TFP Situp Challenge - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

jt6879 · 12-13-2006, 12:55 AM

I was inspired by the push up challenge thread and thought, well hell I have to do them anyway for training I may as well have fun with it!! Plus what good does it do to have gigantic arms ie.. Push up challenge and a big gut?

So come on lets do it!!

I cant think of a target number, so lets just say 5000 in as quick a time as possible!!

Come on peope lets give it hell!

Ill start, 20 today so far, probably 50 more to come! By 0700 pst

skier · 12-13-2006, 09:38 AM

I've been totally lax on my pushups and situps...

30 today and 25 yesterday

Total: 75 :P

ktspktsp · 12-13-2006, 05:26 PM

Oh, new thread

I did 50 today. That was painful

Gotta work on those abs..

75+50 = 125

Tamerlain · 12-14-2006, 12:36 AM

125 + 135 = 260

-Tamerlain

jt6879 · 12-16-2006, 09:52 PM

260 + 35 = 295

Supple Cow · 02-26-2007, 04:16 PM

How did I miss this? I just started my own work on sit-ups and crunches. I'll start with my last set:

295 + 70 = 365

dj_vee · 02-27-2007, 03:52 PM

Nobody said anything about a situp/math challenge. I must have had a long day because I blanked for way to long on simple addition.

365 + 50 = 415

Hektore · 02-28-2007, 06:46 PM

If I remember crunches are better for your back than sit ups? anyone?

Supple Cow · 03-02-2007, 04:24 PM

I think crunches are just harder to screw up when it comes to form, so they tend to reduce back injuries. I'm obviously not an expert, though.

415 + 50 = 465

Pip · 03-06-2007, 12:16 PM

Do situps on a Pilates ball count?

465+45=510

Supple Cow · 03-07-2007, 06:53 PM

Ah, I always forget to put this stuff here when I get into the groove. I did a total of 207 yesterday and the day before. And another 100 today.

510 + 307 = 817

Supple Cow · 03-09-2007, 07:52 AM

817 + 100 = 917

Pip · 03-09-2007, 01:23 PM

I'm not nearly as diligent as Supple Cow

917+45=962

Supple Cow · 05-07-2007, 02:48 PM

I keep forgetting about this thread. I'll just throw in the 150 I did last night.

962 + 50 = 1012

Jetée · 05-07-2007, 02:59 PM

Yay! I'm better at these than the push-ups, but it doesn't mean that I don't want to improve.

1012 + 700 = 1712

Stoked · 05-10-2007, 06:04 AM

My poooor... underused... weak..... abs

1712 + 30 = 1742

I weep.

Jetée · 05-11-2007, 12:44 PM

1742 + 550 = 2292

We need more players.

Jetée · 05-14-2007, 07:55 PM

2292 + 620 = 2912

blue_eyes · 05-16-2007, 03:37 PM

[Is there was a bike challenge?...you know, on how many kliks

(i <3 metric)]

full situps-

2912 + 45= 2957

You should start one.

2957 + 100 = 3057

Hahaha sorry guys, had to do it. Way to go to all of you though

Jetée · 05-19-2007, 02:42 PM

Not even one?

*woke up late, and haven't had solid, good food in over 5 days, so this is a big surprise at how terribly weak I have become*

3107 + 20 = 3127

10 this morning when I woke up!
3127+10 = 3137

+10 more!

3137 + 10 = 3147

counting air-pedaling situps...which suck bad..

Xazy · 05-27-2007, 04:18 AM

3237+480 (3 days worth)= 3717

kurty[B] · 06-06-2007, 11:03 AM

3717 + 75 = 3792

Jetée · 06-30-2007, 06:38 AM

as I said, still weak...

3792 + 8 = 3800

edhead_09 · 07-09-2007, 08:06 PM

3800 + 75 = 3875
normal for me i guess...and i had a question, how do you subscribe to threads and what not? im curious because i just joined...

Plan9 · 07-15-2007, 01:01 PM

3875 + 600

4475... (does 25 more)

4500

"Body massage - GO!"

Supple Cow · 07-19-2007, 03:10 PM

I have done a lot more than this since I was here last, but I'll just add the 300 from yesterday (youch for me)... It hurts to laugh today. And to move in pretty much any direction.

4800

Jetée · 09-06-2007, 12:29 AM

4800 + 5210 = 10010

(Cumulative over a ten-day period.)

Jetée · 09-22-2007, 06:57 PM

10010 + 2575 = 12585

Anyone else game?

soccerchamp76 · 09-27-2007, 04:23 PM

[threadjack]Weighted sit-ups and/or crunches are better. There is a misconception that you should train your abdominals differently than any other muscle. If you are training biceps, would you do 150 reps with a 5lb dumbbell or 10 reps with a 30lb dumbbell?[/threadjack]

30 weighted (45lb dumbbell) crunches + 12585 = 12615

MSD · 09-29-2007, 08:00 AM

I did four and hurt my back

12615 + 4 = 12619

Plan9 · 11-06-2007, 06:38 PM

12,619 + 330

Holy hell, I just did 330 without stopping while listening to the Metal Gear Solid soundtrack.

Motivational music, perhaps.

Endurance matters too, bro. Try doing 150 bench presses with just the bar.
