Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

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.

Great job Arkuski, that's pretty good!

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

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 ;)

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

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?

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

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

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.

Re: Bodyweight Exercise Challenges

are there are decent bodyweight-only routines floating around out there
I found this one, but I'm not sure how well it'd work

I hate myself and will never go to a gym again
