Got 21. I'll upload the vid later

It was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Definitely limited by cardio though

Can't wait to get this knee back 100% and try some challenges.

Mirin form tho

Did stopping to catch your breath for a second or 2 help? Thinking about stopping for a few seconds around 12 reps just to help keep it together

Pretty sure that was exactly where I stopped

I could have done 30+ without getting muscularly fatigued

Yeah the other day I figured I'd just try to move as fast as I could, I don't think that works.

16 reps in and I was simply too winded.

You clean the bar and it's aleady half way through your OHP RoM, looked efficient man.

a lot better than I could do but I don't think that really counts as a clean lol

Thank you

[TheSteve39]

Thank you

Looks like some good form to me, well done.

It's great to see real participation so far and the week isn't over yet!

[arn710]

Any ideas for next week?

I was thinking some sort of grip challenge. 2x BW for time maybe

BW bench for reps would be an easy one too

[TheSteve39]

Bodyweight bench would be cool but the NFL combine BP test would also be cool (225 for max reps), not that I could rep 225, lol. I was repping 115 before my shoulder put me out of commission, most I made it back to was repping 45 pound dumbbells (I think, it's been a while).

Double overhand no hook deadlift challenge?

[Rocky3540]

NFL combine for reps. I'm 225-230 so either way that's my weight. Love this one.

[arn710]

It has to be a lift that's accessible to everyone which is why BW challenges are easiest IMO

If you just do max weight, the contests are going to be dominated by me and a few others. Weight classes just makes things a pain

Agreed. Weigh in's and weight classes don't work for a quick 1 week contest with 1 winner. The idea should be simplicity and the ability to easily duplicate it week after week with different lifts.

There's no reason why lifts can't be chosen that play into the hands of PL's, just like this one which might have played more into the hands of an athlete/crossfit (hate to say it).

The 1rm max weight lifted competitions are always going to favor bigger/heavier guys and you can't find that 170lb guy that's exceptionally strong for his BW that deserves to win without a doubt.

How about 1 arm dead hang for time?

[allianc3]

Oh and I was gonna try to make a better attempt today but at 10 reps I said fuk it, there's no beating 21 reps.

I edited my video to show my sloppy 17th rep where I busted my knee on the way down with the bar, still don't think it was a full 60 sec.

Those plates are tough since they aren't round, good job all around.

so many good entries. I want to toss a chity vid up for kicks pretty bad but my ankle is near shot. I was working at the YMCA when someone I was spotting decided to throw the weight into the rack and push back with their feet at the same time. I probably had about 400lbs of rack/person/weight slide 8inches straight into my shin and ankle.. I swear.. I wouldnt be so mad if that prick didn't drop the weights during his deadlifts, as his next exercise after maxing out on bench.

[JamesA1990]

oooo im in for NFL combine test

[NickelArse]

in on this, should have a video up by Friday

will probably only manage 6 reps

call me nostradamus

my push press game is weak af so no surprises at my 6 reps. Hoping to be more competitive for future challenges

[pUniCepts]

Agree with Fivefoot, one mega thread would be better so people who want to regularly enter don't have to search for the thread weekly. They can just subscribe and have it. Maybe just name it " Misc Weekly Lifting Challenge Thread" or something like that.

If the mega thead route is how this works, it would be very helpful to have a link in the OP to the post which starts the new week and new challenge in the mega thread. This way it'll be very easy to find the beginning of the weeks entries and discussion.

I think this would be best for thread flow and staying subbed. Easy to throw a weekly link in the OP.
