Alright, setting the bar at 20 for dips. They don't have to be close grip like I did them, you just have to get 21.

Capital Fuck capital that. Also, could you answer my question on the previous page? I'll try to set one tonight!

For pullups, wide grip only. Chinups don't count.

For pushups, dips, etc., whatever you prefer.

Ok thanks.

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges
 
I was looking up tutorials and they interchange chin up and pull up. Pull up is the palms facing away right?

I'll blow that dip score out of the water on monday ;)

Fuck doing 15 pullups though.

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges
 
The dips were meant to be a starting point, something that could be beaten with a little work. I could have easily just done 100 and left it at that but then there's no fun in that ;)

For pullups, I could probably do 20. Shows how bad I am at pullups :P

I'd measure around tier 3-4 atm


dips we do like 30 of them in body pump at different speeds and it's brutal haha (from a bench though). I've never tried the V sit but I'd like to test my flexibility a bit

this is an excellent idea btw chris

Oh man I am going for the dip challenge. I want to get into shape again just to compete in these really badly for some reason. This is great.

One time I did 142 push ups in 3 minutes

Glad to hear the positive feedback!

Great job Arkuski, that's pretty good!

Well, I tried as hard as I could tonight but I only got to 40 dips, and barely.

Didn't video it though so the bar is still set by SCWolf ;)

I don't normally get into things like this, but seeing as I am attempting to get myself into better shape, I am going to give some of this a go. Are you going to keep track of who is in what tiers as they progress?

Also going to sound stupid with this, but what is a jumping pull up exactly? Is that just like to get you up there faster compared to just pulling yourself up for the first one?

Is Planck, plank just spelled differently or something totally different?

Damn I'd be tier 4 if I could v sit and muscle up. I also could have been a doctor, oh well.

LaZboy77 06-26-2014 01:58 AM

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges
 
Yeah, I like this idea. I think I'd be at about Tier 3 right now.
So, if I weigh about 160, does that mean I have to do my dips with 40lbs worth of additional weight?

Also, here are 3 out of the 4 exercises.

At the moment I don't see much need. If this becomes more active and we have multiple competitors then it's more likely going to happen.

Yes, primarily for people who can't do a regular pullup.

Planck is a typo. I'll fix that now.
