Test your mettle..................Whats your best ?

Awesome idea, I'll be definitely up for this.

LOL

In my defence I had just completed WC101 prior to that!

fcuk off

Yeah yeah pick on the unemployed, we're easy pickings

LOL, I am not gonna pick on you mate,, you may hammer me in this comp, I have developed a gut over the past few months LOL

Good little motivator this, Neb I'll be more worried about you when you're not telling people to fcuk off and other such gems

why is stuff always at the wrong time for me?

the mt shape up when im bulking
this when im fat and out of shape

having a look through though.....

3 mile run - i can do this (i'll jog it though)
20 meter shuttle run / bleep test - ???
100 burpee challenge - mmm ive done 10 in the past so i'll give it a go
concept 2 rower - 2000 meters - don't have access to equipment
Pressups in 1 minute - i'll have a go

nice idea mate

I'll probably try the press ups this week and get it on tape. Full lock out's ect

ill be able to do the run, pressups and burpees, no access to the rower or a 'bleeper' though
good idea for this, didnt even realise this section was here

I will probably try the 3 mile run although i tend to get a bit bored sometimes if its on a machine. What about swimming? I am doing that a lot now - anyone else do it? possibly add lengths or something?

swimming is a good idea, maybe a timed half mile, it's only, what, 32 lengths?

i will try these when i begin my cut, im too lazy to run atm

you sound like a regular crossfitter now Boar! I don't think I could survive any of those challenges, which is why I am soon to add crossfit/gpp work to my routine.

Great topic - should have done this ages ago!

Magic 50

10x DB snatches (5 per arm)
10x DB swings (5 per arm)
10x burpees
maximum of 60secs rest

Repeat 5x

aahhh, i think daz (mook) does these , what sort of weight ? 10/15kg and the snatch - does it resemble a clean i.e from the floor to shoulder height or a traditional snatch - from the floor to above the head in one movement ?

Weight should be based on the individuals strength I guess, to make it more fair.

I used @ 30kg for snatch and 20kg for swings, changes depending on what stage I am at in my training. I would probably start off with a single 20kg DB for both.

Snatch usually from a hang position - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57pv_1j4dH0 at 00:15 secs

Or an alternative grip like this noob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaejpTMtgiw

**** you, I cant swim

Too many 'o' I think mate

Glad this is a sticky, be easier to find when I'm thrashing all of your times

Good sticky.
In fact its boarsome

I'm not sure about that mapmyrun calculator though
...it seems to be a bit harsh

Does it take into account up and down kerbs and swerving lumps of dogsh!t though?

Will definitely be posting a rowing time as soon as I get access to a Concept2 and will build up to the 3-miler when I've worked out a nice flat one. Is it possible to do a distance covered in Xmin on a stationary bike since everyone uses them, or will the difference in bike make a big impact on results? I guess you could always add a time for Xmile cycle in the real world via the mapmyrun anyway.

Quality idea Boar! Although I won't be particpating in the near future. I could give old times in but they'd only be accurate to the nearist min or bleep level!!!

Ok, these are all from when I was a good 10 years younger, and a lot fitter....

3 mile run - 19.50
20 metre shuttle - level 7 (ahem, i was rubbish at it!!)
100 burpies - we never did the press up side of it, so wouldn't count
2k on rower - 7.19 (I was the worst in my year by a good way)
Press ups in 1 minute - 60+

If I were to do it today, I'd guess...

3 mile run - 22+
20 metre shuttle - level 4
100 burpies - dunno
2k on rower - 8.50 followed by mucho
Press ups in 1 minute - 35+

Will do the burpies and press ups one evening and find out though.

Nice idea for a league table
