2000 points isn't much if your doing the big lifts. Legs and back can get there easy.

When I do BBB I end up doing around 11 for one exercise. But I don't do much else. It's not uncommon for me to have a 2000-3k point day on some weeks.
That said, I'm sure some people bullshit, it's unavoidable.

Just signed up to this. Yay that Krav Maga is in there but no listing for squats?

Tonnes of squat things.

You're right. Found it under "Body Weight Squat".
EDIT: 1 hour of Krav gave me nearly 600 points. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, they are very fair with the rewards for long martial arts sessions.

Not to say it's easy, but I can definitely get 1000+ points a workout without ruining my body or anything (though I don't do 1000+ regularly since I am not so dedicated to my fitness), and while I'm fit, there are many, many others who workout much harder than I do. I don't really think theres that many people who are lying about their workouts. What's the benefit anyway? My fitness only increases if I'm actually doing the things Im logging.

I just joined this. I'm only logging my work sets so it shortchanges my points massively, but I don't care, it's not my warm-ups which are getting me stronger or care to see progression in.

With Krav I can safely say I've earned those points.

I stand corrected about the points, but still can't believe people that are doing 8-12 sets per exercise -- not workout.

It is just one of those "cheating yourself" things. It's all online and pretty anonymous, not point fudging numbers to impress people you will most likely never see.

Xframe, look at this.
That payed out 4200 points. So if I can do it, it's possible others are doing it legit too. I doubt many are, especially since there's a game aspect, but it's possible.

Damn! How long did that take you?

About 2 hours. I was taking long fucking breaks when it came to the military press and DB bench. I did pullups throughout the day. 90 at home before the gym, 20 at the gym and the remaining 90 when I got home again.

Holy shit, that's a lot of points!

heh, says this guy. i'm fighting to stay in the top 15 of our leaderboards!
and goddamn @ Alienshogun, i can't do those military presses at that level but the rest...shit, good plan man.
I've been in and out of the top 20. Cutting has meant less squats and such, which has made me fall out for now. Soon enough though, I'm coming for you guys!

What would people be most interested in for the next challenge? The widowmaker went down like a lead balloon so I'd like to get a few more people involved with this one.
These are the options available:
These are the options available:
I've just been looking at the new challenges, here's a pic:
Will probably do a different one every week to try and make sure everybody can get involved.
Most of those are pretty self explanatory but for the others:
Triathlon: Most points from running, swimming and cycling
Monkeying around: Most pull ups or chin ups (not sure if this is overall or in one set, I imagine the former)
Drop and give me plenty: Most points from push ups, pull ups, crunches, running and sit ups.
Fire Fighter challenge: Most flights of stairs (again not clear if cumulative or in one session but I imagine the former)

man, im doing this Crossfit boot camp with my chick 2-3x a week now which is less points, and then im outta town for a month...if im still in the top 20 when i get back, i'll be happy!
FFA is the safest bet.

The free for all challenge is up. Starts on Sunday and finishes the following Saturday, get entering!

Just signed up. Did a bit of browsing and it's a little unwieldy for set programs like P90X. I did the Core Synergistics program on Tuesday but there's no easy way to log it into the system. And I'm not going through an hours worth of core exercises to up my points. Put it down as intense cardio but it's obviously not going to be worth as much.
I'll be interesting once I start doing Insanity.
Anyway, logged one week of activity and already got level 6 with a few quests. It's an interesting little site for sure and definitely something I could see myself using more than Facebook.

There's a thread on their forum with all the relevant P90x exercises listed. You can save routines too so once you've logged it once, you then only need to change the reps each time.
Hm, this will be good if they have one for Insanity since it's only like five different routines each month.
And it looks like they do! Hurray!

Alright FitGaf you got me to sign up. I'm at the start of a mild cut and building a motorcycle at the same time so I won't be winning jack or shit but I hope this keeps the gym a little more interesting.
Weird seeing my workout on the NeoGaf feed. Damn that means my "idontfeellikegoingbutimightaswell" chin-up/ curl workouts are going up for the world to see.

Only 20 hours left to sign up for the challenge. We could do with a few more participants!

Will jump in and see how I go, might be changing my routine up a bit this week so not as many points maybe.

Yeah, glad I'm not the only one that noticed it and a lot of this shit is bordering on pornography, lol.
