It was a close one yesterday as the Tabata Squat Off came to an end. Jake and Anna tied up at 19, but Alex took the Cup with a whopping 20 squats! Excellent job everyone! It was a pleasure watching you guys push each other this month!

For March, the challenge will be Pull Ups. So, like the Burpee Challenge of December, we did 1 pull up yesterday, 2 today, and so on until we do 31 at the end of the month. If you miss a day, you’ll have to make it up the next day in order to stay in the running. Bands are allowed if you’re still working on your pull ups. Kipping is allowed, but if you have strict pull ups, start with those. Full extension at the bottom and chin over bar at the top.

If more than one person completes the challenge, we’ll have a pull up contest on the last day. That means 31 pull ups PLUS a contest after.

Don’t forget, we have the Total coming up Thursday/Saturday, so make sure you get your rest day(s) in!

Question: Do you have to hang on the bar for the whole set or can you break them up (as long as you complete the total for the day)?

Thanks Ruth!

@Michael, of all days to miss, Day 1 is a good one!!

@Shauna, they’re consecutive. This challenge is to work up to 31 consecutive pull ups. Strict, kipping, chin up, alt grip, and even bands allowed if you don’t have pull ups without them. They’re good as long as your hands stay on the bar and feet are off the ground.

Having said that, I’m afraid I’m going to end up seeing some creative hanging from the bar techniques… *sigh*
