WhiteGhost Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 @Endor, I have a question about the 3RM deadlift - given that my barbell is only about half of my 3RM, if I do 3 single leg reps for each leg, can I count that as double? For example 3 reps each leg at 50kg to equal 3 normal reps at 100kg? If not, I guess I will just be stuck with those darn wall sits Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment

Full disclosure - I have not read all the books NOR seen all the movies. (I'm a bad nerd.) I was traumatized (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) by the ending of Order of the Phoenix (book), so I "took a break" before starting The Half-Blood Prince. That break has now been like a decade. I did eventually see the movie version of OOTP, which was somehow less emotional, but I'm the kind of annoying Luddite who refuses to watch the movies until I have read the books, so I have not seen the last two - even though I am pretty sure all the major spoilers have been long since spoiled. 1 Quote “Then something Tookish woke up inside of him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick." -J.

I've read the books all the way through 4 times, and they are well worth the time. They get progressively darker though, so that's probably why the 1st book will always be my favorite. 1 Quote We will never see the best version of ourselves inside our comfort zone Link to comment

However, you're the Slytherin House Champion (bet you didn't know that!) and king of the wall-sit. If you can hit the 160 secs wall-sit cap that'll be worth 40 points, so with the custom rules just for you, a deadlift of more than 60kg each leg with a 30 sec wall-sit buy in is required to get the best score. 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

WhiteGhost Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 So I went and got my other 2 15kg plates from the basement today to get my weight up to 60kg (+ the bar which is like 0.5kg or something?) and did the deed this morning. It was leg day anyway, so I just moved this up to the front of the workout and got it out of the way. My legs did not like that one bit, but I convinced them to go along with it 3 1 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment
Endor Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 @WhiteGhost is the first to catch the Snitch with a deadlift 3RM of 121kg! That counts for 40 points to Slytherin!

I probably should have asked this earlier (like before I was sorted... sorry fellow housemates!), but is there a possible alternative exercise for me for the burpees week? I am not sure how you are handling pushups and such, if they need to be a specific type, but... as far as I know, there is only one type of burpee. I can just about barely manage one "normal" pushup (my pushup level is around knee pushups, but my bad knee does not like that pressure, so I still do counter pushups), and normal pushups are part of doing a burpee... I probably could do at least a couple a day (while crying from effort) if that was my only problem. But there's my bad knee, plus significant obesity. I flat out don't dare do either of the jumping position changes that a burpee calls for. I noticed someone else got a doable personal version of a snitch catch... And my knee can handle squats, so I suspect a wall sit is something I can do, so I am dreaming of trying for that snitch... But what about the burpees, and my probable "can't do that"? 1 Quote Level 1 NPC Assassin Strength: 2 | Dexterity: 0 | Stamina: 3 | Constitution: 1 | Wisdom: 4 | Charisma: 0 Current Quest | Previous Quest | Current Stats Weight Loss Goal: 40 of 116 lbs; 296 to 180 {progress='1e90ff'}34.5{/progress} Link to comment
