Are their any contests in the works, bench, squat, dead anything???

In short, no.

The last one we had there was trouble with some of the shipping of prizes and I just dont want to promise things that I cant personally deliver.

Chris Mason has been an awesome supporter of our little contests here though! Im sure he would be happy to participate as long as all the details are in line.

I guess the next one would be a squat contest. Only thing is that the depth would have to be WELL below parallel so that camera angles dont come into play too much. Its really very hard to judge video of squats and I see that as the only option.

man id get killed in a squat contest but id still enter...id help out with the contest if needed, shipping, organizing etc...these contests are pretty cool they let you compete and get to know the other getbiggers a little.

lol im down but i dont think we would have as much participation if we didnt have prizes.

I agree, lets just have a competition.

And squat is fine with me, although I'd preferred another deadlift competition.

I have no problem with people using the monolift or even if there's a suited competition, if someone wants to use canvas or multiply suits and extra long wraps.

Just as long as the squat is USPF/USAPL/IPF depth.

That's the only thing I wish for, real solid squat depth.

Like Kazmaier:

im down my squats suck but ill bust a gut trying

yeah i let the ball drop on the apt stuff.... i'd put in an order and the prizes requested would either be out of stock this time or then the next group would be out of stock and i could never get them all shipped in at once. I'm trying another order this saturday in hopes to get it all in. I'm negating my own sponsored gear for the spring time to cover everyone's prizes since they were promised.

and i fucking HATE squats.. I'd do them but c'mon HAHA

how about a 60% of your bodyweight push press for reps?

you appear to be forgetting someone.

someone who won the bench press competition and entered the non-PL board deadlift one.

someone who probably would enter the squat competition even though his videos have shown exactly what he's capable of.

you know who i'm referring to?

lol id do that it would only be like 120 for me but my shoulders fugged up so probably would be good.

i doesnt have to be for max weight, we could do something like the bench for reps (ex. 135,225,315) so anyone could get in it, not just the real strong. I just makes going to the gym more fun if you have a direct goal in mind.

brent2741 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:37:46 AM »

Another idea is, over at bb.com they have a race to dead 500 and another to dead 700 we could do something like that?

very true the bench press challenge got my bench up pretty good and i looked forward to every chest day

i like that idea but i guess it depends on where everyone starts if a guy is lifting 450 he has a better chance of lifting 500 before a guy who is lifting 315

either way its at least some form of comp for the time being.

Ill do this i did it with Earl on the sports board ill bet my board signiture for a month it can say whatever the winner wants kinda stupid but at least its something.

Stubborn · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2008, 11:34:49 AM »

I've done the "Race to 12647lbs" before but its not as fun IMO.

I think a 315 for reps is in order.

I think we may have yet another competitor too? Master Mangoo or something? I've heard of him I think?

yes, lets do a flat bench with 315 for reps

Oh I thought we were doing squat but we can do bench too I suppose.

If the plates I use dont make a "clanking" sound just disregard that.

tonymctones · « **Reply #22 on:** December 11, 2008, 01:54:15 PM »
