Deadlift Challenge

[TTT]

Compete anyway, if nothing else it's still exercise. Might motivate you to be stronger.

says the guy who also says "not competing yet till I get a little stronger"

lol

.

Some should be excluded though, yourself, Nick and Simon. No one on here will beat Ghosty at this challenge, or most challenges

No one is excluded.., "most challenges" hey.. I'm sure I can think a few challenges that wouldn't be so one sided.... Apparently

Only problem is im a sook and my hands get rooted from work as a cabinet maker/installer so i use wraps to ease the pain and damage. Otherwise id do it, as its deads day for me today.

if I could edit the original post I'd add those excuses next to the coil pack issues.

It was more to do with the first doable novice comp being around April/May - incidentally enough time to gain some strength. I'll compete anyway, I just hope to be stronger by then.

peer pressure works again.

too much bitching in here. Either do the lift or shut the f up.

It's not a powerlifting comp ffs, it's just a bit of fun to get people more involved/competitive.

I'll put up a vid tomorrow

[GTR_JOEY]

yeah fair point..

What are you weighing in at Simon, around 85? i imagine you will be lifting around 120-130 then

[Husky33]

83 right now

[markos]

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

Had a go, without wrist wraps, did the 100kg set, only managed 10 reps. No video though.

Decent effort, video would have been good

How much you weigh Damien

[markos]

Good on you for having a crack Damien.

[JEPPE]

Sounds like fun! I don't really care about the winning part. Any challenge can be applied against yourself.

Hard choice on the percentage vs standard weight because.... Well I have put on weight since I started gym and most of it is fat weight. Anyway!

I'm cool without gloves but is chalky chalk ok?

[TTT]

chalk is always welcome

Too chalky.

Will attempt and video this on Tuesday.

Might have to look into this more.

I currently weigh in at 84kg ,

Was zapped today from heat, no excuse though i thought i preped before gym well. I believe there is plenty of room for improvement on that effort. I will see if i can get a video tomorrow when little less busy.

So is this a 1.5x bodyweight or 100kg? was it decided?

My deads today included a set of 145kg for 12 reps. @ 96.5kg. My first deads in a very very long time....

I think I'd like to do 20 or so reps of 145kg before the end of Jan, hopefully I can vid the success in the next week or so.

[Birds]

1.5x bodyweight, so that's about right for you.
