405lb Deadlift Challenge

30 minutes, 12 reps. Vomited on rep 8. Belt, straps, and self-hate.

Puke for the win! (I think)

I was genuinely worried I’d shit myself right around rep 8. I was close. Real close. x

Nice work and congrats on taking the lead!

I’m having trouble getting the full video uploaded. I suppose I’ll need to get better at video editing. I’ll post it to my log when I figure it out. Here’s the money set though.

I was surprised at how much of a sweat I had worked up just from the singles. Going in I was kind of expecting the first 29 reps to be a total breeze. I was definitely breathing harder than I would have expected. Luckily I managed to build up some extra energy reserves over this very long winter.

I do not sir, I don’t have the ability to take 30+ minute video.
It’s the internet, so I accept if it didn’t actually happen.

Awesome job @Brady888!

Okay fuckers, I did it using 330 (about 85% of 1RM) made all 30 minutes and then hit 5 on minute 31 (sorta goofed there…). Video is boring, but will post when it’s uploaded. I’m gonna go cry now.

@anon50325502 Don’t sell yourself short on a great performance. You kept with the spirit of the challenge and you had the grit to see it through to the AMRAP set. My respect goes out to anyone who signed themselves up for this!

When you took of the straps I thought you were about to hit one raw dog just to show off. Great job man, also that breathing at the end got me all kindzzz of moist.

I’m enjoying the videos! It’s nice to put faces to the names and personalities here. I’m sure they’ve been out there on training logs or other threads before, but this is the first time I’ve seen some of you in action.

Last chance to give this a shot before the end of April, any more takers out there? :slight_smile:

I have thought about it but have been following a program for the first time ever and decided to try for 700 next week instead. Would have liked to see what I could’ve done
