CONTEST: Bros vs the RCSS head office. Powerlifters get in here! Reps also welcome

[LadyLore420]

While I can't even compare to miss LadyLore, I will post a pitiful deadlift video tomorrow, but hopefully my squat can make up for it

Don't say that! I was following your log for a minute, you're freakish strong. Reppin 120x12 on squats.

[400Lb Gorilla]

Sorry leg day... couldn't resist..


I'll just put this here..



315 with better depth I think my new squat PR is official.

you nailed that shiet but it looked like the weight tried pulling you forward on the way up. excellent recovery on that and strong finish. that is definitely a squat you can call a PR with no doubts.

now if you want to see a horrible looking squat watch the 420 I did today the bottom of the lift looks like a squat but when I lost control of the weight on the way up I turned it into a goodmorning lol. I am so glad my deadlift was the first lift I ever trained for strength...


otherwise I would probably have died a few times during squats

[LadyLore420]

Thanks for the tip

You did them perfectly here:



Looks painful as fuq.

[skinny2buff6]

if you want to see a horrible looking squat watch the 420 I did today

That was tough to watch but man..

That is a heck of a lot of weight, and you went deeper than any of the other vids I have seen! You still have another week to post up that 460

[LadyLore420]

youtube actually came through quickly this time lol.




In case "video" tags dont work for you:

And that's how you do it. Great work Gorilla!

[Chunkx]

Did no one else notice that Troy Alves posted itt?!?! He's a Legend!

More females, always a great thing.

[velocityrob]

Good eye! I showed him the ooooold pic in the OP, I knew he'd have to comment.

[400Lb Gorilla]

That's a good looking guy on the left with the hat on backwards and hes HUGE haha.

he's alright

[400Lb Gorilla]

That was tough to watch but man..

nah I chose 5/3/1 because it is a nice slow progression and the program can be manipulated a lot to meet my scheduling and recovery needs. 420 is not so heavy that I feel like it will start to eat away at recovery.

besides, velocityrob supported my competition with RCSS so I figure I would come in here and try to win one of those stacks

this was the first time I did all 3 of the big lifts in one day. lol and did my working numbers for 5/3/1 before the sets in that vid. going to feel AWESOME walking around tomorrow

[ElevatedVaal]

That's a good looking guy on the left with the hat on backwards and hes HUGE haha.

[velocityrob]

Oh man, thats my new favorite gif!

[ChosenBrah]

you might want to start with a higher hip position. It might not affect the pull much but you will be stronger if you "brace" yourself at the higher hip position. dont know if this makes sense to you or not but just something I observed. strong finish to that pull

Hmm I see what u mean, I'll try it out next time

[ElevatedVaal]

Oh man, thats my new favorite gif!

i perfectly implicated it itt.
did i use that word right lmao..?

some strong as fuk people itt.
wish i could participate..

[mcord11758]

lets see some more apps!

while I work on my squat depth I plan on giving my deadlift and bench another go before the comp ends. I think I can get 315 on my bench and I can get more than 505 on my deadlift

[E_P_C]

youtube actually came through quickly this time lol.

Rotator cuff was really sore yesterday, but I think I'm giving my 1 rep max on bench a shot today

Can't wait!!

[RCSSdirector]

Always love these types of promos..

On a side note, HOLY HELL. That is a HUGE total. Mirin

Thank you sir! apparently I "hitched" a little on the deadlift but there wasnt a judge at this event it was just for fun so i will allow it for everyone else!

[RCSSdirector]

this week just happens to be the the "1" part of 5/3/1 so I will see what I can do on Tuesday

Also I will be repping those 3 winners and probably a fair amount of the people that put in entries

Thank you for the support sir!

If only I didn't feel so awkward setting up a camera and taking videos lol, i'll try to get at least a bench vid in today.

