500lb DEADLIFT CHALLENGE!!! Official rules and entry *Prizes listed*

[danielson]

he's saying you have three minutes to do it..so if you blow your load in 4 reps.. and take 2 minute sto recover before trying to do another one..you can do that as long as you don't let go of the bar.

But thats stupid. Should be one set, continuous.

[BFP]

OK so we've potentially got:

-Lift4Size
-thewickedtruth
-Jason Pegg
-BEAST8692
-Geo
and possibly The Luke, mesomorph, and Max.
 
What are the body weights?  How much does Jason weigh??

Normally Im a hair over 300...but come contest time Ill be 120 or so.  Yes.  120.

this is more along the lines of strongman style of competing where you have x amout of time to perform a certain lift as many times as you can. This is the powerlifting/strongman forum...what's stupid about having strongman rules? 

[dov]

are these true deads or "tap and go" because if anyone can pull one rep, then bouncing it off the floor for a second is rather easy in comparison...my point being that no one should get only one rep if "tap and go" is allowed.

Correct! I KNOW nobody is gonna hit 500 for 3 straight minutes but this isnt about ridiculous rep totals as much as it is about calling on your inner strength and endurance. Its a mental game more than anything. Most will rep it out for a minute or two and bow out, but the truly strong will get down and regroup for one or two more because they know it could mean all the difference in the end!

Yes it is tap and go, just as it is in a Strongman comp. The tap MUST be obvious, none of this "I heard the plates rattle, its a tap" bullshit! KLANK and the weight comes up, thats it.

[G.R.H.]

sorry dudes, but i ain't that strong, and i don't want people to laugh! 

[The Luke]

There should be a ONE MINUTE time limit... otherwise someone will have a coronary.

I really dont know about that? I dont know what I can do for a set right now much less 3 minutes?!

[thewickedtruth]

haha I know what I can get in one minute and I know you fuckers are in some shit when I throw down for this! 

[brent2741]

i've done 405 for thirty but i have no idea how long it took.

[thewickedtruth]

i've done 405 for thirty but i have no idea how long it took.

I've done sets with 405 for 20 in under a minute and 315 for 30 but I can't imagine 405 for 30 reps good lord..maybe for sets of 10 divided up with little rest between but no way in hell for a continuous set. You da man.. no way I'm going for that haha

[brent2741]

it must of took a better part of 5 min, but the last 10 were a complete blur where you can't really feel or think anything, you just see black.

[The Squadfather]

of course you have.

   you did 405 for twenty in under a minute...and you find it hard to imagine getting 30 in  3 minutes? 

[The Squadfather]

hahahaha, where do these clowns come from, is there a full moon out?

 Watch Magoos video where he did close to 30 reps with 225 in 3 minutes...he said he was about to have a heart attack...not from the weight but the cardio workout. I can't imagine 405 trying to go that fast

405 doesn't move that fast for anyone not named Bolton or Magnusson.

   Are you suggesting that someone has exaggerated their lifting claims?

[headhuntersix]

I'm in...not sure how many i can pull in 3 min but I think i can get back to 500lbs in  a month or so. My problem might be getting someone to film it, I'm going to feel like an idiot..we'll see. I'll know by Feb 1 or so if I'm close but I'm in.

[The Squadfather]

until i see proof i'm suggesting that ALL OF THEM are exaggerating.

[brent2741]
