WEEK 5 - SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11 TO SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18

Challenge: DUMBELL GRIP (*with HALF of your body weight worth of weight, in EACH HAND). as long as you can hold them in seconds
rules: grab a pair of dumbells equaling your weight. stand, feet together, and hold them parallel at your sides for as long as you can.
do not hold them infront of you. do not rest them on your legs. do not use chalk. do not use straps.
time yourself with a wall clock, or with a friend, etc
why?: If you cant hold on to it, you cant do anything with it!


*eg. if you weigh 180lbs, you should be holding a 90lb dumbell in each hand.

Most gyms should have dumbells high enough for most of us (up to 100lbs). If your gym doesnt go quite high enough, you can try to put something together using barbells or something, or just use the highest weight you can.



Post up your results as follows or they wont be included in the results:
Revscene - 10 seconds @ 180lbs


this is strictly for fun, so use your own honor and don't cheat.

[BrRsn]

fuuuuuck .. I've never even touched a 110lb dumbbell before, you get stares when you walk to that side of the dumbbell rack lol.

[Fcukedd]

Will just holding a pair of dumbbells by your side improve grip strength or anything?

yes

Ok guys cleaned up some posts... again... keep the chatter to a minimum. This is all for fun and not meant to be a pissing contest. I left the last 2 posts because they are funny but deleted the rest.

Berz out.

[RRxtar]

I will give a thanks to anyone who can hang on for more than 3 minutes. I expect the average to be less than a minute.

[Berzerker]

Wow that's a pretty low average... have you given this a test run? I really have no idea how long I'll last... hopefully longer than I do in bed....

Berz out.

[jeffh]

well, i went to 45 seconds to see how it felt, ill do a minute for real i think

[RRxtar]

i havent tried. infact i dont really have any idea how long i could hold on to em for.

but i do know that regardless of how much anyone deadlifts or rows or whatever, all of those exercises last less like 15-20 seconds tops. its not about how strong your back or shoulders or legs or arms are. its 100% grip. 4 fingers and a thumb and nothing else. i promise by the time you think it should still be simple, that weight is going to be pealing your fingers open and you're going to be watching the clock and the seconds are going to be taking forever to go by.

[Berzerker]

Berz 1min 48 seconds @ 100lbs per hand.

Ripped a callous off my hand in the process. I just walked up as soon as I got there grabbed hold and held on for dear life.

Oh and for the "skews" my DB's are small and not the fat grip ones....

[XplicitLuder]

beast ;o and did anyone look weird at you for just standing there holding them ? lol

[Berzerker]

No I've told the people at the gym about the weekly challenge. They help me get pumped up for it. I had a guy beside me doing it too but only lasted 1 min 20 @ 80lbs per hand.

I might try again but it's painful.

[Fcukedd]

So how long did you hold it for? :troll:

Berz out.

[Lamboda]

Got 11 down. @ 122lbs

[Berzerker]

How wide would you say your hand have to be to qualify for this challenge. I'm not nit picking I'm just wondering what you guys consider wide grip. Wide grip would have your arms in a W shape at the top rather than an inverted M right?

Berz out.

[Phozy]

^ Correct, with your head making the middle of the W :P

I think the next challenge should be dips :D

[RacePace]

11 @ 198lbs

I've bulked up by almost 20lbs, but I can still do the same amount as I used to do at a lower weight for all my body weight exercises, weird

[Fcukedd]

+ 15 Muscles ups (see 10 muscle up video a few pages back).

Fuark

That's sick. I just hit 10 during Monday's workout, but probably going to lay off of them for a bit. The last 2-3 reps put a lot of strain on my wrist, and hurts like fuck sometimes.

17 wide grip pullups @ 148lb

you do 19 as wide as possible? vid?

shit! this is where I rep out 15 on vid and get called out. Ill take a shitty blackberry vid. but I will say this its beneficial to have short arms when it comes to wide grips.

why?: because Phozy said so.

Do you mean dips using two benches or between beams? They work the same but feel different. Between beams I did 25 deep (elbows to about 100-110 degrees), and I weigh 205lbs. Wasn't a tricep day though so if warmed up I could probably do more.

thought i could do way more fuck

waaaaaaaaat. was expecting so much more

[SkinnyPupp]

Phew. Apparently sarcasm failed me. Besides I was actually mirin you if you could do 1 single legged squat haha never mind with db press after! haha.

Oh and for the challenge

Berz 24 @ 198lbs. NO warm up.

Berz out.
Well apparently you're not the only one!

In all seriousness, I think hand walkouts would be a good one. Not the pussy ones where you go into a pushup position, but the hardcore ones where you extend your arms all the way out to form a plank on your toes. A good challenge would be to see how long it takes to do 20 reps. You can rest as many times as you want, but that will kill your time! And I bet some people will never be able to hit 20

[Berzerker]

I'm going to do the dips again but do more of a tricep grip. I bet I could get a couple more out. I was using a chest grip and leaning forward quite a bit to really just use chest.

