there are at least 50 or 60 getbiggers who could easily usurp that prize money............its just that they are already so wealthy and strong........that they have nothing left to prove.

These are exercises and movements that these guys do in the gym on a daily basis...the weights used are such that they wont be doing 50 reps, or a max...

Sorry bro, we just had 10,000 burning a hole in our Olympia sweatpants and wanted to give it away....

we wont count on your participation...

More prize money than the women and 202 classes. The "athletes" won't appreciate that. ;D

Great. And will there be 14 spotters allowed so nobody really knows who's lifting them weights?

Good for you. You'd rather look like a pimp or a drug dealer. That's mighty courageous. See 0:35.

Unless a special formula is used, these type of events should always be won my smaller guys. Its much easier for a guy at say 70kg to lift various weights pound for pound, then it is for a guy who is 120K.

This is a crappy challenge.  The human body has limitations to the weight it can handle.  A 100 pound man who has some strength can squat 200 pounds a lot more than a 300 pound man having to squat 600 pounds for reps.  The toll that 600 pounds puts on any body is exponentially greater than 200 pounds no matter your weight as long as you have the strength.
