Did I miscount, or pass out halfway through and enter some kind of fugue state? Because this was ridiculously easy (and I'm in mid-winter hibernation shape right now). I worked up in alternating sets of 20 then two 10's to finish off. No significant break was necessary, and my form didn't suffer. I don't see how I could improve my time by more than maybe 15-20 seconds without throwing technique out the window.

Speaking solely for this lighter weight category, I think it would be more of a worthy challenge to up the reps. I'd be game for 500. 1000 even. As is, this literally served as nothing more than a warm-up.

Do you want to set a date for a possible 500 rep challenge. We would both do it on an agreed day and see who gets the best time. Just for shits and giggles. This can be like the open challenge thread in S&P.

I'm pretty sure you'll dust me, but it would still be fun.

i don't like the sounds of this...

*runs out of conditioning forum*

*takes break at menu*

*splashes face with water*

*hits go*

Haha. Well you've tickled my fancy, mate, and potentially doomed my rotator cuffs. But I shall stand by my manful claims. 35lbx500 it is.

I declare the contest shall take place on Ribbledale common 'pon evening of Sunday next (25th). What say you, bounder?

And what other denizens of the lumpen unwashed might hoist their girthsome pantaloons and participate?

Always picking on the HW's... seeing how this is an open challenge thread are you going to back up your talk?? little one?

The 100 reps killed me last night, today has been pain and agony everytime I try to move.

500 sounds fun, but I'm worried about being able to do a damn thing for the week after.

Volume hurts.

500 will probably take me all day.
