Hi All! It's time for Round 3 of our PVP using the daily dares over at darebee. Every day, they post a bodyweight exercise challenge that usually only takes a couple of minutes to complete. This is an open PVP, so anyone can join at any time. It's a great way to try out a bunch of different bodyweight exercises! 

 

If you decide to join, declare what rank you're aiming for and sign up on this spreadsheet. Then, just keep track of how many dares you complete throughout the challenge. You'll get 1 point per dare and 1 point for each extra credit challenge. You must complete each dare on the day that it's posted for it to count - no going back to make it up if you forget!

 

If you're not sure about what counts for the dare or extra credit, post here and we'll rule by what seems to make sense to the most of us. Because this is meant to be a challenge with a wide variety of exercises, we will not allow easier variations of the dares. Some days you might not be able to do an exercise, and that's ok! 

 

The person with the most points at the end of the challenge will be declared the Daredevil

 

Leaderboard

Rocketbikeninja (67 points) - May 2016 Challenge is our current reigning Daredevil.

Geek On Fire (53 points) - April 2016 Challenge

 

Ranks

Titanium: 60 points (30 days of dares + 30 days of extra credit)

Gold: 45 points 

Silver: 30 points 

Bronze: 15 points

Custom: A custom goal of your choice. Just make sure to state your specific target in the spreadsheet. 

 

We're starting the PVP in Week 0, but you should be able to achieve any of these ranks even if you don't join us until Week 1.

Once again, the spreadsheet isn't cooperating. When I first created it, every column was properly blank. Now, there are a bunch of Rank 1s!

I'm in, going for Gold. I'm going to lose 5 days in the middle as I'm at a festival, otherwise I'd push for more.

 

Alt arm/leg plank done. Did 98s in total trying to hit EC, but didn't get more than 35 in one hit.

It's working, it's just that everyone was joint first until a score was entered. Now they're all rank 2! It needs and IF query so if the score is blank it doesn't rank you, but that's beyond what I can do on my phone at the moment.

 

Also, should the title read July 7? Because that's a Thursday?

The current challenge thread says "June 12 to July 7" so that's what I went off of. Weird that it's a Thursday.

 

When I first made the spreadsheet, everything was blank if the score was blank. I'm not sure what happened between then and now. :P

I'm in again.  Also, my score must have been even from last month - I didn't miss an EC.  But I don't remember if that means 66 or 68...

 

 

Current Big Fat Hairy Goals:  Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.  Capable of 50 pushups, 100 situps, 20 pull-ups in one massive superset.  Able to do a bodyweight bench press.  Run 10K 1/week for 1 month.  Earn 2nd Degree Black Belt.

 

Why?  Because I want to model the kind of health and strength that I want my girls to have when they grow up.

The spreadsheet said 34 dares and 33 EC. Think you forgot to update the last EC?

In again! I'm going for gold but will consider anything above my score from last time a win (which was 37). Go go go!

(Yesterday's dare complete without EC, I do these as part of my workouts (but alternating and counting reps) and still struggle with getting more than 5 reps, so holding for any period of time was just not on the table)

I'm in again, although this time I'm taking full advantage of the 'custom' part of it and aiming for twenty points. This is too much fun to miss out on, but I don't want to do what I usually do and take on too much at one time. Going to start on week one rather than now, but if any crop up that really capture my interest I suppose I could make an exception and start early :D

I was thinking of setting that exact same goal this time, actually!

Second time is the charm for jumping lunges!  First attempt was this morning after xfit which was a mistake because today we did "JACKIE" which is 1000m row, 50 thrusters, 30 pull ups for time.  Those thrusters killed my legs.  So fail.  But later on I found that I had about 20 minutes to kill before needing to head to a meeting and I thought, what the heck, try again now and see what happens.  I can't believe it but I did it, with EC.  in a skirt!!  I did swap my sandals for tennis shoes...