Berz out.

Well that same person was the only one who actually posted a video for the squat challenge (Correct me if I'm wrong). So props to that.

JSilver 28 @ 162lbs

Zero warm-up. This was this morning on my leg day. Started to feel the burn at 25 reps. Pretty sure I could have done a lot more if I warmed up and consistently do dips in my workout routine but meh.

I'll be happy to take any criticism on my form. Always room for improvement.

Guess I'm a gym snob :p

[JSilver]

No more challenges?

[SkinnyPupp]

RRXStar (sorry if I got your name wrong bro) has been gone a while

[AAnthony]

I don't wanna say it, because i'm worried people will throw their backs out and blame me....but..... Dead-lift! It's one of the main compounds we haven't done.
1 and a half times your body weight, high rep challenge???!!?!?! Focusing on form. Sloppiness + dead-lift is a really bad mix.
So if you're 180 you're DL'ing 270.

or maybe just bodyweight....

*Edit* maybe another squat challenge would be better

[RRxtar]

I havent put DLs up because not everyone on here does them. and as you said its one of those exercises where you can really hurt yourself by pushing too hard.


i apologize for not putting any challenges up. ive been so busy with work i havent thought about it much. if someone else wants to take over posting them up for a few weeks go for it! maybe whoever wins the weekly challenge gets to post the next weeks one.

[Phozy]

Pushups challenge? :D Just a suggestion

[Excelsis]

pushups with a plate on your back ? :troll:

[Berzerker]

How many weeks has the challenges been going on for? I say we start over at the beginning and do it all again in the same order. We can compare previous results with ourselves to judge personal improvement while still competing to better our "ranks" on all the lifts.....

Berz out.

[Phozy]

Next one will be week 10.. im down! Good sugggestion berz.

First challenge was pullups, any variation.

"Wednesday Oct. 26 to Nov. 2nd"

Challenge: CHIN UP'S reverse grip as many as you can in a row
rules: do as many Chin Up's as you can in a row without stopping.
do not use any cheating motion to help like kicking or swinging your legs.
must go to 95% or better extension.
why?: chin up's and pull ups are a fantastic way to work your upper back and arms. variations can hit everything from thickening your mid back to outer back to adding a width to your lats. shoulders and arms also come into heavy play. it is an even exercise because whether you are 135lbs and weak or 250lbs and strong, you're moving your own body weight doing a fundamental movement.

Post up your body weight, and number of years training along with your result for comparison too


this is strictly for fun, so use your own honor and dont cheat."



Everyone agree? :D

[Berzerker]

Sounds good but we should change that one to chinups as we have a wide grip challenge later on. Since there is no "arm" challenge chinups is the closest thing..... Edited it for you hope you don't mind....

Also lets see some more vids this time around!!! I'll be videoing every challenge this time. I challenge you all to post up some vids!

There won't be a deadlift challenge. Were not going to do something that is really easy to fuck up on and hurt yourself. Especially once you get fatigued.

Berz out.

Lame. Personally, I disagree and believe that once you have the form down you really can't screw it up when lifting below a certain weight. Just need to know your boundaries. If you lift too heavy then of course you'll be more likely to hurt yourself, because you will be sacrificing form for weight.

please post video

Haha mayhaps I will post a vid of high rep, but there is no way in hell that I could lift 6 plates each side. Holy shit, I can only dream.

WEEK 11 - Thursday November 3rd - Thursday November 10th

Challenge: SQUATS (*with your body weight worth of weight, including the bar). as many as you can in a row
rules: do as many full squats as you can in a row without stopping. do not stop for longer than you would in a regular set.
must go to beyond parallel or deeper (ATG).
why?: The squat is the king of all exercises!

*eg if you weigh 170lbs. bar (45) + 45x2 (90) + 10x2 (20) + 5x2 (10) +2.5x2 (5) = 170lbs



Post up your body weight, along with your result for comparison too

We are starting all the challenges over again as I feel that each major muscle group was well represented in the previous challenges. I'm not going to do a "curl in the squart rack" challenge or a handstand pushup challenge as those are covered with previous ones. This is a chance to see if you've improved over the past 2 months as well still promoting some competition. If anyone has a particular challenge they want to do throw some ideas out and we'll see what we can make work.

For a future challenge I propose standard width pushups or military press. No bullshit half reps, down til your chest/chin touches the floor.

I was thinking of the military press that's like a pushup, I'm probably calling it by the wrong name. It's a like a half pushup half dip, on your knuckles, palms in. Gotta do it on a hard surface, see how tough you guys are ;)
