Deadlift Challenge

[R32GOJIRA]

You know what the cure is?

MOAR SQUATS!!! haha

And maybe a big cup of concrete.

[TTT]

Exactly.

Troy is young... he should be able to do it.

I did this last night.

Firstly, Troy well done on the 14 mate - top effort and Husky33, despite Markos' disappointment lol, 25 reps is a massive effort and is another level.

I weighed 81.0kg on the day and put on 122.5kg on the bar.

Managed only 11 before I buckled and even some of those are not the best.. I did get it on video but not happy with it to post up lol!

I want to give it another go next week when I'm feeling better and have no excuses.

BTW is age taken into consideration?

Cheers mate! Nice work on 11 though, still a top effort!

[markos]

Okay, so a lot of you think I'm being too harsh on Simon, who like I've said, is one of mine

Should I put up a video of one of my current lifters doing the challenge to show why I'm paying out on Simon?

You guys decide, and also, choose if you want a girl or a guy beating 25.

I should add, Im wrapped that you guys are embracing this, and I'm only picking on one of my lifters

good work mate!

I still haven't tried this but I ain't getting anywhere near 25

[TTT]

Don't hurt yourself before states Nick.

[markos]

Martin just did 37 reps with 120kg, he weighs 80kg in shoes.

He's never gone over 10 before, he hates reps as Tolga knows

This was at the end of his session today

[TTT]

Kids such a freak.

[Husky33]

Just remember though markos, i don't just lift anymore. My max dead is around 200kg's. I do sprint sessions twice a week, longer runs twice a week, cross fit style workouts a few times a week, swimming 1-2 times a week, and go cycling with mates.

Not looking for an excuse, but if i was just lifting day in day out, the lifters at your gym would cop a hiding

[markos]

Simon, you will ALWAYS be a PTC lifter, so I reserve the right to pick on you whenever I like

Thats what you get for winning one of my comps

Harden up Princess

[markos]

I'm not sure Simon, maybe if you had not stopped

Martin is 79kg, you were the same

He squats 227.5, benches 150 and deadlifts 281

How tall is Martin, curiously?

[markos]

Max is 173cm so Martin must be 172cm

[Birds]

Strong as fark...only motivates me to push harder. Also impressed with Rebecca's squat.

[markos]

Martin, Max, Daniel are the 3 best lifters in our team.

Martin will go over 650kg@82kg this year and Max should hit 700kg@90kg, both Juniors (20yo)

Off topic, back to deadlifting, sorry Tolga

[NickR33]

37 reps... hahaha holy fck

[markos]

Nina has done 100kg x 20 reps at 59kg recently, so she would use 90kg. Shes not keen on doing 30 rep deadlifts though so she'll pass on this one

I might be able to get her do do 2 x bw, maybe 120kg x 5?

[Mitcho_7]

Markos, you have some super human individuals at your gym...
