No equipment needed for this one. Push-up ladder challenge: do a set, rest, do another, climbing reps each round until you fail, then ladder back down. Total your reps and post them. Do it 3x this week and try to beat your number. My total today: 140. Go.

Did it - absolutely cooked. Total: 72. My chest is done. Great way to train at home with zero gear.

72's a solid start, ladders are deceptively brutal. Beat it by Friday.

Total: 95. The ladder format is sneaky, you think you're fresh then round 6 humbles you. Doing this on my rest days for extra volume.

Came in at 160. Love a bodyweight burner. Tip: keep strict form on the way down the ladder when you're tired, half reps don't count toward your tally.

Form polices itself here - cheat reps just inflate a number you have to beat next time. Strict only.

Total 128. Good shout for travel/no-gym days too, I'll keep this in my back pocket for when I can't get to the gym. In for the week.

Great numbers all. Running tally: me 140, GymNoob 72, LiftLad 95, FlexNewb 160, GymRat 128. Beat your own number by the weekend, that's the game.
