I started the 100 pushup challenge today! I started at week 3 (because that's where I ranked). It's tough going at the end!!!

MemberAs well as my October conditioning workout of 100 pull up burpees and a half-hour game of chicken ball with my hubby, my big accomplishment today was learning how to "Skin the Cat":

It was pretty scary, because I wasn't sure how much shoulder mobility it would require. I was afraid I might pull my arms out of the sockets! I also wasn't sure how much strength it would require to bring myself back to the starting position, but it turned out to be lots easier than doing burpees.

MemberSkin the cat looks fun, I wish I had the right tools! That pushup challenge looks brutal, I've GOT to try it. There are so many different push-up variations though...Are you guys just sticking to one? Do you think it'll still work everything in generally the same way?
The http://twohundredsquats.com/ challenge looks pretty badass, too. Anybody else in? ;)

I'm just going with standard width for my challenge. I think anyone would definitely have a different, and probably more challenging, experience if they went sheerly with close-grip or wide-grip.

I would say. Squats and pushups are great compound movements that work a good amount of muscles each. Throw some pullups in there and you've got all your major muscle groups covered...except for the abs. Heck, throw in some planks and some renegade rows!

MemberI was feeling frisky and spry today, so it was a day for PLAY!!!
Mini Ache Hunt (see "The Paleo Diet for Athletes" at pp. 181-3 for an explanation).
Start with slow jogging on my forest trail at 65% of max heart rate (Move slowly to the "hunting grounds") - a good warm up
Cross the river into the "hunting grounds" and commence a series of 6 short sprints interspersed with recovery jogging in the move slowly zone (Chasing the quarry)
Pick up the biggest, most unwieldy rock I can find and carry it back "home" to camp in the move slowly zone. (Bringing home the bacon)
This was a BLAST. Totally spontaneous and completely unstructured idea, but I had a great time. Because I didn't consider it a formal "workout" I didn't bother keeping track of time or distance on the sprints, the weight of the rock, or how I carried it - other than to make sure I didn't get hurt.
The only hard part was that there were a few deer out in the evening on the way back and I was sorely tempted to drop my rock and give chase through the undergrowth.

It was a perfect morning for some uphill sprints under the near full moon!
Uphill sprints x8
Between sprints I did some calf raises at the top of the hill (between 15 - 25)Finished on a song by Trentmoeller called 'While the Cold Winter Waiting'. It seemed perfect cuz it was nice and mellow...and super cold out this morning!

100 jump burpees for time. I love burpees because they're so old school, not to mention brutally hard!
Posted 2 weeks ago # -
I'm thinking of hitting up a major round of burpees (with pullups) this weekend.

Hey Jess, time was 9:24 today. If you need ideas for workouts check the link on my name, I log all my workouts there. It's a nasty workout, especially when you're racing the clock. If you do the workout come over to the blog and comment, I like to hear how people are doing!

Member@Get Primal, great workouts! I'm diggin' the Poker 400, if only I could find somebody else that would be up to it! :( The Distance Burpees sounds horrible, I might just have to try that on the golf course next week..(But spatially, how far is 300/400m?) I must comment that you DO seem to run an awful lot though...Hasn't the concept of "chronic cardio" been burned into your skull enough after hanging around here? ;)
