Br0din Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 We all know that a true Warrior never lets a fellow Warrior skip leg day. But lets be honest beach body season is closing in and we worked on da wheelz last time with the 50/50 Squat challenge. So as your Guild Leaders we are encouraging you to embrace your inner bro and remember every day is upper body day. The challenge will target two of the biggest muscle groups that'll help you fill out that summer time tank or deep v tee. You're going to need two barbells, as you'll be super setting different movements with different weights, and a watch or your phone because its going to be timed. With a strict 25 minute cap, you'll complete 5 rounds of: Max Rep Bench Press @ 75% of your body-weight Max Rep Barbell(EZ Curl bar) Curl @ 25% of your body-weight This challenge should be approached with a bit of a strategy. You want to go to your (Max Reps - 1) on each of these sets, because you know there's going to be another round coming shortly thereafter. With a 25 minute cap, you have 5 minutes per round, which should allow you your necessary 3-5 minutes of rest time for muscle/energy recovery between sets. That said, this can very well burn a bit as you should always be keeping an eye on the clock. Options for our more veteran and our newly recruited Warriors. Advanced : 100% body-weight bench and 35% body-weight curls or chin ups Scaled : (if your 1RM is less than your body-weight) 70% of your 1RM for bench and 10% body-weight in dumbbells(curl both at the same time) Scores will be all rounds added together. A score of 120 will net you 1.5/1.5 to STR/STA, 90 will net you 1/1, and a score of 60 will get you .75/.75. We'll run this challenge until 6/4 to give you guys ample time to get your bench on. Get after it! stolen written by @brahway Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full. Wheymen ...and, if you die...

sweetale Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 This sounds fun and gives me another reason to find a new gym. The bench would get swarmed by gym vultures the second I started curling. Quote Lvl 2 Saiyan Warrior & Pokémon Master Battle Log /Challenge 1 Link to comment
kwesadilo Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I figure I should do one of these eventually, and now is convenient, since I'm deloading and will probably have some left in the tank for most of this challenge. I didn't realize we were still doing attribute points. 1 Quote "I've got to look like I could kill someone when I take my shirt off." - Daniel Craig Epic Quest character Level 13 Human Warrior STR - 63 DEX - 22 STA - 16 CON - 47 WIS - 48 CHA - 7 Link to comment

Br0din Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 And score is based on total reps? Is there an adjustment to the score or reward for doing the advanced weights? There is medium and hard categories with the milestones stated. But you can expect@flex Luthor and myself and maybe others to go into competition for most reps. Feel free to throw down with us or just hit the milestones. 1 Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full. Wheymen ...and, if you die...

Rookiebeotch Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Oooou. I wish I was in better condition for this, but I'm gonna put in as many attempts as possible in next few weeks. This is a fun one. Though I feel like it should be bench+pullups. Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment

Dairekor Unwalath Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 So I'm new to this site and I decided I wanted to be a Warrior to get strong. The problem is I only have 60 pounds of Dumbbells. Could I make this work with that much or do I have to get more? Quote Link to comment

Take those weights you have and start moving. Learn. Practice. Establish a new lifestyle. If you need more shit, then you will get more shit, but that isnt near the top of your to-do list. 2 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment

kwesadilo Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Attempted on normal mode. Bodyweight: 185 lbs. Bench @ 75%: 135 lbs. Curls @ 25%: 45 lbs. Very convenient numbers. I was able to do this while occupying just one bar. 12/17 9/14 9/10 7/10 7/11 Total: 106 Not bad for having neither curled nor done more than 8 reps of anything in years. 1 Quote "I've got to look like I could kill someone when I take my shirt off." - Daniel Craig Epic Quest character Level 13 Human Warrior STR - 63 DEX - 22 STA - 16 CON - 47 WIS - 48 CHA - 7 Link to comment
