Challenge 10 Starting Stats: Weight: 85.7 kg Body fat: 20.7% Goal 1 - Full Paleo for 2 continuous weeks (CHA 3, DEX 2) I'm doing really well on my lifting and conditioning but I'm eating too much rubbish and it's preventing me from dropping some stubborn fat. I've tried full Paleo in the past and struggled with it, never usually make it past 2 days, I get really bad headaches. So this time I'm aiming for something realistic, at some point during the 6 weeks I want to get 2 full weeks of 100% Paleo under my belt. The other 4 weeks I can do what I want, except for sugar....see goal 3! Goal 2 - Sub 80kg (CHA 2, DEX 3) Keeping this goal from last challenge as it's still where I want to be. Yes weight figures are arbitrary but I have some fat to lose and I need a goal to focus on. I also want less weight to have to haul around the squash court. Weigh in once a week, if I stay the same weight but BF% drops that's good news too. I have a nice reward linked to this, details below. Goal 3 - No sugar on more than half the days this challenge (CHA 3) Sugar has reappeared in my diet and it's holding me back from losing BF%. I want to get more than half the days this challenge as sugar free. I also want my NF friend @Ems to join me for this goal....will ya?! Side goal: I have stopped swimming and I miss it. This challenge I would like to go swimming at least once a fortnight. (DEX 2) Rewards: History shows rewards also work well for me. - If I go sub 80kg I will book my dream diving trip to the Yongala wreck. As you can see no strength or fitness goals at all this challenge, it's all about nutrition and if I hit my goals I'm going to get major Charisma and Dexterity buffs! Edit: moved this tracker here so I can find it easily. I need to track my non-sugar days somewhere to stay accountable so I'll just do it here. x=fail y=winner winner chicken dinner!

Hey folks Ready for 6 weeks of pullups? Time for Armstrong! This challenge (starting 14th April 2014) a few people will be following the Armstrong pullup program anyone is welcome to join in and you can join at any point in the 6 weeks. Rules: 1. Test your max reps for pullups (and/or pushups) and post here. Deciding the PVP winners: Those doing pullups will be measured on two things: 1. Who improves by the largest number of reps in a 6 week period 2. Who can do 15 consecutive pullups at the end of the 6 week period (If you can do 10 or more already then who can do 18) If you can't do a pullup yet, you can follow the Armstrong Pre-Pullup Program Those doing the beginner program will be measured on: 1. Max death by pushups (1 then 2 then 3 then 4 etc. until you can't do any more) 10 secs rest for each rep in the previous set. 2. Who can do 15 Max pullup substitutes (as per what is listed in the armstrong pre-pullup program for substitutes) The prizes: OK time for some reverse psychology 1. Anyone that improves their max reps by 50% has to donate US $5 to a charity of their choice. 2. Anyone that can hit the 15 in the second goal has to donate US $5 to a charity of their choice. Come on you don't want to let your favourite charity down do you? Pull your finger out they need your help!
