Obitim Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi there, I recently hit 34 and so after after some deliberation I decided to do the 60 day PLP Challenge. There were 3 factors that affected this:1) Reading the article that Steve produced the other week 2) Wanting to raise a bit of money for charity (this also means that I can't back out or give up as people have already donated!) 3) Guzzi told me that I should do it I've put together a spreadsheet of my progress so far and taken some 'before pictures' (well, they were taken today, so sort of before!) however, I shall have to post them at a later date as my works PC is running terribly today! This first week has been pretty easy up to now but I now that going forward it;s going to become a hell of a killer! But that;s all part of levelling up your life I guess! Wish me luck!

I expect to see progress here! No slacking. You gonna post to let us know how you're finding it as the challenge progresses too? You know, which particular level of Hell you've attained, lol!

Obitim Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Of course! You've not done it unless you share it with people! Quote Link to comment
Obitim Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 So I'm on day 10...so far the arm work isn't too bad, what has surprised me is my upper thighs, they are really sore, more than i thought they'd be given that usually my legs are pretty strong! Quote Link to comment
Obitim Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 So I missed my first day yesterday (bloody iron gym made the door crack when I was doing pull ups!) and I felt a bit wretched...carried on with the training today so up to 20 of each...still feeling ok and the training is deffo giving me some gains! I shall report back in 10 days after my first month! Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Way to go! There's definitely something to be said for it, good luck! 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
xanjra Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I need to be able to do a pull up before I join you. For now I will just watch your progress! Good luck.

Obitim Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You will!I started off without being able to do a single pull up but worked hard and now can!Only problem is my pull up bar at home makes my door crack! 1 Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 How's it going? What number are you on now? Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Obitim Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Morning! I'm on a terminal that has browsers so old that Google docs struggles! I've missed on day so I'm up to 28 as of today! It's going pretty well, I'm finding the time in work to train so that's a bonus but fitting it round my workout can be interesting! It's starting to bring the pain now though! This weekend should be interesting, I'm off to Blackpool for a retro gamer show so I'm gonna have to try and find some bars to hang off while walking round! How's the cutting going? Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Haha! That should be amusing! I wonder what people will make of THAT, lol! The cut is going well, but no real evidence of it actually doing anything yet. I guess I just gotta wait it out. I miss beer, though I suspect that's going to be rectified this weekend... I don't think I can wangle my way out of it and it's not like it'll take much arm twisting, haha!

Obitim Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm not too hot on the science of cutting but I reckon that one weekend won't kill it! (I'm pretty sure I can find a study on the internet to prove it too!) Yeah, i was thinking that, although it we go to the Pleasure Beach then I can use the roller coasters! or some sort of kids park as well! Gotta make a start today as well, will do my first set in a min, 4 sets of 7 today! 1 Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ugh! Yeah, I need to go do pushups for the Quidditch cup. Bollocks! Why did I sign up for this again...? Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Obitim Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 OOh! What's that? Looks interesting! Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's in the PvP forum, it's a 6 week competition with 4 teams, each "match" runs Monday - Friday. Each player is allocated a position on the team and everyone does pushups. The scoring is complicated, it is Quidditch after all, haha! Check it out! Maybe you can join in next challenge. Or put your name down for if someone can't play, gets sick or hurt, you know. Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Obitim Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ah! Could be an option! I think I'll stickwith mine for another 4 weeks for now...nearly done for today! 1 Quote Link to comment
Obitim Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm now half way through! had to take a couple of days off due to no hanging stuff in Blackpool however, up to 31 today and feeling fine...pictures will be following tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment
Obitim Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 The half way point...not sure I can see a lot of difference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vY1IcbdbPOUHFTVVNpSTM1REk/edit?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vY1IcbdbPOSDQ5emxPUkF6T1k/edit?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Haha! I assumed it would give me access to both docs when I did the first request, nope! Got to request access for the second one too, lol!

Obitim Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 That sucks! Sorry dude...feel free to request...Not much of a change tho! Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hmmm... I think because the photos are from different angles it's hard to do a direct comparison. Couldn't pass judgement on that one I'm afraid. Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Obitim Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Nah, that;s cool...I'm gonna say not much of a difference for now! See how I am in another 30 days! Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think you'll see a bid difference by then. Have you seen much improvement with your exercises? Mzmtg has made massive improvements, it's pretty impressive stuff. I think I'm definitely going to incorporate this (with different exercises) into the next challenge.
