    I feel like I let you down guys. I attempted the 200 and it took me too long.
    10:04 was my time. :/

    Now I gotta see my gym buddy do it in person. Because I didn't even come close to beating him.

    Thats still a pretty damn good time my friend. I wouldnt be able to get 100!

    That give you a time of around 3seconds per rep. I would demand to see him do it in person! I bet by the end he was only doing half reps or something and hence managed them faster! Its a challenge though, I think with a little super GVT on your dips you could really get to 8:30 in no time.

    That's no let down! That's a whole lot better than I can do. Good work my friend!! Proud of you.

    THAT is a great piece of advice. I never though to do that. And actually i can see that working VERY well and being extremely advantageous for several reasons.

    I will use my first set during the Challenge to "warm up." And if you guys are anything like me, i always feel twice as strong during my second set. I figure i will have 40-50 reps rattled off in the first two sets. Third set will be 20-25 and then 10-15 the remainder of the Challenge. Of course this is simply my armchair theory at this point.

    But i believe this way, you reserve your gas for about 4 sets at least. My .02
