Sharkathon 2019
December 24, 2018, 05:43:13 pm
Enjoy the next 7 days then kick start the New Year with Sharkathon  :boxing:

The only rule is 30 mins of any type of exercise for every day of January. That can range from the stretching you always keep meaning to do and pinky encores

Feel free to state other aims for the month - going dry, weight loss.

I am aiming to forsake all alcohol (managed last Sharkathon) and an average seven day weight of just below 70kgs

Good luck to all who partake in the annual Sharkathon.

I’m in for my shoulder operation on Friday the 11th, so out of action for a good few months afterwards  :wavecry:

I'm in.

A combination of back injury, wedding, honeymoon and now the festive season has resulted in me nudging 80kg.

Aim is sub 78kg by end of Jan

I’m in! On a two week holiday, maintaining a little but want to get Fighting Torque within a couple of months so want to get back up to peak.

We are doing family Christmas(s) in January, so will pause a little for that, but other than that, no booze, no eating crap and 30 mins a day activity (a lot will be yoga I think!)

Well, after a year of relative sloth, I need to do something to try and get myself active again so I'm in...

I probably should be IN in the context of "must do something every day to either improve tennis elbows or maintain stuff around them"  :-\

My bendy twisty bar stuff seems to be working on mine Fiend. Still twinges when I none down hard on left hand crimps (esp Rickover on rf) but noticing definite improvements on non climbing days.

Hope yours get better.

Almost failed at the first hurdle, but roused myself to squeeze out:

50 pull ups, 100 press ups, and 100 leg raise things (when you lie on your back with your legs in the air and raise your hips off the ground).
70.7 kgs.
No booze.

Effort Duma.

Despite last nights food and fine wine consumption had a surprisingly good home session this afternoon. Repeated my two Oak board problems three times and added an extra 2.5kg to max hangs session.

Left my scales in Devon  :slap: so ordered a new set.

Out with my boys on the grit tomorrow.

I had a massive portion of cod and chips for lunch - followed by cheese, soup and tortilla in the evening.

My fruit based exercise watch informs me I have exceeded sharkathon requisite exercise for today. Mostly 17kg sack carries for a few KM.

Mine will feature a lot of stretching but today I had a nice walk around Rivelin and did some stretching once getting back to Leeds.

12.5cm from touching toes!

Today has been pretty humbling, it started with me unable to put on my right sock so I decided Sharkathon was a good opportunity to get some mobility type stuff done. I failed on my first press-up when my left shoulder collapsed (recurring issue) and I couldn't do a single squat. So I warmed into it gently and spent 40 minutes stretching and doing various things and by tonight I was able to put my sock on and off whilst standing up and managed a few press ups, so pretty psyched to continue.

Hell no!

But 10 minutes of jumping around before to keep warm, 10 minutes in the sea and 10 minutes post swim shivering means I'm taking it  :)

I was working nights New Year’s Eve and was busy at midnight so did end up eating a load of crap at 0100 when we had finished! Going to count that as 2018...

1 hour 45 mins comp style bouldering before last nights shift started. Nothing very hard, but lots of volume. Nice to be climbing again after two week break.

No booze! I will be drinking at fake Christmas this Saturday, I think for any day I drink in Jan I’ll make up for it with a week in Feb...

Cheers TT. Still at the acute stage and struggling to get the "keep it moving" and "don't aggravate it" balance anywhere near right! Except:

1 - very slabby bouldering, ace, didn't hurt elbows at all.
