My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:

-100 Calf Bar Raises (75 pounds)

My Daily Assessment:

I had dinner with someone today who hasn't seen my since November and their eyes lit up at my change in appearance. I pushed my shoulders a little bit too much with two days of weighted arm circles. I had a partial labrum tear years ago and I can feel a little soreness, so I need to ease into it more. Did calves today to rest my right shoulder. My arms are also getting a little too big for pitching, so I want start using my resistance band to stretch often to stay ahead of any inflexibility.

Feedback from @mightpossibly:

"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."

Feedback from @notorious562:

"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."

Feedback from @khufu:

"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."

Best guess...

Thanx man. I'll use those names for now

Yeah, no problem! You may wanna do a quick YouTube search for each of those names to make sure that's what you're doing. But from the description, those are what I'm thinking you're doing.

Daily challenge completed:
I did a circuit today for 45 min.
I’m not going to count the reps, but count it as cardio for 45 min if that is ok steemmatt?

Then it is 150 reps.

Glad you're healthy again. To be fair to all, 30 mins is 100 reps and 60 mins is the next 100. Partial times between haven't been counted yet, so while you probably did a ton of reps, it'll be 100 for this. You will for doing the workout, I'm just sticking to the book to stay consistent for everyone.

Excellent, I Just want an easy solition for circuit training, as I just don’t want to count it. The group really helped me to pick myself up again and go to the gym, as I felt a bit demotivated after being ill. So I think you are doing a great job @ Steemmatt.

IMG_9175.jpg

Happy to participate! Thanks for the welcome. I won't commit (yet) to do this every day, but it felt appropriate to use the tag on this occasion. Will slap it on every time I do at least 50 push-ups from now on.

No worries! No real need to commit, but glad your on board to try it every now and then. Please do so I can make sure to add it to your rep count.

Hahaha. Lol.
Including knees

What's funnier is you lurking here trying to make fun of someone you don't know at all for exercising.

Mute him... we don't need people like him posting on here.

Negativity drowns in positivity here <3

Agreed!

At least their putting in work! I am sure your used to hiding behind the computer and sitting on your ass right now. Respect this positive environment or get out!

Guys it was just a joke . I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I don't sit at home and do nothing, I am an athlete,I play cricket at national level in my country and I am so much into fitness. You people can't take a joke. Still I'm sorry if I offended anyone of you in any way.

Okay, well I appreciate the apology. It takes a lot of guts for some people to join this community and they are not all athletes or fitness junkies. We like to have a positive environment where all feel welcome and this comment may have offended them. Yes, we love to joke around here as well, but not at the expensive to put others down.
@Steemmatt is a huge comedian in my eyes, but again don't joke at the expensive of putting others down.

Sure , I will keep that in mind. But I really didn't mean to put down any effort. Anyways peace guys.

I disagree that I can't take a joke. I just think your joke was bad (if laughing at someone can be considered a joke). Considering that you're a professional athlete, that makes it somewhat worse in my opinion.

To be clear, I didn't take any offense.

"@rmsbodybuilding and @steemmatt with attendance of 97/97 days." Great job guys. What dedication!

#100repchallenge fitness founders!

Thanks! If I didn't keep my reps low, I wouldn't be able to do it. As for the other man/machine, I don't know how he does it.

One Man's Over-Training is Another Man's Warm-Up. lol

@rmsbodybuilding - For your next SBD award, would you like the SBD or a share in the Steem Basic Income system you introduced me to?

the share, thanks

All set. Sent 1 Steem for you now. Thanks for introducing me to it.

looks like a serious challenge,..... am joining

Highly recommend it! You'll succeed in no time!!

Bring it on.

That's a great challenge.
we should try to attend.
I am so fat that's why I couldn't give more.

Then start walking 30 minutes a day and count that as 100 reps.

That's a great initiative..
Do weight count..
I only do 15 minute cardio and then weights

Just read through the post for the guidelines to explain how the rep counts work. 15 mins of cardio isn't enough to qualify for 100 reps. It'll need to be 30 minutes. Reps with weights are of encouraged of course.

I do about 15-20 sets of 8-12 reps daily..
I don't do much running, I'm trying to bulk up .. I'm just running to increase my stamina..

Then it looks like you'll have the plenty of reps to share. Feel free to do so and list what the workout was in your reply and/or include a picture, etc..

Sure, I'll be ready for the next challenge :)
