No, I can't now either... Anyway, if you go on the Darebee home page it shows a gif of the exercise and it swaps sides. Assuming you can alternate then I've done it with EC. If not then let me know and I'll do it again one sided 2 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 18 - CON: 22 - CHA: 11 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.

iatetheyeti Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Done with EC. I wasn't entirely sure whether I was supposed to do just the 50 on one side or do 50 alternating ones, so I figured why not do 50 on each side to be sure. Probably going to feel that one tomorrow morning... 6 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Zahirah Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Windmills done with EC at the end of an intense lower body day. It was a bit like this one time I decided a shot of 151 after a long night of whiskey was the best idea ever, because, pride. FYI, worst idea ever. The power grip was a lot harder than I anticipated. No EC there. 4 Quote Becoming an Amazon Link to comment
Geek On Fire Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Power grip completed with EC. I foolishly though this one would be a bit easier than the last few until about 40 seconds in, then I felt it. 4 Quote Geek On Fire | Level 4 Half Elf Ranger STR: 9 | DEX: 4 | STA: 9 | CON: 14 | WIS: 15 | CHA: 4 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Battle log "No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity.

iatetheyeti Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Done with EC. Wasn't pleasant, but it helped distract me from the fact that next door is having some sort of construction work done, and the drilling might as well be in my living room as the walls are so thin... 3 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Morag Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I did it. I did it. I did it. I did it! Third try was the charm. First try was abandoned to save my omlette. Second try my fitness class buddies abandoned me - wusses! Third try I was listening to 4 non-blonds' song "what's up" before my after-workout-shower and was thinking that I'm just gonna finish the remaining two minutes, a minute in I thought "everything I can do now I spare myself from going through in the last set"... then two minutes were almost up and I had the "what the heck I'm gonna get that EC" and I did. Yay power grip of death! 5 Quote Katrin the Morag Lvl 22 Cadet, half klingon, c-licensed trainer, mother of two, gaming nerd Current Challenge Road map to Level 50 Link to comment
