jonfirestar Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi All! Jon Firestar here, covering while Xena is off galavanting and running marathons! Round 9 of our PVP using the Daily Dares at Darebee.com has begun! All are welcome. Every day, they post a bodyweight exercise challenge no equipment needed, every day. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're not. Every day there are two levels of difficulty. 1) just get it done, over the course of the day, and 2) Extra Credit (EC,) which usually means all in one shot. Either do one or the other. You get either 1 or 2 points per day, no more. Miss the day (in your time zone) and you miss the points. Need a variation? Not a problem, but no points for you. This is an open PVP, so anyone can join at any time. It's a great way to try out a bunch of different bodyweight exercises, and after 2 times through, I've personally found a bunch of new exercises based on what's been really hard. If you decide to join, declare what rank you're aiming for and sign up on this spreadsheet. Then, just keep track of how many dares you complete throughout the challenge. If you're not sure about what counts for the dare or extra credit, post here and we'll rule by what seems to make sense to the most of us. Some days you might not be able to do an exercise, and that's ok! If you like, try modifying or scaling the dare to something you can do. I've added a new column where you can keep track of dares you've modified and completed. The modified dares don't "count' toward "official" totals, but we can still reward you with creative titles if you like. Sometimes Darebee likes to be cute and offer extra extra credit. That's cool...go for it, we'll all be impressed. Let's keep it simple and leave those out of our calculations. The person with the most points at the end of the challenge will be declared the Daredevil! (other titles are available, inquire within.) Leaderboard Round 8: JonFirestar (61 points) Round 7: Xena (59 points) Round 6: Xena (54 points) Round 5: Zeroh (48 points) Round 4: Rocketbikeninja (62 points) Round 3 (Tie): Rocketbikeninja and mom2sjm (64 points) Round 2: Rocketbikeninja (67 points) - May 2016 Challenge Round 1: Geek On Fire (53 points) - April 2016 Challenge Ranks Titanium: 60 points (30 days of dares + 30 days of extra credit) Gold: 45 points Silver: 30 points Bronze: 15 points Custom: A custom goal of your choice. Just make sure to state your specific target in the spreadsheet. We're starting the PVP in Week 0, but you should be able to achieve all but the highest of these ranks even if you don't join us until Week 1. 3 Quote - strava - myfitnesspal - Instagram 2019 Roadmap Spoiler " Always aim for something stupidly crazy." - Charlie Quinn 2019 Races: Cliveden MTR 06/01 | Nuts Challenge 02/03 | Reading Half Marathon 17/03 | W.A.R 27/04 | RRDW 11/05 | Nuclear Oblivion 19/05 | Man vs Lakes 20/07 | Spartan Trifecta Weekend 05-06/10 | OCRWC 11-13/10 Current Challenge: First Steps Previous Challenges: 1| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 Link to comment

A great feeling! Yeah, I wasn't sure I could do it either. But EC makes it fun to try. At 20 seconds left, I felt like my arms were about to fall off, but I kept thinking just hold on for a little while longer. This is my first time in this PVP and I'm excited. 2 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Morag Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Squat holds done. Only way to do them: with EC. That is one thing I noticed every time I joined in the daily dare PVPs: there's things that are easy to you. Okay easy might be an overstatement, but doable, you know. Then there's the things that you push yourself and are surprised you could get the EC, or heck, do them at all. And then there are the things that utterly blow your mind. The ones you try multiple times and either just barely get done, or can't do at all. There's something for everyone. Everyone gets to feel awesome about themselves at some point. And we all grow for trying. --- "Travel lightly, for what you bring with you becomes part of your landscape." -Anne Bishop 3 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
Alcnedlor Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Don't they forgot to write "on a chair" after squat hold ? ^^ I lost my balance, I fell, I struggled... decidedly not an exercise made for me ;-) But one point is still good 4 Quote Link to comment
jonfirestar Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just no way I'm getting EC with the squat holds. I got 30 seconds at the most.
