The Pushup Quidditch Cup (Live Game Thread)


Recommended Posts

10 decline pushups for DA!

 

Well done Chris!  Diamonds and declines unlocked!

 

Ok, so I wanted to finish big, but I had a social engagement. I kept excusing myself to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes to do declines with my feet on the edge of the tub.

Some smartass asked "what are you doing in there, haha?".

Me, deadpan: "push-ups"

450 declines for Dumbledore's Army.

Finished at 20:58 pdt

 

This pleases me :P

Rest assured, there is going to be none of this funny business with awarding Gryffindor extra points last minute....

Anyways - Congratulations and thanks for playing! 


 


Great work to everyone for all the push-ups, the consistency, in some cases the determination to play in the face of injury, the teamwork and the Potter banter! 


 


Looking forward to future PvPs after this :D

Thanks Barefoot Dawsy and Talvi for your moderator work on this. It was fun cheering and competing with everyone.

Thank you, everybody. It was a lot of fun!

My team may have lost, but I gained a nemesis. After all every superhero needs an evil genius - or vice versa (I'm looking at you, Elastigirl) ;)

Lot of fun though I didn't contribute as consistently as I intended. Pushups are good for what ails you...right up there with squats.

My new AMRAP was 39 (up by 1 pushup) yesterday morning, but it didn't feel like a good set so I may have to try again and see if I can hit 40+.

At challenge beginning my amrap for regular pushups was 14. It is now 20

For HIndu it was 12 (that's reps not points) and challenge end was 15

Wow guys, great finish! Sorry for not being around to see it through. Congrats to all of you! I'm very impressed at how well everyone did, and how much awesome there is in the room.

Thanks again for keeping the challenge alive and putting in so much effort.

Here's looking to see you all for the next one!

Would be cool if we could do a different exercise each week, I got bored of doing push ups every week....

 

A bit late, but my brain immediately went "TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT" (Squats/Pushups/Planks) :P

Fun.Like the idea! But what about pull ups (can be rows for those who can't do pulls) instead of planks. Planks in large numbers are pretty much a waste of time.

I don't know what a triwizard tournament means but it sounds like fun :D

 

I just don't understand how!!!!  :tongue:

Fair enough on the planks.   Are there enough variations of rows and pull-ups for everyone?   Perhaps, lunges?   What else is there....

OMG YES. Let's do this next! 

 

Squats, lunges, push-ups, triceps dips, burpees? Just throwing some ideas!
