An ATOT challenge.

[SSSnail]

Do 20 pushups.

While balancing your hands on one of these

With your feet elevated, you can use your couch.

 

[FallenHero]

No. I like my wrists intact.

Safer way to do it is balance your feet on that ball while you do pushups, or use a 3-5 pound medicine ball instead of that.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Fatties don't have to attempt doing this.

That's not much of a challenge at all. But I will say that I've been training pretty hard for the last year (down 45 lbs, a lot of new muscle), and there is no way in hell I would have been able to do this a year ago.

Slightly tougher challenge - Tough Mudder on the 19th. Coming up quick. That will be the true test.

The orientation of that guy is wrong. Now, place his hands on the ball, and feet on a couch, then do the pushups.

That's not much of a challenge at all.

Do you have a ball handy? How many can you crank out? And, this is ATOT we're talking about.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

If you don't have one of these balls, you should, since they were free on Monday.

On fresh arms/chest I can easily crank out 20 in a row, but can definitely feel it as I approach 20. I've done these as part of a circuit and would do 3 sets of 20 - with the second and third set being exponentially harder and requiring breaks. I'm by no means some super athlete, but I can usually make the first set of most things look pretty simple. It's all downhill from there!

I've done pushups with a medicine ball as suggested above, too. I actually struggled more with that because my hands were closer together so it was more triceps with less help from chest. That, and I'm 6'2" with lanky arms so it was even more noticeable.

I'm currently working on single arm pushups, or as I like to call them, demotivators. I can do two on each arm and then am shaking like a little girl, haha.

A challenge for this crowd would be walking for one mile uninterrupted.
Fuck, I'm out of school, will do that right now. Gonna make some changes this summer.

 

[DrPizza]

Walking a mile is a challenge?? Seriously??

wtf? where and some of us had to work

I could probably do at least 10. Elbow is still fucked up from Judo, nerve damage and my hand doesn't work 100%, but I think I could at least still do 10.

 

[Arcadio]

Ok, I just did it. What do I get?

Oh please, you've been here longer than me. You know we are a collection of classic cave dwellers.

I just jogged a mile and a half this morning, then took a cool shower. Feeling pretty good. Thats gonna be a habit for me from now on. Been gettin soft since I left the Navy.

Holy shit. :'(

 

[KeithTalent]

I've done them on a bosu ball. Never on a full ball like that though; I'd probably eat floor if I tried.
