Latest misc weekly lifting challenge

[arn710]

Think we could get Bustacapp, Proudmanlet and Catbrah to participate (to name a few)?

I'll get Jesteraq to do it

ffguitarist said he wasn't starting meet prep until next week so we may be able to talk him into it

[Pterodactyl314]

In

will upload something later but it won't be pretty... aiming for more than 1 rep

[jesteraq]

In. Will try to do it tonight.

[DatingInTheDark]

No, not really.

But even Matt Ogus is hitting 315 for pause sets of 5 at 183lbs and everyone knows he's the OHP king, could probably get it 8+ reps atleast in one continuious set




Every person I've seen with a great OHP has a great bench too

Would definitely be interested in their entries on something different like this.

Go for it man, it's just nice seeing miscers push themselves in the gym. Helps me pretend there's still lifters here.

I'd hate for anyone to get hurt doing this if they're training for something else. I'm sure people will exercise good judgement, though. No need to put yourself at risk if you've got a meet or a show that will pay if one places.

You joined a new gym after that fiasco last week?

Every person I've seen with a great OHP has a great bench too

If there was a strong cross over I'd have a lot better bench. My strict OHP and incline barbell are both very strong in relation to flat bench.

[DatingInTheDark]

I don't know that.



Correlation =/= causation. OHP is a good accessory, but by no means a staple for the bench press.

I'm not subscribed to him nor do I follow him, but I know he is known as that guy who is good at OHP, same way I know max chewing is good at deadlifting

Okay fair enough then, my bad.

My bench got way stronger once I started incorporating OHP [but tbh i did neglect shoulders for the longest while]. I still love the movement anyway and will continue doing it.

[allianc3]

And mine is garbage, think my best overhead is around 275 give or take, and have benched 500.

Damn that's wild, my strict OHP is somewhere like 255 or 260 and I'm fairly certain at this point I'll never have a 4 plate bench.

[TheWorldIsUrs]

i had to drive 30mins away for this so love me tenderly please. oh and the video got cut off and it missed my holiday greetings so refilmed it hehe




happy halloween

We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

That's nice of you and your company to throw in some added incentives.

At least the way I had imagined this thing running would be 1 winner a week but who am I to say how many guys you wanna shower with goodies.

[Fivefootkillerz]

ty men

Most I've strict OHP was 225 and I benched 385 Sat

Cool

I don't know any great benchers that had a great OHP

I'm not subscribed to him nor do I follow him, but I know he is known as that guy who is good at OHP, same way I know max chewing is good at deadlifting

You seem to view the strength world in the very small bubble of YouTube celebrity

Neither of those two are even a blip on the radar in the strength world

And mine is garbage, think my best overhead is around 275 give or take, and have benched 500.

Also benched 500 and my best OHP is 265x2


Moral of the story. If you want a good OHP, OHP. If you want a good bench, bench. Crazy concept

Can confirm. Can probably bench 330 but still cant OHP 185.

[wrassler45]

Thats because you have cats instead of dogs

[TheSteve39]

Iceman, did you convince any other mods to participate? Is this an event you'd do if your shoulder were 100%?

[Retoaded]

brb getting some magazine photoshoot plates that weight 15 pounds each.

[Thai_Clinch]

Iceman,


i didnt see this thread until now. any way we can sticky these weekly ? will participate. could use the added motivation.

[Iceman1800]

I'd do this in a heartbeat. My shoulder is fine, it's my back that's destroyed. I'm talking with a supp rep who'd be interested in a small prize for each weekly winner too. Very gracious of him.

Sorry! I got your procedure mixed up with Bodyhard's.

I think a simple title edit to:

1st misc weekly lifting challenge (mod reps + supps)

would generate as much or more attention than a sticky

[LateShow]

In

Subbing for my entry later this week

[ffguitarist14]

This is awesome! Hopefully we see lots of submissions on these.. I pretty much have all my programming already laid out up until the next powerlifting meet but I'm sure if there's nothing too crazy I can get in on something. Left shoulder has been bugging me lately on incline press so I'm not sure how well that'd go with any overhead pressing. 135 might not be too bad though, I could do a couple reps on Thursday and see how it feels
