Seriously, Olympic lifting is the nuts. I'm ruined for normal weightlifting...

[MisterP]

10. I have to wrap presents but getting them from the hiding places

will require some strength and agility.

[underpants]

11. Good luck

:hi:

[giant_robot]

12. You've started feats of strength before I could air my grievances?

I'm very disappointed in all of you!

[underpants]

14. We of the Orthodox Festivus celebration do Feats of Strength first

Don't make me turn this into an Orthodox vs. Reformed flame fest :grr:

[XNASA]

Stand back, everyone.

[underpants]

Will that count for something? :D

[ixion]

19. happy festivus!

for my feat of strength I will play video games for 18 hours straight. :+

[flvegan]

21. Today is chest day

So, I'll do 4 sets of incline dumbell presses, 4 sets of flat bench dumbell flyes, 3 sets of decline bench presses, 4 sets of high-pully cable crossovers, and finish it off with upright bench presses on the Hammer Strength machine.

3:30 can't come soon enough...

[underpants]

22. 100

sit-ups so far

30 on the top and bottom of each hour.

[flvegan]

25. Very good. Halfway there.

I'm assuming you squeaked out the extra 10 with one of the sets of 30. 30, 30, 30 equals 90.

Are you doing them hands behind the head, out in front of you or across your chest? Across the chest is the best way, IMO.

[underpants]

27. Oops should have said 25

Yeah I should be doing 30 but hell I really just got restarted a few weeks ago.

I lock my feet under my desk (close the office door of course) and cross my arms across my chest. I don't count the first and the last one so I really do 27 per set-I tend to take one to get going and don't want to let myself cheat at the end.

Eventually I want to get back to my "Herschel Walker workout" (he has never lifted weights- if you have seen what he looks like )

5 sets over 2 1/2 hours

20-30 pushups (getting to 30 might be a dream from 10 years ago)
30 sit ups
5-8 "Diamond" pushups
20-30 crunches

I used to have a pullup bar and do 3-5 with my hands facing each way (pullups and chinups) but the bar is gone.

I think I will hit it hard after new years-just getting close to that level in the mean time.

[progressoid]

23. I'm going to beat my 10 year old at checkers

(after I let her win one first)

[seemunkee]

28. I would work on my dead lift

If I hadn't torn my groin muscle climbing last week. Out for 6 weeks and I was planning on attempting a 2X body weight lift in Feb on my birthday.

[underpants]

30. That sucks

but we don't want excuses we want RESULTS!!!

:bounce:

[seemunkee]

31. Going to work on pullup and grip for 6 weeks.

New goal is to close the #2 CoC gripper

[madison2000]

29. Lift my 70lb dog onto the bed if he wants to take a nap with me

[Hubert Flottz]

32. I just survived a night of total terra!

My three grandkids spent the night! I gave my voice a great workout, screaming like James Brown at them all evening, for wrecking the place! They left this morning to go and team up with my other grandkid to create the perfect storm! I expect to see them on CNN any minute, doin' their thing!

[underpants]

35. to create the perfect storm!

Too funny

[BigMcLargehuge]

33. lift heavy rocks

and throw them at inflatable Santas

[underpants]

34. My biggest feat of strength was about 3 weeks ago...

...I got hit on by this absolutely smoking babe. We're talking spanky toy hot. I could have gone home with her and had the kind of freaky circus-sex you only read about. And I did nothing about it. Oh lord that took a lot of strength.

[underpants]

37. spanky toy hot

Married? SO?

[SKKY]

40. Yep married. Just couldn't.

[Obviousman]

38. I'm gonna wrestle my brother

Whoooooooohoooooooo

Now where is that chocolate my co-worker gave me?

[yellowdogintexas]

41. Picking up my 20 pound cat a couple of times ought to do it

and hefting several cups of tea.

Oh yeah, slugging laundry to the washer and dryer
