Today I did the 225 for 100 Challenge in 30 minutes for Squats and thought it would be interesting for others to try it as well as post challenges of their own to Complete. It keeps things interesting. I really enjoyed doing it for a change of pace.
Natural Challenge 1:
225 for 100 reps in 30 minutes or less on Ass To Ground Squats (No Smith Machine-Only Real Squats). The goal here is to use 1.25 of your body weight. Since I am 180 lbs this would be 225. Adjust accordingly.
-
Here is a demonstration of Challenge 1.
I went down Much further than he did for every rep and I advise others to do the same.
-
And another legendary video request is born. :D
-
He did them in sets, resting in between..Not what i expected, LET DOWN!!!!!!

Can you do it? I did it and it was pretty tiring. I also did 15 sets of Biceps afterwards.

Nobody has to post any videos or anything.

Good stuff. Every 2nd week I do 10x10<10 mins for chest. That'll sort you.

i used to do this routinely, and with only 1 minute rest in-between sets. and i supersetted the first four sets with a set of 10 on front squats... which cut into my rest time.
and i suck at squats. some "challenge" ::)

Did you do it with 225 and are you lean?

No real challenge. It's just GVT I do with DBs for chest. I just try to do my ten sets in under 10 mins, is all. Last couple of sets can be tough.

yes, and yes
Of course you should adjust it to your bodyweight.
I am 180 lbs and used 225.
How much do you weigh and I will adjust it to equal that in proportion.

i weigh between 200 and 205 now, at 6'3"... i did 225 10x10 with 1 minute rests fairly recently.
back when i did this sort of thing routinely, though, with the front squats, i was probably more like 220.
-
I will again quote the great Bob Chic: "It's not how much you lift, but how much you look like you can lift." You guys can have these challenges ::) I bet there is some skinny-fat kid out there who can do this. What does that prove?

You will need to do your bodyweight multiplied by 1.25
Ok so you will need to use 256 lbs. Choose 255 or 260.

Proves that no matter what, YOU will be unable to do any of it. I don`t think you even lift, bro.

Well then there you go. Challenge is on. 1.25 Times your body weight. 100 reps. Ass to Ground. 30 minutes.
It really is an awesome workout. Especially for Naturals.

At 220 you would have had to do 275 lbs to equal it.

Lol!!! Nice try. Never claimed I could. Don't even dream I could at this point. I don't train like that. Could I train for it? Possibly. I just don't give a shit. This challenge would not affect a body's composition one bit.

I weighed 220 this morning.
Not sure if I could do 275 for 100 reps within half an hour - it's possible, but very very tough.

Johnny, Since you weigh 325 lbs I think, you would have to do 406 (405) for 100 in under 30 minutes Ass to Ground. Its doable.

Are you implying that the weight to weight strength ratio, is flawed? No way anyone can do 405x100.
-
Are you implying that the weight to weight strenght ratio, is flawed? No way anyone can do 405x100.
Nope. This guy weighs much less than Falcon and I am sure he could do 405 for 100 in under 30 minutes.
Here he does 405 for 20 in one set.
-
Can you do it? I did it and it was pretty tiring. I also did 15 sets of Biceps afterwards.
I have done 40 reps with 225, in one set, with two weeks of training...Before I watched your video i was thinking, holy shit I could never do a 100 reps, it would kill me...So I was let down that he did it in sets of 10

What is your bodyweight?
-
I have a long way to go to earn this certification.
It would be a lot easier to get a certification from one of those strip mall "colleges" like vince went to.
-
I'd take your challenge but I can't do squats real well these days.
-
I think a lot of people on here could do squats, 1.25 times their bodyweight for 100 in under 30 minutes and it not be too difficult. I thought at first that it was too easy, especially when I got to the 50 mark. After 50 it got more tiring. I would rate the difficulty somewhere around 6-8 out of 10 to be honest.
-
Ok for the next challenge I am thinking 100 pullups in 15 minutes or less, arms lock out at bottom and no kipping is used, chin must go above bar each rep.
This guy did it in 21 minutes and I think that is too easy. 15 minutes is a bit better for a challenge and I may have to adjust that time down even.
-
i tried the challenge with 255 lbs... i kept up the pace for about 5 minutes (on target for 25 minute total completion) doing 2 reps every 30 seconds, but figured even if i were able to complete it (unlikely), i would be seriously risking injury.
not happening, lol. the 100 pullups in 15 minutes would be dramatically easier for me... i've done 35 in one set before.
how about this one? this would be pretty tough. i think i could get close, but i've only ever done 5 muscle ups once in my life, and there's no way in hell i could do them after all the other stuff.
in short, the challenge is:
5 muscle ups
45 dips
25 pullups
55 pushups
5 muscle ups
in under 6 minutes

That is a Tough one right there!
Muscle Ups are no joke and do take practice. I will have to consider this one for sure. I think the 100 pullup is a go and will add that one.
On your squats- You were just getting warm! I think you could have done it. It does get much, much more difficult as you go on. I did 10 sets of 10 and it was burning, sweat poring-I was working out in 85 degree weather, and breathing like a locomotive towards the end. I also drank a half gallon of water during the whole thing.

