There was an unofficial video comp awhile back. You can use straps and pause for as long as you want but no putting down the bar. I think Mister Magoo did the best so far somewhere in the 40s and he got major props, much deserved imo. Post up if you can beat it.
i got 30 on my first try when i didn't put the bar down, 50 when i stopped on the floor, but definitely could have hit 40 without it. believe me, you have no idea how hard it gets once you're about 20 reps deep. it's not like a gradual thing, you're just chugging along no problem and suddenly WHAM, you can't breathe and everything burns. that's why my videos show me stopping even though the weight doesn't look like it's a struggle, the overall taxing of the body is outrageous.
Tre, it's mental to a point. i was actually getting lightheaded and this was when my heart was having some issues. the last thing i needed was to overdo it. but my recent workouts had me doing things like 225x21/15/9 in a circuit beltless for speed, so i'm actually curious as to what i might be capable of now.
hm. i might find out come monday...
