okay, this is the LAST TIME i will ever do this. i nearly had a coronary this time around, so if anyone manages to top me then congrats. you win.

yes, i rested a little too long on the floor and wasted time, but still skated in under 3 minutes with time to spare. i have a feeling if i'd have done better if the time was upped to 5 minutes, but on the other hand i might not make it to the end.

50. i have a thing about getting round numbers. if i'd done one more rep i'd have obligated myself to hitting 55 or 60. damn OCD.

that still pretty good, so your saying TA couldn't have done it?

well if you count my 1st attempt i'm in second with 30.

otherwise, MattC got i think 23 reps, so he's in 2nd.

The Master · « **Reply #8 on:** December 27, 2007, 01:23:35 PM »

Seems like you had a lot more left in your muscles. If you increased by 20 reps from attempt 1 to 2, you could be able to improve even more during the next few weeks.

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 extended ~~another month through January 11, 2008~~February 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!

Van_Bilderass · « **Reply #11 on:** December 27, 2007, 01:31:43 PM »

Well done.

Hopefully this was within the rules as Ed said you could only rest at the top??

Edit: saw that Ed already posted

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2007, 01:37:49 PM »

fuck, for real? well then it looks like 30 is my limit. $:-\$

but wait, didn't mattc's video show him resting on the floor too?

anyway, debussey, my muscles had more in me but my system didn't. those last five just shattered me. i was on the brink of collapse at that point.

I haven't seen MattC's entry. Only Youtube entries are acceptable, not WMV videos that force me to delete episodes of BrazilBang to make room for guys in their underwear and pro-keds!

ahhh. well yeah, he did pause around 17 or 18 if memory serves, then kept going.

hopefully rob will allow the floor pause because god dammit that was awful, and like i said i'm not doing it again.

long as i win it doesn't matter.

still, i want credit for 50, not thirty. otherwise, like pumpher said, i'mma need to go for the 2nd heart attack.

Dude, you'll get 60+ next time if you nail the relaxation in a standing position.

well the deadline's the 11th, so i guess if i take a week to recover i might consider shooting for it on the 10th. you have a point, though. if i work on being able to rest the bar on my thighs and lean back at the top, i could possibly take some of the tension off.

it'd be pretty rockin' to top 60, i'll admit.

i'm okay with the floor rest, if the other powers that be are in majority agreement!

that was hella impressive. I put 225 on the bar yesterday and did 18 reps and stopped. I might have had 2 or 3 more, but a lifetime of back disc problems flashed before my eyes and I stopped.

Nothing in the original post about not resting on the ground. That was a good lift.

dammit, i'm easily coerced into things normally, but to have gary busey's apostle telling me to is just unfair. looks like i've gotta try at least one more time.

rob, seems like most are willing to put it in. realize that resting on the floor may make the set "easier", but it also robs you of time because you're likely to rest longer before getting back into position. and since we're talking about 3 minutes as opposed to 1 or 2 it seems fair.
