I had a go with 144 kilos .5 of a kilo heavier than my body weight, I think benny is safe from me knocking him off of his perch. Unofficially 28 will get a recording when I get my laptop back, hopefully I can better 28.

Yeah I think I went at it too quickly - if I pace myself a bit better I think I can get 40... 45 is going to take some doing though!

hahaha FF, really going for it at the start there. Looks a lot harder than expected, well done lads!

Freefaller · 27 Mar 2010 at 19:21

28@144 is immense though!! :eek:

Just a bit!

I'm thinking to myself, 100kg? meh, that's nothing, I powerclean that - how hard can it be?

Answer? Very bloody hard!!!!

BennyC · 27 Mar 2010 at 19:27

Good effort lads!

Hard work isn't it!

I'll update the totals

I'm glad that impressed someone, I thought it was crap lol. It done my asthma the world of good, unless my body weight drops I can't see me bettering that.

Well done SPW, can really see that fatigue setting in!

Cheers, I'd said beforehand that anywhere around the 20 mark and I'd be happy so I'm fairly happy with that but I can't help feeling that I should be able to get a bit nearer to 30 if I do it again. The 1.5xBW I've got no real ambitions for beyond being able to lift it once or twice, it'll be my heaviest deadlift to date at that point anyway.

No ****!!!!! :eek:

I won't beat your 45, but I want to hit 40 so I can hit 4 tonnes too!

Dude that's over 4 tonnes in 60s! It's not to be sniffed at! Don't put yourself down buddy!

Wish I could see everyone's YouTube videos, I'm posting from my phone boo hoo.

You'll only see me looking like I'm having an epileptic fit with a bar

grr you swines, ive been training to recomp and lose a bit of weight for my Florida holiday in November (so i can fit on the rides

) .. but now ive got the bug and im switching to ME/DE to get my DL back to where it should be for this!

p4radox · 29 Mar 2010 at 20:20

Had my second attempt at 1xBW today:

Weight: 90kg
Bar Weight: 20kg + 70kg plates
Reps Achieved: 24 (if you count the last one)

I've improved on my last attempt, but my grip completely went 10 seconds from the end: I got a big cramp in my right forearm. The last rep was pretty shoddy because of this.

Freefaller · 29 Mar 2010 at 21:13

Nice one buddy! Solid reps :cool:

I could feel your pain near the end!

PAz · 29 Mar 2010 at 21:50

good lifting everyone!

35 reps @ 90kg saturday morning

plates are 20|10|5 each side (obv 20kg oly bar)

i was hungover as **** so reckon i can squeeze out a few more next week

PAz · 29 Mar 2010 at 21:50

Pigeon_Killer · 29 Mar 2010 at 21:53