I did something like this a couple years back with some guys at the gym.
did 100 reps with for 405lb on the deadlifts in less then an hour. I still think I can pull that off

I usually do around 20-25 on my first set.

Just because you can`t do it, does not mean that I did not. Give it a try, you might be surprised. I actually thought more people would call this too easy. Guess I was wrong. :-\

Guys over 200 pounds, whether they are solid muscle or not, would have a tough time with that. It's the same reason you don't see 200 pound gymnasts. The power/weight ratio does not stay at a 1:1 ratio as people get larger....muscle or not.
Think automobiles, a car with a 400 hp engine can hit say 150mph, to get to 170 it requires another 200 hp...numbers aren't exact, but the theory is a fact.

Here is Timbahwolf doing 100 in under 8 minutes.

-
at 57 this stuff does not apply to me.
i train back one day and one
day legs maybe 6 days apart
and ride a bike. the rest i do on
fuck off days and cant do shoulders.
arms i can do once a month twice at most
as they easily maintain size and strength.
volume destroys me.
i was a quarter miler in high school.
that's what my genetics are suited for.

Ok so Challenge 2.
Challenge 2- 100 pullups in 15 minutes or less, arms lock out at bottom and no kipping is used, chin must go above bar each rep.
Tomorrow is Back and Shoulders day so I will give this one a go. I think it will be easier than the Squat.

What do I get out of it?

I train for myself anyways so it doesn`t matter to me what anyone thinks I can or can`t do. Pretty pathetic though if you think its impossible to do 1.25 times your bodyweight on Squats for 100 reps in under 30 minutes. I did it in 85 degree weather even. :D
-

not a
damn thing

gotta love the enthusiam to just do 225 for 100 reps
should be more of this type of material posted

You could probably handle it. It really wasn`t too difficult. Especially when you see the clock ticking.
I am going to try the 100 pullups in under 15 minutes tomorrow. Feel free to post some challenges my friend, I`d love to give them a try!

i'm actually tempted to do both at the same time. they're just 10x10 so alternate 10 squats and 10 pullups, see what happens. i've certainly done stranger. i'm almost positive i could do the whole circuit in under 30.

It sneaks up on you. I could really feel it about 50-60. I finished somewhere between 25-27 minutes. Of course I just did the 1.25 times body weight squats for 100. I think I could beat that time easily now that I know what I am in for.
After that I did do 15 sets of Bicep work, including drop sets, but I didn`t time those at all.
-
Most I ever did was 220 lbs X 165 reps,
was trying to go for 200 reps but just couldn't go any more! And pretty sure it took me more than 30 mins though!

The pullups might fuck you up. You are a beefy dude if i remember correctly.
-
If someone just posted a video of themselves doing 10 correct pushups I'd be damn impressed.

This is worth trying......I know some gettbiggers on here are born Hercules... ;D, but I believe there will be results from this......I'll give it a try
-

i'll set my phone to record when i give it a shot. if i succeed, i'll post it. if i fail, i'll pop on here and go "yep that didn't work at all" and no video.
-
this is piss easy.
i know becausae thats pretty much my easy day leg workout
Give it a try. 1.25 times your body weight for 100 under 30 minutes for squat.

Challenge 2 will be attempted today.

serious question...
you suggest a ratio of 1.25 bw for squats...
what ratio would you suggest for dealifts...bench...and shoulder press?
thanks
-
well that didn't go well at all. i was aiming for the squat/pullup combo, was in the 5th set, around the 16 minute mark, and everything just went out on me. threw up in a trash can, that was the end of it. my fault for trying something like this hung over. like the idea, though, willing to bet if i trained specifically for it i could get it in not TOO long.

Not sure as I haven`t experimented with that just yet. Bench will be my toughest for sure though.

100 Pullups in 15 minutes. Pause at the bottom with lockout, chin above bar every rep.
5 Sets Close Grip Lat Pulldown
5 sets Standing Upper back Pulls

Challenge Complete Bros!
I was able to do 100 in 15 minutes going all the way down, with a pause, no kipping, chin above bar.
I want to lower it to 12 minutes now. I also completed these on an Ultra Thick Bar which made it much more difficult I think. If I recall, the thinner the bar, the easier it is on your grip. My Twig like Forearms were on fire.
Rest of the workout went great as well. I will have to come up with a chest challenge next.

