After some discussion in the Bulking Games thread, I decided to start this:
One challenge a week (I am going to do mine on Saturdays and maybe Tuesdays). Throw up some times and then the next week we can add a new one. I will try to refrain from things that require stuff most people might not have access to but I make no promises. Will add suggested weights and if you decide to up or down then put that up to. Just give your time and any mods you make to the routine. Maybe we will all get a little less fat.
First one will be pretty no frills:
10 clapping pushups/ 40 yd shuttle- AMRAP in 10mins
Knock out 10 clapping pushups, down 40 yds and back. Your score is the total number of rounds completed in 10mins. Like I said train this as much as you want during the month and just keep throwing up your scores.
ehhh running…
J/k I’m in. I’m about a mile from a HS so should be easy enough to do.

Ha I figured we could start with something simple.
Also, after putting this out there, how do people feel about this being a weekly thing? I just thought people (ie this guy with the conditioning ADD) might get bored with the same challenge for a month. Or would you rather keep working at it to see how much you improve?
Weekly. This particular one isn’t interesting enough for me to do more than once.
I agree, weekly or bi-monthly is probably better.
Alright. We will make it a Friday morning regular posting then since I started this thing on Friday.
Also if anyone has a better thread title feel free to share. I am not that creative.

Friday is probably the best day anyway honestly since most people won’t want it to interfere with their weekly training.
Yeah if it’s weekly I’ll just set aside a workout or day that I’ll attempt the challenge on, kind of my cardio for the day.

That’s kind of what I was going to do. Have Saturday morning be my conditioning day.
Clapping push-ups…I suck at these. Will be good practice!!
I was gonna complete the first challenge this weekend, and then beer happened…

Yeah, not beer but pre-baby arrival list of chores that broke me down. Will get out there today though. This one isn’t bad enough to really effect my lifts I don’t think so it should be fine.

Ya, I will try to get to the local HS tonight after lifting.
Ok, so I still haven’t done this. Been raining all week. Will try to get it today, but maybe I will need to pick a non-running one next week.

Lol, ya it’s been raining all week here too.
Okay, so I did it last night in the rain. Got my wife to sit in the car and blow the horn for time. I got 8. I had 4 through 2 minutes then I completely burnt out. I also tweaked my knee slipping in the rain. Going to try to loosen it up today on the bike before squats.
So does everyone want a different one today or keep going with the same one?

Just throw another one out there, I think people will compete them when they complete them.
Maybe, do two a week: 1 indoor & 1 outdoor. Or 1 lifting & 1 running?
Okay, so since the last one didn’t get done feel free to knock that one out this week if you have time. This weeks is one that can go either indoor or outdoor.
50 dumbbell “Manmakers”
Take 2 30lb dumbells or kettlebells and assume the plank position.
Left arm Row-> Pushup-> Right Arm Row-> Jump to your feet like a burpee-> Clean weight to shoulders-> Press-> Back to Start
That is 1 rep. Knock them out as fast as you can and record your time.
