Lightning Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Me thinks the hobbits will have something to say about that.... Ok, hobbits can have 1.02 times their mileage. We get 1.33. That sounds about right. 1 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to post
Mr_Willes Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 So it's gonna be pushups and squats. I'm much, much better at squatting. Pushup still hinder my shoulder. But i will try to do both. But maybe some teamwork can be used to get some numbers, i know i can push out some nice squat numbers, i just need someone who can put out pushupnumbers to compensate.

Kyalia Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I can contribute a lot of squats!! It's part of my weights workout twice a week too, so I'll be raking in some decent numbers. As for push-ups, I'm lucky if I can do three in a row. I'm really rather weak...

Nightshadow Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I should be able to contribute a decent amount of both but I can focus on push-ups if others excel in squats! I kinda wiped out last challenge by trying to do too many at once but I will spread them throughout the day and see if that works! To the mines! 2 Quote Nightshadow Level 1 Half-Elf Druid Assassin Current Challenge "If You Can't Love Yourself How In The Hell Are You Gonna Love Somebody Else?" - RuPaul Charles Link to post
Anim07734 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'll focus on pushups, since I don't really feel like pistols this week. Probably clapping pushups, though I'll mix in some deficit HSPU for variety, so don't expect huge numbers from me.

Urgan Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm more of a squat type, really, but I can put in a few push-ups to help out a bit there.

blkhole24601 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Rest day today, but tomorrow is bodyweight day so I'll do all of the squats and push-ups then! It'll most likely be regular push-ups and maybe some variation of one-legged squats. I'll research that in a bit.

Sam Ashen Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Maybe I will post the video to prove it but I don't consider burpees and pushups related at all.In a pushup I am going up and down maintaining a plank position.In doing burpees for reps I try to faceplant on the floor then lift the chest up enough to spring the legs through.When I get home I will see what the score is.Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Quote Classless Human Male Warrior - Introduction Height: 1.77m Weight: 93 kg Spoiler Current Maxes: (repsxkg) Squat: 10x122.3, 5x138.2, 3x147; 1x170 Bench Press: 10x79, 5x93, 1x102 Deadlift: 10x152, 5x192, 3x210, 1x229 Overhead Press: 10x52, 5x61, 1x70.3 Current Battle Log: 1707 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program 2017 Challenges: 1701 1702 1703 1704 1705 Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1609 1610 1611 1612 Daily Log:The Daily Grind Form Check: Stronglifts Olympic More FC's: Pistol Squats Want to play?

Today I was able to deal 105 blows and perform 135 dodges in the fight against Balrog. The push ups and 105 of the squats came from my morning xfit class (the rest of the squats are from my squat challenge goal).

Kagetsukai Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sam, you are my hero and I love you! As a note from myself, I did 100 push ups at work and then went to class. I opened my big fat mouth about doing a push up challenge so Coach Vic decided to "help out"; add another 75 push ups from the class. I will be a T-Rex tomorrow, there's no buts about it. 4 Quote Link to post
