Deadlift Challenge

[R32GOJIRA]

Anyone have any idea of how many reps they might even come close to?

[TTT]

yes

In that case point 7 was there for you in the first place and you should read more carefully.

Cool I can sleep tonight

Righto stop posting shit unless we have a video.. We don't want this thread closed from trolling

[NickR33]

girls should be 50kg at most... slightly more ROM due to the 15kg plates but 60kg is too much IMO

[TTT]

yeah fair enough.

anything to get them doing it.

Girls are allowed to film from behind

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.

They can film from the front too

[TTT]

ok arsehats..

how about bodyweight for the ladies, and 1.5 times bodyweight for men?

so this is going to be more than 100kg for pretty much everyone except the ladies and collar up PTs

Works for me. Include yourself stepping on the scales in the vid.

[Trozzle]

awww yeah....bring it on (even though technically even I will be over 100kg LOL)

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.

[Birds]

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

or even get hurt....

but at least it will be on flim and good for lols.

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.

Why do you have different weight classes at PTC comps?

[TTT]

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.
