#Merkvember2015

October 29th, 2015 By SoloCup

Some guys grow a mustache to support awareness of men’s health issues (i.e. #Movember.) Unfortunately, several members of the PAX (no names needed) are follicly challenged and are unable to grow that outward symbol of Strength and Courage.

#Merkvember was conceived to give everyone a chance to participate #PoeticLicence

What is #Merkvember?

A challenge to do 10,000 Merkins in November. Do them at your own pace, most do a minimum of 333 a day, and “bank” a few so that they can give themselves a break later in the month.

What’s a Merkin?

Maintaining proper form is essential when you are completing this many merkins, if only to keep from hurting yourself.
Click here for an example of proper form: Merkin Example
You may count any type of merkin in your monthly total (e.g. descending, ascending , diamond, one arm, etc…)

How to I participate?

Sure, you could do these on your own, but where’s the fun in that? You certainly do not get to take advantage of the 2^nd and 3^rd F’s.
To hold each other accountable, we will be using a Chat application called Group Me, which is available as an App on iPhone, Andriod, as well as a website.
Join the group: https://groupme.com/join_group/17493913/VjnnqL. You will need to create an account (it’s free) then download the app. I suggest accessing the Settings section and turning off SMS notifications.
Feel free to share pictures and hold each other accountable. You will be responsible for keeping up with your own counts.
After you have joined the group HC below!

If you are having trouble, reach out to me on Twitter (@chadsroberts)

HC. My man-ary glands have tried to make a comeback.

That looks hard. Aren’t these really supposed to be exaggerated elbow bends where your chest doesn’t touch the ground and you come nowhere close to locking out your elbows?

Thanks for reminding me… “RT” Selection Merkins do NOT count.

Was this an HC Hootie?

TBone October 30, 2015 at 9:22 am

I think it should be. Let’s go @Hootie.

Hootie October 30, 2015 at 9:28 am

Looks way too hard and could have a negative impact on my soccer arms.

@TBone – guaranteed I was far stronger at what was happening in Boone and they weren’t Merkins.
SoloCup October 30, 2015 at 9:44 am

Same here…

So Hootie’s in…Who Else?

Hootie October 30, 2015 at 9:50 am

I’m HC for 333 for the month of November.

Exit54 October 29, 2015 at 10:37 am

HC – but only if I’m allowed to do merkins from my knees when the 3-year old is on my back.
TBone October 29, 2015 at 2:11 pm

This should be fun. Looking forward to the challenge.

TBone October 30, 2015 at 9:23 am

While maybe not as enthusiastic as @Clueless, I’m in.
Gamma October 31, 2015 at 11:56 am

And the boys are in for 1000.
OZ October 31, 2015 at 8:30 pm

Why not I haven’t done anything stupid in November yet. HC
