NZBB's Strongest Bodybuilder Competition 2011

[greemah]

Here's me doing 1x8 deadlift of 187kg, currently 6' high weighing 80.5kg. Could have done it with more weight though I reckon

Each side has 3 20kg plates, 3 10kg plates, and the bar weighs 7kg. Plates look different as some are different brands

Sorry for the crap view didn't realise it was so shit till I watched the vid

[Shutupandsquat]

Yeah, I know the angle isn't good, but I think you can tell I'm hitting depth. and yes, I know I'm leaning forward but most people do anyway.

[crazyfacials]

that old man was miring you bro

but how come when you go back to a standing position you don't lock your legs unless you want a mini rest?

It's a bodybuilding competition. Constant tension.

BW is up to 67.

fuaarrk! That hobbit can squat! :pfft:

Watch out bro u nearly buckled forward on that last rep. Holy hell though good work considering your bodyweight!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Shutupandsquat]

I always nearly buckle on the last rep. But then I remember that I have balls and just get on with it. (no sexist)

[soundsgood]

Nice work Trainhard looking forward to the rest of your vids!

Great squatting Kyle, you Dolans are machines!

Greemah you didn't register but I'm guessing you are wanting to go in Internet Warrior class? Let me know if not. Good work bro, hope to see the other two lifts too.

Not long to go now guys! Get those videos in. As it stands now I'm the only one with all 3 vids in in elite class, Shutupandsquat is leading Novice class by default cos he's the only one with all 3 lifts up and no one has done all 3 in the IW class.

Let's goooooo

[hhhh1]

no way i can beat shutupand squat for squats. might just squat the bar for 8 reps haha

well if you just shut up and squat more you might be able to give him a run for his money strong squats bro

[DANIEL8]

lol the changing of music to a pumping song then head banging before the set haha. nice squatting bro

[Shutupandsquat]

Thanks guys.

Lol, I had my headphones in. I can't take lifting seriously when I have to listen to songs like, "It's raining men."

[tomleegolf]

I shall beat you on the squats and deadlift, just to piss you off

[I Declare War]

Exit, stage left! I think I'll leave this up to the hobbits and elves to sort out. :pfft:

Just kidding, looking forward to seeing your final lifts tomleegolf... good power to weight ratio you've got going!

[thatwaslight]

Great squatting man! Nice work...

[HarryB]

Depth is a little bit iffy cause I was trying to play the game a little. Let me know if it isn't good enough. Weighed in at 78.9kg

very nice bro! I better get my shit together!

[tomsammce]

good squats kyle! definitly good and not taking away from you. but for someone critiquing other peoples form like in the crossfit video the second half of your movement was like a good morning.

still tho 150 for 8 at your weight and age is very good. well done.

[internet warrior]

I noticed that kyle comes forward onto his toes while driving up. Is this normal? does it mean that he is quad dominant, or not sitting back far enough?

(Sorry to speak about you in the third person kyle, I just want to ask the opinion of everyone, including yourself).

I figure that although this is a competition, we might as well also talk about form seeing as the end goal is that we each get better at lifting...

I think a lot of it has to with inflexibility through the achilles and relative limb to torso length. It's heavy weight relative to age and bw so at the top end of anyone's strength there is always some stability issues. On a side note toes forward and closer stance like the Dolans use is more for quad development than straight power. You can shift more weight with a wider stance and pushing primarily through the heels because you recruit more glute and adductor. Lower bar position so body stays more upright etc etc etc

[Shutupandsquat]

Had a feeling you'd say that Tom haha.

I know the technique wasn't perfect throughout the top of it, but it's nearly 2 and a half times my body weight. On my previous sets, my form is a lot better. But I can see where you're coming from. That's why I stopped after the 8th rep. It was just way too fucking ugly I would have snapped my back haha.

And thanks Harry! Yeah, I prefer a close stance as well because I feel I can get deeper.

[tomleegolf]

Squatted 140 kg x7 last night, except this time no knee wraps, just belt and wrist wraps. I didnt even attempt the 8th as my brother called out that the camera ran out of memory so the vid cuts out at 7 reps. I wont post the vid here as it doesnt count anyhow, but anyone that wants to see it can go to my log

[greemah]

Thanks mate. Problem is I do 20 rep squats (currently doing 122kg) so not conditioned for heavy squatting at the moment and probably not much point breaking my routine for a couple of weeks to do the heavier squats for an Internet competition lol

[Luigi]

Hey umm so this is finishing in 3 days ? (that came round real quick doesnt look like to many vids posted yet worth extending it maybe ?
