Glad somebody stepped up to the challenge!

Sure sounded like a lot of people were interested, but I guess it was all bark no bite!

Hey clutz - I see you posted this yesterday, did you get it figured out by now? If not just shoot me a PM :)[/quote]

I never found the calculator but my calculations have me deadlifting 425 wednesday anyways, weighing 175 it should probably be a bit lighter but whatever I’m not gonna win anyways so I’ll just see how it goes!

175 would put you at 418 so not too far off anyway.

Okay one of the other T-Nation ladies said she did it and will load the video later. She’s already got me beat.

Hey I can do reps. Is it too late to join in the fun?

You should be able to find it on the calculators tab on the main page. PM me if you can’t find it.

You probably do haha we train in Saskatoon

Well I sort of bombed on your dead lift challenge. I really hope that doesn’t screw anything up for you. I did squats on Tuesday; must have overdone it, cuz my legs were still so sore today I wasn’t walkin right. Kept expecting it to go away, but didn’t happen fast enough. Got three gross looking reps of 440, not worthy of a result for you imo. Sorry again, shoulda taken it a bit more seriously than that… Gonna slink away now…

Just saw this thread. Only 3 and a half hours left and I just finished a session which has left my back fried, but I’d kind of like to give it a shot. Weighed 154lbs this morning. What’s the weight for a 154lber? And what was the decision on straps?

For those who haven’t seen all the videos yet - heres a (long)…
