Relic Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 so when do you plan on starting this and how do you plan to pick teams/positions? Quote To find piece with myselfI must first find a piece of myself Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 so when do you plan on starting this and how do you plan to pick teams/positions? If we get enough interest here, I'll ask the Sorting Hat to sort everyone into teams once the challenge starts next week, and let everyone choose positions from there.

Endor Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 So how many points is a pullup worth? I reckon 4 or 5 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment

Raev Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Since pushups are also part of my next 6 week challenge... Oh I'm so in!

ORazor Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have a humble recommendation to whomever is making the teams: Put Raev and I on opposite teams I'm pretty sure we are both going to be doing lots!

ORazor Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm not sure if I'm planning to do quite as many as you (based on your challenge thread), but maybe I'll make up for it by doing lots of diamond pushups...

mitch_dee Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I guess I will jump in here, but whoever makes teams feel free to make me the fat kid that gets picked last (seriously).

AlexCold Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'd be interested, probably a beater (a bad one) tho. Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Woohoo! Looks like we've got enough people to make 2 teams! I've added a list of everyone to the top of this topic, and will update it as more people come down to join. I'll update and expand on the rules, scoring, etc when the PvP starts, but if you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to post them here. Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.)

BarefootDawsy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 By the way, would you guys like to use the HP house names (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw), or make up our own for this challenge? If the former, which house would you like to be in, if the latter, let me know what name you'd like. No guarantees you'll get what you want, but your feedback is appreciated.

Anim07734 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm indifferent on team name conventions, but I'm solidly Ravenclaw if we go with HP houses. It may also be worth having "try-outs," for lack of a better word. Something to gauge everyone's starting ability, so teams can be divided evenly.

ORazor Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm Slytherin, through and through. Being ambitious and cunning does not make you a bad person! As for tryouts, I don't know about that. Maybe just an indication of what your max push-ups are? Posted using only my thumbs. Quote All men are frauds.

AlexCold Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm a gryffindor or Slytherin. I can bang out ten at a time. Like I said low-end #2 beater.

Elastigirl Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I vote for house names. I'd be a Gryffindor or a Slytherin. I can do 7 push ups in a set. But if we are doing 50+ pushups a day, my endurance stats are low and I would probably end up doing inclines some.

BarefootDawsy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 OK All, to settle the 'Try Outs' debate, here's what we're gonna do. Between now and April 14th, each of us will do a 1 minute pushup AMRAP. (As Many Reps As Possible). Do whatever type of pushups you would normally be doing, or a mix of types. Whatever you want, but aim to get the highest Quidditch score you can in 1 minute. Post your results here before the challenge starts. In case you missed it, here are the points values again: leaning against wall = 0.25 pointson knees = 0.5 pointsstandard pushup = 1 pointsfeet elevated (decline) pushups = 1.5 pointsdiamond pushups = 1.5 pointsclapping pushup = 2 pointsone arm pushups = 3 pointsIf your current workout plan includes a variety of pushups not listed, let me know and we'll work out an appropriate point value. Finally, it's all probably a bit confusing at the moment, but I'll make up some nice, clear instructions before go-time. Good luck! And may the Snitch be ever in your favour! 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