Challenge 3- Body weight on the bar to 100 in 12 minutes.
I tried to make this one challenging, yet doable first time out as Bench Press is by far my worst lift of any.
-
I`m considering that actually. So far these challenge are average and nothing really that great. I`d like to keep them up and see what I can do with them though.
-
no lie, i'd love to see a vid of one of these. i think the challenges are tough as balls, it'd be rad to see one done.

great thread idea
especially the no video part
-
Ok, workout for today. Kind of sore from the past two days of workouts/challenges but I am going to do this anyways. Day off tomorrow I think-we will see about that.
Anyways:
Chest and Triceps
Chest
Challenge 3: Body weight (180 lbs) for 100 reps in 12 minutes or less Bench Press
Dips-5 sets with added weight. 5th set is done without weight.
DB Flyes-5 sets
Triceps
Close Grip Bench Press-5 sets
V Bar Cable Pressdowns-5 sets
100 Close grip Pushups
And thats it.
-

The bench press is going to be difficult I think for me but we will see. It may not be as I have no way of knowing until I do it.
-
Allright Bros. Completed the workout, but failed the Challenge.
I also decided to change the 100 close grip pushups at the end to Regular pushups to 100 because my tris were burning.
Here is what happened. At the 12 minute mark I was at 50 reps. I decided to reset the clock and get to 100. At the 24 minute mark I was at 90 reps and finished 100 at around 27 minutes.
I have A LOT of work to do if I want to complete my own challenge of 12 minutes, 100 reps of body weight bench press. It was a great workout nonetheless.
-

i wouldnt post a workout video on here
then again i dont claim i can do shit

be better if anyone that claimed they could do it had a shred of proof

how much water you drinking a day?
-
how much water you drinking a day?
A ton. Probably 3 gallons or so. I drink a half gallon just during training alone and a half gallon right when I wake up. Then I refill my half gallon container a few times in addition to all of that. Its a lot of water. I pee outside because I`d waste so much water if I flushed it all.
-
In fact, I just came in from peeing outside.

True, or just dont flush till you go to sleep.

PTPS
-
I tried the barbarians requirements (2013 version) a couple of months ago, and what you don't account for is the muscle ups zapping so much 'explosive' energy.
Also after the dips, your tri's are pretty burned which makes the 55 push ups extra difficult.
Without the 6 minutes time limit, it would be more acheiveable because the extra rest from muscle ups would help the pull ups, and resting from dips would make the push ups a breeze.

Challenge #4: Masturbate 43 times in a row. This is one video we do NOT want to see.

have you ever tried this
with a training partner do 10 reps and keep passing the bar to each other until one of you drops out
its a great motivator especially against someone of similar strength

I use to do this all the time but never could get under the 10 minutes. Had one in the 11 and a half minute mark at my best.
Usually start at 15 reps for 2 sets then 10 reps for 2 sets the 8 reps for 2 then 6 for 2 sets then the rest 3 or 4 at a time. It's fucken hard bro

I use to do this all the time but never could get under the 10 minutes. Had one in the 11 and a half minute mark at my best.

Anybody do 100's? Find a weight you think you can do a 100 reps for or as close as you can get! That is for 1 set! Do 1 set for each exercise that you normally would so for your workout, till you do the whole body! Do it once every few months or so! The burn is absolutely insane!

I figured I might as workout today instead of a day off. Legs and Biceps. I will do a Bicep Challenge today instead of Legs as I just did one a few days ago. Plus, today is my heavy day for Squats.
Challenge 4: Bicep Barbell Curls half of Body weight (90 lbs) for 200 reps in 15 minutes. Form must be perfect, no swinging, no back movement, no hips thrusting-if the weight cannot be lifted without breaking form, take a rest.
Workout will be:
Squats:
4 Sets HEAVY-Rep Range- 5,5,5,2
Hamstring Leg Curls-5 sets
Leg extensions-5 sets of 20
Biceps:
Challenge 4 Bicep Barbell Curls half of Body weight (90 lbs) for 200 reps in 15 minutes.
Standing Preacher Curls-5 sets
Hammer Curls with Tricep Bar-5 sets

Dumbass challenge. For anyone that trains in a traditional bodybuilding routine of 4-5 sets, 8 reps, sure this will seem real hard, but one month of preparing for it, doing higher and higher reps and sure enough you can prep your body for it. You sound worst than those fucking crossfit cunts

Ya this shit is all circuit training type shit, not feasible to go out of your regular routine to do this, it would take anyone 4 to 5 workout to maximize there potential on the time.

