Ultimate Powerball Challenge

[Adrena1in]

In response to an idea from Gigabyte, how about we have an Ultimate Powerball Challenge scoreboard, just on here?

The idea is this. Do a 30s Strength run, rest for a minute, then a 60s Strength run, another rest for a minute, then a 90s Strength run, (all Strengh Runs are one-hand only, and no Edouard Technique), final rest for a minute, then, still using the same hand, a single speed run. Add all the scores together to get the UPC Total.

Heres my first tries. Had to stop and regrip way more than I should've. And the 30s and speed runs are just complete crud.

I like it. I will give it a go in a few days.

I'm glad you all like the UPC that we created here at our work.

I need some new 250hz balls as I will be returning mine this week as I think the shells are bad but about a month ago I did...

With a new ball I would love to see what I can do now....

Now who wants to do a UPC with the metal?

Now who wants to do a UPC with the metal?

I'll pass.

[LTLFTC]

Well here are my latest efforts from last night
Left_____________Right
30's 6185________6399
60's 10435_______10953
90's 14151_______13827
Spd 12732_______12973
Tot 43503 _______44152

Right is 44152/48687x100=90.7% of potential

My 90's seems to really let me down. Last night was after an hour session
and I was just dying in the 90's section. I went hammer and tong in the 30 and 60 and had zippo left.
Adrenalin and Installed you both seemed to have heaps left. It's hard to see where your going to get that extra 2k from Tim

I do really love it as an Endurance training exercise though I hope in a few weeks I'll be kicking into high 18ks we'll see

[barrybpl]

This is an interesting new idea, always good when someone comes up with a new challenge. I can't see myself scoring very highly, but I'll give it a go.

What do you do during the one minute rests though, just keep the ball ticking over in the other hand?

Barry.

[Adrena1in]

I'll do it with the Metal...once the blisters have healed a bit! (Not Powerballed much lately, so a sudden hard few minutes like this really wasn't the best idea last night! Wrists are hurting a bit today too! )

And in the minute rest I just keep the Powerball going gently in the other hand, while putting my figures into Calculator to tot them up.

LTLFTC - my 90s is definitely where I make big leaps, and I was also pleased to get 14k speed. But I've just realised I made a mis-calculation. I was thinking that if I could do 13k for 30s, 12k for 60s and 11k for 90s, that would average out to 12k over the 3 minutes...36k. And it wouldn't be that difficult. Then 14k speed to reach 50k. But I was wrong. Those strength runs would actually add up to 35k. Hmmm. (Still think I can do 50k though.)

I like your thinking trouble is if I do close to my record for 30's and 60's I'm nailed in the final minute of the 90's I struglle to hold 10k
