Lol
Okay so we go with 16 oz rib eye, 16 oz Tbone, 16 oz sirloin and 16 oz porter house
with a fully loaded tater, one glass of tea and one beer[/quote]
Now that the appetizers are settled what’s for dinner?
Sorry there as a 9 hour time difference between you guys and me thats why i wasn’t around.
So…
It looks like we are kinda moving towards BG suggestion of a leader board for the basic movements.
Sounds like a few people are up for it…
I think we should also keep with some creative and different challenges as well to shake things up and take people out of their comfort zone.

Maybe something quarterly or bi-annually, rather than more frequently. Not necessarily a full posedown, but the older BB comps had awards for best arms, best chest, most muscular, etc.
On that note, here’s one challenge I’d like to see everyone participate in: Post a current F’ing picture. Period. There are way too many people floating around giving advice that are 100% anonymous.[/quote]
Good post.[/quote]
Your hub is set to private.

You see that arm, just imagine what the rest looks like.
I’m going to tell my brain that that’s not possible and must be a photoshop.

congrats 
well…how did you do?? details man.[/quote]
Thanks. I went 445, 340 and 475. Definitely left quite a few lbs out there but I just was looking to break 1,200 for my first meet. Here is the video I made from it… pretty funny
hopefully it gets some lulz[/quote]
Nicely done.
What weight class?
And, c’mon “500lbs FAIL”?? Not “fail” - “miss”! You missed that lift way to early for it to be strength based on your 475. It looked like you were way in front of the bar and your hips shot up early.
Again, nicely done and congrats on breaking your “cherry”.

Tag team match.
I’m in, I made a thread like this on another board and it was great fun.
I like BG’s idea but would like a few conditioning workouts (like gregs and the AMRAP C P in 2 mins)

yeah miss woulda been better than fail I guess. I bailed on it early cause I tweaked something in my low back during squats (erectors I think?)
I weighed in at 211.5 that morning so whatever weight class that puts me in.
soooooo… has anyone come up with the first challenge?

220 class. you should have used that extra 8lbs! LOL
Not sure they are “challenges” but moreso agreed lifts/feats to “make the board”. The first dozen or so should be easy:
- Bwt bench press for reps
- Dip bar dips for reps
- Ring Dips for reps
- Pull ups for reps
- Chin ups for reps
- 1.5 x bwt. Deadlift for reps
- 1.5 x bwt. trap bar deadlift for reps
- 1.5 bwt squat for reps
- push ups for reps
- ring push ups for reps
- box jump for height
- standing broad jump
Top 3 results and you’re “on the board”.
Any chance of TNation buy-in here?

[b] - 135 ground to overhead max reps

- Handstand push ups for reps[/b]

It would be cool if we could make a spread sheet type of deal for this but I think the only way it will really work is if the OP edits/updates to first post to make it “THE LEADER BOARD”
and whenever someone posts a video of their new submission for the leader board then the OP edits it to add the new “Top 3” lifter. Something like that.
EDIT: I submit lifts 13-15 for consideration.

I think we should get our own space for this…cell maybe?
If not TNation buy in, no membership buy in in my opinion. Then it’s just a bunch of guys with their thread posting vids. It needs to be a “king of the roost” kind of thing to get the competitive juices around here flowing.
^^What’re you thinking for a “TNation Buy In”???

I feel like they would do a cell for this, but we have to prove we can go for awhile without being total retards on our own.
The community needs to respect what you’re/we’re trying to do, once the official threads are up, have participation, and like you said get some good natured adult competitive action going on.

All retardedness aside, I’d be down for these challenges. Not in them to win them, just to see how far behind everyone else I am, LOL
