Lunges done with EC.  That's two elbow to knee exercises so far this month...

Knee to elbow lunges done with EC. I assumed you were supposed to do them slow and controlled like you would normal lunges?

Probably a good assumption.  Good form is important.

Back from traveling! I did the dares on a few days, but not all of them. Of course, I picked uncomfortable pushup day to actually do the dare. :P

 

You guys are doing so well! We have some bronze ranks already!

did the tuesday and wednesday dare with EC. Just did 1 minute of punches and gave up for the time being. I will complete this and try for EC on my next attempt, but I already got considerably slower during that one minute. We'll see how it goes...

Speedbag punches completed with EC as a warmup before karate. Definitely felt the burn during these, and was willing the timer to go off. 

As some of my fellow students pointed out, these make you look unusual when viewed from the back.

My shoulders were not having any of the speed bag punches today; I couldn't keep my arms up. Cut them up with normal punches in between for the ranger mini. So done, but no EC.

Punches done with EC.  We talk all the time in karate about how if you want speed, you can't be tight.  As soon as I loosened up and stopped trying so hard, the speed came on.  Shoulders are gonna be sore though...

One arm planks completed with EC.

And, congrats to @Schaengel (and belatedly @RocketbikeNinja) on hitting bronze!

 

3 weeks left, and 44 potential points available, so keep up the good work, everyone.

Anyone else find their shoulders fail way before their core during planks?

 

Mine were pretty close between the two, shoulders definitely presented a balance issue.

 

Done with EC though.
