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

[skinny2buff6]

Heres a pic of my scale. Im about 184 lbs. I deadlifted today and hit 455 x 3 without straps 480 by 2 with straps. Since we cant use straps i'll upload the video of 455 by 3. So if 455 x 3 is equal to 496 can we say we did 496 or do we actually have to deadlift 496?

Haha them hairy hobbit feet. Mirin ;D Solid lifts though.

But yeah looks like we can't use straps. There goes 50lbs+ of my DL

[cumminslifter]

just pulled 445 very happy about that. Thats 30 more pounds than 2 weeks ago

If we were going to go off of reps... I could hit 50% more at least.

Don't think that's such a good idea >.<

damn, how is your deads so far away from your squats. jelly

the most i have squatted is 370lbs to a 12" box and today did 445 on deads which is 30 pounds more than ive ever done

[LadyLore420]

I squat more than I deadlift because very weak grip.

Ultra lame sauce.

Yea i could squat more i just dont push myself as hard with squat because most of the time i dont have a spotter. with deadlift if i cant get it i just drop it so i can really push myself. ive squatted 365 before but i just didnt want to the other day becasue i didnt have a spotter. ha. Hoping to put up 315 on bench tho!

i hear that, much harder to fail on bench/squat than deads. impressive numbers none the less. You follow a routine?

[RCSSdirector]

A SQUAT IS NOT A SQUAT UNLESS YOUR BUTT REACHES THE CORE OF PLANET EARTH AND COMES OUT ON MARS.

Pretty sure at least.

I've been doing it wrong all this time

Pretty upset with this. I did 275 last week with VERY little help from a spotter. Well the weight came almost straight down since I tweaked my rotator cuff yesterday and it was still sore today. After that attempt I got 245 (shaky because of my shoulder again) and actually had to leave halfway through my workout since I didn't want to make it worse. I will get a better attempt in next week for bench. But at least I still have one (poor) attempt on the books.

it's all good bro, nice attempt. heal up, be smart about that and then come back hit your numbers!

Extra Points?


(I know I look huge)





How I hit that 315 squat

so many extra points. For real though, its so cool for me to see people rocking our shiiet out there. i appreciate it

awesome promo, i love out of the ordinary ones like these. I dont think i can beat his score but im close. might throw some vids up for fun

i'm really pumped about how much action this is getting! Yeah man post it up i hope you do beat me!

Calculated my Max yesterday to be 265ish, hit it easily; attempted 285, got it; attempted 305, didn't get it

nice!

haha nice try but no. Great Ronnie quote "Don't write checks that your ass cant cash".... basically show me

'mirin butt cheek clinching skills

LMAO, it was a close one. i had 50% of my focus on not sh*ting myself and 50% on the lift

[400Lb Gorilla]

solid lifts bro

your entry.... I am waiting on it

Here you go!



Squat: 245
Bench: 115
Deadlift: 245

BW: 107.4

Score: 5.65, still the lowest :-(

solid work but unless I am mistaken there has only been one complete entry so far..... and that is me (this might have already changed but I am on page 3 of 4 right meow)
also I only got 5.78 on mine. of course I out weigh you by 116 pounds but srsly most men, unless in strength training for a good while, are not going to get huge numbers.
while I agree that men have the strength advantage, the ladies more often will hold the bodyweight advantage. While RCSSDirector made that bench and squat look easy not many people in his weight class are putting up that kind of weight for fun lol.


@RCSS Director, your new to PLing? Were you a bodybuilder before that? Or Strongman?

[400Lb Gorilla]

Work on that GI Joe kung fu grip

your reference, I got it

know this feel. impressive lifting while not shatting

[Free Weight Friedel]

Next time, you need to use that as a rocket blast and you'll get 50 more lbs.

[Free Weight Friedel]

I've been under the weather the past couple of days so, I am catching up.

There are some impressive lifts in here. Good job by everyone who's posted videos!

[LadyLore420]

solid work but unless I am mistaken there has only been one complete entry so far..... and that is me

I'm not following?

Weigh in. Squat. Bench. Deadlift. Even a goofy hat and a goofier, "yeah buddy."

That would make two complete entries.

STFU Gorilla. You're drunk and bad at math.

[skinny2buff6]

2/3.. I'm almost there lol

[mcord11758]

in following the thread I guess my first entry does not mean too much as I used straps for my deadlifts (did not realize at the time it was against comp rules) and my squat did not cut the mustard. I will aim to give this another go next week and I am going to shoot for 455 deadlift, 300 bench, 365 squat.

[skinny2buff6]

Might try to DL today. Arm + Shoulder feel slightly better.

I also linked the thread over in the official powerlifters thread. Hopefully we get some more entries in here

[LadyLore420]

According to http://www.goheavy.net/records/viewr...6-d9d1b9c18d3e,

I beat the Colorado State record for women's 114lb squat! Did it friggin raw too!

Just thought I'd mention that.



And despite beating that record, the guys are still outscoring me, yet more to support my case for a separate category for women. There's a reason we compete in separate categories in every single sport.