Everyone else will be just 'mirin your camera skills hard

Great promo rob... I'll have to throw in some vids... In for the madness

please do cant wait!

just watched your bossman's vid. about to get my hater on so excuse me for a moment:

strong bench, touch and go
camera angle sucked on squat
hitched deadlift


come at me CEO lol dude is strong as fuk but figured I would toss some shiet his way

hahah yes yes I know. I have another angle of the squat i will post. yes i hitched on the deadlift... i wasnt aware of this rule as i am just a little amateur in the powerlifting world so i will allow others to hitch. plus this was just an in house comp for fun so there wasnt a judge.

appreciate the shiet throwing though

I never 1rm so I have no idea what I could do. Love comps though so I will try to get some vids in

let's find out then!

Are women allowed to join this promo? Will there be a seperate prize awarded to female lifters? I can't possibly hope to compare to most of the contestants in this thread, and I suppose wouldn't be too upset if the answer were no. I'm sure they've worked much harder for their gains than I have.

These videos are less than a week old. I'm more than willing to make an entirely new video for you as well if required, please say so.

2x bodyweight squat, 230lbs at 115bw.



100lb paused bench 6 reps



235lb deadlift 4 reps



Bodyweight 115lbs.

That makes my total / bodyweight 4.913

Thank you for this opportunity and best of luck to everyone. Lift safe!

EDIT: I'll make a special video just for you guys tomorrow :-)

Ronnie better come in here and propose to me, or at least offer to arrest me.

I'll be back :-)

yes, females definitely allowed. i wouldnt make a separate category because this is based on bodyweight so it is competitive for everyone. 4.9 times your bodyweight should be very competitive. Please join!

Hmmmm! Might have think about dis

Looks like knee wraps for squats and touch and go bench!

equipment that is acceptable
knee wraps
elbow wraps
wrist wraps (not straps for deads though)
belt (obviously, if you do it without you get 10 bonus points)

All of these, strong guy, but no where near meet standards.

Could put up 7+ with meet standards, do the lifts need to be all the same day? Don't really wanna mess up my training cycle right now, but could hit all of these separate days.

yes i need to fix a few things if I ever want to do a real meet.

and yes, all on the same day.

[showjo1josh]

I benched today. I got 295 by 3 but I didn't max out so I'll have to take a video next week and max out. Deadlifting tomorrow and I'll get a video up.

[LadyLore420]

yes, females definitely allowed. i wouldnt make a separate category because this is based on bodyweight so it is competitive for everyone. 4.9 times your bodyweight should be very competitive. Please join!

To be honest, despite all my whining about form, men are way stronger than women and there's simply no way I can compete with literally any of the submissions so far. All the training in the world can't overcome all natural steroid production. I follow over a dozen other women's powerlifting journals and not a single one can score over 5 on that BW scale.

Anyways, got my singlet on and heading to the gym. Wish me luck!

[mcord11758]

So all lifts one session.

Did that one my first go, will give them all a go again next week

[RCSSdirector]

Im down for this. Granted im still working on form on dead lefts, and squats.. so far im sore on legs only. Back I don't feel sore no pain. So hope that means I'm doing it right. And all we have to do is hit our one rep max with good form?

yes sir that's it!

Whoaaa such an awesome promo , Ronnie Coleman is one strong man... 1675 lbs ooooo weeee that's nasty.
the energy from everybody in this contest is off da chain , good luck everyone.

unfortunately for me and my biceps... i am not Ronnie Coleman

This could be fun, even though ive dropped 18 lbs and am feeling weak as hell. Deadlifts tonight!

love all the participation and 'mirin !

Hit 335. Felt as heavy as when I deadlifted 420 that feel

Here's the vid



Gonna try mixed grip for heavier weight

good stuff man. A small suggestion would be to not spend so much time down in your stance before pulling... the longer you stay down the harder it is to come back up it seems. Go down set your grip and yank that beeyatch off the floor!

strained chest on bench 2 months ago, still haven't quite healed.
i guess I'm out for this Promo.
still IN, to see Gorilla Bench, a beastly amount of weight..

also I'm friends with big Ronnie Coleman

you can still do the other lifts! Epic friend status / 10

Gave it all I had, 4 attempts at a PR squat

bw 160lbs

squat 315lbs

The third might or might not count, i'll leave it up to the judges.



