Rebel Pilot Gar Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Blade and I are linking up for a bodyweight PvP to increase our skills over this 6 week challenge. PvP Details:1) Graded on total reps completed for each exercise.2) Maximum 3 nonconsecutive days per week with 3-5 sets 3) Sets must be completed within 1 hour from start of first set (so warm ups and cool downs don't count for time, and pushups during TV don't count towards reps)The exercises will be:PushupsSquatsPullupsLungesPlanks Quote "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 So excited about the PvP that I had to go and get my workout in today.Total Time: 39 minutes (I'm using a kitchen timer to count down the hour so I won't run over)Pushups: 14, 13, 10 = (37 total)Squats: 30, 30, 25 = (85 total)Pullups: 5, 5, 4 = (14 total) .... I'm still on negative pullups, need to determine how those will be countedLunges: 20, 20, 20 = (60 total) ... 10 per leg, assuming we are counting cumulatively Planks: 50 sec, 55 sec, 49 sec = (2:34 total) Quote "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment

You're wasting no time. We have the same idea re. lunges, so keep counting the cumulative number. I'm planning on running tomorrow and lifting Sunday (headed home to visit parents, so have to take advantage of a weight bench and wooded trails), but the pressure's on now. Well done, I gotta play some catch up!

Well done, I gotta play some catch up!Yeah, the trick is that I need to keep being motivated. The past two challenges I felt my motivation drop as the challenge went on. Hope you enjoyed the equipment and trails, I love taking a weekend up at the family hunting cabin and just spending time wandering around in the woods.

Blade Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Took advantage of a weight bench at my parents' house Sunday morning, and I figure I'll count the following toward my totals:Pushups: 20 = (20 total)Squats: 10, 20, 8, 8 = (46 total) - done with weight, but for these purposes, I'll consider them bodyweightFeels like we might need an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of our totals here...I've still got lots of catch up to do!

I've been keeping track of my daily steps in one, but just added a Bodyweight PvP tab to help me with my math.

Blade Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Pfffff... never apologize for getting more workouts in. My prediction - you will kick my ass on the legs (especially lunges), I'll eventually win pushups and pullups, and we'll come out about even in planks. Should get a proper workout in on Wednesday - I'll let you know how much damage I can do!

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hey Blade, how are you holding up?I didn't feel like working out, but figured I had to do something. Just did a quick 30 min routine of warmup, pushups, cool down. 4 sets of 15 pushups = (60 total) = 176 cumulative Quote "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment
Blade Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nice work on the pushups, Garjan! I've been slacking, but will put a dent in your numbers tomorrow morning. One of these days I'm actually going to get ahead so I'm not always playing catch up. Look out now...

Blade Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 AM workout! Made some progress, which I'm guessing Garjan will come back and immediately annihilate. Numbers:Pushups: 20, 20, 16, 15, 20 = (91 total) = 181 cumulativeSquats: 40, 30, 30, 25 = (125 total) = 234 cumulativePullups: 0 = (0 total) = 0 cumulativeLunges: 30, 25, 30 = (85 total) = 155 cumulativePlanks: 1:15, 1:15, 1:00 = (3:30 total) = 5:30 cumulativeActually ahead (for now) in a couple! Your move.On other note, did we ever figure out how pullups would be tracked vs. negative pullups?

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hey Blade, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was lazy and took a week off from working out, but I'm getting back into it now. Especially since it looks like I have some catching up to do. I'm back at school now so I used weights today. I'll count the weighted squats as bodyweight and try to get in 2 bodyweight workouts later this week. As far as pullups go, I don't think we ever figured out any multiplier. I'll be doing band assisted now, but maybe negatives count as 50% (because it's only the lowering part) and band assisted counts as 70% of a pullup? I have not put any multiplier on my pullup numbers yet, so they are currently counting as 1. Though it doesn't look like you have found a bar to use yet, so maybe we should take those off the list for our PvP?Anyway, here's the part of my workout that counts towards our challenge. I was in the gym for a total of 45 min for my entire workout.Squats (w/ bar but counting as bodyweight) = 10, 10, 10, 10 = (40 total) = 250 cumulativePullup (band assisted) = 5, 4, 4, 2, 1 = (16 total) = 58 cumulativePlanks = 32 sec, 30 sec, 30 sec = (1:32 total) = 8:40 cumulative Quote "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment
