Deadlift Challenge

[GTR_JOEY]

Nah that's exactly what I meant.

well i mis understood what lowering under control was... no matter

Now how do i get this video up, im computer illiterate

[Husky33]

there was no rest(if you call that resting you have to be kidding yourself), there was no bouncing(the weight stopped before he lifted again), and it was lowered under control(dropping the bar out of your hands is out of control, lowering down really slowly is not 'under control', it's stupid and will do you damage).

Awesome effort, will have to try for 38

He's not in the comp you stooges.

Markos mentioned it at his gym and all the highly competetive ones gave it a crack.

so who do we have?

Troy - 14

Rev210 - 20 (or was it 17 on that vid?)

18 on that vid.

7 days left of this challenge.

[Husky33]

that video shows the difference between bouncing and not. The first reps he does from a dead stop, then after that he bounces. quite obvious

[markos]

This isnt a PL forum Simon so I couldnt be bothered explaining or defending, its a vid for inspiration only

[Husky33]

yeah but i have time and i'm bored

[markos]

Oh, and in case some on here dont know

I'm President of a PL Fed

I own another Fed

I own a PL gym with over 30 competing lifters

I started a PL gym franchise that has gyms in 4 states

I've been to PL comps on 3 continents

My lifters have 94 World Records

I first started judging PL comps in 1991

I know what a deadlift is lol

Some pretty good efforts from you non competing guys to, its great to see guys deadlifting in commercial gyms

I think the next challenge should be bench bw for reps, EVERYONE benches, some on here would give competition guys a run for their money

I dont think my guys excel at bench bw anymore than regular gym goers

Back day today. Guna hit this up and see what i can muster.

I can dead about 260kg with straps for 1RM.

But holding onto 150kgs for around 20 or more reps with no straps is guna kill me (im not a power lifter lol).

Only time will tell.

[markos]

Mate 15 is bloody good going

[GTR_JOEY]

You can do it !!!

Marcus,

Its good you post up those videos of the more elite guys, it sets a standard for rest of us.

It will give me a push to improve. Will aim for 25 over the coming weeks

[markos]

Joey youre effort was epic, 19 reps is REALLY good for a guy that doesnt compete etc

I'm impressed with all you guys that hit double figures

Cant wait for bench Tolga................................

Far out man. Top effort.

I'm not gonna try this because 1.5BW deadlifts are a challenge altogether for me. Not to mention going for reps lol

[markos]

25 - 30 win the bench?

[rev210]

I found my video of my second set of 20 reps, on my phone actually worked. It saved it in a different folder.

[rev210]

25 - 30 win the bench?

is that 1.5x BW ? thats crazy reps

[GTR_JOEY]

will have another crack before the months end

Markos whats an average performance for a competing lifter, was Martins 38 average would u say?
