Re: New Psychotic Challenge

ummm... I'm changing the points for weight increase to 3pts/5lbs... I think it'll make it a little easier, it seems like it's a bunch easier to make time faster...

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Lyssie, when I was at the gym this weekend, I realized that I had put my HIGHEST weight, not my 12 rep weight. Is this a major problem? The ones in italics are the ones I had wrong. My 12 rep weight is as follows:

Maximum weight for 12 reps:
incline bench=20
pullover=20
lying rear shoulder raise=5
hammer curl=15
leg press=176
dead lift=20
calf raises=44

Sorry I'm a dork. I realized why I'd never be able to earn any points--I put the wrong weights down and made myself sound like a shemale bodybuilder.

BUT, I am excited to say, that I did 12 reps, leg press, at 264, an increase of 88 pounds! But unfortunately, I noticed leg press is not listed as one of my exercises...

The site looks very glam by the way. Tres chic!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Ummm.. Honey, we're using max weight, as in, you should be maxing somewhere around 8-10 reps when you move up, if you get 12, that's not a max.. (like Joy's 8 reps at 20lbs as max)... About the things that are counted, I took the first 5 that I had either written, or were listed, since we knocked down the number, if you want them changed, lemme know which ones you want/don't want... and whatever the actual starting weights are for things.

P.S. There's no point in trying to deny that you're a shemale bodybuilder, we all know better.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Hey, Lyssie! I beat my personal bests this morning!

3 miles: 36:40
5k: 37:50
4 miles: 50:00 (I actually could have done it a little faster (30 seconds or so), but I already had too many numbers in my head to try to remember, so I slowed down a bit to make it an easy-to-remember even 50!)

I noticed you listed all three for me. Thank you.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Using your max weight (the weight you can painfully do 12 reps at) as the starting point.

Sorry. I changed my pyramid thing to 12/10/8, not 12/12/12. So therein lies the confusion. My max weight are the original ones I had posted, but I'm not doing 12 of my max weight. Got it now. Truthfully, I think I'll just bow out of this weights portion, because I don't think I'll see improvement (in the time that we're doing this challenge) on the exercises that are listed for me. I think if we didn't do weights in Boot Camp and Kickboxing, it might be different...

...I'll still compete with the running portion, though.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Lyssie, I increased my max weight on the following exercises yesterday:

incline bench: 35 pounds (from 30, +5lb)
pullover: 35 pounds (from 30, +5lb)
rear shoulder raise: 15 pounds (from 10, +5lb)
hammer curl: 20 pounds (from 15, +5lb)

So that's a 20lb. increase, and at 1 point for every 3 pounds, thats 7 if you're nice, or Miss Jackson (6 points) if you're nasty.

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

3 points for every 5 pounds miss "I don't think I'll be going up in weights" makes it 12 points...

[julirama723]

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Dang, that's even better.

Well Miss Sassy, I DIDN'T think I'd be going up in weights. I felt strong like bull yesterday and decided to give it a shot. :P

Re: New Psychotic Challenge

Oh, and I also did my Dead Lifts at 35 lb. instead of 30 yesterday. 3 more points, PLEASE!

Re: New Psychotic Challenge
