Naturally I challenged him to it! :P We're hoping to do it at some point over the next few weeks.

Need to make my slam ball first, HAHA!

This was before he complted the 100 x BW deadlift challenge in roughly half my time :o :lol:

First time comes from me then,

"Sparrow’s Dozens"
12x Deadlifts @ Body weight (73.5 Kg) ==> 75Kg
12x Pull-ups
12x Press-ups
12x Ball Slams @ 20# ball ==> 9Kg Ball
12 Rounds…!

Time = 50:41

My ball is a regular medicine ball, not a soft D-Ball which may have made the slams a little easier but since I am still suffering from my weight problem (the problem being I don't weigh an exact multiple of 2.5 kilos) and rounded up, I think it balanced out a bit.

Wow, good effort. This is one of those workouts that has my heart skip a beat thinking about how I will be at the end of round 5 or so....

To be honest, round 11 is the worst, or at least it was for me.

You only have to ask Chet, you know that..... :lol: :lol: So thats tomo's session sorted :D
"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

Charlie Brooker & Chris Morris.

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"

Here endeth the lesson.

I can't help noticing that the number of Chets who have posted a time for this workout is tending towards zero...
