Endor Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 This is a bit of fun, pushup PVP between @Blaidd (scout) and @dominic (ranger). Expect dominic to pull Blaidd's leg as much as possible along the way but also encourage each other Anyone else is welcome to join in, in fact the more the merrier so please come along for the ride, even if you join late or whatever. Rules:You need to "score" 150 points a week for the last 5 weeks of the challenge. If you do more than 150 that's good for you but the extra doesn't count towards the PVP, this is capped to prevent psychotic competitive injury (mainly from the berserk warrior oh ok mainly to stop my arms falling off because I'm too competitive!) You can score points by doing different types of pushups:- leaning against wall = 0.25 points- on knees = 0.5 points- standard pushup = 1 points- feet elevated pushups = 1.5 points- clapping pushup = 2 points- one arm pushups = 3 points Special note: If you haven't progressed to full pushups yet, count your level as 1 point, i.e. if you can only do knees pushups you can count those as 1 point. If you can do regular and you get tired so have to switch to knees those are 0.5 points. The prize:Whoever completes the least number of points has to donate equivalent of US$10 to a charity of whoever completes the most number of points choice. 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

Endor Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Cool, should be fun! I'll look at blaidd's goals and modify slightly to fit. I must say 24 a day was intimidating, probably look at a weekly total instead so we can split up as we see fit. I want to cap it though so we don't go crazy!

Blaidd Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Warning guys doing push-ups right after bench presses isn't a good idea. I almost made 4 and decided to change over to wall push-ups. It was hard going but I managed to crank out 75 before almost collapsing against the wall, lolSent with awesomeness from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Half Faerie (Sidhe) Scout | Black Belt Kitchen Ninja "A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort" - Herm Albright You're welcome to skype me (audriwolf) too but let me know who you are My challenge Link to comment
joedog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think I may be in on this one. Need to think it over a bit and make sure I'm not overextending myself. To make sure I understand, since I can't do a full pushup yet, my 1 point would be knee push ups? Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk Quote joedog, level 15 Monk Current Challenge Link to comment

I know this hasn't officially started yet, so consider this a testing day:10 pushups at 11:45am - shut and locked the office door, barely got that last one out!To be continued later today...

redtomato501 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 To be continued later today... And... I never did any more. It would be foolish of me to take this challenge on. *hear the trumpets, hear the pipers* PVP kicks off today party people, get your pushup on What? If the challenge starts on a Monday, wouldn't the second week of a challenge also begin on a Monday? In any case, against my better judgement, I'm in. Never let it be said I wasn't foolish. 1 Quote Current Challenge #39 - 15.02.23 | Challenges: #38, #29 | Fitocracy: redtomato501 Link to comment
