We had ourJanuary Novice comp yesterday, unearthed some new talent

I judge Simon harshly because he deadlifted 240kg@78kg in my gym His effort is so poor, by our standards, and he knows this, that my 59kg wife would smash his 25 rep effort with 150% bodyweight (90kg x 25) He was once the strongest guy in my gym, now would get beaten by the women I'm not judging anyone else on here, but he's one of mine

I'm in half a mind to post this crap effort for all the old ns.com guys to see I'll spare you the embarrassment.

f**kstic, I cant see the video Should I mention I am VERY disappointed at your result lol

dont train "legs", do squats

I told the guys in the gym about this challenge, they think its a great idea, getting you guys deadlifting. No non members are eligible obviously, but theyre having there own little comp in here Martin went 227.5kg x 10 @80kg body weight I have vids but I wont put them up here unless you guys want to see them Obviously no one here is going to do 1.5 x bw for max reps. I think Nina is going to have a crack at 100kg for max reps tomorrow, she weighs 59kg. I'd be surprised if she doesnt get 20 reps Keep going fellas, good to see you guys deadlifting

Good on you for having a crack Damien.

Oh, I agree. Max's PB is 155kg paused, he's never tried more touch and go. In fact he pauses all his reps now Gym lifters drop over 10kg when they try to pause, some drop another 10 when they have to touch there chest

Make sure your phone is fully charged Simon lol, it could be filming for a while

Nice idea Tolga, good luck getting it to happen. Some should be excluded though, yourself, Nick and Simon. No one on here will beat Ghosty at this challenge, or most challenges I'm surprised some think that added bodyweight is a massive advantage on deadlifts By the way, we can have a full height 20kg bar at PTC(15kg ladies bar and 2 x 2.5kg technical plates)

A competition bench is done with a pause on the chest, bum on the bench, feet cant move Many that have lifted at my novice comps are stunned how much they lose when they have to it properly That will be a great total Nick at sub 90kg, 565kg at your first States is great. Max did 462.5kg at his Very different to a gym lift

The training is irrelevant, its what I've been trying to tell people for years now. It was the diet that changed his appearance, not the reps/sets or exercises he did. If you train to get stronger and eat to get leaner, and do it with no f**k ups, you will improve your appearance. Fact is Dan got weaker on the program he was doing, but getting stronger wasnt the goal. He measured at 8% body fat this week, but he is now back doing a pure powerlifting routine, has been for the past few weeks, hence why his lifts have skyrocketed, and his added calories have resulted in good weight gains. Train for strength eat for lean. Its been done that way for decades. For those of you that still think there is a magic routine, Dan squatted, benched, inclined, deadlifted, seated pressed, leg pressed, skull crushed, curled, dipped. He pretty much went to failure each set. There was lots of volume and he trained around 4 days a week.

Daniel trains at PTC now, even though he has owned a gym for 9 years thats 15 minutes away. Not that its anybodies business, but Daniel didnt take any drugs. He totaled 612.5kg at Nats in June, then bombed at ProRawFour. He was very ripped at ProRawFour, he only squatted 190kg and missed a 135kg bench press 3 times. Anyone that knows anything about Anavar knows its awesome for strength. He got much weaker. Now that he's 16kg heavier he has squatted 240kg and benched 165kg, not really earth shattering lifts for a 103kg lifter. He didnt touch clen or ephedrine. Remember this wasnt for a comp, he was doing to prove to himself that he could. These results were from food, exercise and discipline, and he did it for himself. His lifting went backwards during this period, but it was something he wanted to do.

Dan has been competing at Powerlifting since 2010 He fought at 88kg, his heaviest bodyweight ever was 113kg He is looking at 700kg for Nats in either the 100/110kg class

22 weeks between pics. His pinch test was done on the same day at the same time by the same guy, every week. Dan is 2 x World Kickboxing Champion, WKBF and IKBF in 2005

At the 2012 GPC Nationals, Daniel America totalled [email protected]. Two or three weeks later, Dan had his bodyfat % tested, it was 14.5% December 16, Dan competed at my novice comp, he went [email protected] He tested his bodyfat % and it was 7.2%. Two and a half weeks earlier, he was [email protected]% Here are the before and after photos, he did zero cardio