'mirin my RCSS lifting belt?

'Mirin dat belt so hard... inclined to give extra points for that

For the fun of it I gave it a go today. I can do better, I never 1rm. Judges will have to let me know on the squat, I have been working on it. Bench was a throw in, I can get much more I was spent



Deadlift 505
Squat 405
Bench 275
Body Weight 197.5 (very chubby for me)

Total 1185 (if all lifts qualify)

Score 6

Nothing compared to op, will update with another bench as I know I can push over 300 and I think I can get more on my deadlifts

Really good stuff man!! thanks for taking the time to eneter

^ dem strict rule enforcing

she aint playin

[RCSSdirector]

in for LL's vid of superior form!

lol also lady and gentlemen,(ahem lady ), not trying to sound like a dik but why don't we just let the RCSS team judge the videos and see if they pass them. honestly in every competition I have held on here I have always hated when people judge entries before I can see them. what some people would call "questionable" sometimes passes with a legit PL judge watching them. Out of the 15-20 entries I could not decide on, because I thought they looked iffy to ME, Iceman judged probably around 10-12 of them as being legit. and that was just my benchpress competition lol. cant wait to do it again for squats and see what I learn from that dude


and he is an actual no shiet PL judge and has been for 15+ years

agreed

Exactly!

This competition is supposed to be fun. I applaud everyone that submits an entry!

Well said George!

I appreciate your attention to detail. Once we have enough entries we (RCSS staff and reps) will discuss which entries are legit based on form. But....we're here for fun. I mean, my boss had a Hulk Hogan impersonator in his cheering section.

I mean that was really my secret... Mr.Hogan cheering in your ear will increase strength 20% plus i didnt want to get a Hogan leg drop at the end for failing. (That's actually our director of Ops... we are a special group )

Just showing support. 3 weeks out from a physique show, not enough glycogen in my body to hit big numbers on the big 3 lifts

thanks for dropping it sir and good luck in the show!

This is an awesome promo. I couldn't compete with you monsters.

jump in anyway... all about the bromunitty of it !

Alright i decided to squat today and i've done 335 x 5 and 365 x 1 before but since i didnt have a spotter i decided to go with 345 x 1 and get the video uploaded so heres my 1rm for squat at bw 184(will upload picture of scale soon to). tomorrow im planning on benching!

nice!

Awesome comp these vids getting me pumped
RCSS doing it big!!!

thank you sir!

Sorry leg day... couldn't resist..


I'll just put this here..



315 with better depth I think my new squat PR is official.

yup... stamp that official

prepare your anooses

today my final three lifts were 420/325/545

lol since this is a powerlifting competition I figured knocking them all out was the best way to go youtube is doing it's processing thing but will post later. 1290 isnt enough to beat the RCSS director but it works for me for a spur of the moment big 3 day

Edit: weighed in at 223 today

really strong numbers bro! hey you dont have to beat my numbers the top 3 closest win! i would love for someone to put up 8X bodyweight though... would be epic

That's a good looking guy on the left with the hat on backwards and hes HUGE haha.

i was thinking the same thing! lol thanks for stopping by Troy

While I can't even compare to miss LadyLore, I will post a pitiful deadlift video tomorrow, but hopefully my squat can make up for it

depends on the squat outfit, just kidding, but seriously.. that matters.

[RCSSdirector]

So all lifts one session.

Did that one my first go, will give them all a go again next week

bonus points for all in same session

top 3 closest win ! good luck i'll be patiently waiting for the results. screaming yeah buddy increases strength as well as garners bonus points

[velocityrob]

Its all about the bonus points.

[MetFan]

Not in for the comp, just support and rep good entries.

This is definitely a great idea. Great on Rob and the rest of the RCSS team for doing this up.

NP, I think this is an awesome idea.

As for vids? Haven't been in the gym long enough to show anything, 2 months is still too early do much. Still only at 315 on Deads.
