Wasn't really feeling it today, I haven't been feeling 100% at all lately but went for it anyway.

100x8, I was expecting 10 or so :(

Fuck you hal0 :okay: :p But let's be honest, anyone here that can press their own weight with dumbbells is in good shape! Keep up the good work boys.

Halo, I've said this before and I'll say it again. FUUUUUUU

Have you lost 10 lbs recently? :troll:

Berz out.

Find the weight you can do 5 reps at and post it up :) Don't worry Brah you'll be there one day :)

Berz out.

Can't do 80s....cuz im weak. lol

So I did 56lbs x 20. :okay:

I think if i had a spotter, i could prolly do 65s x 10 or stn close.

I lose with long arms.

0 @ 60lbs, :okay:

You have to start somewhere. I'd say find the weight you can comfortably do 10 reps of and concentrate hard on your form. Flex and squeeze your chest through the entire rep and hold at the top for a full "one-onethousand". Arms down square to 90 degrees so you're feeling the stretch at the bottom end of the rep. If you do weight that's comfortable for you and focus on your form I guarantee you will see increased strength in as little as 3 weeks. Once you've got the basics down you can start to push and see what you can really press without the risk of hurting yourself.

EDIT - And that goes for any exercise on any muscle. Do your research, watch YouTube videos of proper technique before you try something new. I can't count how many guys I see rocking their bodies on the seated row machine, yanking back with their upper body with weight that's way too much for them, and pulling the cable barely half way to their abdomen and thinking they're strong. I'm waiting for someone's lower back to explode. By doing exercises totally wrong you're only cheating yourself while looking like an idiot in the process.

100x16 @215lbs

I am in the 0 rep club for this challenge. I might try the dip, chinup, and squat challenge some time this week to see where I am at.

Also, I love how the activity of this thread exploded again once the challenge involved bench press

The idea if you can't do 1 rep at the specified weight is to find the highest weight you can do 5 reps at :)

Berz out.

Derek_N84 85x12 @ 167lb :woot: did more than I thought I could

Can't wait to try this on Thursday!

I have to give this another shot 8 reps is BUSCH LEAGUE! I've got hot dates on Friday and Sat, extra motivation to crank out more reps :fuckyea:

PS - strykn you cheated, should be doing 105's :p

80lbs x 17 @ 162lbs

Did these at home and did better than I expected!

we really need vids for this one some of these numbers are pretty high anyways. I managed to get 13 with 85 @ 158 the 80s were taken for so long

Strykn should be doing 110's but his DB's only go up to 100's....

Berz out.

Says the guy who hasn't even posted a video himself. :yuno:

I think only, me, Berz and Matlock have contributed a video or two. I'll do mine again tonight with a video.

From now on Halo has to do a weekly weigh in to participate. FOO

the heaviest dumbbells in my school's fitness centre were 50s :okay: i weigh 120-ish lbs
14 x 50 lbs @ 120 lbs
don't count me in for the challenge since i didn't use 60s. just posting my progress

for ppl who are scared of the Challenge
we are not grading you and going to come to your door and slap you
this is all for fun and it will push all of us to go harder well it has for me. dont worry if u cant do half your b/weight just go down its all good. Rome was not built in one day and i did not get like this over night

Tried the 90lbs again today and did worse than last time. Ah.

Need adequate rest for chest. I'll try it once again on the last day.
