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


32 @ 170.

Then I thought it'd be smart to try to do chinups. It wasn't.

17 @ 170 chinups.

[SkinnyPupp]

Wow Fonz you're tiny :eek:

PS I'm not criticizing, I just thought you were bigger. You must be really lean right now to be 170!

[Berzerker]

32 shit that's a nice number! I really hope I can do better than my last attempt at this. I feel stronger overall but lets see how the muscle endurance is now.

haha when you last saw me I was probably well over 200. Training almost every day for 2 years sure does help :)

Not lean enough - need to get down to 160 to compete in lightweight. It's so ridiculously hard. Fawk.

[Berzerker]

Challenge day Brah's. Had a rough ROUGH weekend but to sum it up, I'm not to optimistic today lol. Might have to give it a go and then try again on Thursday if I suck really bad. As before I'll be posting up a vid.

rules: do as many full PRESSES as you can in a row without stopping. do not stop for longer than you would in a regular set.
must go to your normal depth
why?: CHEST brah! Fantastic upper body lift using chest, shoulders, arms.

eg. If you weight 200lbs you would have a 100lb dumbell in each hand.

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

I stopped doing flat barbell bench because of my shoulders (peaked @ 3 plates :() so for this one i'm probs going to do 85 lb dumbbells instead.
Personally I think a body-weight dumbbell challenge would be WAYYY more difficult.

[Berzerker]

I rounded up instead of down.

Berz 5 @ 102lb

The ones lower were 97lb (most gyms label 100's wrong because they count the plates on the DB's but don't take the bar into consideration)

Couldn't find a decent place for video so no vid for this one. I "may" try again and get a buddy to video it later in the week.

I lose with long arms.

[Gerbs]

0 @ 60lbs, :okay:

[JD¹³]

You have to start somewhere. I'd say find the weight you can comfortably do 10 reps of and concentrate hard on your form. Flex and squeeze your chest through the entire rep and hold at the top for a full "one-onethousand". Arms down square to 90 degrees so you're feeling the stretch at the bottom end of the rep. If you do weight that's comfortable for you and focus on your form I guarantee you will see increased strength in as little as 3 weeks. Once you've got the basics down you can start to push and see what you can really press without the risk of hurting yourself.

EDIT - And that goes for any exercise on any muscle. Do your research, watch YouTube videos of proper technique before you try something new. I can't count how many guys I see rocking their bodies on the seated row machine, yanking back with their upper body with weight that's way too much for them, and pulling the cable barely half way to their abdomen and thinking they're strong. I'm waiting for someone's lower back to explode. By doing exercises totally wrong you're only cheating yourself while looking like an idiot in the process.

Also, I love how the activity of this thread exploded again once the challenge involved bench press

The idea if you can't do 1 rep at the specified weight is to find the highest weight you can do 5 reps at :)

I can probably hit 16 or 17 if I had adequate rest. The spotter didn't help at all, even though his hands are touching my arm. I have a really bad shoulder and it was just precaution. I should've went a little lower, but shoulder is again limited.

I know! I never noticed that habit until today. I never used to do that, and I'll have to be conscious about it from now on. Form is important to me and I would rather go down in weight than do a bad rep. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh and I hate how my legs look so pinner from that angle. And jiggly. :heckno:

[strykn]

real strong for ur size splash good job keep it going brah

[JSilver]

Another tip would to not drag the weight across your body, looks as though your pulling them up with your shoulders. Although it may not hurt or anything now; it'll effect your shoulders in the long run. Kick the weights up from your knee and roll back. And keep your head on the bench.

I'll post a video tonight.

Thanks for the tip. Anything under 100 I tend to get the weight up like that. For 100lb DBs and above, I swing my legs back to get it up. I'll keep it in mind though.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[TouringTeg]

People probably know this already, but a friend showed me good way to get the db's up for flat bench. I find kicking the weights up with my knees doesn't work for me above 80lbs.

Put the weight on your knees and then keep your arms straight/even and tighten your core and bring your whole body back in one motion and your db's will be in the air above you. Reverse the motion for the putting the weights back down.

[hx2gls]

I know I am late but I did the squat challenge. 13 @ 135. Three more than I expected to do and I felt like I probably could've pushed out a couple more if I had a spotter

Most people have shit form when it comes to DB presses. They're just not used to the stabilizing the weight. I actually think most people on here will probably count those 2 inch bull shit reps.

[JD¹³]

How far do you guys go down. I saw a buncha guys going down half way to their chest :heckno:
I go elbows to 90 degrees. When warming up with like 40's I'll stretch out by coming down until the weight actually touches my chest and hold it for 15 seconds between reps.

WEEK 13! DEAD MANS HANG
Using any grip you want (without straps of course) hang and time yourself. NO bullshitting numbers this time as your bodyweight is the ONLY thing you will be holding on to. Chalk up, Shut up, and Hold ON!

