17,575 Reps From 12 Steemians After 47 Days - The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge - Push-ups/Squats/Shoulder Presses - Day 48
We had 300 reps from 3 Steemians for this round.
I did 40 push-ups, 33 bar shoulder presses of 85 pounds, and 27 air squats while "resting" during my gym workout.
Again, shoulder presses have been added to the challenge options. Please include the weight.
Please step up for yourselves to improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset.
You can work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved.
As long as 100 reps of a combo of push-ups, squats, and shoulder presses are done, reply on my post with those who helped.
I encourage more of this so people don't feel intimidated. The goal is to be happy, proud, and healthy from this exercise and participation.
Excuses are running thin!
Current charts with everyone's stats and progress:
It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness.
Day 47 Results: 300 reps from 3 Steemians for Tuesday EST, 10/1.
- @khufu (AUSTRALIA) - 100
- @mightpossibly (NORWAY) - 100
- @steemmatt (US) - 100
Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved!
My 10/1 Reps & Feedback: 40 push-ups, 33 shoulder presses of an 85 pound bar, and 27 air squats.
I focused on lateral and frontal shoulder exercises, the speed bag, abs/core, and some shrugs.
About half of my push-ups were with 3-second holds at the bottom.
My legs are still gassed. I'll be the starting pitcher at 8:30 AM on Sunday, so I need to recharge these fully, while also getting some light reps in. I guess I'll have no choice but to focus on push-ups as I can't do too many shoulder presses before pitching. Fortunately, push-ups don't seem to be a conflict with my throwing motion/soreness.
Dinner was a chicken wrap with steamed broccoli.
I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work.
Today's Highlights:
- @khufu has recovered from a snake bite with his reps back on track.
- @mightpossibly has gone from a fitness novice to a workout animal.
- @belemo made his own dumbbell from welded recycled parts.
What's the challenge?
100 reps from:
- Push-ups
- Air squats/squats
- Shoulder presses (include weight)

*Team entries are now accepted.
To people new, see the kickoff post linked below. We'll be opening up to other exercise types in due time. I'm trying to keep this simple for now to get everyone assembled and on the same page.
This is for your health. Why not try to join us just once to see how it goes?
To any interested Steemians who want more info/background: *Please see this link from the kickoff post for details.
Everyone please support and encourage the team here. They're working hard to build a community the hard way. It's about the bigger picture.
Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. Use good form to avoid injury and to get the best results.
This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you.
Markets and spirits may be down now, but our health should always be on the rise.
Rep on,
@steemmatt
P.S. - Please use the fitnesschallenge tag if you can.
My reps are here. this time with a better connection.
The hardest thing about going through one of your workouts would be your Euro music. Hahah. The kettlebell shoulder presses seem good for holding your core as well for extra benefit.Do you eat before you workout, right after, or both? I never seem to know what's best before, but definitely eat right after.
Eat 1-2 hours before a workout, and after a workout. Works well on shredding before a workout in the morning on empty stomach - coffee with a spoon of any fat( butter, oil, coconut butter...)
done with my reps sir! :)
What was your breakdown? I'm trying to force myself to do 100 squats now. Halfway there.
100 shoulder presses
100 bench presses
100 butterflies
50 shoulder dislocates
50 push ups
50 air squats
:)
And you passed out until now? That's a lot of reps. How long does that workout take? Let me know the counts when they match the challenge like this so I can add up more than just 100.
well It takes around 90 mins max.
yeah sure Imma break down everything from now on. :)
I got mine done today, 50 of each.
100 reps total.
I had a well deserved rest-day yesterday. Still did my stretching and meditation though.