Squatting 225 (or 1.25x bodyweight) for 100 reps in under 30 minutes can't be that hard to do.
My regular squat workout used to be 8 sets of 10 reps with a lot more weight than 1.25 times my bodyweight... 2-3 times a week.
Will think of a more challenging one and then try to do it... 100 full reps of wide overhand grip chin-ups in less than 15 minutes or curling half my bodyweight for 200 reps in under 15 minutes would be pretty much impossible for me to do though. Will work on the chins but curling half my bodyweight for 200 reps in less than 15 minutes is something that I would have to really focus on for a long time and even then I probably could never get it done with strict form. Biceps was never a strong point for me ... but somehow I can't imagine anyone actually doing this.

Yeah, I didn`t find the 1.25 times bodyweight squat for 100 too difficult. Somewhere around a 6-8 difficulty first time out. I bet the next time is even easier.
As far as workouts today, I will have to postpone to tomorrow as I have a lot of things I have to take care of, including baking 3 Pizzas. I did 3 days in a row workouts and figure a day off might be good anyways. I will probably do another 3 days in a row after today-each with a new challenge of some sort in addition to all my Heavy lifting.

bro I am not dissing the idea, it is fun but no one can just stop their traditional training and get these numbers right off the bat, they need to get their tendons and ligaments prepped up and push the lactic acid so it becomes more tolerent for several workout before they can do their best. 8)

I didn`t stop my traditional training. All Heavy-15-20 sets in addition to one challenge.

The body is not that fragile of system. Think of it this way...if your friend was trapped under a car, would you say "hang on a sec...I have to warm up first" before trying to lift it off of them? If you are training with such huge heavy loads, do you not think your ligaments and tendons are strong enough to handle some repetitive lighter weight?

No I don't think they are and I will tell you why;
I have been banging out 365 on flat recently for reps of 8, last work out got 10 reps. Now I did 32 reps with 2 plates and gave out due to lactic acid, I can easily hit 38-40 but i need several workout, i know when I fail at 38-40 it's the muscle failing cause it still slowly moves for the last 3 reps and when it was the lactic acid it simply stopped on a dime, even if I dropped weight I couldn't continue cause it was not the muscle that failed.
It simply is not conditioned for this at the moment, i don't know exactly how to explain it but your body does need a few workouts to adjust to a different degree of training that much is certain.

You just spoke about lactic acid, but did not support the statement that you feel your ligaments and tendons need time to adjust. Oh, and yes, the muscle failed along with your body's ability to process the metabolic 'waste'. Lactic acid is not the be all, end all enemy to muscular fatigue. That, along with things like calcium, potassium, as well as ADP and magnesium (to name a few) determine how more work you could do. Your body could not recruit enough of the motor units necessary to contract under that particular load. Thats not to say that your muscle couldn't contract because no one ever achieves true 100% muscular failure. Yes, the body will have adjust to certain things. The body loves homeostasis. So, even with your larger loads it has to adapt and change.

Well not in the mood to discuss science, you could be right in what you wrote, I don't know.
What I do know is if I go to the gym tomorrow I will get at least 35 reps on 2 plates and if I did it again in a few days I will get 38 and then again I will get 40. The jump from 32 reps to forty has nothing to do with me gaining strength or having bigger muscles since it took 4 workouts in a span of 12 days, it is simply cause my body adjusted accordingly.

Its not a matter of right or wrong. It is what it is.
What you just described is gaining strength. Like it or not, it is getting stronger. What do you think strength means? You body adapted by becoming more efficient. Be it by recruitment of motor units, handling metabolic waste, turn over of ADP into ATP, etc.

Yup. Not too many 225 pound guys that can crank out set after set of 10 chinups. I normally go 12, 10, 8, 6 and I'm toast.

I figured I might as workout today instead of a day off. Legs and Biceps. I will do a Bicep Challenge today instead of Legs as I just did one a few days ago. Plus, today is my heavy day for Squats.
Challenge 4: Bicep Barbell Curls half of Body weight (90 lbs) for 200 reps in 15 minutes. Form must be perfect, no swinging, no back movement, no hips thrusting-if the weight cannot be lifted without breaking form, take a rest.
Workout will be:
Squats:
4 Sets HEAVY-Rep Range- 5,5,5,2
Hamstring Leg Curls-5 sets
Leg extensions-5 sets of 20
Biceps:

Standing Preacher Curls-5 sets
Hammer Curls with Tricep Bar-5 sets
Ok Bros. FAILED this one too.
I got 120 reps of half my bodyweight in 15 minutes. I did this AFTER my Heavy leg day and it was extremely difficult but I soldiered on anyways. I could have gotten more I think but this is a good base line to improve upon. One of the best arm workouts I think I have ever done, despite being drenched in sweat.
These challenges are turning out to be some of my best workouts ever.
