ActivitiesGuy Log III: Now Contains Westside Conjugate Like Substance

Yeah some of the stipulations to the challenge were downright absurd. Wasn’t there a no heavy weights clause, or something like that? There was all kinds of subjective standards that just couldn’t apply across the board.

Looked up the original thread:

How Fast Can You Deadlift 20,000 Pounds? Try this Challenge

Been doing this once per week for the last 2 months and I think it helped me finally get to a 405lb deadlift (just hit 415 yesterday). It would be interesting to see the numbers of others…if you’d like to try it. The challenge is to see how fast you can deadlift (conventional) 20k volume. I do 30reps x 225 as a warmup that counts toward the volume, then 42reps x 315 to reach 20k. Sets can be whatever you want…once I get past the 225 warmup, my first set of 315 is usually 12 reps, then the sets …

Some of the rules were

“no sumo” (can kinda-sorta see logic there, even if I disagree)

“no touch and go” (why?)

“no high rep” (in a challenge where the goal was to accumulate volume in a time window…what?)
