I'm with Troy, it should be a percentage of bodyweight...girls get a smaller percentage due to less testosterone and periods. Otherwise the aesthetics crew get penalised hard by the lardy lifters, who themselves usually compete in weight classes and use glossbrenner to scale. It's your rules, but you're more likely to get everyone competing with a more level playing field.

Oh and should I win one, the next challenge will be a Skyline window selfie.

Here's hoping you don't win then lol

I probably won't be competing in any of these lower body challenges because my legs are weak as piss. I'll have a dig at dips, chins, bench, shoulder press etc though when they come up.

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)

For just about everyone who'll partake in this from here, the "rule" of "more muscle = stronger" will fairly well apply. Of course I realise this isn't how it works! I'm just saying that for this application, it will make things a little more fair.

yeah I know the PTCs are equiped with full size light plates. but most if not "all others" are not.

Also, I'm not doing any of these challenges... lol

I'm not doing anything other than what I have planned and outlined for my states and nats attempt this year.

I'm not repeating history and risking an injury on anything.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
