Hey guys,
I really liked the idea RRxtar had years ago, and later taken up by Berzerker, to have a weekly fitness challenge.
Every week I'll try to put up a new challenge, the idea is to inspire people to try something new and push eachother! Most likely they will be basic movements or simple variations. However, I am definitely interested in including suggestions from everyone! Hopefully we can balance out the challenges for big and small guys alike.
It will be entirely for fun and bragging rights. Posting a video with your score isn't necessary, however, it is preferred!
Let's start it off by what I believe was the most popular challenge from the original thread!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Week 1: Sunday September 27 - Sunday October 4
Challenge: SQUATS (*with your body weight worth of weight, including the bar). as many as you can in a row
Rules: - Do as many full squats as you can in a row without stopping.
- The bar must stay on your back during attempt, no re-racking the weight
- Must go to below parallel or deeper (ATG).
Why?: The squat is the king of all exercises!
*eg. if you weigh 170lbs. bar (45) + 45x2 (90) + 10x2 (20) + 5x2 (10) +2.5x2 (5) = 170lbs
(There are metric tons of videos on how to squat.. I chose one)
Post up your body weight, along with your result for comparison too
This is strictly for fun, so use your own honor and don't cheat.
