Dinahlady Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Damn wish I'd carried on cutting since the transformation challenge LOL. Not too keen on trying to rep 80kgs on bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Should we make the womans category @ 75% of bodyweight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZIDE Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Should we make the womans category @ 75% of bodyweight?i would imagine that 50% bodyweight would be more similar in outcome (no. reps) to a guy doing bodweight. if its seperate classes it dosnt really matter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'll get the ball rolling58 reps @ 120kg I'm not going to lie, this sent my blood pressure through the roof, the lactic acid build up was horrible and my back cramped up big time. It wasn't pleasant lol. Haven't done high reps in ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phedder Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Did half the squats today after my main deads and squats, Just set myself a target of 5x5x100kg in 2min 30, I got it but was getting tough. Not sure I could keep that pace up for a full 5 min, very solid effort SG! Might give the bench portion a shot on Saturday and squats properly next Saturday (conditioning day so I think this qualifies haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Any chance of pushing back the date to the end of Feb? Pls go.just post up ur video, hamish didn't even get 12 reps per minute...

Leeroid Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm sure this is gonna be like one of those WODs where it looks easy on paper and it's an entirely different story when you actually attempt it. Wonder if anyone will break the 100 barrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.T Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 38@110 for Squats. I have a video but pretty sure I can beat that. Didn't find it too hard and under estimated how much time I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Just had a pre bench test before I do the real deal on tuesday. Did 23 straight . Re reracked. Then 5 . Then about 3 then 3 haha. In about 2 min 30 haha. Harder then it looks . Figure ill blast out up to 25 then take bigger rests and try work on a set number each min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if anyone will break the 100 barrierExactly this!I thought sweet I'll go 25 rest, 20 rest 15 rest 10 rest 10 rest then eek out as many as I can go and prob do 90+ without even tryingBut the fatigue adds up if you're not used to going and going. I actually think a crossfitter would be perfect for this challenge. Probably doesnt weigh much and fantastic muscle endurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was reading the new posts in this topic thinking, "It's all about endurance. I bet a crossfitter would be good at this."Thanks, Soundsgood. You stole my lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
