Foe fitness forum challenges

[Tango_Oscar]

Would be interesting to do forum challenges?

What the challenges are about

The challenges are not about stroking your ego, they are about getting you active and perhaps challenging your fitness in ways you wouldn't normally challenge it. This is why the challenges will try and steer away from, "60 Press Ups GO!".

Be warned now that if this thread turns into a, "Ha! I'm fitter than you!" or a battle of egos, it will be closed immediately.

Cheating

As said above, these challenges are not about stroking your ego, therefore if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself and if we or other forum members suss out that you have been cheating you will just look like an idiot.

We understand that it's not possible for everyone to post proof, but everybody here knows how to upload a picture from your phone, so why not a video? It's not a necessity, but it would be nice.

Static Hold Challenge

This challenge is basically, hold four uncomfortable positions for as long as you can and the over all time is your result, biggest time wins. In between each exercise there is to be 30 seconds rest.

First position is a Wall Sit. This is a wall sit:

As soon as your knees break the 90degree angle, the wall sit is over and you move onto the next exercise.

Second position is a Plank. This is a plank:

As soon as your body is no longer in a straight line, the plank is over and you move onto the next exercise.

Third Position is a Static Pull Up Hold. Basically just grab your pull up bar and hang there for as long as possible, as soon as you let go, move on to the last exercise.

Last position is the Iron Cross. Stand with your arms out so you look like a cross, as soon as your arms drop from 90degrees away from your body, the exercise is over.

Should be in this format

1st exercise: 1:00

2nd exercise: 2:00

3rd exercise: 1:30

4th exercise: 3:00

Overall time: 9:00 (remember, the 30 seconds rests will be included in the over all time)

overhand grip, hands directly above your shoulders is more friendly on your joints.

you must do all the exercises as its a challenge of them all.

And put your ego away mate or everybodys gonna be saying i can do the pull up one for hours...

less arms to hold up, but less shoulder endurance.

same could be said for pull ups, scrawnier people dont have to hold up as much weight but dont have as strong lats or w.e

all these exercises will be power to weight as its more interesting

[Steroids]

tis all about the persons muscle to weight ratio.

Yeah i said that in an earlier post lol.

its better to have everybody compete in bodyweight exercises than some 20stone cunt benching loads more than the average person cause hes fat as fuck

Also were you get your pull up bar, some say argos ones are ok but not had much good expirence with "good" products from them  :mellow:

Also tin tin, if you come on here like you got someone to prove people are just going to laugh at you, so regardless, if people lie then as stated before they just lieing to themselfs and look like a twat when exposed.
