Pseudonym Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Earlier this week we were talking about a 1000lb total in 15 seconds, and how we should turn it into a challenge The awesome people at Mighty Ape want to see this happen, so they’ve put up a big bag of Mutant Whey protein for the winner, plus a bunch of other cool spot prizes... Here's how it works:The aim is simply to lift the maximum weight in the minimum time. Specifically, that means we'll take your total in Wilks points - squats, bench and deadlift - then divide that by your time. The clock starts as you descend on your squat, and stops after the deadlift when your weight hits the floor (this gives us precise start/stop points). You can win either by being strong, or by being fast. Because this challenge involves the Wilks formula, you'll need to show yourself on the scales. And of course you need to show each of the weights you'll be lifting. Full reps only, please. Wraps/sleeves/belts are allowed. Usual terms and conditions apply. The challenge ends Sunday 18th October, so you've got just over a week. Get into it!

Hopefully get a chance to try.Do you reckon next Sunday gives everyone long enough? The idea was that this just would be a quick-and-dirty little challenge, so I didn't want to drag it out for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Possible to squat, drop the bar to the floor off your back, run to the bench then go deadlift the squat bar.#2barsolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks for getting us started, FOTR. Definitely doesn't make it easy with only one bar. Soundsgood - I think I count 32 plates in total here... Was that all you could find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Haha yeah man was running dry on plates lol. Things I learnt - Knee wraps probably not a good idea, sleeves be better overall as they got in the way of setting up bench and deadlifts - Have your bars all in close proximity so you're not wasting time running between stations- If you can't then at least have your route planned and clear beforehand (I wasted 15 seconds running around trying to get from the bench to the deadlift platform- Chalk your hands before the squats so you not wasting time chalking before deadlifts I reckon I could get my time under 30 seconds and probably total another 100kg more. Hopefully I'll get another shot before entries close Pseudonym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
