man, I had a hell of time getting 545 to touch tonight in that damned Rage X.   I couldn't get it into the groove for shit.


I've got two rage X's of exactly the same design (open back, velcro, scooped neck), except one has 1 inch more taken off the sleeves (for my short tyranosaurus rex arms).  The one wiht the longer sleeves touches with 455 no problem.  The other I'm struggling even up through the mid 5's.  Any one else have this problem with a Single Layer Rage X? 







**Sorry for getting off topic, cauthon sparked a random thought and bitch session.

i had a double rage-x grid stitched, and despite being a little too big for me, it was impossible to touch under 455 unless i let my form slip to shit. of course, then, since it was too big it meant i had absolutely ZERO support for the top half of the lift, so there was no weight i could both touch and press.  :P

we could do bench press 315 or 225 for the most in under a minute or 2?

We spoke of these contests recently:

405 DL for reps
315 Bench for reps
225 Suitcase style lift for reps (there your grip challenge, Hedge)

These are for reps because we need to see the correct setup of weights on the bar and for it to be consistent throughout the vids. Squat is a little rough to do vids for because of the camera angles and depth police.

Open to new ideas!
Ahem>>>Atlas stones for reps ;D

i MIGHT be okay on the 225 rep-out, but i'd get smashed with 315.

lift4's got a pretty good list. sure i can't do balls on many of those compared to you guys here, but i'd have no problems going for it.

225 is pretty standard on bench I suppose.

Lets look into that further.

PM me to discuss ruling/judging.

all right, all i request is this:

1) no grip challenges

2) nothing TOO heavy

3) i don't really like lower body lifts for maxes

4) wicked and mason aren't allowed to enter

i figure that should be, uh, "fair".  ;D

Bodyweight DL fpr reps? I think youre going to be dissappointed with ANY  bench contest personally, but will support it either way!
