And once you've decimated Nandos you can drop into Krispy Kreme in Selfridges and just position yourself at the end of the conveyer belt

They aren't true, I'm the smallest person on this forum and I only eat about a fist full of food a day ;(

Been pretty quiet round these parts lately, work is an arse and i've been really under the weather. Since this is only a quick blast down the M6 for me, sign me up please!

Steedie · 12 Oct 2012 at 08:20

Good lad

MBennett · 12 Oct 2012 at 09:34

What's the 2013kg challenge?

Got to admit I am tempted by this, although I would be a noob!! - I'm not paying for the food

LiE · 12 Oct 2012 at 09:37

It's most likely a volume challenge.

Ultra_Extreme · 12 Oct 2012 at 09:54

who can lift 2013kg in the fewest repetitions using all 4 compounds? that would be interesting

Steedie · 12 Oct 2012 at 10:12

Updated the second post for challenge details

Cool, but im not peeing in a cup

i dont think u can draw peeps at random if me ice and morbs got a team u all be foooooked

Steedie · 12 Oct 2012 at 10:20

Well, obviously if either one of you three are in the same team we'll move it around

I may even base the teams on the Powerlifting totals board

So one from the top 20, one from the 21-40, and then one from below will make up a team (random of course still)

Delvis · 12 Oct 2012 at 10:25

Sounds good steeds (post two)

Even though I can't bench, I shant be doing it

I'll break my shoulder

or weight class? a leightweight or newb, a middleweight and a heavy or high level ?

Steedie · 12 Oct 2012 at 10:28

Yeah even could do that

We'll see closer to the time who's going and how many, and then see which will be the best system

you thought the same about your deadlifts and squats and your back, dont underestimate the power of good rehabilitation!

LiE · 12 Oct 2012 at 10:46

but I'm top 5 and lightweight baby

Most of us could tier ourselves anyway, those at the upper end know who they are and who they shouldnt be teamed with lol. the difficult part will be figuring those in the middle ground with the 'around bodyweight' lifts.

sounds fun anyway

You're right yes, but everytime I do BB bench my shoulder is gash, so I don;t do it

It's on the road to recovery anyway, but I just do flat DB now

Morba · 12 Oct 2012 at 11:30

Max for 8, interesting

Ultra_Extreme · 12 Oct 2012 at 11:31
