Friendly Competition/Challenge Thread

Lol, color me quite surprised. You do have about 40 lbs on me though, that’s the part I’m missing. I’m planning out a crazy high volume off season starting in June to hopefully have me at least breaking 200 lbs for the first time in my life.

It’s okay, Reed already called me out for being a whiner. I’ll just need to hurry up and squat 600+ after my next competition lol

@brady888 you now have bragging rights. I didn’t even make it to the gym to try the trap bar. The back of my body is still beat from Friday and I want to use the holidays to get some good recovery. I’ll have a crack at it some other time.

Anyway, excuses excuses and I take my hat off to you sir.

Sad day. Hopefully Reed and T3hpunisher come through with some crazy numbers. I’m sure some extrinsic motivation will help with that level of discomfort.

Is the weight 530 now?

No, 550 will be fine. @MarkKO had just mentioned wanting to put up reps with a weight similar to one I had posted in my log.

185x100 hang power cleans. Took about 40 minutes. 185 was bodyweight for me. Sorry no video, it would be boring as all get out.

I’m tellin y’all… he ain’t right! :laughing:

OK @brady888 I might have something to interest you. These are from a few years back

I’m not ‘challenging’ you, but given your predilection of inflicting horrible things on yourself I figured you might like having a crack. Come to think of it @ActivitiesGuy you might like it too.

@MarkKO I have no KB, but if a dumbbell suffices I’m game.

Can’t see why it wouldn’t.
