9,268 Reps From 10 Steemians After 24 Days - The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge - 50 Push-ups & 50 Squats - Day 25 (9/8)

in #fitnesschallenge • 5 years ago

A new record of 2:40 for 50 push-ups and 50 squats recorded in this video after playing two baseball games today. No excuses, and no reason not to get my best results ever. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Talk is cheap. Actions are what matter. Thanks to those who are sticking with this.

Day 24 Overview: 420 reps from 4 Steemians that completed the challenge.

Let's grow this healthy community now by spreading the word and contributing some reps. This is for your health.

Why not try to join us just once to see how it goes?

To people new, see the kickoff post linked below. We'll be opening up to other exercise types in due time. I'm trying to keep this simple for now to get everyone assembled and on the same page.

What's the challenge? 50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. See my video. If you want to do a different ratio or split, that's fine. Just reach 100 reps from these options and reply below with an affirmation, pic, link, or video. We're on the honor system.

If you can't do all of the push-ups, I know you can do squats for the rest. Get involved!

My New Reps: 50 push-ups and 50 squats timed in 2:40!

I pitched 3 innings today against a great team and held them to one unearned run due to a fielder's error. I stuck out two batters and made many look bad with big swings and misses, as well as lots of bad contact. Long live the knuckleball. I threw only knuckleballs for these 3 innings. At the plate, I had 3 walks and 1 strikeout looking at a horrendous call by the umpire.

I was able to get through 35 push-ups easily -- good progress from the previous 25-30 range. My chest and tris feel amazing.

I also did another 11 reps of bicep curls with my 75 pound bar.

Tonight's fuel was a pound of ground chicken with onions, a 20 gram protein bar, kefir, raw sprouts in olive oil with sea salt, and grapes.

Highlights:

  • A new record for me after not timing myself in over 10 days.

To any interested Steemians who want more info/background: *Please see this link from the kickoff post for details.

Everyone please support and encourage the team here. They're working hard to build a community the hard way. It's about the bigger picture.

Make sure you go 90 degrees with your elbows and legs, with your back straight, on each rep. Don't have your elbows too wide on the floor. Feel free to help others if they look like that can use some advice.

Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you.

Markets and spirits may be down now, but our health should always be on the rise.

We don't always need an app and tokens for everything, or to worry about things we can't control.

Worry about what we can control. Let's put the human back into fitness here, and you will see and feel results.

Rep on,
@steemmatt

    Would be there if you didn't get hurt. Hurry up and heal already! You're part of the foundation. All push-ups if you need to.

    I did mine today with weights. Wasn't able to record a video like I intended to. I did 50 bench press with 40kg weights and 50 squats with 20kg on my shoulder. That took me like 45minutes if you include nearly dying and almost shitting on myself.

    At least Sarah Conner will be safe for another day.

      Hah. Heart of a LION. I'll count it because these are much much harder. Do you wear diapers when you lift just in case?
