October: Daily Burpup Challenge

[Ted Apollo]

Starts tomorrow!!!!

this will be a 30 day challenge. a burpup (or burpee to pull up) is a combination of a burpee and a pull up. to perform a burpup you execute a burpee under a pull up bar. at the end of the burpee during the jumping phase you use that momentum from the jump to complete a pull up for 1 rep.

we will perform an additional +2 burpups everyday. so on october 1st you will do 2 burpups, then on october 2nd you perform 4 burpups, on the 3rd you perform 6 burpups, and so on....... until on day 30 you perform 60 burpups.

these movements can be performed at any point in the day, broken up into as many sets as needed, and into different sessions if need be. (grease the groove)

if you start late or miss a day you will be able to buy in by executing all of the previous days missed burpups in order to keep up with the overall daily challenge total.

i choose to make this a 30 day challenge on purpose because i figured everyone can have halloween off, but if you want to charge it & do 62 feel free.

Good to see you back in the monthly challenge mode, Ted.

Did 6 burpups to buy in.

This will truly be a challenge since we're shutting down the Unit 1 reactor
tomorrow for a 30-day refueling outage => long hours and chaos at work.

Also, Concept 2 usually ends October with their skeleton crew challenge:
row at least 31,000 meters total from 10/25 through 10/31,
I did it last year and it's great for getting some concentrated focus on rowing.
