Viking Power Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi People I threw up a little challenge in my log for the usual suspects that read it and that comment but my training log has become a Womens Day Mag with alot of interest in this challange. Now to stop people from staying I will do it and not realizing what is involved here it is for the serious people, a few of us guys are sitting 250 - 260kg deadlifts which must be done in a powerlifting competition and a few ladies are hitting a 100kg... so as a training incentive I put this challenge up for bragging rights only which means alot in our little world, to see where it goes.Men must hit 300kg in the deadlift in a competition any time though out 2011 finish date Dec 20th 2011Women must hit 140kg in the deadlift in competition anytime though out 2011 finish date Dec 20th 2011.It costs very little to enter a novice comp and I can help out anyone who is interested in entering a comp like when and where its going to be held... can't be a gym lift as we can hitch the weight and not lock out etc etc etc So lift must be done in a comp situation.So far People who want to use this as a training incentive are:Men (380kg) (case by case elevation)Nickoli Men (340kg) who deadlift max is 300kg Mike ZeroMen (320kg) (case by case elevation) TonkaMen (300kg) who deadlift max is 250 - 260kgBig John1st Update - 272.5kg Nov 2010 - W/BOP Novice Comp2nd Update - 282.5kg Nov 2011 - CBC Gym Lift :shock: Tongan TerrorViking Power1st Update - 260kg ( just missed) Nov 2010 - BBro NateMen (280kg) who deadlift max is 240kgBest BenchMen (270kg) who deadlift max is 225kgOhjoshuaDrizzt updated move up a level smoked 250kg is aiming now for 270kgupdate 2 - 252.5kg Auckland Novice Comp... 17.5kg to gofinal update - 265kg Powerhouse Open/Bledisbro Cup - close but no cigar!Men (260kg) classRookieMen (250kg) who deadlift max is 200kgRed Machine1st Update - 225kg Nov 2010 - W/BOP Novice Comp Tiny trapsLuigiM.TMen (240kg) who deadlift max is 190kgsamuelnzNickoMen (220kg) who deadlift max is 170kgSFSScrambledeggsMen (180kg) who deadlift max is 160kgtomleegolf achieved Sept 17th @ (WBOP) Zero Limits gym push/pull compMen Master Class (case by case elevation)Teamfatboy (220kg) who deadlift max is 170kg Ronin (210kg) who deadlift max is 160kgWomen (200kg) (case by case elevation)SportsGirlWomen (140kg) who deadlift max is 100kgMorattigirlNessPlease any one can join in below is the facts The only prize is your the best out of the group and you get bragging rights and great improvement on your deadlifts within a year.The only rule is it must be done in a comp and results can be posted for verification.VP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillicat Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm nowhere near in the running to hit 140kg right now (and cutting til end of year, so definitely won't be making any improvements) - but will follow the womenfolk with great interest (and muchos respect!).

bigdogbob Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 In terms of "must be verified in a comp"..does a monthly 3 lift 1RM that we do and is posted on the web and called/verified by a coach count?? http://www.crossfitbirkenhead.co.nz/arc ... #more-2116that's me at the bottom 110kg dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePman Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Speaking for myself, I'd want it done in IPF-rules competition or at least posted with a video for verification. Not that I don't trust other people's lifts or anything, but I don't trust other people's lifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonganTerror Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Speaking for myself, I'd want it done in IPF-rules competition or at least posted with a video for verification. Not that I don't trust other people's lifts or anything, but I don't trust other people's lifts Id like to go with the video verification and must be accepted by one and all as acceptable i.e lockout and weight on bar etc. end of the day the guys going for this arent some newbies who wanna cheat themselves....

ThePman Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I don't think anybody would cheat or lie, TT. It's just that there's form and then there's form, and what may be acceptable for some wouldn't be for others. At least if you go by IPF rules (bar can't move down, no hitching, must lock out completely, no dropping the bar, etc.) then everybody's on the same page.That said, video should be fine to figure that out. Doing it in a comp would just leave less room for error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Throw in a Masters' class, to separate the young novices from the geezers (or at least the geezers who've come to PL'ing late), I'd give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Power Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi Guys and GirlsYeah I have no worries in you posting video's off your lifts for progress reports but at the end of the day, the one rule was simple.... It costs very little to enter a novice comp and I can help out anyone who is interested in entering a comp like when and where its going to be held... can't be a gym lift as we can hitch the weight and not lock out etc etc etc The only rule is it must be done in a comp and results can be posted for verification.It must be completed at a IPF meet I will post up 2011 calender in dec 2010 when its out."Just makes it simple and fair"VP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessie don't worry Auckland has a number of comps for Novice thought out the year so shouldn't be any problems getting to one, and if you are going I could even come down and help out to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible for ya so your not stressing out about minor details, its up to you.VP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonganTerror Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 yeah bro Ill post up my lift next weekend at our second 1000lb club at our gym, hoping to total 1386lb I hope I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 OK TFB,What's your 1rm and and how much do you think you could increase your lift from now till dec 2011 and I'll come back to you with a target sound fair? VPSure does... my own deadlift 1RM from the recent Sheiko (not under PL comp conditions) was 170 (up 10kg).With some help from the deadlift gurus (sounds like a visit to the House is in order) I reckon I'd likely clear 220 within 12 months. I'd like to think I could make it to 250 with the youngsters, but that's an 80 kg / 50% increase. Probably do-able :shock: :pale: :grin: How's about a handicap - if I make it to 220, someone half my age has to pull twice that :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
