I like this challenge but...

If you like this challenge but it's private, for people of a much higher or lower ability/fitness level, or you think lots of people are lying about their scores, don't forget you can easily create a similar challenge for a different set of competitors, or keep it private for friends who you trust to post honest scores. If you create your own challenge you'll be able to moderate all entries as well.

HealthHabits: I tried it again today to see how quickly I had recovered. The answer is...NOT WELL

55 Pull-Downs...68 Push-Ups

No strength at all in my arms for the last minute...laying face down on the grotty gym floor - it wasn't a pretty sight

It would seem that score=e1+(e2x3) would be a better ranking as pull downs seem to be much tougher. Or Score=(e1/3)+e2. This would eliminate someone just doing pushups from having a much higher score. by AndyWeaver on 4/18/2012 3:17:00 PM
I'll try again using Healthhabits technique of switching between the two. I did all pull-downs then all push-ups. by JenMitchell on 4/15/2012 8:50:00 PM
@Skippy - I say we mock anyone who just does the push-ups What I did was alternate between exercises - 10 reps p-downs and 40 reps p-ups to start - as I couldn't hit those numbers, I did p-downs to failure & p-ups to 30, then 20, then failure by HealthHabits on 4/15/2012 5:09:00 PM
does that mean you can do 5 minutes of push-ups. It should be split half and half in my opinion by Skippy on 4/14/2012 1:39:00 PM
Yes, definately more push ups than pulldowns by Mr Workout on 4/13/2012 9:26:00 PM
