Push-Up Rules and Regulations

After much research I found the universal push-up that we all need to train for. Watch the video below. Keep in mind that the judges can disqualify you from the event if the push-ups are done incorrectly.

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!

Hey Losers!

Training is coming along for some of us. We currently have six competitors. Here are the athletes in a particular order.

• Ariel “The Winner” Remer
• Moishe “Did I just cough up a lung” Eichorn
• Elchanan “no one is afraid of you” Plonka
• Charlie “Are Europeans even athletic” Zolty
• Barry “I didn’t know my legs can go this fast” Nussbaum
• Benzion “Why did I join” Zlotnick
• Chaim “If I am in last place can I still get my money back” Rivlin

As you can see there is really no competition and winning this is going to be a breeze for me. I have also decided to put in my $100 as I am confident I will get it back in the summer. If you or anyone you know is interested in joining The Decathlon please contact me at your own convenience. I would love to take more people’s money.

A little trash talking!

As I am the odds on favorite to win The Decathlon because I am an athlete, who do you think are your best bets? Rivlin has the best odds but he is a serious long shot.

Welcome to The Decathlon

Here is the basic principle of how it is going to work.
We train for ten events and we compete against each other over a couple of weeks in the summer. That gives us 6 months to train, workout etc. If you take it seriously you should lose weight and get in really kick ass shape.
Scoring – If we have 10 guys competing then first place finish in an event gives you 10 points. Second place 9 points and so on and so forth. At the end of all ten events the athlete with the most total points wins.

Here are the list of events in no particular order.

1. 10 Kilometer run (we are going to enter the Zareinu moveathon for this event)
2. Push-ups (who can do the most)
3. Sit-ups (who can do the most)
4. 50 yard dash
5. long jump
6. Pull-ups (who can do the most)
7. 200 yard dash
8. jump rope
9. The “120 Stairs” Challenge – (this is my personal favorite – we run up to the 15th floor cut across the hall and go down the other steps, run across the lobby and go back up. We do it 3 times for a total of 45 flights of stairs).
10. Wild Card Event – This event will be voted upon by the participants.

Here is some inspiration for your enjoyment.
