Bar-barians Forum Challenge: Nov/Dec 2K10 "Six Way Shoot Out"

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.

*(exercise 5) You must perform chin ups. Arms must lock out on the way down and chin must clear the bar on the way up.
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)

Good luck to all participating, below is a clip of forum member Michael Christian who between myself and him came up with this challenge and he will help to judge the contest:

Bar-barians Forum Challenge: May 2K10 "Bar-baric Pull Ups"

BAR-BARIC PULL UPS **starts May 1st - ends May 31st**

THE RULES FOR CHALLENGE:
*As many pull ups as you can manage in 5 sets.

*Each set you are allowed 1 min on the bar to do your pull ups but if you come off the bar that is it for that set.

*You are only allowed 1 min to rest in between sets - You must be back on the bar ready to go before the min has passed.

*Your pull ups must be palms facing outwards, your chin must touch the bar, you must lock out (or near as damn it on each rep) and there can only be slight leg movement or none what-so-ever on pull ups (*see video below*)

*You will have to have a time keeper with you to keep your time using a stopwatch (time starts as soon as bar is grasped and ends when feet touch the floor x 5 sets)

*You can enter the challenge as many times as you want within the month (you'll probably get better as the month goes on)

*The winner will be the person who performs the most pull ups after completing all 5 sets!

*There will also be a 'Hardest trier' award for the person who appers to have put in the most effort in their pull up video!

I think Ze is going to judge all entries and decide the two winners - He will let you know. Let's make this a worldwide comp - tell everone - Marcus Bondi and his Beach crew, Highlanderz, Bar-barians, everyone on the forum - we should all be up for this one! Tomorrow, i'll post a first attempt video to get the ball rolling - (like the pace maker in a running race)

Good luck to everyone who enters. Even if you know you can't beat someone's score - still enter as you may win the 'hardest trier' award!