Winner of this weeks challenge gets a tub of ON Whey generously donated by Splmash! If you win and you want it, you have to go pick it up. TO CLAIM A WINNING TIME THE USER MUST POST A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH FEET OFF THE GROUND AND HANDS IN THE FRAME AT ALL TIMES. I feel this is only fair as there is a prize involved.

Good luck everyone enjoy the pain!

[Berzerker]

Actually haha Aanthony I didn't even notice.. Just figured this is one where the playing field is relatively equal for everyone... I could be wrong though. All in good fun boys!

Anyways Berz, great idea for a challenge and this definitely isn't a freebie for Hal0 =P

Yes! Not last :D Damn this should be interesting. Better go to MEC and buy some chalk already.

Are we allowed to reposition ourselves? Or are no movements allowed at all?
Like, if our hands were slipping

As long as our feet don't touch anything, right?

Re positioning is okay, just make sure your feet is in the air at all times.

[chin3se604]

going to imagine lava on the ground :megusta:

[XplicitLuder]

i did this in p.e... 23 secs :fuckthatshit:

[subordinate]

Can we dangle our feet like we're riding a bike when our grip is slipping to add extra seconds, or readjust our grips because of slippage?

Serious questions. Thanks.

[Berzerker]

Should we say 1 readjustment is allowed? Do whatever you want with your feet just don't let them touch anything.

Berz out.

[Berzerker]

Well I made attempt number 1 today. Dunno how long it was but it HURT! lol. I'll upload the vid when I get home and watch it and get a time. I hope it was more than a minute :fuckthatshit: lol

[Fcukedd]

Wish I could participate in these types of challenges but I have tendonitis in my fingers, and if I grip something for a long period of time, they feel all fucked up and my workout in general will then suffer. I never go over 8 reps with deadlifts. :okay:

Been really sick so I knew I wouldn't be able to hang for long. Going to try on Tuesday.

[Berzerker]

I tried again today. I'll post vid when I get home. I can STILL feel my forearms from the last time lol. No idea on time I had my eyes closed and tried to zone out. I know I was in pain a lot sooner and a lot longer than last time though lol. If Splmash did anything over 2 mins I think he's going to get the win. If I bettered my time I'll call that a personal success haha.

Edit. Ok so I timed it and I got by my count 1:53 seconds. LOL. It's so close that I guess we'll need an outside judge to watch and time them if it's for the win.

haha Nice! It's fucking tough! It's also because the blood has to travel UPHILL to your forearms and your hands also your shoulder position limits blood flow so you really run out of endurance fast in that position :)

Im gonna go in and do a Cold one today to see if i can break 2mins.

[Berzerker]

AAnthony I actually spat my coffee out as I was scrolling down and saw the name of that video hahaha.

It's funny because you "think" you'll be able to re-grip to get more time but by the time it's actually time to re-grip all you can think about is the pain in your hands and if you let go to re-grip there is no fucking way I'll be able to get a better grip than the death claw that is now my hand haha.

Sorry Brah's! I'll post up the results when I get a couple minutes but for the next challenge its...


SEATED MILITARY PRESS with half your bodyweight as many as you can

We all know how to do this, I expect some big numbers out of a few of us. Only stipulation I'm going to put is that it must be in front of the face not behind the neck. The bar I use for this has a bend in it so I can put my arms directly beside my head and bar passes behind it. If you have this bar feel free to use it as well. Arms must go at least parallel with the floor to count as a rep.

I was trying to decide if we should go .75% bodyweight but 1. were all monkeys and not good at math and 2. I figure some high reps wouldn't be to fun to do so fuck it. Enjoy the pain assholes! :fuckthatshit:

Berz out.

[hud 91gt]

So this is a barbell press, as apposed to DB's for clarification? I won't be contributing to this one due to the inability to do overhead exercises due to a bummed shoulder, but good luck!

[Berzerker]

Barbell yes and shitty for the no overhead movements. How do you work your shoulders?

Berz out.

[TouringTeg]

Never done seated press with the barbell. I do military press and db shoulder press. How much does the short bar weigh?

I'll give it a try next shoulder day. I have the one with the bends in it as well.

[RRxtar]

ive never done seated military presses with the barbell either. and my gym doesnt have a half high seat only fully high (as high as the top of your head). dont know how i can do this.

[Berzerker]

Short bar?

RRxtar how do you do your DB presses? On the highback seat? Can you not get a barbell up and then sit down and press it on the same seat?

Berz out.

[RRxtar]

i do db press with the highback but i can lower the dbs beside my head. cannot lower barbell thru my head. and bringing the bar down infront of your face puts the weight out of perpendicular with your shoulder alignment if you dont lean your head back

[Berzerker]

Ah Yea I can see dat der problem.

