The body weight squat challenge

[Alpha_Wings]

Gave weighted pistols a go a while ago. Managed to get one on 48kg holding a couple kettlebells. Never thought about standing on a box though,might make it a bit easier to keep the weight off the ground.

Well done! Great effort!! Try keeping your leg straight and coming down slowly and hold at the bottom. Gives maximum contraction and works your muscles harder. Awesome!

Sweet will have to practice some more once my knee stops giving me a hard time. Might try with a barbell as well and see how that goes.

As for this challenge was gonna give it another go today,but couldn't gather the motivation.

[Wongmania]

Ugh... Well that was harder than I expected... Only got 7 at 115kg. Tried out low bar today. Feels so strong compared to high bar.

[Veno]

I only got 12 on friday haha, mainly cause of a ankle problem but whatever. I'll try with sleeves tonight. How people are doing 20-25 is beyond me, cardio much fuuuuu.

 

Fuk it, ankle was playing up on warm-ups tonight.

 

Poverty 12 reps from friday @ 157.5kg. Ankle pain kicked in right on that 3rd rep haha -

 

[Alpha_Wings]

Good Luck To Everyone!

Damn, didn't realise this ended on Sunday. I'll make a vid tonight anyway just to experiment. Don't think I can do better than 33 though!

[Realtalk]

So who won?

[maccaz]

So who won?

Results and prize winmers etc will be up tonight

[Pseudonym]

Sorry guys - here are the results (if you haven't already worked them out for yourselves...)

 

 

No surprises that Leeroid's whopping 33 reps(!) of 127.5kg took out the men's prize.

 

TashaW was not far behind with 30 reps, winning the women's prize on 82.5kg.

 

The Best Effort prize, judged by the member with the most Likes here, went to Reddog. He posted two attempts and collected Likes on both - otherwise he'd have tied with Ryanstyles. Sneaky!

 

Congratulations to the three of you - you've each won a bucket of Horleys finest ICE whey protein!

 

And as for our spot prize winners...

EVERYONE ELSE WHO ENTERED!

 

That's right... all those who gave it a shot have earned themselves an entire box of any of Horleys protein bars. And that's why it pays to take part!

 

 

Well done, guys. Please PM Maccaz, and give him your full name, address, and choice of flavour...

ICE Whey winners - Swiss Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla or Strawberry Frost.

Protein bar winners - one of the following flavours/products:

• Horleys Protein33 bars (choose from Cookies'n'Cream, Chocolate Fudge, or Tropical Crush)
• Horleys CarbLess Original bars (choose from Double Dutch Choc Fudge, Coconut Brownie, or Banana Caramel)
• Horleys CarbLess Crunch bars (choose from Chocolate Crunchy Nut, Peppermint Rough, Rocky Road, or Caramel Deluxe)

 

And of course a massive thanks goes to Horleys, who are always amazing in their support of us. Think of them when you're enjoying your winnings (those CarbLess Crunch bars are particularly good). Maybe snap a selfie for your social media profiles, and tag Horleys and Gymnation when you do.

 

Cheers guys - look out for the next comp!

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

Thanks for running the comp. Always good to challenge yourself and good to have the motivation to do so.

[Leeroid]

You have to share your prize with your assistants, Reddog.

 

So much cuteness. Was that another ploy to get more likes?

That's how 95% of all powerlifters started off, so there is hope for sub,sub,sub jnr.

Just a pre apology but expect to see more of me in the future. Haha

Also... What bars should I ask for??!! Ooohhh choices, choices...

[Alpha_Wings]

@pseudonym Have they been sent? D; 

[Pseudonym]

It took a few days to collect everyone's details, but we got the addresses through to Horleys late on Thursday, so I expect the prizes will be sent out early next week.

[Alpha_Wings]

Awesome!  

[Veno]
