Challenge time, are you in?

[hairygrandpa]

Can I persuade you to do the DB Floor extension challenge?

[video=youtube;_xz4AHxxaB4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xz4AHxxaB4[/video]
Edit: The girl in the video is not me...

Final Rules:

10 set: Floor DB extensions
-TUT 0:1:0 (quick, no holding for energy)
- 2x10lbs (2x5kg in countries with weights in KG = 2x11lbs)
- pause 10 sec between sets
- DB's must touch floor
- count total numbers of reps
- report results in this threat
- multiple approaches possible


*Rules got tweaked a bit in the past: The rule change came after one member did not to failure due to wrist problems. The "use as finisher rule" is void, because everyone uses triceps in his previous workouts more- or less.
"not to failure necessary" -gives us now more freedom how to do them, with- or without strength savings in the first sets.
Hopefully, you all agree on this. No ill intentions here.

It says AFTER chest. After other triceps exercises too, it's a "finisher".

 

[Jebrook]

Sweet. I'm in. I'll let ya know how it goes. Looks like a sweet finisher exercise to really smoke dem triceps.

 

[Tank999]

I'm just getting back to the gym after a month off, but I might give this a shot

 

[bighulksmash]

hairygrandpa are u sure i should use 10s? I usually do 35s or 45s

 

[Audioph1x]

hairygrandpa are u sure i should use 10s? I usually do 35s or 45s

If you can do 45s for 100+ reps I'll send you a snickerdoodle cookie made with pes select and bull milk

 

[hairygrandpa]

hairygrandpa are u sure i should use 10s? I usually do 35s or 45s

Me too, but we are heavyweight class and it's a challenge for all. And if you really do 200+ reps with 35's you either inject bull semen directly into your forehead, or you use fake weights, like Rich Banana.
If you all do more reps than me, I blame it on the fact that I used 11lbs DB's (5kg) instead of the 10's.LOL

 

[Alpha1a]

Will be a short movie because: "Do you even lift?" :moon:

Lmao thanks now you just gave me a goal. 273 reps it will be !

 

[RegisterJr]

I'll play.

What's required for "after chest day"? I'm going to take some time off from BB pressing and whatever machine irritates my left shoulder. However, I can do however many sets of non-irritating things prior to this.

 

[HIT4ME]

I'm in, but I'm waiting on my shoulder, so it may be 3-4 days.

This sound reaaallly haaarrd! (in the whiniest voice you can imagine)

 

[Sparkss]

I hit 99 yesterday, after chest day. And I guess I will sound like a whiny b**ch because my shoulder (post- rotator cuff surgery) gave out before my triceps, although to be honest, the tris were not far behind. Even without the shoulder issues I had little gas left in my tricep "tanks". I feel could have broken 100, but not by much.

 

[CJNator]

Just saw this thread I'm in!

 

[edzname]

Watching

 

[HIT4ME]

Whenever I try to mention someone, I have to type it 4 times because I always screw up the name somehow or it autocorrect or something. That is the longest call out list I've seen. Must have spent hours getting it right. Haha.

 

[EMPIREMIND]

Im on it. Tommorow.

I did weighted dips, chest press machine and DB press that day, prior to the challenge. Anything touching triceps beforehand would be good.

LOL, nah, not that hard -but afterwards doms for at least 3 days, no matter how much reps you did, if you took it with each set to failure.

In which set do you gave up?

Not allowed! Grab that girly 10 lbs DB's and do it!

Copy & paste the names, scrolling through subscribed logs, LOL.

 

[Hastur]

Dude, this sounds INTENSE! Haha, I like that. Hell yeah I'll give it a shot, but I feel like the pump is going to leave me disabled.

I wonder what your viking friends think of you:
Vikings: "Lets sail to England, slaughter the bastards and fugg their women!"
Dennis: " I have ouchy, can't go."
Vikings: "In that case, you have to give all of us a hand job, Dennis."

:borladuck:

Yes! Looking forward to the viking invasion of the USA. I live in Paraguay and will watch the news, LOL.

Sunday is a good day for the challenge, but Monday your arms will hang on the sides, no axe wielding possible -nor giving hand jobs.

Im used to 10x10 ...My training style was strength.. German volume training. Except i did 10x10 in all my sets... Lets see how much i can pull out of these fat arms now hehehehe... We go south when we land in Newyork...No one is safe

 

[smith_69]

would have done this today, didnt see this post (was asking about it yesterday, guess you were to limp to respond) but yes i am in. I dont remember the numbers above, so it will be a good challenge to see where we all come in.

and this is done after chest day only? is that how were doing this?

You could do it after arm-day as a finisher. Point is, don't do it fresh, because for at least 2 days -and immediately afterwards, arms are toast for chest-day.

 

[hairygrandpa]

14 7 reps only have 20lbs 40lbs and 50lbs at my house . I used 20s .
hairygrandpa felt like my tricepts were gonna burst lol

Non valid approach, you have to repeat it with the 10's...... tomorrow :saevilw:

well doing some back and shoulder this week, game on you old fart

 

[smith_69]

suggestion-

just to make this fair- i think all contestants should pm gramps with the numbers they have and have him put this in, this way no one tries to get an extra few in - Alpha1agreda lol

Lmao now i have something to prove, I am now forced to turn up the heat and give it all I got lol will most definitely try and get this filmed

 

[hairygrandpa]

Sh1t, and I have to watch the movies of all contestants, counting the endless reps. I want to get payed for that!

Lmao in each 10 second rest I'll say whatever count I'm at deal? Haha

 

[jakz]

Monday is Chest and Tricep day, will post numbers.

 

[RegisterJr]

Lmao in each 10 second rest I'll say whatever count I'm at deal? Haha

That's a good idea. I'll edit the number to display on the screen and update at each rest.

 

[CJNator]

I didn't video tape it but I got 50 reps with 10lbs :'( ; 25 to 35 to 50.

Damn I didn't know it was 10 sets, I'll do a redo lol. I was wondering how people got in the hundreds lol.

I was like "wtf my workout before this wasn't that hard lol I'm weak as ****"

 

[Alpha1a]

in a corner , just hit tris , got the 10 pounders . it's going down

 

[Alpha1a]

Numbers sent to HG as requested by smith_69
Rules were followed and I want to thank HG for this finisher as it will most likely be part of my regular routine from now on

 

[RegisterJr]

Gahhhh!!!! Pain!

I lost count of sets so I ended up doing 12. I have video, so you can still see how many I did in 10. Every break a number pops up on the screen and at the end you see the disgust on my face. lol

Uploading video now. I'll share that and my number in PM to HG. I sped up (2:14:00 from 7+) the video to save time but you can see my break timer in the background. If numbers are questioned I'll upload the full 7 minute + video.
