RULES

1. Squats must be to parallel or below depth. That means: Hip crease at or below top of patella.Before starting the lift the weight must be overhead with elbows locked. Grip width doesn't matter as long as the weight is clearly over the top of your skull. Knees must lock out each rep.

2. Weigh in must have a verifiable Date/Time(such as a newspaper clipping, phone, shot of a BB.com post made that day, etc.), your username, and Misc Overhead Squat Comp. Video yourself getting on the scale then the weight the scale shows. No pictures. Use an easy to read quality scale.

3. The LIFT must take place within 24 hours of the weigh in. Combining the vids together would be great(youtube editor makes this easy) but it is not required. A new weigh in must be done for each entry. You must verify the time/date of the lift as well to confirm the 24 hour rule. Please keep the vids as short as possible.

4. You must use your Wilk's 39(+/- 0.25) of your weigh in bodyweight for as many reps as possible. The caculator used for this contest will be this one: http://www.marylandpowerlifting.com/wilks.asp

5. Knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and belts are accpetable. Knee wraps are not allowed.

6. Entries must be made by 8PM Eastern Time on October 3rd, 2012. Anything past this time will not be accepted.

7. ALL JUDGES RULINGS ARE FINAL. ANY DISPUTES WILL BE SETTLED BY THE OTHER JUDGE(S) VIEWING THE VID.

JUDGES

400lb Gorilla
Blizzard589
Farley1324
NomZ

Other Random Stuff:

Remember, you guys get as many entries as you want. And, unless you are planning on some kind of massive body weight change in the next 2 months the weight you are using is going to roughly stay the same. So let's get some vids in! Any questions about the Wilk's calculator or how that works ask Farley1324. For any other questions the judges will be happy to answer you. I plan on repping not only the winners but any entry I can. So get those vids in , Misc, and win some free stuff!!

Leader Board

1st - wogwhisperer - 34 Reps

2nd - SugarReay - 32 Reps

3rd - Keevo - 27 Reps

Edit: Just so no one PMs me again i am going to put it here: For all Australian and overseas competitors that make it to the top 3 i will make sure you get your prizes even if i have to mail them to you myself.

Edit #2: Any tie will go the one who posted their lifting vid first. If there is a dispute with that then it will be decided as the situation calls for it.

In. Bout to try some overhead squats in 20 minutes. Everybody do your best and pls be careful.

**OC23** · 08-01-2012, 05:15 PM

Fuarkkkk, that motivation. Started working on OHS too for snatches. How many squats do we do? If it is a 1 RM, what would be a good weight for a guy my weight 170?

edit: 4. You must use your Wilk's 39(+/- 0.25) of your weigh in bodyweight for as many reps as possible.

I dont get it.

**xMetalocalypse** · 08-01-2012, 05:16 PM

Find whatever weight gives you a wilks of 39 (or within .25 of 39). This takes trial and error. Mine comes out to around 140 lbs at my current 220 lbs bw. Then put that overhead and squat it for as many reps as you can.

**WannaBeATank** · 08-01-2012, 05:18 PM

Ugh. Can I just snatch it then count that?

Also, y'all should do a front squat max comp, just sayian.

**NedStark** · 08-01-2012, 05:19 PM

go to the calculator listed and put in your bodyweight and then put in weights until you get 39 on the Wilks score. for you it should be around 125ish

**Link815** · 08-01-2012, 05:21 PM

I'm confused.. whatever gives you 39 wilks at your bodyweight? So for me at 258 I'd use 150? If I was flexible enough to do an OH squat that seems like it's fairly light.

Thank You Zyzz Bird

yes but it is for as many reps as possible. by the end of this i see a lot of 20-30 rep sets because of the lighter weight

I think a max front squat is needed in the future. It'd be also to see what the misc can do.

**HDF49** · 08-01-2012, 05:26 PM

Last time i tried these I fell backwards, destroyed my ankles and damn near dislocated both shoulders. Stay safe.

**Blizzard589** · 08-01-2012, 05:27 PM

Overhead squat newb tip: Start practicing with a broomstick or PVC pipe. And stretch out your chest and work on thoracic extension. All the bros in here probably have overly tight pectorals that will pull your arms forward in the overhead position towards the bottom of the rep. Also, get those ankles loose. Heel cord flexibility is a must unless you have oly shoes.
