My stab at 225 lbs for reps!
« on: December 30, 2007, 05:51:49 PM »
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.

You probably would have got 60 had you used clips.  Stabilizes the weight.

If I had cranked my wraps a bit tighter I would have had 60.

With all due respect, TA nearly doubles this.

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.

TA never said he did it without rest. He did it with periods of rest, Canning.

For how many minutes?  Even holding the bar in the top position is not easy after you've been lifting so much weight for so long.

My next entry will be 30-40 reps within the guidelines.

Epic "I must defend everything Adonis has ever said because I have so much of my ego tied up in maintaining that he wasn't full of shit that my world might be destroyed if I cave in to logic" post.  You exhibit classic signs of "true believer" syndrome, Bast.  

True-believer syndrome is a term coined by M. Lamar Keene in his 1976 book The Psychic Mafia. Keene used the term to refer to people who continued to believe in a paranormal event or phenomenon even after it had been proven to have been staged.[1] It has since been applied, more loosely, to refer to any belief without empirical or logical foundations. Keene himself considered it to be a cognitive disorder,[2][3] and regarded it as being a key factor in the success of many mediums.[1] The term "true believer syndrome" is not used professionally by mainstream psychologists, psychiatrists or medical professionals and it is not recognised as a form of psychopathology or psychological impairment.

In his book The Psychic Mafia, Keene tells of a psychic medium named Raoul. Some people still believed that Raoul was genuine even after he openly admitted that he was a fake. Keene wrote "I knew how easy it was to make people believe a lie, but I didn't expect the same people, confronted with the lie, would choose it over the truth. ... No amount of logic can shatter a faith consciously based on a lie." [4]

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

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.  ::)

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.

I agree... this is a great thing.  Good lift, Chris.  Tell your boy Wolfe to go ahead and knock out 75 reps tomorrow with 225.

Just curious here. Why were you so keep to come and semi-bash Mason's feat? Do you actually buy Adonis' cock and bull story? I mean it has pretty much proven to be false.

And who was ever making a comparison of physiques? I merely said you'd struggle at your prefered bodyweight and height; so you really had no right to comment on Mason using clips and how it'd help him.

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.
