You should enter Wolfie! I would love to see 400 reps with 225!

Im in, but why is there less than 2 weeks notice? It gives no time to prepare/practice.

You fat permabulkers are all 250 pounds plus. It is not impressive seeing a 300 pound guy bench 225, 30 times. How about having weightclasses?

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #4 on:** April 21, 2008, 04:33:59 PM »

i'm in. expect 25-ish outta me.

I generally just hang out in the vons parking lot on el camino and pick fights with people driving "chick SUV'S "

Good stuff guys...looking forward to it!
If you assume that most guys who train at least a little should be able to do 10-12 reps at 225, then a good weight for girls is probably about 95 pounds. I'm in if I can do 95 pounds.

because i'm one of those permabulkers..and there's no way I'll be able to put up more than twenty in this...stamina is different than pure strength

Well I was kinda joking too. 115 would be reasonable...but the timing isn't good on this one for me, so I'll sit out and just be a cheerleader.

this should be a "how many reps of your bodyweight" challenge.

can't do it because there only using 45 pound plates and you weigh less than 135.

good idea, but too easy to cheat.
