NeverThatBored Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 It's not just you. Seconded.

RocketbikeNinja Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Done with EC. Thank goodness this was abs and upper body; I ran a 10K race as a personal challenge this morning, and I was worried today would be something legs related... 2 Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

iatetheyeti Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Done, but no EC. Partly because I did them at work (safe option because my block of flats is made of paper and jumping of any sort is a bad idea), and partly because I actually really just dislike jumping things... 3 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Raxie Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Totally fell of the wagon last week with this challenge because of some crazy sauce things happening in my life BUT I did manage to do yesterdays seated punches with EC. If I get it every day this week with EC then I'll be able to hit silver. Sounds like a huge challenge but I shall certainly try!
