Now now grumpy bum, no need to get all excited or not!Just making a comment that it is difficult for females as you have already acknowledged most of us are as weak as shit!Of course I will have a go, got to be in to win right!And besides where would you be if you did not have someone to wind up!

Here's my entry. 32 reps @ 72.5, 72.6 body weight. Failed on the 33rd, couldn't quite lock out Don't think I've ever done that many reps on anything ever, definitely a new challenge. Also my first post!JPS_IPF BW bench challenge.:

[Big_Mac]

Damn! Tell Travis he should sign up here and enter the comp for real. (And make sure he goes all the way up, because a few of those reps looked a bit short!) Definitely impressive at 105kg though.

 

JPS_IPF - welcome to Gymnation, bro. I saw there were a few people suggesting you enter in the promo post I put on FB, so I'm pleased to see the peer pressure worked!

 

And Big_mac - good to see you back too.

aaaaaaand not one full rep done

[ali g]

ok, heres my attempt at this challenge

benched 16 reps at my bodyweight of 50kg

 

[Realtalk]

Sorry, Have to agree here. During high rep bench tricep smaller muscle with less capacity so will fatigue faster. When you aren't locking out you aren't using your tricep, meaning you can do more reps because it's all pec. Wasn't that insane.

If someone did half rep squats in a squat comp they be ripped to pieces but someone does bench and no one says a thing. Ali's reps are a perfect example of the rules of comp.

[JPS_IPF]

Awesome Ali, well done

[Hu Gh]

Yeah those reps shit br0

It's the only solution once you've been beaten by a girl. That, or cut to 50kg.

I just tell myself im the natty king hahahaha

 

i think most girls could be fairly strong but most of them train retardly as fuk, like 20reps isolations and no compounds

[JPS_IPF]

I agree with realtalk, in saying that I've got a natural bend in my elbows 10 degrees on the right 7.5 left) I was born with it and remember having to always take a medical certificate with me to comps haha. Lucky the IPF made a rule that you're allowed upto a 10 degree bend in the elbow (if it's a natural defect) no more medical certificates for me!

[ali g]

great work ali g,

was that gymrat holding phone hmmm lol

 

thankyou... na, that was my 20 year old son, he thinks i'm a little insane for for doing this at my age!

[TashaW]

Inb4 f*ck all females enter coz most cant even do 1 rep bw. Not saying you should change it..just is ridiculous how weak females are

such a small mind, ridiculous how arrogant males are

[Hu Gh]

such a small mind, ridiculous how arrogant males are

One female entry so far compared to something like 15+ male entries. Ridiculous how small the female mind is when it comes to facts, logic and reasoning

[Spacebound]

You joined just to say that, shows alot about your own personality. Thanks for your great contribution, we are truly blessed to be in your presence 

[Pseudonym]

Spacebound, I'm hoping Tasha joined to enter the comp! (And really, Hugh's comment was asking for a retort.)

Hey Tasha, welcome to Gymnation. I see you've met our resident troll already. :roll:

 

I was hoping that a bunch of powerlifting chicks would come along and prove him wrong... sadly, that hasn't happened yet. There's still time though! Are you going to enter?
