Bekah Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 This PvP was spurred by a bucket list goal of Paul's (to do a Spartan Plank...aka. plank for 300 seconds straight) and I want to be able to do Chatarunga Dandasana and have a lot of strength to gain to accomplish that, so we decided to do this PvP. We do want to open it up to anyone who is interested too. Here is video on how to do a plank: http://youtu.be/TWpbe9nRyScHere is a 30 day schedule for those of you who are capable of that...I know that for me, it will be a much longer effort than 30 days, but I will use it as a progrssion guide. Let the Planksanity* begin!!!!! *term coined by SilverRapier, a fellow Rebel 2 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

Bucket List Geek Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is awesome! Thanks Bekah this is just the push I needed to get this done. In fact I just dropped and did a plank for 108 seconds. What's your starting time?

Zendikara Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm totally down for this! I used to be able to do the Spartan plank for 300 seconds easily, but then I stopped planking. I want to be able to do it again! 2 Quote ZendikaraLevel 1Night Elf AdventurerSTR 2 || DEX 1 || STA 1 || CON 1 ||WIS 9 || CHA 3 Between Heaven and HellNerfiwrich challenge Previous Challenges =11/10/14 Goal: Pay off Visa 12%12% Link to comment

Bekah Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 ok, so lets see...I have planked 3 of the last 5 days (and OMG what an improvement in consistency!!!) Day 1: 34 sec.Day 3: 28 sec. (I was also partially intoxicated, not sure how that played a role...but eh...maybe? But...drunk planks are pretty fun, if nothing else ) Day 5: 18 sec. (I did it today just because I didnt want to say I didn't plank at all, but I have had a SEVERE allergic reaction to some candles I bought, and am struggling to breathe today...so I didnt push myself even a little with this) 1 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

Bucket List Geek Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 ***DING*** That's right I levelled up to the 2 minute plank! That's 120 seconds, which is 12 seconds up on last week! I've been planking daily (Bekah do you see a pattern here) and focussing on my breathing, adding one deep breath each day similar to Steve's 60 day PLP challenge. ok, so lets see...I have planked 3 of the last 5 days (and OMG what an improvement in consistency!!!)

What. The. What!!!Planks are hard, my goodness. Yes planks are hard and Spartan planks are even harder, but that's why we love them Quote Bucket List GeekLevel 0 Human AdventurerSTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0 A New Adventure: Baby StepsSpartan Plank PVP"There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself." ~ Gandalf, The Hobbit Link to comment

Ocelot Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Oh I wonder if I could get there ... I did the plank challenge before and made it to 240 seconds... but that seemed like the absolute limit. OK, I'll give this a go.

In 2012 it was just over an hour... that would be more achievable, but 4 and a half hours?? MY GOODNESS!! I'd hope I have something really distracting below me on my tablet to watch or do.
