....Any particular reason for the quickness? Unless your comfortable with the weight obviously
I'd always imagine its better to go slower?
To get the most reps in one minute?
Awesome job Benny. Get the hell out of the 1xBW category please.

Yeah my bad forgot it was a comp
Gotta be careful though, could screw the lower back
It's a max rep challenge?! For the 1.5xBW & 2xBW they will be more challenging and require pacing myself. That weight for me isn't particular challenging. As you can see I didn't need to stop during the minute so going slower would only lower my achieved reps
Yep apologies should have read the thread properly before opening my gob

Regular deadlifts are no where near as fast obviously.
You could say that about any deadlift speed/rep/weight combination. The deadlift is a perfectly safe exercise when performed properly and within your capabilities. It's often when people try to exceed their limits where injuries occur.
Yep
Understanding now, must be tired / delousional
I'll keep watch on the thread anyway

That made me LOL for some reason...
Probably because its spelled entirely wrong
Got a chuckle from me too!
I tell you what that attempt hasn't half ruined me! Absolutley knackered now! Wide grip chins, B.O.R's, Pull Down, DB Rows, Seated Row, Back Shrugs, some side raises & bicep isolation followed that!

Haha I can already feel my arms aching! Back doesn't feel too bad. Shoulders do from my raises. No doubt my glutes & hams will seize up something rotten over night!
I'm out tonight too as I'm travelling back home for easter tomorrow. Going to have to lug a 30KG suitcase around!
Probaly wasn't the best choice of day to do that!Edit: Cheers gents.
Hope you've got something up your sleeves
Edit2: Also is 45 correct? in which case I'll update the spreadsheet.

Well done and I count 45 as well if you need the confirmation.
I liked the way that the other guys just stopped to watch as well.I'll probably give this a go on Saturday but no chance am I getting anywhere near those sort of numbers.

Yup I count 45 reps too.
Hmmm 100kg x46 reps in 60s? No chance! I'll bloody give it a good go though!

Just go at it like a bat out of hell!
I was making quite a lot of noise with plate clinking. Was about 7 people stood behind the camera all smiling!
I won't be smiling when the best part of 180KG needed shifting. Hopefully make double figures and I'll be pleased with that!

That was gangsta! Haha
I have no chance of topping that! Especially at that speed!
I'm taking the week off training, when I'm ready to resume - I'll be trying for endurance so if it takes me above a minute - so be it!

Lactate build up really begins to set in around 45-50 seconds. Once the lactic acid system has kicked in your time is limited, literally. It's only so long before lactate stops the release of calcium into the muscle fibres hindering/making contractions physiologically impossible. So breathe, dig deep and let rip!
