Xena Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Round 13 of our PVP using the Daily Dares at Darebee.com starts Sunday Dec 31! All are welcome. Every day, they post a bodyweight exercise challenge no equipment needed, every day. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're not. Every day there are two levels of difficulty. 1) just get it done, over the course of the day, and 2) Extra Credit (EC,) which usually means all in one shot. Either do one or the other. You get either 1 or 2 points per day, no more. Miss the day (in your time zone*) and you miss the points. Need a variation? Not a problem, but no points for you. [Depending on your timezone you can request to spill into the next day, but you need to select a consistent 24-hour period that you'll stick to...if this seems confusing, don't worry about it, it probably doesn't affect you. If you have questions, ask] 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, and after 2 times through, I've personally found a bunch of new exercises based on what's been really hard. 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. 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. Some days you might not be able to do an exercise, and that's ok! If you like, try modifying or scaling the dare to something you can do. I've added a new column where you can keep track of dares you've modified and completed. The modified dares don't "count' toward "official" totals, but we can still reward you with creative titles if you like. Sometimes Darebee likes to be cute and offer extra extra credit. That's cool...go for it, we'll all be impressed. Let's keep it simple and leave those out of our calculations. The person with the most points at the end of the challenge will be declared the Daredevil! (other titles are available, inquire within.) Leaderboard Round 12: WhiteGhose (68 points!!) Nov/Dec 2017 Round 11: Momsjm (62 points) April/May 2017 Round 10: Magicman (64 points) Round 9: Alcnedlor (60 points) Jan/Feb 2017 Round 8: JonFirestar (61 points) Round 7: Xena (59 points) Round 6: Xena (54 points) Round 5: Zeroh (48 points) Round 4: Rocketbikeninja (62 points) Round 3 (Tie): Rocketbikeninja and mom2sjm (64 points) Round 2: Rocketbikeninja (67 points) - May 2016 Challenge Round 1: Geek On Fire (53 points) - April 2016 Challenge Ranks Titanium: 60 points (e.g., 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 1 (of the 5-week challenge), but you can start any time and still rack up some points!

By the way...it's a little confusing that this challenge cycle runs Jan 1 - Feb 4. They usually start on Sundays...which I also find confusing because starting on a Monday is more natural to me. Anyway....this particular PvP is starting on Dec 31 as indicated :-) 2 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment

I haven't tried today's yet, but I have a feeling that going for EC on the 4-min hold will be no joke. 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
doctorake Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Agreed on the EC, maybe I should have tried it before lifting. Quote OCEAN RANGER YOUTUBE ADVENTURES 2 X IRONMAN, 3 X half IRONMAN, 3 X GORUCK Challenge, 2 X GORUCK back to back, Way too many GORUCK lights Link to comment
PrincessMononoke Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Would this be doable for a preggo to keep up with ? Since its body weight and not actually weight lifting I think so. The workout today looks super doable. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Maigs Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Done with EC! It's amazing how much it burns just to hold your (unweighted) arms out like that 1 Quote Maigs Resurrects From the Dead Link to comment

You know your body and know what would be ok to do. Excited to have you here and totally encourage modifying any that seem like they should be modified. 1 hour ago, doctorake said: This dare sucked pretty bad to do all at once.

WhiteGhost Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Marchers and elbow plank both done for EC 1 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment
doctorake Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 The plank was tough for me. No idea why I could not get over 2 minutes with a single hold but I had to split it up. The part that is odd to me is I can do the full3 minutes in a push ups position. 1 Quote OCEAN RANGER YOUTUBE ADVENTURES 2 X IRONMAN, 3 X half IRONMAN, 3 X GORUCK Challenge, 2 X GORUCK back to back, Way too many GORUCK lights Link to comment
