This could have been a post but screw it, I hope you don't mind the long replies!
The highlight reminded me to tell you that I hope you keep it going! Knowing that the challenge is in action reminds me and pushes me to get involved. I may skip a few days but I definitely plan on being a part of it as much as I can.
100 reps is not hard to do , it just isn't. It also does wonders for your body (I know from having experienced it once after a short 100 days).
I didn't participate yesterday and my legs felt like spaghetti noodles so I definitely wasn't doing squats, but I could have and should have done something else.
Today was a jobsite day and my legs still feel like spaghetti noodles. I had to load and unload about 50 sticks of 20 foot rebar. I went with 3 at a time but should have carried more. I also carried three 1/2" 8x4 sheets which was not bad but it was windy so I was fighting that too which gave my obliques a small workout. These were probably the most work-out intensive things I did. The rest was minor shoveling, picking up rocks into a wheel barrow, cutting rebar and laying the rebar grid. I think I got 100 reps worth of something but still want to do more but I have to be up at 5:30 am for work and I just need a good rest because I normally don't start til 9, + it's normally office work.
As I went to post this, I said screw it, and I did 50 leg raises. I may not be able to do air squats, but it's so easy to do 100 reps on muscles that aren't sore.... (except pushups of course, I really hate those) After the leg raises, I got a pretty bad abdominal muscle cramp/spasm. Well it wasn't that bad, I was able to prevent the full tightness of it. I probably should have stretched before doing it.
Now dinner is done and I'm starving, so I have to finish the rest later. I don't want to leave this post just"pending" so you can call it 50 reps unless I come back and update, but I don't know how I'll feel after eating. Might want to just go straight to bed with a food coma.
