zeroh13 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Talk about luck of the draw, here's one that I couldn't do even before the injury. I turned today's diamond push-ups into knee push-ups. I don't think the spreadsheet is doing any of its math magic. Did something happen to the formulas? 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
Magicman Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 If there's an error in the dare (i.e. today's main line says 15, body text says 20) which do we take as the true dare? I did 20 just in case, so if someone needs 5 reps, I got your back! 5 Quote My Profile Link to comment

Arcalia Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Ow. I can apparently do 4 of these at a time. If I try a fifth, I basically just lay there on the floor not getting up at all, because my arms won't push. So that took 4 sets, with a nice long break bewteen each. 2 Quote Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 4 sets of 5... Scapula push ups. Because this girl does her PT. Always. Without fail. yep. always. >.> 2 Quote Link to comment

I most certainly did NOT do diamond push ups XD scapular push ups are done with straight arms, using your shoulder muscles to raise and lower your spine between your shoulder blades.

zeroh13 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Climber taps, 2 sets of 25. I think the hardest part for me was maintaining balance. 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
jonfirestar Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I found the diamond push ups surprisingly easy I didn't know I'd be able to do them at all but I really didn't struggle at all. The tap mountain climbers biggest issue was just started with them. Yuck. No problem but I really hate mountain climbers 2 days down, two dares and two lots of EC, well on my way. 4 Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to comment

Infinity.Creates Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm gonna do it and stick to it this time! I'm gonna be aiming for Silver. Also, has anyone seen the new program?

I'm gonna try and do that one for this challenge. 5 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

tourennatrix Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 ... dang it I could have pwned the mountain climbers. And tomorrow is toe tap hope? FML XD Quote Link to comment
jonfirestar Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Did the toe tap hops mid run this morning. Turns out that there is nothing better to make your legs feel heavy on the return stretch I sincerely dislike any and all the dares for time rather than reps! 3 Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to comment
Xena Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 mountain climber taps were no problem. Today's toe tap hops done but nowhere near extra credit. Sometimes I do better in the afternoon, so maybe I'll try again later. 3 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Toe tap hops done in four sets. I probably could have done it in one go, but my leg was like, nope, we're only doing this 30 seconds at a time. I really dislike the timed ones too. And anything that makes me count higher than 50. 5 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment

Oh yes I much prefer the dares that are in the 5-15 rep range. Like the diamond pushups.
