Deadlift Challenge

[TTT]

lol.. well that puts an end to that I'd say..

anyone think they can crank more than 27 today or tomorrow?

[Trozzle]

f**k. No.

That's obscene mate, well done!

[NickR33]

see told you, set the bar high... nice lifting

seriously though WTF crappy bar/plates are you using!? basically doing deads from a deficit every rep due to the small diameter of the plates lol... you could've propped them up on something

[TTT]

and at his height of 2.37m, each rep travels like the height of Troy

[-FIGJAM-]

started watching that doco TTT.... havent finished but so far the message that has come across is "do steroids and you will be a champion". Hope it finishes strong

[TTT]

Will be interesting how many supps you will still buy after it.

[-FIGJAM-]

haha

my heroes say to take my vitamins and say my prayers.

Used to train at the St Kilda PCYC... now at PTC Frankston

I knew it was your car, I was busting my brain trying to work it out. You've changed the plates. I'll say hi next time I see you!

[NickR33]

yeah personalised plates just attract a lot of unwanted attention... car is obnoxious enough without them... say hi for sure, I've been following your build, loving your work:)

lol at Simon Husky being a professional lifter.

Simon has never been a member of a Fed nor has he ever competed in an official comp, just garage comps, last one was 4-5 years ago

[markos]

Well done to the winner, great job.

Have you ever competed big fella, I know you used to train at MusclePit.

WA states coming up soon

No never competed . I did some lifting/training when I was 30 , with some silly idea of getting ready to do some track and field.. Never did get round to it(track). I was only going to a regular gym that happened to have a decent lifting setup. Was training by myself at the time so learned what I could. I got pretty strong, didn't realise it at the time. I was about 80 something kilos , I can't actually remember the deadlift weights but, I was squating sets of 250kg (235 on the bar) for 5-6 rep sets. I have some pics from back then , with some heavy equipment based lifts.

Had not done any deads since then. This last deads session is only my second since then. Did some training with some friends a few years back but, no deads or squats in that program (shock horror). Got sick a few times in the in between years and lost losts of weight. Plenty of it from the legs.

To correct the confusion I worked with Henry at Xerox (we talked about the comps and training alot) but, haven't trained with him yet.Kept putting it off. Sent a few people his way and figured more recently I would make an appearence once I am ready. I believe I have lots to learn since I have never been coached on lifing properly in my view.

definately like to see if I would be any good at the comp side of things looks like fun.

Ha ha... yes gheto weights. It's not so bad if I have to travel a bit further in the ROM I suppose, it's all about giving my back a good workout.

I think I irritate the missus as I am pinching all the weights to stick on the bar and then forgeting to put them all back. I think she is keen for me to go to the gym ha ha..

Well I reckon you can now set the next challenge mate.

Start a new thread with the next forum challenge.

Your choice.

Look at the results from this thread and make it suitable for the masses... after all it is to get everyone in to the spirit of friendly competition and to push themselves.

Also, PTC Perth hold Novice comps that you could go and try your hand at to get the bite which you will no doubt get to start PL again.

It's still possible for someone to do 28+ today. Come on people , you can't let the almost 40 dude win.

Yeah the PTC is in Malaga which is much closer than Muscle Pit. I am thinking that might be a good place to go.

I really want to learn the techniques to lift right and address the strength imbalances I have. Its more important for me to get that right before training hardcore for strength or comps. I believe that the efficiency of lifting right is actually a great way to safeguard the body for the long term and thats what I am after.

[markos]

Dan and Paul are fantastic guys, they will look after you, they have some awesome equipment. I was there for the opening, Perth is an amazing place

[R32GOJIRA]

Well there is no way im getting 28+ reps. I barely got 15 the first time and yesterday i only got 14 before i was rooted lol.

Awesome effort rev210.

[GTR_JOEY]

Had another crack today, had to put the weight up to 127.5kg as i weighed in a bit heavier today

managed 22 reps this time, still not the best but an improvment at least

[markos]

Brilliant effort Joey

[GTR_JOEY]

Thanks Markos
