At least 100 honest reps of your choice of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, and results. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other. Full guidelines and conditions are below.
Daily exercise idea (not a requirement for the challenge) - Arnold Dumbbell Press

*BONUS TIP - NEVER do this...

Challenge Overview:

- Start your reply with "Challenge Completed".
- Reply with a list of the exercises and reps you did.
- Cumulative tallies are appreciated as a separate line.

- Upvoting or resteeming is appreciated to reach more.
- Try to upvote as many contributors as possible to motive each other.
Advice:
- Stretch before and after.

- Start with exercises you enjoy to build up for harder ones.
- Take before pictures to appreciate results over time.
- Feel good about your accomplishments.
My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
100 Calf Bar Raises (75 pounds)
My Daily Assessment:
I'm running low on hope for reaching more people who are willing to support this post. I hate how I can't get this to grow more rewards for all of the effort. If anyone has any tips since many of you thankfully have your own supportive blog posts often making much greater rewards, I'd love to hear them.
Punishing my legs more after lots of air squats this week. I really want to be loose in my upper body for pitching this weekend since my right trap was very tight last weekend to impair me quite a bit.

From @musclegirlfusion:
"Since I started posting in this challenge, you've given me a reason to blog on steemit. No matter how discouraged I get when it seems like no one is reading what I write, I know I can write it and post it here and it adds to the challenge. So thank you for giving me the motivation I need to stick with blogging!!"
From @bitfiend:
"After starting 6 days ago I already feel stronger. This is definitely the most consistent exercise I've done in an extremely long time but I am happy to be taking part! While I walk around mostly in pain, I know it's all for a good cause! My health! I am feeling better and I'd say my sickness is mostly gone now. I think that if I had not been exercising, I may have been sick for a bit longer. Persistence pays off!"
From @mightpossibly:
"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."
From @notorious562:
"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."
From @khufu:
"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."

Hey @steemmatt what time are you posting. I guess things may have changed when I was on vacation.
It initially varied to try to get more eyes on it as an experiment, but now it's harder to tell because I'm not home as much and able to post without my laptop for the Excel files to run the counts/charts. Usually late evening EST or very late EST.
Okay, so are we back to late nights? I want to make sure I am posting on time. Thanks for the heads up.
Probably around 12-3am EST.
Okay well I would probably have posted by then. Thanks for the heads up brother. Still hoping a huge whale drops some major steem and SBD on you for continuing this challenge.
