. Gave myself a hug with EC today though 2 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 16 - CON: 22 - CHA: 9 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

Xena Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone have tips for the reverse grip pushups? They look pretty darned hard. Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment

Just did them with EC. Truthfully, they are tough on your wrists, and really work your triceps. Hand position is important - make sure they're down by your waistline, or you'll simply run out of flexibility. There's only 10... good luck!

jmk Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Is Friday the last day of our challenge? Even if I do the EC the next two days, I will be one point from Titanium, but I am proud of myself for doing EVERYDAY and pounding out all 10 pushups at once. Love this challenge! 1 Quote Goal Weight: 145 Current Challenge Link to comment

There's only 10... good luck! Thanks for the tip...but I wasn't even close! Forced myself to do 10 scaled (knees...and for some of them hand pointing out rather than back). I think I need to work on narrow grip pushups first before taking these on. 22 hours ago, jmk said: Is Friday the last day of our challenge?

Great work!! ....yup. I can't make gold, but I'm pretty proud of my first try at this. I only wish I had scaled a couple of them rather than skipping them altogether. Did the squat hold but no EC (70+50 sec). The 50 sec was harder than the 70! 2 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Squat hold yesterday and seated punches today, both for EC. 1 Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

RocketbikeNinja Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 And we're wrapped. I've started the next challenge here: Linky Link. And I'm going to retire from competition, but stay on as the ring master. I'll still track, but be here more for questions, form, motivation etc. etc. I hope you all come back!

Jarric Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just wanted to say we'll done to everyone on this challenge! I'm going to take a month off from this one I think, I kinda flaked out towards the end and I've got so much going on I don't feel I can give my all to this. Have fun guys!
