Wednesday = 100 (+) Overhead Tricep Extensions! (LOVE these!)

No weights? Get creative! I know a jug of milk or OJ would work great!

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRiJVZDpdL0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

(these can be done standing or with 2 weights, just pay attention to form!)

You've got till midnight so break them up if you need to :)

Lift to failure to determine your set number but typically between 10-20

Pain in elbows means STOP, your form is bad or weights too heavy. Lower weights and increase reps.

Please stretch before and after, example of stretch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbHOmIYMazk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Post back when you've completed!

Remember, this is about pushing your own limits so make this about reaching new goals whatever they may be.


Who's down?

    Okay, I've saved a milk jug from last week to fill for a 5-pound weight, and I'll swipe the full one from the fridge, so I'll try to do the two weights this week (remembering to pay attention to form)!

    I love when you guys are hobbling back for more lol!

    Mon.-Fri. I post a mini challenge :)

    Also, just want to remind fitpeeps that if it was easy-peasy it wasn't a "challenge" right? If you normally do around 100 (no sweat) then PUSH to see how far you go and report back with THAT number :)

    In the same token, if your muscles are failing and you can't get past a much lower number by midnight- you DID NOT FAIL, you did you personal best and then some if your muscles are giving out and you should be PROUD of testing your limits!

    I wish I would have brought my weights to work.

    Use your water bottle, if you brought one. I'm using mine that holds 64 oz.

    1 set of 25 with 10lbs
    3 sets of 25 with 5 lbs

    Will need to work up to the 10lbs!
