@PayneTrayne This is my "quest".

This did get me the "Century Push" Quest for 350. On a related note I would be cool if Fitocracy users could submit Quest ideas and then have the community vote on them.
Ya I was pretty surprised after I calculated the summation. Thanks for the interesting challenge.
Do the first set of burpees with a knee-high, jump squat. You'll love the rest of the regular burpees after that.
I would assume so. There doesn't seem to be a flat amount of points for bench press and things like that. I've seen light weights getting tons of points, I just assumed they were lighter people.
I know what you mean, which is why I've made beating you my goal since you edged me out during the last challenge. Better get moving - the fat man is ahead of you for now!
Oh and I saw this on Fitocracy and thought about you folks.
When you go into the gym make it personal. Don't let anything stop you. Go into the gym and CRUSH YOUR GOALS.
There's a tri quest? Mission accepted!
!Ravenclaw Deatheaters, represent!
Arm wrestling tourney.

If it's during the day, I will be in costume, and will likely stick out like a sore thumb.
With that being said, I will definitely bring a sign, or wear an incredibly distinguishing piece of clothing as well as post a picture of myself. I only found the people at East who had their pictures as their avatars.
I'm littleicarus on fitocracy. My goal is 155 by pax, fingers crossed(otherwise I fail my SA toxx and have to pay to rereg, sigh). Anyways, I've made decent progress on my lifts, at least, even if I am the only lady in the free weights area. All in all, not bad for only about 1.5 months of serious effort.
I could pretty much listen to that over and over again and be pumped all day. Check out prodigy's songs "invaders must die" and "spitfire". The first gets me mega pumped, the second makes me feel like a bad ass.
As far as a pre or post meetup goes, I'm down! A note on afk, though, is that its about 30-40 minutes north of downtown, and pretty pricey. Really cool atmosphere, food and drinks, though. Another game-themed place is cafe mox, in Ballard(about 15 minutes north of downtown), its decent all around but more about tabletop gaming than video mediums. Less of a variety of food items, too. Both places are pretty spendy. Both are all ages.
I'm down either way(would prefer afk personally), and can offer carpool if people need it. Maybe sometime before the triwizard tournament as a prefunk, or after stuff shuts down Sunday?
i'm slowly working my way to a fitter me!
i go to the gym about 4 times a week, 2 of those with a trainer. I've started a new eating plan and stuff.
now to catch up with this thread....
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
On the subject of meetups and for local Seattlites: will you be up for a meetup before PAX? I'm going to be pretty busy right before PAX and it'll be nice to meet some of you before all of the hooplah.
I don't know the names of some of the exercises that my trainer has me do!
So how do I put them into fitocracy? I know I do more than what I've put in so far for my training sessions, but I don't know the names.

I'm feeling this one with you. I did 3 rounds of 10 clean squats and 20 2ft box jumps for time and was pretty blasted. I wish there was some way to create rounds of exercises with time in the advanced section.
Thinking of picking up a few tickets to Arco's post pax party. Who else is coming? I'd also entertain some pre-pax meetups.
In terms of during event communication I was pretty happy last year with Google+ group chat. What is everybody else using?
I got tickets. It is one of my favorite parts of PAX, so I will be there to buy you a beer if nothing else.
I understand that, Lord knows I've been there. I would say if you can beg, borrow, or steal your way in, it is very much worth it. I really think PAX has the best people in the world, and the PPP has the best of the best.
Its tempting, I've always wanted to go to pax parties, official or not. I feel like I'm missing out on a major part of the pax social experience. We'll see, maybe if I get approved for unemployment and tickets arent sold out.
Anyways, I'm pleased to have finally broken through my plateau on my bench. It's only up 5 lbs, to 90, but I was "stuck" at 85 for like a month since I failed some reps at 95 and was being a chicken about increasing. Feels good, man.
It's not much, but I've only been lifting 2 months, and my squat & bench have gone up 25, and my deadlift 90. Yay progress, even if it is slow, I guess. not bad for a lady
This event sounds awesome already, but I can never say no to free beer. Ticket be bought.
I feel like this was mentioned briefly, but who all is going to run for your lives? My boyfriend and I are on the 11am wave.
We're considering just getting a cheap hotel room the night before, that way we don't have to deal with traffic(and waking up at way-too-early o'clock). If anyone else is interested in splitting the cost of a room, feel free send me a PM.
Myself and two friends are also in the 11:00 wave. I think we'll be waking up early and driving up from Portland. None of us are runners, and we haven't been running to prepare ourselves, but I'm looking forward to zombies all the same.
I might be interested in rooming with you. I don't run, but I signed up as a volunteer today. I think I'm a day late, but hopefully they'll accept my application. If it goes through, I'm all for staying in a motel the night before.
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels>; oh god, what am i doing
