I wish that were the case. I do Tabata burpees 3-5 times a week and play soccer twice a week, so I'm not in bad shape, but somehow, this was just way beyond what I expected. I encourage everyone to give it a go.

The mental portion of the challenge is gruelling all by itself. At 30, I literally thought I would have to quit after another 5. Tayon did quit at 50 for about a minute and a half, but finally, he couldn't take much more of my trash-talking and ridicule (I'm quite persuasive) and finished it.

Yeah you have to ignore those thoughts of "I'm going to die."

No kidding. Mark me down. 7:49, under 200lbs. It was hell!!! After I was done, I recorded the time, passed out and woke up naked near a dead deer in the woods lol. I had done sets of 100 pushups and squat thrusts daily to prepare. It seemed to help out a bit.

I'm 168 right now and managed to do this in 7:12. I did feel very lightheaded for the last two minutes and dry heaved after finishing up though.

HAHA!! Bring the pain!

I did some more today in the front yard. I don't think I'm gonna break my PR any time soon.

Will there be a SHW class for those over 265?

Not at this point because I seriously doubt that we'll have that many people in that weightclass.

You're a SHW?

Damn this will be painfull and suck...

I just been informed that I will be dragged with to train with the swe-national kickboxing team in their 6 hour sparring camp that is nearby my town tomorow.... And I have been slacking with my standup for months to focus on my grappling....

If I survive that tomorow I will give this a go and see how bad I do...

....And for further humiliation I will film it...

Biggest worry is the pushups, I cant do 100 straiight pushups, but I guess I will have to be strategic about it and break it down in smaller portions from the start, will be interesting nevertheless.

It's not really the same thing as doing 100 straight push-ups though.
