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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Why not just set up a log? Might keep the troll count down.

Long time lurker, but I ll be down for start posting for this

Not sure they are “challenges” but moreso agreed lifts/feats to “make the board”. The first dozen or so should be easy:

  1. Bwt bench press for reps
  2. Dip bar dips for reps
  3. Ring Dips for reps
  4. Pull ups for reps
  5. Chin ups for reps
  6. 1.5 x bwt. Deadlift for reps
  7. 1.5 x bwt. trap bar deadlift for reps
  8. 1.5 bwt squat for reps
  9. push ups for reps
  10. ring push ups for reps
  11. box jump for height
  12. standing broad jump
    [b]
  13. 135 ground to overhead max reps
  14. BW bench + max pull ups + max dips
  15. Handstand push ups for reps[/b]
    Top 3 results and you’re “on the board”.

Any chance of TNation buy-in here?

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.[/quote]

I think we could set it up to pull in from the speciality forums.

Top Bench total, top bench by weight class, top bw for max…for example.

Also, something like 20 min max for c&p at 135, 165, 185, 200,… etc.

Just think about including as wide a range of training styles/groups as possible.

^That ain’t right, dude.

Is this just for the men or are there any females who would be interested in doing something like this?

If the mods are on board with this maybe they could put like a medal or something below the challange leader’s post count. This could also give posters more clout to their posts (you know the poster has accomplished something). Just an idea.

Easiest way to do this i think would be:

A thread for each challenge.

The first post in that thread will have the top 3 lifters posted at the top.

Links/videos of attempts will be posted underneath in the following posts.

I will edit the leader board after the videos have been judged / after the allocated time is up.

Maybe 1 review at the end of each month and the leader board for each challenge will be updated and the guys at the top will have the bragging rights!!

What you guys think?

Love it.

The medal below your name is a good one, I really like that idea.

Maybe a carrying challenge too? Like BW over 2 DBs for max distance?

You know the first two sentences I was okay enough, but at the end all I can say is fuck you.

Take your shit somewhere else.

Fucking prick there are like three other people posting shit, you pick me out dickhead.

Again fuck you and post something when you can actually lift some weights.

As one who is also posting “shit” I’ll say, that this is a thread that you’re using to figure out how to do other challenge threads. Nobody is fucking up THOSE threads, or have any intention on doing so. It’s GAL, EVERY thread gets off topic at some point. Deal with it and move on man. Just ignore the stupid stuff like everyone else does.

This sounds like a good idea to me but it would need it’s own “Cell” like TBG suggested. If we had that it would work great I think and it wouldn’t get all effed up with BS nonsense

fuck me sideways…

You will be waiting until you die if you wait for them to set this up for you.

Make threads in the training log section with the leader board as post one, challenge and rules as post two, and BAM.

Have this continue successfully for awhile and then they might give you guys a cell.
