Lol, man, it KICKED MY ASS! What really sucks is that I didn't bother to really get the straps tight because I didn't think grip would be the limiting factor, but that is exactly what happened. The last 10 reps it felt like I was losing the bar.
Anyway, here is the video:
I got 58 reps. I think if I do it again I could get more. It is just a matter of acclimating to stupidly high reps.
Chris
The True Adonis owns your mind.
Lol, no, I just like a challenge.
You are numero uno.
Do use the youtube feature next time though.
You probably would have got 60 had you used clips. Stabilizes the weight.

Bast would probably struggle with deadlifting 225 for 10 reps if his prefered weight is 160 lbs.

LOL!!!!!!!
This dude is a southern American version of me.
It's gonna be interesting because there are gonna be alot of people that end up trying this I'm thinking. We might not even hear about them all but IMO, it's officially taken hold, this thing; Chris's entry was probably the tipping point. Also there are gonna be alot of overall size/strength/conditioning gains with the guys who are trying this. See, now Chris is already wanting to try it again. It's drive like this that breaks plateaus. My point is that this thing is really healthy for the board.
I would struggle with 1 rep now since i had arm surgery recently, fuckface.
That being said, I still have a better physique than you.

Seriously, TA claim has no proof backing it, and if some seriously strong people can't disprove with with videos trying their hardest, then TA's claim is obviously bullshit. ::)
Are you saying that I am yourstraight,redneck doppleganger, Matt C?

Exactly. If I'm not mistaken, Chris Mason's maximum deadlift is over 650 and Zach hit 510 before as posted on youtube and has a little more than that in him. I maxed out at 425 last week after doing multiple heavy sets leading up to that but I'm good for a little over 450 and I found 23 reps to be hard.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Are you saying this is because it would make you too consciously aware of your limitations, Bast?
I think this is a pretty cool thing.. Max out with 225.
I think a lot of Getbiggers can look forward to some back growth within the coming months. ;D
HAHA AWESOME JOB CHRIS!!! That's it.. I'll make 60. If old man chris was let out the old folks home for his recess hour just to beat us young kids... the hell I'm going to let that happen! ;D
i think i'm gonna go heavy again this week, maybe go for another set with 225 next thursday before the contest ends. at this point i know i'm out of the running, but i'm still curious to see how many i can get if i really push it.Doesn't the contest end in Feb?
Matt excels at gaying up threads.Is that King Kamali standing to the right of Gary in that first pic?
MattC blew it again by posting 1 gay picture out of like 3.. ::) hahahaha
Matt, just come out already.

You're too young to have a heart attack from deadlifting; hope this helps.
unfortunately, you're right. each time i had to stop because my heart was going too fast. i know i'd be able to crank out more if i wasn't concerned about dropping. real shame, i thought i had a chance for at least 2nd. :(
chaos, this one ends jan 11th, the PL board one ends in february.

Zack,
That was impressive, but I'm not sure you followed the rules. RESTING IS ALLOWED IN THE TOP POSITION, not with the bar sitting on the floor. That's akin to racking the bar in a bench press contest. But 240 is the official arbiter, so I'll concede to his final decision.
From the Original Thread after MATTC sought clarification of the Rules:
1. Straight Bar.
2. Tap and Go is acceptable. Bar must not leave your hands. Resting in top position is legal. Continuous video only.
3. Youtube.com submissions only. If you can't figure out how to compress a 300mb video to fit Youtube's guidelines (100mb or less), perhaps 240 can help you with your technical proficiency.
4. By popular demand, the deadline is extendedanother month through January 11, 2008February 28, 2008! Additional prizes being added to the mix, including one-on-one telephone consultations with the Pros.
5. Good luck and get those videos up!
PS. Alex, get it done!
you can die from heart failure at any age.
If you have some undiagnosed flaw, or if you just overdo it, you can die suddenly. I'm not saying 20 or 50 or 70 deadlifts can kill you. But it is something to take into consideration when lifting. I don't know all the details of Jesse Maurande's death in July... but he was 27, wasn't he?
Do we get bonus points for the contest if we die during the lift?

Back day is tuesday for me..I don't normally do deads.but I am sure that I can crank out 90 reps or so
the battery in my camera is low so it might only record 10-15 reps

Yes you can. Most athletes die from idiotrophic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Long QT syndrome is also another issue.
Yeah but that doesn't make it ok to use this as an excuse not to try to deadlift hard if you have an interest in doing it or value what it could potentially do for you, is all I'm saying.

I fully agree, you should never live life in fear of what may happen. Jesse loved what he did eventhough I do think he knew his family had a history of heart problems.Probaly overdosing on the Test and Anadrol,When i was doing heavy cycles my Bloodpressure skyrocketed.

Special Ed, why no reply to this?
it's very rare, but it does happen. Didn't derek anthony lose a 30-year old friend recently who passed from heart failure? I'm not saying it's any excuse not to go all out in the gym.. just the reality that some people in this world have poor tickers.
TA never said he did it without rest. He did it with periods of rest, Canning.
P.S. I had a mild heart attack at 29 while squating so please don't fool yourself it does happen.
If you don't mind sharing, what caused it? Are you okay as far as living a long life now? Any limitations? I had my own scare thsi past summer as well but came up clean.
That was a lie I threw in for dramatic effect.
sorry.

brutal 13 inch arms, skinny legs and receding hairline at age 32.Why do you keep giving Chris a hard time?
Why do you keep giving Chris a hard time?because i like it.

