Question Blue Team POP challenge: week 2

Hey guys, it's week 2, and on the biggest loser, it usually means the dreaded notorious plateau, but that aint gonna stop the blue team!! So this week, you gotta Bring it Harder!

This week, we're having a POP challenge!


Rules: You can edit your record time/number as many times as you like for a specific challenge. The deadline is Midnight (your local time) Sunday for all the daily challenges.
But you may not record the day challenge before its allocated day.

For eg, on tuesday you can try to beat your own record time on monday's challenge, (or do monday's challenge, if you're late to the challenge) but you cannot record wednesday's challenge.


>>>>If you're late to the challenge. don't worry- you can catch up and do the past days challenge!

Good luck!! Try to beat your own personal time, and maybe if you're feeling competitive, try to beat your fellow team mates time! The winner of each specific challenge will be announced next week.

Check back for sunday's challenge - to be announced later.


Copy the template below and edit your own post. Thanks!!

Hey guys, so I thought I would construct a little pop challenge, this is seperate from the official challenge our team leader will be posting.



Thanks!

I will add each day's challenge daily, so check back each day.
Have to think of some for thursday onwards. I welcome suggestions!!

AWESOMENESS! I actually love the idea of different team members coming up with the different weekly challenges. So now your challenge is the "Official" Blue Team week 2 challenge. Thanks!