Berz 21 @ 100lbs

Berz out.

Yes my gym has the olympic size (45lbs) and then shorter ones that are about 2-3 ft long. Straight and one with bends.

I don't have the bar that will go around my head so will have to do this one with dumbells

[PK6o4*]

why dont u use the 45lb olympic bar lol

Berz out.

Shoulders get worked with everything you do whether it be chest or back. Add some basic raises and they seem to be doing just fine. The doc says I may never be able to do heavy lifting over my head ever again.

[TouringTeg]

For the same reason RRxstar posted. I think it would throw off your form when you try to bring the bar in front of your face?

Might cycle back and do a few for fun.

oo ic ic so if dumbbells r used would it be half the weight your barbell pressing ex. berz would be doing 50 dbs instead of 100 barbell?
i find dumbbells to be easier since id only be doing 35s in that case (rounding down @ 148lbs) in comparison to 75lb barbell or maybe ill just try both lol
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[Berzerker]

If you have a short chair that you can slightly arch your back and get your head out of the way so it's easier. DB's won't be a fair comparison I don't think just like with Bench it's one or the other. Hmm might have to change this one up a bit if not enough people wanna do it.

I guess DB's half bodyweight divided by 2 so for me it would be a 50lbs per hand?

Berz out.

[PK6o4*]

imo we should stick to barbell and just move your head out of the way it is not too difficult & it is only 1 set
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[AAnthony]

I'm definitely doing dumbbell for this one. I COULD do barbell since my gym has a half seat, fuck it i'll end do both on separate days that way I can compare.

Let's make it a rule that your whole back has to actually be touching the seat, not like some of these goofs I see with ridiculously arched backs

[mc25]

Did the hangs today, and faillllled.
Only could do 45 seconds, did them immediately after shrugs which was a bad idea.

[Neva]

pressed 9 @ 85 tonight. I'll try again later in the week

[mc25]

Did 9@55% body weight (95lbs). Also repeated the dead man hangs, did a little better at 1.2 minutes, but clearly still needs some work when comparing to some of your guy's numbers.

[hx2gls]

I did strict military press (feet together so no leg drive) because the seats my gym have are an adjustable bench which doesn't go straight and the preacher curl seat ==

20 @70lbs

[Phozy]

Hm.. putting all these challenges together would be a pretty killer full body workout ! :) i should try it one day..

:thumbsup:

[hal0g0dv2]

Did it again today and got 20 @ 100lbs on video.

Berz out.

[DaFonz]

10 using 40 lb dumbbells.

[JD¹³]

How far down for each rep: elbows to 90, bar below the chin? I'll do this tonight.

[Berzerker]

I was going to bar about mouth level. That's way past parallel for me with long arms.

Berz out.

[mc25]

The further down you go, the more muscle you are exerting, and you are also engaging more of that muscle (hope I worded it in a way that everyone understands, haha). I personally like a little lower weight and go through the full range of motion, but it depends on what your goals are (this is the same for any exercise). If you want size, higher weight at parallel is fine.

Is it wrong that I am constantly looking forward to these weekly challenges haha? Get the next one up!!!!!!

[RRxtar]

Thats why I do 4 different shoulder pushing exercises a week split into 2 days (monday, friday).

day 1
Regular dumbell seated presses to bars thru the ears depth. Higher weight 6-8 rep range
Standing strict barbell military presses to bar to chin depth. Lower weight 8ish reps

day 2
Arnold dumbell seated presses with arms lowered fully and rotated to the front. Lower weight 8-10 rep range
Standing barbell military presses with a half push press on the last couple reps. Higher weight. 4-6 reps

lower weight and deeper higher reps seems to build more shoulders. higher weight builds strength, which inturn, allows me to lift more weight for the lower weight exercises.

[TouringTeg]

Half bench was taken so did seated dumbell press.

20 x 50lb dumbells to parallel @ 192 lbs.

[JD¹³]

Did it with both the 100lb barbell and 50lb dumbbells back to back, no spotter.

Barbell: 19.5 reps @ 200lbs (I failed 3/4 of the way on the up half of the rep)
Dumbbells: 23 reps @ 200lbs

Dumbbells was a more natural push for me, never done a free bar military press before. Felt weird.

[mc25]

lol…19.5

[strykn]

lol ill do the challenge just for u berz

[Phozy]

Dumbbells : 14 @ 30lbs

[strykn]

34 @ 110 dbells..... my standing was more :suspicious:

[JD¹³]

110lb dumbbells? You weigh 440lbs?

^ Not everybody is experienced with Olympic lifts

Yeah, I know. I didn't go through the entire thread but figured the usual squat, DL, bench, curls of some sort were already done and this would be different.

Maybe cleans then? Cleans are probably more common, especially if there are any past rugby football players here.

[SkinnyPupp]

Cleans are fun, but brutal at higher reps
