I was involved in my first beast day today. This is a tradition that has been going on in my gym about every 6 months for around 3 yrs now. It involves several completely idiotic massochist seeing exactly how much weight we can lift. By this we set the pins of power rack at the highest height that we can lift the bar off and when it bends the bar does not touch the pins. We use any equipment we can find and just about pass out from the stimulants (thank god for MD-6, and ultimate orange). A good lift consists of just getting the bar off the pins, you don’t have to lock out just get it off. Now I pussied out at 805lbs, but we had 6 of the 8 guys pull 1100+, with one fucking madman breaking the gym record with 1402.5lbs. All the rest of us thought he might get more but he decided to err on the side of caution. It truly interesting what we do to ourselves in the gym. Oh yeah and only one guy blew out his knee, although we are not totally sure about how serious it is.