You know I was thinking about it today; this really is an extreme event. It's scary because it's a light enough weight to really get your reps up for most people, but it's a big enough exercise to require total-body effort and I think there really is a large chance of injury with this one; or at least a pretty good chance for passing out if you take it to your limit. If you'll notice both serious contenders have gone into their "all-out" trials with artificial stop-blocks in place...Magoo with his perceived cardiac limitations and Chris with his straps undone. Now ask yourself why he'd want to try this without straps. It's because subconsciously he knows that he could potentially push himself farther than he's ever gone in his life on this feat which is not unlike the physical abyss; I'm serious, if you actually took this to absolute failure there are lots of systems/bodyparts/muscle attachments that could be pushed past anything you've ever known and the shit can get spooky if your mindset is strong enough to push to the end. "The end" would probably be unconsciousness as opposed to not being able to budge the bar off the floor anymore, especially when you're at the 40+ rep range.
So what I'm saying is that this is an extreme event and there may be some sick bastards coming out of the woodwork to try this as time goes by and it catches on more; I think the deadline should be pushed back to at least Valentines' day; wait til you see the coming entrant attempts; this thing could seriously get sick...
Also another thing to consider is that as more and more people post videos doing higher and higher reps, it will open up our perceptions; I'll bet that already Zach doesn't think 30 is so many anymore; I bet next time he digs in and gets at least 40 and you don't gain like that unless your overall perspective has changed as far as what is "possible" or even "acceptible" depending on where he sees himself relative to Chris Mason.
It is interesting to think that if, God forbid, any getbiggers did die during the lift, they could become internet legends if their training partner were to post it online.

Very impressive Chris.
Thank you.how do u feel u can improve on this?
how do u feel u can improve on this?
What do you mean? Do you mean how can I get more reps?what did you learn from doing this, what could you improve on or do better this time? Things you could focus on more? shit like that.
to get more reps, yes, ofcourse.
That's a dumb question to ask. I'm sure Mr. Mason thinks he can get more, but the point is that whole Adonis 225 for 115 reps thing has been blown out of the water.I believe the question was posed to chris mason, I'm still waiting for his answer.
I suggest you focus on eating more calories and hit the weights hard, haider.
I believe the question was posed to chris mason, I'm still waiting for his answer.Since he's not replying let me reply to your question.
Since he's not replying let me reply to your question.Meltdown.
First of all, you assumed you knew why I was asking the question. I don't care about what Adonis did or did or not do (he's full of shit, doesn't take a genius to figure that out), what I do care about is what is named the "Adonis" youtube challenge. I mentioned before that I was interested in giving the challenge a shot, so I was asking chris about his experience so I could learn a bit more.
Even if I wasn't doing this competition, it's an interestin question to ask nevertheless. For you to step in and try to dictate what I should be asking/doing is a pretty rude thing to do.
Happy new year, good luck with the goals you have set out to acheive. :)
Meltdown.goddamnit I had planned on putting that at the end to automatically secure myself from cracker fvcks like you >:(
Chris, I have a question -
As you know your DL 1RM (or at least can calculate it using your 10RM, etc)...
Can you create a formula for estimating one's max number of reps with 225, using their 1RM, 5 RM, or 10RM?
I know there are a lot of factors like endurance, etc... but if anyone could do the math and estimate one, I thought it'd be you.
goddamnit I had planned on putting that at the end to automatically secure myself from cracker fvcks like you >:(I'm debating, those PL guys are talking about 15-20 reps with 500, I know from experience I can only get 3-4 reps. :'(
Are you gonna give the other competition a shot? or this one?
I'm debating, those PL guys are talking about 15-20 reps with 500, I know from experience I can only get 3-4 reps. :'(
I have already pulled 30 reps with 225, after Adonis first opened his mouth about 112 reps, so I am leaning more towards the higher rep challenge.
How about you? What kind of reps have you pulled with 225?

Youre not going to see me at 15-20. Ill be lucky to get 10.Yeah, but from my view, knowing I'm only good for 3-4, it makes it no contest for me.

S.A.I.D. - Specific Adaptation to Imposed DemandThanks for the reply!
Training for high reps elicits a different adaptation. So, basically, a few high rep sessions would result in an increase in reps performed.
Beyond that:
- Crank the wrist straps
- Possibily work 25 reps at a time with a brief rest between
Most I ever got with 225 was like 27.. At a weight for 210 lbs or more.
I have a hard time using Mason's form.. I use all back like Mr. Magoo for some because it just feels more natural to me.
I did do 405 for a single and that's my best ever deadlift at a younger age and when I was chubby.
Here's a pic of me at 19 when I was able to manage that many reps.. These days I'd struggle to hit 20 hahaha pathetic

TA never said he did it without rest. He did it with periods of rest, Canning.
no, he said something like he got 112 reps and it only took him about 3 minutes which worked out to be a rep every 3 seconds or something like that which I said was impossible waaaaaay back in the TA deadlift thread around the time of the Arnold classic.
The way I remember it was he said he did rest as he went ..but at the top...and it took 5 minutes or so. All of these guys have done their max reps well under the 3 minute mark...they just ran out of steam. So, even though I think Adonis is full of shit completely...technically, time wise, it should be possible if you had super duper endurance...because Chris did 58 and had quite a bit of time to spare ...but again, I don't think Adonis did it, he just was stirring the pot for laughs.I don't remember, I just know when I divided the number of reps performed by the time in seconds that he had stated the pace was incredible.

I see my record still stands front and center as it should. If one were to use the brain, achieving 112 reps with 225 lbs on a deadlift is mere simplicity albeit with a tincture of skill rubbed in for good measure.
I await the man who can break the sword that I thrust ever so deeply in the stone.

That is what's funny about the whole thing.. ;D

I still enjoyed seeing some people try though. You have to admit that Magoo, Chris Mason, tommywishbone and MattC all did a great job. Kudos to them.
