AMRAP Challenge

[Jacobcapra]

I love doing AMRAP's and thought it would be cool if we had a thread going showcasing some of our best AMRAP sets.

Looking for an excuse for some more traffic on this section, as it's one of the few not full of idiots on this site.

For those who may not be aware, that's 'As Many Reps As Possible' given a certain weight.

If people posted ITT regularly, I could even update some of the best AMRAP'ers in each weight class

I'll start us off with one I posted and misc that no one cared about
405 x 12 Deadlift, probably could've gotten 13 or 14, but form began to considerably breakdown. Still a big PR and I'm happy with it.

Sidebar, loving the 4K video quality on my new 6S, many liftin' vids to be taken.

[jacobcmurphy]

Good chit mane.

Repping 405 like that is my goal rn. Can only hit it once lol.

Just got back into deadlifting though, so i'll be patient.

Is a video required? I knocked 505x8 squat yesterday. It was my back-off set. I just went for it since I felt good and next week is de-load.

[JRMoore82]

In!! I usually do one of those for my back offs. But I usually go a plate lower. I.E working in the 400's then 315 AMRAP.

Nahhhhhhhhh.

On a side note... I repped 800 for 9 the other day, beating Mr. George Leeman.

LOL man has a point. I mean, it's not like you need one to post and tell us about it, but it always impresses people to see it.

Now I have to figure out how to get a video without a workout partner in my ridiculously crowded gym.

Here are my AMRAPs @ 100%

looks painful

[tom11]

High rep deadlifts are really really wonderful especially for strengthening the upper back and they feel good (only just right after you perform them though, while you are doing them they suck).

[zajicekg32]

In! AMRAPs every Friday in my programming, so this is the perfect thread for me.

Would do a 315 AMRAP challenge in March (first week).

Almost off this shoulder injury so February I can tapper off the Slingshot.

Mirin my 225x17 back off with the Slingshot??

:-P

[NorthStrong]

I just did 325x17 squat on saturday, no vid tho. Seems like a good challenge thread. I wouldnt do it for deadlift. Or bench. Or anything other than squat.

Mirin' intelligent programming for injuries

Speaking of, gonna be hitting 225 Bench AMRAP Friday, stoked to try to break the 20 mark.

That, sounds fuarking grueling. I think deadlift is the easiest, personally. Squat AMRAPs suuuuuck. I remember a few months ago I started doing a 225 squat AMRAP and got to 20 and just said nope f**k this and racked it.

Ya my therapist has been pretty good with everything! She cleared me to warm up rep this month without the Slingshot (did 285 comp bench no pain) so I'm getting there. It is semi frustrating just cause it's not hurting anymore. Minimal flair ups. But can't "jump" into anything. January 31st I can "1RM" (not struggling. Going to where my shoulder feels it) and after that 1 working set added a week.

TL;DR

February adding one working set a week.

Do you pay a lot for a therapist? I want one for some chronic knee pain I've been having. But don't wanna drop guap.

[Squatticus]

425x4 off an 3" deficit, I did 405x12 touch and go off a 3" deficit a couple weeks back but can't find it

I have a $30 co-pay a visit. My medical coverage (Bluse Cross Pro Shield) is pretty bad ass!!

I would recommend one!! Last year they got me from a grade 2 calf injury to squatting again in 2 1/2 months. And I feel the injury is definitely fully recovered as its been a year and I can do 545 barbell calf raises (drop sets) and it feels great.

185x15 on SLDL

Hey, it's a start!

[CWGame]

Did a bodyweight for reps challenge like a year ago, only ARAP videos I have.

Deadlift-195x35


Bench-195x15


Squat- 195x20


Did them all on the same day just for fun.

[IK9]

1-Arm DB Row 135's x 20 reps


1-Arm DB Row 140's x 20 reps
Bad angle so I posted the 135's x 20 reps


Bench your bodyweight: 160 lbs x 29.5 reps

Brah gnarly especially on the same day. Would rep but on R/C. I'm guessing squat went last lol


Want to try bodyweight AMRAP's now. 225 bench is almost, a little high.

Not sure how I feel about dumbbell AMRAP's, mainly a lactic acid thing most likely. Sweet bench AMRAP tho, another on the bodyweight train.
LOL at 29.5 reps, that chit counts right? Some of those were lookin' a little questionable hah.

Not too much competition here man, you got me beat pretty good so far!

Haven't done bodyweight ARAP's but I've done @210BW
225x20 squat
225x15 bench
435x4 deadstop deadlift

I don't enjoy ARAPs, and am very inefficient at them, but sometimes I do them. I don't even like going above 6 reps haha.

I think I did it squat bench deadlift or something like that.

They are solid reps.. I do the bench your bodyweight x30 challenge at the Olympia Expo in Las Vegas.. & they always count them.. I never successfully did it

Surely you mean after you catch your breath, and the black spots go away!?

[NaturalPursuit]

Love the post!!! Here's one I did the other day..nothing crazy but felt good! Sorry in advance for the camera moving..I'll get a new video of a higher weight this up coming week
