BAR-BARIANS FORUM


The rules for the Nov/Dec Bar-barians forum challenge known as "Six Way Shoot Out" are as follows:

*You are required to do 6 different exercises to your max rep total with a pyramid style recovery time after completing each exercise.

*(exercise 1) You must first perform HSPU's up against a wall. Full lock out on the way up and your head must touch the floor on the way down.
You are then allowed 30 seconds recovery time before starting the next exercise.

*(exercise 2) You must perform parallel bar dips. Full ROM as if doing the Bar-barian Requirements.
You are then allowed 45 seconds recovery time before starting the next exercise.

*(exercise 3) You must perform pull ups. Full ROM as if doing the Bar-barian Requirements.
You are then allowed 1 minute recovery time before starting the next exercise.

*(exercise 4) You must perform press ups. Full ROM as if doing the Bar-barian Requirements.
You are then allowed 45 seconds recovery time before starting the next exercise.

You are then allowed 30 seconds recovery time before starting the final exercise.

*(exercise 6) You must perform tricep dips or bench dips. Using a bench or a settee or something of a similar size you must do the exercise with straight legs and your butt must touch the ground on the downward movement and arms must lock out on the upward movement.

*You must keep strict time keeping, either by having someone there with you to time the workout or by quickly pressing the stopwatch yourself after each exercise - but it must be STRICT!

*All exercises are to be performed in a continuous motion - There can't be any pause on any rep - none what-so-ever.

*You can submit as many videos as you like ... So long as your rep count goes UP and not DOWN.

*The winner of the challenge is the person who performs the most reps by December 31st 2K10 (2 month forum challenge)
