Challenge Mastered!

If you would like to keep going (31 pull-ups tomorrow, etc), that’s awesome and you should definitely do it!  Let’s make the next target 50, which will be on May 20th.  Track on the white board if you’re continuing!  Also, post your thoughts on the pull-up challenge to the blog or, if you’re not a comments person (which appears to be most of you…) send an email about thoughts at the beginning vs the end / send a shout-out to somebody who did an awesome job / vote for who’s most improved / whatever!

The MAY CHALLENGE will be a similar form, but this month we’ll be doing ring dips.  Sure, one ring dip may sound “easy” (if you’re already a beast… have you tried a ring dip recently??), but guaranteed they’ll add up!  The same rules apply and this is completely scale-able (if you can’t do a ring dip (yet), use a band.  If you can’t do that (yet), use a box and do regular dips.  Whatever makes it a challenge to you.)  Who knows… once we’re all masters at pull-ups and ring dips, we could do anything!!

Stay tuned later in May for some smaller ‘outside-of-CF’ challenges.  Playlist competition, anyone?

    Ring dips… I’m up for it…

    Great job for everyone with the pull-ups.. At least the ring dips won’t kill your hands…

    I decided to do kip pulls even though I had never mastered them. I was forced to learn quickly…. My challenge was to increase the number I could do non-stop. Pre challenge I was at 0 successful kips and day 30 I successfully completed 14 kips without rest!

    All week I have been looking forward to going back to 1 tomorrow. Thanks G!

    Craig, did you not believe the all-mighty chart? It’s straight from Excel, and Excel never lies…

    BobF - sorry buddy… maybe you can start counting down? Wouldn’t 1 just feel like cheating at this point anyhow? 🙂

    Jen - That’s AWESOME!! Totally embodies the purpose of this challenge. Great work, and keep it up!

    I did it ! Thanks CF for an awesome challenge! Going back to one is like doing a 5k after running a marathon. I like the ring dip challenge idea but will keep the pull ups going
