TFP Situp Challenge
 

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

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

30 today and 25 yesterday

Total: 75 :P

Oh, new thread :)

I did 50 today. That was painful :lol:

Gotta work on those abs..

75+50 = 125

125 + 135 = 260

-Tamerlain

260 + 35 = 295

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

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

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

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. :p

415 + 50 = 465

Do situps on a Pilates ball count?

465+45=510

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

817 + 100 = 917

I'm not nearly as diligent as Supple Cow :(

917+45=962

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

962 + 50 = 1012

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

1012 + 700 = 1712

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

1712 + 30 = 1742

I weep.

1742 + 550 = 2292

:D We need more players.

2292 + 620 = 2912

[Is there was a bike challenge?...you know, on how many kliks :D (i <3 metric)]


full situps-

2912 + 45= 2957

You should start one. :thumbsup:

2957 + 100 = 3057

hey

thanks for the vote, I will :)

Come bike around the world with us! - http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=114471

3057 + 50 = 3107

3107+0=3107

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

Not even one? :cry:

*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

I'm so there. Thanks!

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

+10 more!

3137 + 10 = 3147

3147+50=3197

3197+40=3237

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

3237+480 (3 days worth)= 3717

3717 + 75 = 3792

as I said, still weak... :(

3792 + 8 = 3800

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...

3875 + 600

4475... (does 25 more)

4500

"Body massage - GO!"

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

4800 + 5210 = 10010


(Cumulative over a ten-day period.)

10010 + 2575 = 12585


Anyone else game? :surprised:

[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

I did four and hurt my back :(
12615 + 4 = 12619

12,619 + 330

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

Motivational music, perhaps.

12,949

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