Most Weight Lifted by Christmas by rattler201

This topic was created for the Most Weight Lifted by Christmas challenge.

rattler201, is this challenge including % body weight, or no body weight?

Well I know Fattysmo always uses bodyweight and I’m pretty sure he’ll enter the challenge :D

I think DaddyBoy does too.

Way to go pharangese, you’re the first one to put your lbs in! I should be able to workout tomorrow.

Just total weight lifted.

Just total weight lifted.

By “just”, do you mean no body weight lifted added in? For example, with your crunches you lifted 30 lbs., did you hold the 30 lbs while doing crunches, or was the 30 lbs a percentage of your body weight?

I want to make sure I understand so I don’t figure the lbs lifted different than is expected for this challenge.:)

No body weight percentages, the 30lbs is just a dumbbell held on my chest. I’ll add it to the description.

Ok, fair enough. From now on I’ll enter in my push-ups and crunches reps only, no body weight. I wish it was possible to specify to which challenges body weight should apply and to which it shouldn’t. That would be nice for those challenges that allow body weight percentages (I do a lot of push-ups and crunches), and those that do not. But ultimately, the challenge creator sets the rules and if you don’t like ‘em, you don’t have to participate right? Game on! :-)

This is going to be interesting! Good luck everyone! It will be interesting to see what everybody’s figures are with a level playing field :D.

Me too. I was going to start a non-body weight challenge, but after our other challenges we’re done.

This is going to be rough!

Are you going to join us fattysmo?

I pulled out of this challenge for the time being because I’d like to finish up the challenges that include body weight first. I’ll let you ladies get a head start and see if I can catch up! :-)

Ya know, I was thinking of the same thing, fattysmo. I just have to much “pain and agony” invested in the other challenges to stop now. There isn’t that much time left.

Sorry pharangese to abandon you, but I’ll be back when the other challenges (mainly the 2) are over.

heh ok guys, bodyweight exercises didn’t account for that much of my workout anyways, so I’m totting up some good figures anyway :d

everybody’s doing awesome – keep it up guys!

Ok, I’m joining this challenge now. I won’t be able to submit any workouts for another week though because I still can’t access my gym. One more week of idling and then I can see what the figure is to catch up to!

This is staying tight, should get pretty interesting around the week of December 14th. Woo!

are chin ups being counted if no extra weight is used?

I’m afraid I might have to bow out gracefully as I can no longer get to my gym, and I don’t have any access to free weights.

Well it seems my membership card is still active for the time being so I’ve been able to go back to the gym today – so fingers crossed the game is still on!

Whoa jclark, you’re gonna be tough to catch once I can finally start playing again! Great job!

haha fattysmo, it helps when you work at a gym and get a free membership

Yeah that’s a pretty sweet deal!

Congratulations jclark! Smoking job!

Well done JC! You really went for it! It’s a shame I missed most of the challenge :( would have like to have done better than I did – but hey there’s always next month!
