Not going to get this one all prettied up this time. Going to be short, sweet, maybe a bit dirty and sweaty.

Goal # 1: 3001 Pull Ups by Dec 31, 2012.

Current Pull Count: 2078 (pre-workout today). This goal alone will be keeping me on point and focused. Yes, I know the challenge ends officially on the 24th. I'm extending mine through year-end.

Goal #2: Full body workouts at every "beastmode" engagement.

Last challenge's 'work my way into it' approach didn't work for me. I'm just going to get up and EFFING DO IT.

Mon/Fri: Squats/Pulls/Dips/Planks

Wed: Squats/Pulls/Push Ups/Planks

Changing it up with the Push Ups, just to work in a little extra somethin' somethin'.

Goal #3: PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FOOD.

This is the time of year that I start to give in to Dr. IDGAF's suggestions regarding my food. Going to experiment with keeping a food log, and when I can, give y'all some good old fashioned FOOOOOD POOOOOOOOOOORRRRNNNNNNN.

Level Up My Life Goal: Passing on this one. I'm currently Leveling Up with a 'lateral' promotion to a new branch and trying to help my manager get the ball rolling there since we launch mid-december. Pretty exciting times ahead there.

Points? First four point suggestions will be considered. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

Workout Report:

I took a large step and went right into adding weight to my squats again!

Today I did Squats/Pulls/Dips & 30 sec Planks all in circuits with 3min breaks between each set. I am also doing my pulls slow and purposeful, so I chose to start back on my TwentyPull Up, column 2, day 1 and use those numbers to guide the remainder of the workout, except for the planks of couse. The numbers were as follows for the sets: 4, 4, 3, 4, 5.

Pull Counter: 2098..... wait :::goes over and knocks out three pulls::: 2101.

All trolling aside, my calculations say that you have to do somewhere around 20 pull-ups per day. Given that I can do a little over 10 per day on my best days, I wish you luck. Also that you get up and do them now if you don't have an appointed time set.

LOVE THE PULL-UP CHALLENGE! I am trying to accomplish my own pull-up challenge as well :) 1500 pull-ups/chin-ups by Xmas Eve..the end of the 6-weeks. It's gonna be tough, but going "beastmode" is so much fun. You find out a lot about yourself while in "beastmode" which is why I think I love it so much! Good luck sir, I will encourage you threw this so you can achieve your pull-up goal!! You da man!!

Very true. Same with me. I will approve of the following holiday foods: turkey. plain sweet potatoes. ... olives. ... ? Surely there has to be more than that.

You've got this!

Thanks Liz! Get yer sweat & dirt on girl!

Sooo many pull-ups! :eek-new:

I know, right?!?

It is a heft number. And adding to the fact that I have 21 workouts (including Monday New Years Eve), if I do them on my workout days only, its an average of 42.85...so 43 per workout day. It is a good thing that I am switching to mornings, which means I can come home and do some 'supplemental' pull up work. Thanks for the well wishes! :victorious:

Much appreciated Wolf! Get after that 1500!

You're the man. That's all I have to say about this challenge.

So you're saying I shouldn't be taking Dr. IDGAF's meal plan?

Thanks Tin. YOU also are the man! And yes, if you wish to epically fail, by all means take Dr. Idgaf's recommendations. ;

Thanks ASL. I would say just eat 'smart' and don't drive yourself crazy.

Food log for Tuesday 11/13/2012

Breakfast: Nothing. 1 mug of decaf coffee w/some creamer.

10am - handful of almonds.

Lunch: 3 scrambled eggs & chopped up ham. Made in a steamer bag at work. Yeah, it works! Just be careful of the steam vents so the egg doesn't ooooooooze out everywhere from home to work!

Dinner: THIS ---- my wife's take on Pasta Fagiola (spell check) not alot of pasta, but a whole heck of alot of chicken and a little bit of bacon, and some beans and some cheese. Yeah, not totally Paleo, but not totally stupid either. Yeah, thats my current reading too in the pic. :victorious:

Total Water consumption: 62oz so far, will be at 90+ before the evening is over.

Morning Beast Mode/Get up and EFFING DO IT Mode successful.

Woke up at 7am. (taking the day off to spend with my youngest Kenobi daughter who turns 5 today)

8min warm up.

Squats/Pulls/Decline Pushups & 30sec planks.

5 circuits w/3min breaks between each w/some light stretching. The reps in each circuit were 4,4,4,4,5. Except for Pushups, I did 5 every time.

8min cool down/stretching.

50min rest and then did 8 more pull ups.

Will do more pulls as the day goes by to just 'catch up' a little on my Pull numbers.

PULL COUNTER: 2130

I forgot last time to specify how much weight I was squatting. Last year I worked my way up to 55lbs. This year I started at 55lbs. I've still got around 20 - 30 loose free weights around the house here to add.

Total workout time with warm up and cool down: 45min. BOOM. Short, sweet, and dirty!

What holiday utilizes Olives as it's signature food, sounds like my kind of party!

At Thanksgiving and Christmas, my family always put out a relish tray with carrots, celery, olives, etc., and I would hover around and eat the olives (trying not to eat them all before dinner started). Black olives for me. Not greens. Bleh.
