Jothra Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 So, since it seems like a general consensus, I'll go ahead and put myself as the champion for the challenge, for better or for worse. If opinion swings, I'm open to change. I will, however, exclusively spell it "champeen," and you will need to imagine it like this: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And by the way, one of my favorite scenes of that movie (including the instant replay that was cut out) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikroftt Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Got in some reps last night. Was playing some DDR and every couple of songs did 5 pull-ups. Then while watching Agents of SHIELD, during the commercial breaks I was doing sets of 10 pull-ups and 20 jumping lunges. Today and tomorrow will be hard to get reps in, but I will do my best. If nothing else expect a lot on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lycansbane Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Workout scheduled for today. 60 lunges and 30 "my skill lvl alternate" of pull-ups. I can't do a full pull-up so i can do hangs, rows and inverted rows. My "Main Quest" right now is to be able to do a pull-up eventually so this challenge hits at a great time 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lycansbane Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I got in 60 more lunges and 30 more modified pull-ups. I need to log them. I might try for some more lunges tonight while my daughter is in class. Guess we'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fewer lunges today, so as not to have my butt fall off of my body, but still a'ight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lycansbane Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Logged my stats from yesterday. I'll try to get some more lunges in today since i won't be able to do much in the line of pull-ups while at work and all evening is booked solid. I know that tomorrow will be another workout...not sure what the weekend will hold though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jothra Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Bad news — I couldn't beat the 72. I only made 68, and my limbs are going to fall off. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artemis Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 To be honest, I totally forgot about the mini and only managed to squeeze in a few lunges after work, but before midnight. Great job Jothra! 68 is an amazing number 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Artemis Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Mini-challenge is up! We must complete 1,000 bear crawls in order to have first go at the spider. This one is being operated like a race, so we're going to need to move fast in the beginning. I'll get some bear crawls in tonight.

Jothra Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 You guys are all really nice. Anyway, maybe bear crawls will help work my shoulders back into being actual living shoulders. Only one way to find out! Edit: I have a confession to make. I'm not nearly as fit as I want to be. I'm mostly just really bloody-minded, and willing to DOMS myself into pieces as long as I don't actually injure myself. After all, it's only making me stronger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 We are 25% of the way there, u guise! It's not as bad as I thought it would be on my shoulders, probably because I can keep my arms semi-locked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Okay, MORE THAN HALFWAY! I have to stop now, though. These aren't super-easy on the wrists and forearms. Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to have naturally Popeye-shaped forearms. I may try more in a couple hours if my Extra Mega Rubber Forearms firm back up. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 As of 7:25 p.m. MST, we have have 192 bear crawls remaining. You have all probably figured out by now that I have nothing better to do tonight. Also: nice work, Plitog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artemis Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Food break 'cause dinner is done and then I'll see about finishing up our bear crawls. The hobbits are done already.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 WOOHOO! WE'RE SWITCHING TO LEG RAISES 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artemis Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 ok, guess no more bear crawls for me then. Leg raises it is. Jothra, you were just waiting for us to finish so that you could be set loose... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 It must be my Incredible Flash workout shirt. I feel like I have All the Energyâ„¢. More leg raises! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jothra Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Artemis and Plitog: awesome. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artemis Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 The nerd me is running situational calculations. Since the spider only has 4,000 hitpoints we only need 2,000 for a guaranteed win. And since there are 4 competing teams that will be eating away at those points, we probably only need 1600 or so depending on how fast the others are. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
