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.

    Okay, so something must have worked last week, because ow!ow!ow!, I felt these today!

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

    Will need to work up to the 10lbs!
