Sitting at a desk and not exercising is taking a toll so I'm looking forward to this challenge. I'm 37, 6'1", 220 pounds. This is what I was able to do tonight. 

 

Atomic Pushup: 13

Lunge R: 17

Lunge L: 10

45 Degree Row:  22

Hip Press: 18

Squat: 13

 My weekly regimen is as follows: Up to 3 days a week Physical Therapy for my R Shoulder, every other day not at PT is in home PT. 3-5 days a week bicyling or rowing. 2-3 days a week leg strengthening with TRX.  1-3 days a week core strengthening with TRX. 1-3 dys of Grip Training. The exact schedule varies because I like to change things in part based upon conditions.

This thread ROCKS!!  I'm glad to see that it encouraged a lot of otherwise quiet members to start posting!  Since it looks like everyone else is posting their stats to go with their baseline scores here are mine:

Height: 6'2.5" (Kim, I'll give you your half if you give me mine)

Weight: 188lbs w/ roughly 10% body fat (we'll see if this challenge can keep the upcoming "liquid carbs" from changing this too much over the month)

Brown Eyes, Brown Hair, and ladies, I do enjoy long moonlight walks on the beach.    

Fraser:

As for my own scores:

My ego votes Fraser out of the competition!!  Just kidding!  Seriously though, Fraser I'm really diggin the new test-focused circuit style workout that you suggested; starting tomorrow I'm going to give it a try.  I made it to Bagram Air Force base today (1/3 of the way home) and didn't expect to be able to squeeze in a workout so I went to their gigantic chow hall instead and discoverd news levels of ecstasy as I devoured pizza, cheesesteak, bear claws, and ice cream.  Looks like I'll need to do two workouts tomorrow..... ;-)

MTB1999.:

I substituted  Oblique Crunches for the Suspended Lunge.  My "old" knees simply will not handle the lunges.  I think the crunches may better serve my cycling anyway.  TRX drew my attention earlier this year when I realized that my core had turned to pudding after too many years of cycling.

 Any recommendations for exercises that are a bit more knee “friendly” which I could substitute for the lunges?

Sorry, I forgot to include this in the previous post.  I would suggest doing some suspened bicycle crunches and, of course, my favorite: the suspended side planks with hand taps.  Nothing will fire up your core better than those damn side planks.

 As for the knee "friendly" exercises, if squats are tough how about some hamstring curls to help with the up-stroke when cycling (this is always my weakest point) and the Supine Runner for overall leg development.  For the Supine Runner, you essentially put the TRX into single handle config and extend the length, lie down on your back w/your head nearest the anchor point.  Put your heel in the cradle and raise your hips off the ground (your body should be straight with one heel in the cradle, other leg straight out, your weight on your upperback/shoulder area).  Drive your suspended heel towards the ground, thereby raising your hips (while keeping your body aligned) higher so your non-suspended leg is pointing skywards and your bent (suspended) foot is pointing to the ground.  For me, this seems to mostly work the hams, but also gives a good calf workout (could be beneficial for your situation) and challenges the core to keep your body straight. 

Scottie: glad we're on the same page.

Mike: I don't think Fraser is allowed to win this contest, so we're safe

My legs are tired from yesterday. I'm going to have to see what i can do with the jump rope. I better go get started.

Alright this is a great contest. I tested out yesterday but couldn't post till this AM when the kids where sleeping. No time for the PC with the family sometime. Barely enough time to workout but that is a great thing about the TRX, Now I just take the kids to the park, Have them play and I can work out while watching them. Good Stuff As for my own scores: Height: 6'0" Weight: 227 lbs Shoe Size: 12 OK and now for the stats Atomic Pushup: 10 Suspended Lunge R: 16 Suspended Lunge L: 15 45 degree Row: 19 Hip Press: 16 Postural Squat: 18 Test was real trying with the 60 second break and go. Great test though and I will see how I improve over the next 30 days. I am planning on doing a variatin of TRX Workouts at least 5 days a week with jogging/swimming days combined. I have to participate in PT at work plus do TRX so we will see if I get smoked more or not. Thanks for this oppportunity. see you guys more on the forums. JT

Atomic Push Up:  22

Suspend Lunge Lt: 16

Suspend Lunge Rt: 19

TRX 3-5 days/week

DB/KB training for power 2-3 days/week

 Run 15-20 miles/week

Cycle 40-60 miles/week

Here's what I've done today:

Assorted stretches.

Now I'm not good at all Pull Ups, and only a little better at Chin Ups. I couldn't do even one 2 years ago.

Pull Ups: 2
Chin Ups: 4, 1, ½

Jump Rope:
warm up: 4 basic bounce, 4 alternate foot step.
Learning a new skill: total of 140 high steps
3 minutes of basic bounce and alternate foot step, doing 4 basic bounce, 4 alternate foot step, 4 basic bounce, etc... Speed between 120 & 240 jumps per minute. I would have gone for longer, but I started catching the rope too often due to fatigue.

 What a great challenge.  I have theTRX trainer but have not used it.  I moved to Chicago and thought the TRX would be a great way to work out....I did join a gym and have been watching my diet and have lost a lot of weight.  With winter coming there might be days i cant get to the gym and the TRX will be a great way to stay in shape.  This is a good excuse to get into the habit of using it.  By the way check out www.everydayhealth.com its got a great calorie counter and a way to track your weight and activity and best of all its free.  Good luck everybody.  Lets get fit!!!!

I have a lot of work to do.

 I did do a lot of Atomic pushups yesterday, but I was not able get into the pool like I planned. Here's to Day 2 and the possibilities.

This morning I was told a had to do swim qual which for those out who dont know is a very rigorous test for marines that has 4 classes with 4 being the lowest possible qualification and 1 being the highest. It took all of 3 hours but I made it to class 2 and would have gone higher but they did not have the time to complete all the instruction for class 1, but believe me it was work enough just to get class 2. wearing cammies, a flak jacket load bearing vest, kevlar helmet, and a rubber rifle.

I am just getting started on the trx but loving it. I am on the regression for the atomic pushups but doing 10 of all the others. I am working on the military fitness plan with modified cardio. October here we come!
